Throughout this stage are frog enemies that periodically electrify themselves and hop around a lot. These frog enemies are sometimes buried in the ground and will not attack you unless you attack them first. Thus, it might be better to just jump over them and leave them alone. Also, another thing to note about the stage are green buds that bounce Shovel Knight into the air when pogo jumped onto.
If you hit them with your shovel once, they will float into the air for a few seconds, allowing you to reach higher ledges. Note that you can hit them twice to make them float even higher. Anyways, begin by going right and passing all the enemies and obstacles. Note that the blue ghost cannot be killed, but hitting it will make it "disappear" for a few seconds.
At the end, hit the green bud and pogo jump to the blocks to get to the next screen. There will be a lot of different breakable walls here, with two platters containing bombs. Try to stay on the top level and hit the wall in the top left, revealing a chest with some gems. Go right and pogo jump off the skeleton to reach the ladder, where you'll find some gems in the ground above and in a hidden wall on the left.
Head back down and continue right to find a normal skeleton and some big bones, which turns out to be a huge skeleton. This skeleton does two small hops, then a big one, which will stun Shovel Knight if he's on the ground when it lands. If you dodge the jumps, you can jump on top of it when it collapses, leaving you an easy target to defeat (it drops a chicken and lots of gold).
On the next screen, use the green bud to jump onto the platform and head right, where the screen will go dark. Periodically, lightning will flash and reveal the landscape. Go to the right and you'll see some frogs, as well as a ghost to the right of that and a skeleton on the ground. There are two platforms in the air with some dirt blocks underneath and the leftmost blocks lead to a breakable wall with a hidden gem.
In between the second platform and the next is a pit and there's another pit before the last ledge. The next room has a checkpoint and four skeletons walking in a small area; the platter has a bomb underneath it. The wall on the right side houses a chicken and a ladder that leads down to another room. You have to pogo jump across the tombstones to reach the ladder, where you'll find a chest at top; note the breakable wall has a skeleton hiding in it.
