Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is a game that has 12 total unlockable playable characters. It is easy to miss some of the characters even when you beat the game. Here is a guide on how to unlock all of them.
How do I unlock Prism Knight?
Prism Knight is one of the newcomers to the universe in this game. Her powers involve teleportation and the swapping of characters. However, she can be quite an interesting character to use in the game.

Black Knight is the trickiest character to unlock. The character is unlocked by visiting three shrines in the game. The first shrine requires 3 keys. The second requires you to offer some of your hp. The third requires you to spend 20,000 gp to open the gate. However, once all three have been opened in one run you will then unlock Black Knight.
No boss battle is required, but you have a chance of not picking up this character. Black Knight has low hp, but has a mechanic where he spends gem meter to make him stronger.

Shield knight is the companion of Shovel Knight and was a natural inclusion as a playable character. Of course, the gimmick of Shield Knight is the defense. After a chain, she gets a barrier, and she gets an additional life per level.
Shield Knight is the easiest character to unlock, as all you need to do is open the first shrine which requires three keys. Once you open the shrine she will be standing there, and ready to be played on your next run.

King Knight is one of my favorite from the original game. He is an incredibly fun character, and his same charm is in this game. King Knight’s main ability is doing a super-powered charge move in the direction of your choice.
King Knight is unlocked by a boss battle after the Lich Yard level. However, the boss could also be Plague Knight or Specter Knight. King Knight is a very easy fight, and I would say you should have no problems winning. When he is defeated you will be able to play him in your next run.
How do I unlock Specter Knight?
Specter Knight is one of the most unique characters in the game and can be difficult in the beginning. When Specter Knight defeats an enemy he gains health, but when he drinks a potion he takes damage.

Plague Knight is unlocked by a boss battle after the Lich Yard level. However, the boss could also be Specter Knight or King Knight. Plague Knight is the hardest of the three, and you can accidentally get caught. Just be aware of what is falling from the screen. When he is defeated you will be able to play him in your next run.
How do I unlock Treasure Knight?
Treasure Knight is one of my favorite characters in the game. I love the design and the playstyle of the character. Treasure Knight deals more damage to characters when he is underneath them which can be difficult to set up. However, when this works it creates such a fun dynamic to play in.
Treasure Knight is unlocked by a boss battle after the Chromatic Cavern level. However, the boss could also be Tinker Knight or Mole Knight. Treasure Knight is really cool to play against, and the boss actually got me very tense. When he is defeated you will be able to play him in your next run.
How do I unlock Mole Knight?
Mole Knight was the last character I unlocked. Mole Knight can swap places that can set up huge chains. It is a meh ability, but it is one of the easier ones to win the game with.
Mole Knight is unlocked by a boss battle after the Chromatic Cavern level. However, the boss could also be Tinker Knight or Treasure Knight. Mole Knight is one of the best boss battles in the game, and was so much fun to play! When he is defeated you will be able to play him in your next run.
How do I unlock Tinker Knight?
Tinker Knight is the most unique character in the game. Tinker Knight gets metal from destroying boxes in order to make a mech. The mech does extra damage and can handle the enemies on screen easily.
Tinker Knight is unlocked by a boss battle after the Chromatic Cavern level. However, the boss could also be Mole Knight or Treasure Knight. Tinker Knight is the only two-phase boss battle in the game. The first phase is easy, and the second requires you to be on your toes. When he is defeated you will be able to play him in your next run.
How do I unlock Propeller Knight?
Propeller Knight is probably my favorite character in the game. Propeller Knight increases the damage for every enemy defeated outside of a chain. This can be used to change damage into the 30s.
Propeller Knight can be unlocked in the Flying Machine level of the game. However, the boss could also be Prism Knight, Polar Knight, or Scrap Knight. The Propeller Knight fight is really cool, but it is one of the easier in the game. When Propeller Knight is defeated you will then people to play as him.
How do I unlock Polar Knight?
Polar Knight is kind of a middle-of-the-tier character. Polar Knight freezes the enemies in the chain after a fatal blow. This can good, but sometimes it can be irrelevant. I liked playing as the character, but don’t normally go back to him.
Polar Knight can be unlocked in the Flying Machine level of the game. However, the boss could also be Prism Knight, Propeller Knight, or Scrap Knight. The Polar Knight fight is difficult in a good way. A lot is going on during the fight, but it is engaging. When Polar Knight is defeated you will then people to play as him.
