Premise of the Game
During the Industrial Revolution in 18th century England, the Alchemy Guild feared they would lose their influence over the wealthy of the city. Out of their fear, they focused on summoning demons and creating Shardbinders. Shardbinders are humans forced to be fused with demonically charged crystals to summon the demons from hell. Summoned demons and their evil effects could be felt throughout the city until the church banished them. One of the sacrificed Shardbinders, Miriam, and others are now trying to stop the evil within England.

Infinite ammo
Successfully complete all of Susie’s cooking quests to get the Recycle hat that gives unlimited ammo when worn.
Play as Lili
Obtain the Bunny Morphosis shard from Lili to unlock her.
Play as Shovel Knight
Obtain the EX-Shovel Armor from Shovel Armor to unlock Shovel Knight.
Sound mode
Complete the game with the “Good” ending to unlock Sound mode at the main menu. Sound mode allows you to play music, sound effects, and voices from the game. It also features “special messages.”
Equip Blood bringer as a weapon and familiar.
Create a shortcut with Bloodbringer as the weapon, leaving the familiar shard blank. The rest of the set does not matter. Next, unequip your weapon and set Bloodbringer as familiar. Then, switch to the shortcut you created to equip Bloodbringer as a weapon and familiarize yourself. Note: You can now save a new shortcut with both sets to make this quicker in the future. This works because the game does not change some of your currently equipped gear/shards if there is nothing to change to in that gear/shard slot.
Easy money
After encountering Harry, he will plant seeds and grow crops to share with you. You can buy seeds from Dominique in the shop nearby. Buy as many Rice Seeds as possible and have Harry plant one. Then, leave through the door to the right. Enter and exit Harry’s screen five times (you will see the rice grow a bit each time you enter). The rice stalk will be yellowish on top when it is done. Talk to him, and he will give you 10 Rice. Dominique sells Rice Seeds for 100 each, but she will buy the 10 Rice for 160. Note: You can only carry 99 Rice at a time. Thus, sell them before harvesting more, or you will lose them.
Fight the Librarian
Borrow the Tome of Conquest at the Librarian O.D. Then, proceed to a room at Glacial Tomb (two rooms to the left of the area’s warp portal) to encounter the Librarian, ready to battle for not returning his valuable book. He is strong. Defeat him to get a shard that allows you to stop time. Additionally, return to his library after defeating him, and he will be wearing a costume mask and allow you to borrow all his books at once.
Secret treasure chests
After obtaining the Invert shard, go to the room directly below OD’s library to find a chute beneath his chair. Use the Invert shard to push him up to the ceiling, then use the Invert again to return things to normal. If done correctly, two treasure chests will appear when you land back on the floor. One treasure chest contains the Nose Glasses item, and the other includes the Macaroni and Cheese. Additionally, you will get the “Déjà Vu” trophy when doing this secret. This secret references a similar one in Castlevania: Symphony of The Night.
Piano recital
Equip the Caraboose fairy familiar shard (if you do not have it, just kill lots of Caraboose pink fairies until you get it) and go to the piano area in the Garden Of Silence. Sit on the chair in front of the piano and wait for a moment. Miriam will start playing the piano and Caraboose Familiar will start singing alongside her. Once the song is finished, you will get the “Recital” trophy.
