Chapter 3 Items

Magic Wand          Like your other magic items, you must use this in the same way. Some of the rooms in Ghost Village have invisible ghosts that can only be seen after using the wand. You'll find this want in later Chapters as well.

Magic Ball          The whole reason you enter Ghost Village is to retrieve this Magic Ball for the Fortune Teller. You find this after defeating the boss and draining the pond in Ghost Village.

Sign          Ah, this can be your best friend or worst enemy. When this item is picked up, it'll spin and then give you extra lives, or take away extra lives. The result is somewhat random, but most of the time you will end up getting an extra life or two.

Scroll          The scroll you will get from the Mountain Hermit at the end of Chapter 3. It's words will awaken Banette.

Clock          This clock, like most items, will be found throughout the game. When collected, it'll either freeze all enemies in the room, or slow them down. But of course, this'll only last for a few moments.

Bola          The Bola is a great weapon! When thrown, it goes the length of the screen. It's good for hitting enemies at a far range.

Lantern          At one point in this chapter you'll encounter a room with no light-tile, so you'll have to use the Lantern. It is a magic item, so you can only use it in the same way as the others.

Coconut Milk          You can't actually collect this, but in villages and huts you may notice this jar beside people. Talk to those people and they will give you a drink of Coconut Milk that will refill all of your life right away!

Chapter 3 Weapons

Shooting Star          Given to you by the beautiful(*ahem*), Queen Shecola, this will upgrade your yo-yo to a mace, named the 'Shooting Star'. You can only use this when you have at least five heart containders filled, otherwise you'll be stuck with your yo-yo.

Slingshot          The slingshot goes further than your yo-yo, and it is more powerful. It can only be used a number of times.

Mirror          Mirrors can reflect the magic of the Dimhags, and other similar enemies in later chapters. You can only use the mirrors for a number of times, so use them wisely!
