This How to Enchant Your Shovel in Dig walkthrough goes over each step to enchanting your shovel, including the location of the Enchantment Altar. Make sure you stock up on coins in Dig! If you like this game, you might like Dig It – we’ve got a Dig It Shovels guide to help you get familiar.
How to Enchant Your Shovel in Dig
To start, if you want to enchant your shovel, you need Enchantment Totems. Already have some of these in your inventory? You may have noticed that the game tells you to use them at a ‘mysterious altar’, which then applies a random enchantment to a shovel of your choice.
Each time you enchant your shovel, the new enchantment overwrites the previous one.
Enchantment Altar Location
First off, open up your map and make sure the POI Headers toggle is on to display the names of locations on your map.
Look for the Fernhill Forest marker and zoom in to see a short road slightly to the right that goes into a mountain. This mountain is between Rooftop Woodlands and Fox Town. You can add a waypoint to your map if you wish to do so! The waypoint feature marks the direction you need to go in, too.
Once you reach the mountain and you’ve ventured inside, you can find an elevator. Speak with the Jim Diamond NPC and give them 1K in-game coins to activate the elevator. This then starts a timer, and you have to wait until it reaches 0 for the elevator to move down to Floor 1 of the Cinder Cavern.
Head forward through the mine until you spot some blue mushrooms. These blue mushrooms are an indicator of the path you need to follow. Keep searching for them and follow the path until you see giant blue mushrooms behind a pile of stone rubble.
Follow these giant mushrooms to enter the Azure Hollow. Here is where you can find the Enchantment Altar!
How to Get Enchantment Totems
As of right now, it seems like the only way to get Enchantment Totems is by getting lucky whilst digging with your shovel. As these are rare items, don’t expect to find them too often, but they’re not impossible to obtain overall. From what we know, it doesn’t matter where you dig or what surface you dig up.
