How to unlock the Bomb Jump Blitz (Plague Knight) achievement in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove - Definitive Guide

I tried this for about an hour and a half and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I used impact, standard and quick fuses. I made sure I didn't hit King Knight or his confetti. I just couldn't get it to pop.

The easiest, and cheesiest, way to do this achievement is to hold X while going into the fight, and after the first use, hit pause and hold X again. You won't throw any bombs out of the menu, and you don't have to worry about hitting KK or his confetti. After discovering this, I got the achievement on my second try.

for what its worth i just got this first try using the pause method. thanks

i had 5 health tonics used and even inadvertantly threw a few bombs that didnt find any target when there was no confetti.

No need to pause. Hold X as screen transitions so you don't throw a bomb, then when you do the bomb burst, immediately hold X and to charge it again and you won't throw a bomb.

The pause method is just the way to do it if you’re crap on timing it out.

After trying over and over and over I discovered (at least what I believe must be done because it wasn't popping any other way I tried) You must use the Basic Burst and no Health Upgrades at all aside from the permanent ones Mona gives you.

Since you have to bare bones this fight I would recommend waiting until you have every health upgrade from Mona before trying. Just attack King Knight with Basic Burst until defeated.

I had tonics equipped before entering the fight actually and it unlocked. I used the basic bomb burst and had the short fuse on my bombs so they blew up before King Knight had a chance to hit them.

Wtf so did I. I did it on Treasure Knight and King Knight and the achievement never unlocked until I did it without any health boost.

Is it possible a basic bomb hit him by accident during your previous fights? I found that even while trying to not hit with basic bombs it still didn't work on occasion.

Weird. I believe you since things have been pretty ridiculous on the unlock for Plague Knight so that's odd that you and I saw completely different things happen with it.
