((better)) - Shovel Knight Dig Cheats

Not a cheat, but it acts like one. Grind Mode (unlocked after beating the first Drill Knight fight) lets you replay early stages with all your upgrades. Use it to memorize enemy patterns, farm health tonics, and—most importantly—learn that you can shovel-bounce on lanterns to reach hidden gem caches. Knowledge is the cheat code that can’t be patched.

Happy digging—and may your gem pouch never hit zero. shovel knight dig cheats

Shovel Knight Dig is a test of reflexes, patience, and your ability to laugh after losing 5,000 gems to a single spike pit. But even the most stubborn spade-wielder can use a little help.

Technically a glitch, practically a lifesaver. If you pause the game mid-air and then unpause while holding the dash button, your momentum resets, allowing for an extra dash toward a ledge. It’s frame-perfect, but once mastered, it turns impossible chasms into mere hops. (Use sparingly—Yacht Club Games may patch this in a future update.)
