Water Dungeon secret level
Play the first labyrinth, Spittle Maze, on Saliva Island. Note: Risky’s boots are required. When you first drop down into the labyrinth, you will land on a big step. Use Risky’s boots to charge into the step. Shantae will pass through and enter a hidden passageway. Follow it to reach a version of the Water Dungeon from the original Shantae from the Game Boy Color, including retro graphics and music. At the end of the secret level are three big jars with 1 Pirate Flare, 1 Super Monster Milk, and 1 Auto-Potion.
Alternate ending
Collect all Dark Magic from the 20 Cursed Cacklebats. When you face the Pirate Master in the Palace, he will be Full-Power Pirate Master. Defeat him to view the true ending.
