To avoid that darkness attack, you can deflect a piece of magic armor, you can go buy ones from stage 17 shop.
It'll break, but better it than you.

yes, the glitch that let you lock it in place with the chain sword but keep attacking with the magical edge was fixed a while back

I think there has not been a discussion on the jukebox or the music for the game. I personally love the one at stage 17, and also 19 . its hard to choose a favorite track but those really struck me lol. Not all of the music is in the jukebox though. There are some tracks missing, more specifically the ones at the shops and during some scenes, I believe the ending ones. It would be nice to know which track would correspond to which stages or shops as well.

To use the UFO, hold down space and use your arrows to move around. I'd buy the spirit sword, lots of large super speed drinks,  and possibly the magic armour plus. But I'm not really that into acquiring lots of weapons. When I find one that works and is nice to use, I tend to just stick with it. I was more into progressing in the game than trying out all the weapons. Doubt many would agree with this, but I personally think there are too many. Too much choice can be self-defeating. But then I'm a bit of a monomaniac so I would lean toward that idea anyway.

Thanks very much. I don't as of right now think too many choices is self-defeating. What I really love about this game is that it's such an advanced beast, and yes, it is, one hell of a beast, however the attractions are that it's completely free, and I don't know about all of you but I'd be willing to at least pay $50 for this thing if UI had to, and maybe more. Frankly I've had more fun with this game in the past month then any previously. There are other games that I play, but the replayability of BK 3 is astounding. Second of all, I know some sighted people who play games with what seem like hundreds of weapons, everything from really crappy guns and melee weapons to super heavy overpowered ones that will kill you in just a couple of seconds. Thanks for the suggestions, I think I'll get the spirit sword. BTW, feeling kinda stupid lol. As soon as I wrote that last post I thought, what if you press and hold space with the UFO, then use up and down arrows? Perfectly logical, accept obviously it wasn't.

@2,108: Since you are talking about favourite tracks, I can say I have quite a few:
For boss themes, I especially like 8-4 and 10-4, with that last one sounding like something from a 16 bit Final Fantasy game in it's orchestration and emphasis on the bass.
I also like the first battle theme when fighting against the bio-control system, which was also used in BK2.
For field themes, I don't really have a favourite one, except maybe the one in stage 10-1, which I like to call the nature's waltz since, whenever it's used in the trilogy, it's never in buildings, at least not that I remember.
I also like that the theme that plays when you get spoted in stage 21 sounds like it has been done with an old FM chip like a YM2151.
As for shop themes, my favourite is clearly the one that can be heard in stage 4, 6 and 18. A staple of the series, like many other shop themes.

Sorry for double post. But where can I find a piece of wall for the cat spear? And also I looked at the weapon adviser and it one of the weapons that i don't have is the water launcher. It says it can be buy in one of the shops. I But when i check the shops all i can see is a water plane launcher. Which shop it was sold?

Hi.
Can anyone tell me where can I get the huge iron to craft rocket launchers?
Thanks in advance

by the way, has anyone looked at their stats? the ones that you can generate on the very last level of the game on 25? the inventory is sadly not getting translated but all the combat stats are and boy... they are just really really funny. A few examples and some of them I did on purpose with the aero gear for example, to advance fast through levels:
Number of times your spacebar was simply mashed repeadtedly during gameplay.:209325
Number of times you tried your best, even while blocking attacks with your armour or shield, to avoid them at the same time by bouncing around like a madman:2
Number of times you tried your best, even while blocking attacks with your armour or shield, to avoid them at the same time by bouncing around like a madman, and collided with obstacles because you weren't paying attention:0
Number of times you mashed your enter key like a maniac:67721 oh yeah. tasty, tasty bread! yum yum yum!
Times you were annoyed with the navigation of your Skyracer and interrupted it with ESC:645

and so on and so on. I am surprised at how much and how incredible vast this game is... and all done by mostly a single person!!! ...  thank you thank you thank you!

Thanks for finding those funny... that was mostly my work!

1. yes. 2. sort of. but its intuitive anyway and they are not by e-mail, they are in the page you download them from. 3. yes. Using eloquence!
