I love Shovel, I have kept him alive since finding the little scamp. I don't re-load for companion deaths, but I'll redo an entire fight if Shovel perma-dies.

I am now well into Act II. He is alive and well, and together we will take the power of The Absolute for our own.

Thank you devs for making my favorite travel companion. I will always take him on future playthroughs. My only complaint is that he always says the same voiceline when talked to.

He appears to still think we're in the basement I found him in. This makes me sad, because Shovel is free.

I'd love it if more reactivity was added to him, and we could hear some of his thoughts on these wild events we are surviving through together. I am hopeful Larian will hear our call, I have provided feedback through the main launcher and after seeing them add the poo-scraper I believe they will respond.

Thanks,
FiscalBasilisk.

Wait...Shovel can die? You can just resummon him if he dies. I guess he goes back to the Abyss or something. I did like him trying to get you killed by the magic mirror for fun, very Demonic thing to do.

I do wish there was more content for him. I feel like Devils get all the cool stuff in this game, nice to have a little Demonic content...literally little in this case.

Shovel can be lost if you're silly and don't have Gale scribe the scroll permanently

Unfortunately Gale’s hand is in my pocket, and his body is gone but not forgotten…

I don’t have any wizards, so Shovel is a single cast. If he or my Durge die, Shovel cannot be resummoned.

Thus, I protect shovel with my life. I reloaded the Adamantine Forge fight SO MANY TIMES to keep him from dying to splash damage.

He doesn’t hit often, but when he does his enemies know fear. The little guy crit the inquisitor at the Gith crèche and killed it.

Next stop: Shovel vs. Ketheric

I have to admit, that I never used
Shovel
so far, I'm on my first playthrough with him and he is cute.

He’s just a little rascal! I can’t believe I completely missed him my first playthrough.

I missed him in tree years of EA - I often had the scroll in my pockets and never used it
