Defeating Tinker Knight

Attack Tinker Knight with the Mobile Gear during the first phase of his battle to immediately win.

Fight Kratos

Once you can access the Hall Of Champions, go to the second floor. Go to the right, and fight through the enemies until you find a breakable wall at the end of the room. Hit the wall, and enter the secret area. It contains a music sheet as well as a breakable floor at the lower right corner. Perform a downward attack to fall through the floor and fight Kratos. Defeat him to get the Grave Digger Shovel. You can then Bring the Grave Digger Shovel to the blacksmith to get the Chaos Armor.

God Mode

Enter your name as STQQTXVX when you begin a new file. You'll activate God Mode.

Kickstarter project references

Give Music Sheet #23 to the Bard in the Village, and he will say "My first publicly performed lair theme. You might say it Kickstarted my career!"

Enter the Hall Of Champions, and look at the portraits on the walls. Each of them represents someone who donated at least $200 to fund the game's Kickstarter project.

During the ending sequence, you can see five enemies grouped together under the name "The Wandering Travelers." These enemies were actually created by five people that participated in a "Director For A Day" reward for contributing at least $1,000 to the game's Kickstarter project. They are the "Liquid Samurai" enemies; Reize, the Phantom Striker, the Haberdasher, Mr. Hat Boss, and Baz.

Larger Knight

Begin a new profile and name your character YGVYUWSW to have a character that is twice his normal size. Name him TRGSVPPW if you would rather quadruple his size.

Mona's Dance

After beating King Knight and Spectre Knight as Plague Knight, you will return to the lab to find Mona doing the tango alone. If you don't press any buttons and watch the dance to completion, you will get an achievement.

Name Passwords

Start a new file and name your file.

UnlockableHow to unlock
Pandemonium ChaliceCollect all 420 Cipher Coins and talk to Percy or Mona, depending on whether or not Mona is at the Lab.
Pandemonium CloakGive the Pandemonium Chalice to the Troupple King.

Recovering money from Mr. Hat

After paying off the characters inside the Armor Outpost's hat shop, you can chase Mr. Hat around the outpost to get your money back. Immediately after winning the battle inside the shop, go outside to find Mr. Hat standing on top of the shop's sign. Use the airship to get on the rooftops and jump over to him. He will give you 1,000 gold and run off. Return to the airship to find him again for another 1,000 gold before he jumps down a hole. After the two-way catapult on top of the airship is available, go there to find him again. He will pay you the final 1,000 gold before catapulting away.
