Surface[]

Meleeist is first encountered on the Surface near the hole leading into The Well after Shovel Knight dies the first time after completing the tutorial. When encountered, she directs Shovel Knight to the campsite. If Shovel Knight returns to the Surface before completing the tutorial, Meleeist will not be present nor anyone at the campsite.

At the campsite, Meleeist appears sitting on some rocks with Oreman around what will become the campfire trying to create a fire by hitting a rock against her sword but failing to create a spark and getting frustrated. When the campsite expands and some other characters start walking through and Chester arrives, Meleeist and Oreman can still be found around the campfire with Meleeist having started the campfire.

After Shovel Knight advances further, Meleeist can be encountered walking through the campsite and sitting at the campfire talking to other characters.

During the normal ending, like other characters, Meleeist appears on the Surface looking into the hole leading into The Well and appears scared when the ground starts shaking. When Shovel Knight and Shield Knight land on the ground, she jumps up happy. She also appears in Secret Fountain during the "Beaten by the Buzzer" cutscene segment.

The Well[]

Meleeist can be encountered in The Well where she can give Shovel Knight an accessory, Magic Upgrade, or a Glass Key. The rooms she appears in tend to have somewhat tricky platforming with very small platforms.

Surface[]

Hey, are you okay there? Are you gonna start spelunking for gold like the rest of us? We're all setting up camp, over yonder. Come and see!

- Meleeist when encountered at the hole leading into The Well after Shovel Knight dies the first time

Meleeist: Oh... c'mon, light already! It's almost there! I can do this, I'm sure of it.
Oreman: Y'need to bash that rock faster, lass. It takes airflow, so blow on it, like this! Pfffff! Give me a turn already!

- Discussion between Oreman and Meleeist when first accessing the campsite

Meleeist: There! I've done it! And no thanks to you, bossing me around like that. You couldn't light it, when you tried!
Oreman: Yeah, yeah... 'twould be nothing, if I'd've had my own proper tools.

- Discussion between Oreman and Meleeist when the campsite first expands

Mole Knight is a real natural swimmer, ain't he? He must be half-mole, half fish. Eheheh.

- When talked to when walking through the campsite

Meleeist: Do you suppose the Lich Yard is haunted? I'm so ready to banish some ghosts!
Caster: If you were to perish, I suppose I could resurrect you with Dark Magic.

- Discussion with Caster at the campfire

Meleeist: All right, raid review. First, I'll rush in with a barrage of melee attacks. Then, while I cool down-
Caster: I'll cast an advanced fireball, under the cover of the ensuing chaos.
Adventurer: Meanwhile, I'll use burst healing as needed. Ok, are we ready to give this a try?

- Dialogue between Meleeist, Caster, and brown Adventurer

Caster: I keep waking up after falling in battle with my accessories missing, which is a real pain. Those're what I need the most!
Duelist Di: I'm still working up the courage to descend into The Well. I'm not about to risk losing my life!
Meleeist: I got trapped by three Blorbs! Three at once! Next thing I knew, I was back at camp. Good thing I still had some of my gems.
Lamp Lighter: Oof... it's been a rough one. When I'm struggling, if I come back fresh the next day, I find I'm much more effective.

- Discussion between Caster, Duelist Di, Meleeist, and Lamp Lighter at the campfire

The Well[]

I'm over-encumbered! I can barely walk! Would you care to take my spare equipment?

- When talked to in The Well

Fare thee well, brave knight! May our paths cross again.

- When talked to after receiving an item
