Ooogh so the siivagunner april fools event got me writing a shovel knight au LMAO. I need to draw later but i guess ill post my ideas in the meantime
Propeller Knight <> Treasure Knight
Plunder Knight
hovers above the clouds on his Metal Buzzard, rarely coming into view. When he does fly down its only to collect a bounty for someone’s head. A lover of the arts, he decorates his deck with stolen masterpieces. and As a lonesome recluse, he doesn’t like working with others, so his crew is made of up of stowaways that are too afraid to jump off. You might call them prisoners.
Lair: the Metal Buzzard (swap iron whale)
Boss room: the buzzard’s beak, top deck (swap the top deck you fight propeller knight on)
Ideas: foreboding steel fortress vibes, with lots of dungeon cells, chains, sunlight peeking through holes in the walls. Flying battery, airship fortress, Pixar’s Up charles muntz blimp. As you go further to the top, Art pieces, marble sculptures, fossils, coveted relics instead of gold everywhere.
Rotor Knight
Maitre D’ of an extremely fancy waterfront restaurant where all manner of upper class villains hang out. Assassins, rogues, and other dangerous types come for the exquisite juice of rotor knight’s private reserve. The restaurant is actually a massive sea vessel, with huge rotors and cannons everywhere. Will NOT joyfully accept a fight any day of the week, he will only fight very important persons.
Lair: the Floating Chateau (swap flying machine)
Boss room: gigantic wine cellar (swap giant treasure vault)
Ideas - big wooden piers, twinkling lights, nighttime gala/city aesthetic, underwater sections. Patrons in the background watching and partying. Massive barrels of juice. Chemical plant zone vibes
Rotor Knight: Hon hon hon! Welcome! I assume you are here for the V.I.P. tour?
