Shovel Knight: Showdown – How To Unlock Every Secret Character | Unlockables Guide

December 12, 2019 by Kevin Thielenhaus

Unlock fan-favorites heroes and villains in Shovel Knight: Showdown — here’s how to get them all.

The new Showdown DLC for Shovel Knight pits heroes against heroes, adding a new multiplayer rumble to the charming platformer.

You’ll start with just a handful of characters, but it’s possible to unlock lots more fighters by completing objectives. Some of these objectives are revealed in the ‘Unlockables’ menu, but others are totally secret — and even more don’t even tell you what you’re about to unlock!

To make life easier, here’s a full list of all the extra characters you can unlock in the Showdown DLC. Not every character unlocks someone when you complete their story — Shovel Knight himself won’t earn you any special characters. I’ll also explain how to get special ‘skins’ that change the look of certain characters in the list below.
