I notice how this is the only final boss theme that actually sounds upbeat and triumphant... which is fitting, since if you play all of the games in a chronological order,r this is the FINAL boss of them all
@@slasher7814 plague's campaign is canon; it happens alongside shovel knight's campaign, just some details were slightly changed by plague knight in his favor.
I was so pumped when shield knight actually did something to help in the fight. Blocking projectiles, holding her shield up so you could pogo off of it, etc. Amazing work, Yacht Club!
this fight was pretty long and drawn out until you begin to realize you can jump on her head 3 times after bouncing off of shield knight and when she tries to fly to a side you can chase her with the propeller dagger to do bounce on her head again.
EREDAR LORD OF THE BURNING LEGION 3? Thou hast not mastered the art of the shovel bounce, good sir knight! During that fight, I considered anything less than 6 bounces an abject failure!
I have since played "Shantae: Half-Genie Hero" and "Scurge: Hive". I have also played "Legend of Kay Anniversary" at some point and have bought "Adventures of Pip", but have yet to play it.
Have any of you played Contra 4 on the DS? ...i didn't even know who Jake Kaufman was back then! Then I listened to FX4 and recognized some of his musical techniques, and I was like, *OH SHIT!* Then I heard the original 8 bit version of the Jungle Theme from Contra 4, and was like, *OHHHH, SHIT!!! THAT WAS HIM?!*
0:15 I love this part. The two instruments getting higher together perfectly symbolizes the teamwork of Shovel Knight and Shield Knight. Hell the first half of this theme is theirs, not the Enchantresses, and even when it transitions to her portion, they're still a part of it. As a side note, in the part I mentioned before, each instrument hits 3 notes before switching to the other one and you're supposed to be able to land three hits on the boss with the shovel. Intentional or not (and I would guess it was), its pretty awesome, especially since every other part of this track seems to follow a rule of 4.
nah, it's a mediocre final boss, putting a checkpoint in between the two phases feels anticlimac, especially considering how easy is the second phase compared to the first one, soundtrack is still amazing anyway
@@luorsimiliar the boss maybe somewhat easy from what I heard, but the fact is that that just adds more emphasis to the fact that shovel knight is reunited with shield knight and now that they are together, the power of their bond makes them unstoppable. TLDR: the boss is probably somewhat easy so that the player can feel awesome.
For me this is one of the greatest final boss themes in gaming. It starts off sounding like this unpassable hurdle - and then at 1:04 the triumphant Shovel Knight theme pierces through the cacophony as if to say "you got this! You're winning! Keep going!" Before devolving back into a battle of turmoil. It's brilliant
After all this time, you're finally reunited with the person you love. Now, there's just one thing left to do... Defeat the evil, once and for all. Should you fail, everything will be lost. Forever. You can't let the Enchantress take over the land. And you can't let her steal Shield Knight from you again. It's time to end it all, and you will do it... together. This is it. The final battle. VICTORY WILL BE OURS. This is what this music screams to me.
“The betrayer” In the prequel, Donovan BETRAYS Luan when near the amulet So was Donovan controlled by the amulet all along? It makes sense considering his sudden anger, plus there would be no reason to give the song that name
I love how during the fight the ark anchors bounces off of the head of the enchantress so it can discourage to spam it like how you do it with tinker knight.
The final boss was very short and I was a little disappointed but I liked that Shovel Knight and Shield Knight cooperated. And what to say about the theme of this final boss is epic and incredible!!!
If I was forced to assign this song to one genre and only one genre, I wouldn't be able to do it. I'd have to make up a genre on the spot....Chip-Rock. That's the genre. Chip-Rock.
I know I'm late to the party, but in the games final scene, after the end credits, we see shield knight,badly beaten up and missing her shield, but very much alive, walk up to shovel knight's campsite and lay down next to him. In short, she lived!
Metalguy40 Nah, she was easy for me. Dodge some shots, pogo twice on Shield Knight, pogo twice on the boss' head until it dashes away. And pogo twice on it's head when it goes down to destroy a platform.
Don't want to start a war, but I think the music of shovel knight was technologically better then the music of undertale, looking at the fact that the shovel knight soundtrack was composed so it could run natively on the nes's sound chip. While I don't hate undertale's more atmospheric style, I will always prefer technique and melody towards ambience.
Andrew Joyner I mean let's just say rn that undertale does have it's rare moments of genius. And the undertale tracks service their purpose quite well in context.
This song feels so heroic compared to the enchantress' theme. And it makes sense, Shovel Knight no longer feels conflicted about attacking the one he loves, he is now fighting alongside her, banishing evil, completely in his element.
It's not really an hard boss fight, especially considering the previous bosses, but it's epic nonetheless (and the music really helps, with its mixture of the Enchantress/Shield Knight themes), so it's a great final battle for me.
its called a "leifmotif", a particular theme associated with a certain idea person or place that gets repeated through the score to bring up that particular thing
It's leifmotif where you heard the part of the song that is the main theme, most popular video game series use this such as Undertale or Kirby or Shovel Knight just to name a few
With the amulet shattered and the Enchantress subdued, the true evil is exposed. Bard: So, helpful tip for my fellow bards: never accept amulets as payment. Trust me. Don't.
+Nightblade Hawk The first Enchantress battle is definitely harder than the second one, but what gave me goosebumps from this fight is the fact that Shield Knight will fight with me!!
+Nightblade Hawk I wish I didn't know about that trick with the propeller blade for the second phase, since I heard a lot of people had a lot of fun with it.
+Alex Kreuter I'm not really using the trick. The thing I did try my first time fighting her was using the anchor you get after beating the angler fish miniboss in the iron whale to hit her head like you'd do to Dracula in Castlevania III using the axe. Guess I played that game a bit to much. XD
Ragnar Ahlman doom was harder this game felt like a hard game with little handholding doom 2016 my have almost no handholding but it is a harder game than shovel knight.
Um. . . . Duh? I do enjoy the original a lot but it would be really cool if someone would take up on themselves to try to remix it (preferably in metal :P).
I find it funny how the first time I played this boss I had no idea what to do, and so I kept waiting for the attack phase to be over, and was confused about why Sheild Knight was jumping up, freeze-framed with her shield up.
For Fuck sake ,,, this is how you do the final boss theme ,,,, people i dare you tell me there is more epic final boss theme that this masterpiece well there is one exception,, the whole ost of bloodborne is on other level of awesomeness and epicness but other that , tell me
Out of all the game's final bosses (Remnant of Fate, Corrupted Essence/Plague of Shadows, Nightmare Reize, Grand Triumvirate, and Mirror of Fate), the Remnant of Fate is my favorite just for this song ALONE. Sure, the Mirror of Fate also had it, but it didn't feel as EPIC when taking down the Mirror of Fate compared to taking down the Remnant of Fate.
The world is ending... The betrayer stands before you in her final form... You should be quaking in your boots... But you don't... You've defeated everyone in your path... You've made it this far... You rescued your long-lost partner... You have made it to the top of the Tower of Fate... You have made it this far... You are DETERMINED to see it through.
shield knight was no help. she would go and try to boost me up when i was at the other side of the screen and when i did get boosted, it was right into magic spheres
A pretty disappointing final boss fight, possibly the easiest boss fight in the game. However, fighting alongside Shield Knight was the best. Reminded my of fighting with Curly in the last stage of Cave Story.
Nah, the easiest is still King Knight. Final Enchantress is plenty rough. Those curvy double orbs are a huge pain in the ass, and Shield Knight's movement can make or break the fight.
Zakuzelo I agree. I'd personally put Treasure Knight up there with him though. Next to him, I had the least trouble, especially if I bust out the Dust Knuckles, which makes King Knight even easier.
I honestly think Enchantress was difficult enough. But you hit the nail on the head with the latter part of your statement. The main point of the fight was being reunited with Shield Knight as you both worked together to rid the land of the Enchantress, and to finally conquer the Tower of Fate together.
I'm pretty sure this was supposed to feel like a curb stomp, since you and shield knight were finally working together, and nothing was going to take you down.

@@slasher7814 how to start a fight in the shovel knight community
Besides the fact Plague Knight fights the Plague of Shadows at the same time Shovel Knight and Shield Knight fight the Enchantress.
I love it when a final boss theme contains bits from the game's main theme. I feel like it reminds you of how far you've come.
More than that, it feels EARNED!
Jake Kaufman simply refuses to miss. God he's so damn good at this.
I felt like such a shit when I missed the jumps that shield knight handed me. The fact that she is in the final stage made me so pump for victory!
I mean the bitch goes to the other side of the map and expects me to jump from HERE!?
REALLY!?
she always does it when im stuck in the corner because of the orb attack
I love that there's a hint of Shield Knight's theme.
especially since Shield Knight (SPOILER ALERT!!!) was possessed by the Enchantress' spirit

“The betrayer”
In the prequel, Donovan BETRAYS Luan when near the amulet
So was Donovan controlled by the amulet all along? It makes sense considering his sudden anger, plus there would be no reason to give the song that name
But the song had that name before SoT came out, making it a coincedince, unless Yacht Club thought it out beforehand. Which would be great.
Right from the start it might be one of the most pumping final boss themes due to the Famicom-esque beat
I love how during the fight the ark anchors bounces off of the head of the enchantress so it can discourage to spam it like how you do it with tinker knight.
Those bits like 0:36-0:42 are the entire reason I looked this up.
Me too
The final boss was very short and I was a little disappointed but I liked that Shovel Knight and Shield Knight cooperated.
And what to say about the theme of this final boss is epic and incredible!!!
6 year old me would not have agreed on the short part. I kept dying, it felt SOOO long...

Honestly still the best piece of music from all the campaigns imo
Because it's chronologically _the_ final boss theme of the series.
This boss was a pain. Well at least when you know how to beat her. This is my favorite final boss and the music says it all.
Metalguy40 Nah, she was easy for me. Dodge some shots, pogo twice on Shield Knight, pogo twice on the boss' head until it dashes away. And pogo twice on it's head when it goes down to destroy a platform.

It's not "Enchantress Final Form."
The boss is separate altogether, being instead called the "Remnant of Fate."
1:52-1:58 is my favourite part :)
such nostalgia
much wow

The god of war easter egg armor made this fight SO much easier. I just floated after the Enchantress while slapping her with my shovel.
Someone needs to metal this song and put epic symphony parts in it.
I still can't find one. I completely agree though.
Just hit up Johnny atma
The fact that there are only three remixes of this song on the entirety of RUclips is criminal. PLEASE SOMEONE REMIX THIS.
Best track in the game.
Just saying, I totally called the Enchantress being Shield Knight. You could see in the promotional art that they both have the same facial structure.
