The Boomerang is a weapon in Castle Crushers that can be used for stunning enemies. For example, if they are out of reach and you cannot perform melee attacks, you can use the boomerang to stun your enemies and get close enough to hit them.

So, if the Necromancer is too hard for you to beat, you can use the boomerang. If trolls are attacking you, BOOMERANG!

It is very useful especially if you play on Insane difficulty. That said, the boomerang opens up many different attacking opportunities, but where can you find it?

Let’s take a look!

Where to Get Boomerang In Castle Crashers

Getting the Boomerang is one of those little early side-quests that will feel great the first time you figure it out.

You can’t buy it in shops, and you don’t just stumble over it by killing a random enemy either. Instead ,you actually trigger its discovery using a specific Animal Orb in the right level.

To get the Boomerang, you will need the Cardinal Animal Orb. It’s the little red bird that sniffs out hidden items for you.

You can obtain Cardinal by playing through Industrial Castle on your campaign run, usually from an enemy drop there once you’ve made some progress in that stage.

Once you’ve got Cardinal, go to the Thieves’ Forest level. Equip the Cardinal, then walk past the part with that owl and a nearby bush. The Cardinal will then automatically go behind the bush and pull out the Boomerang for you.

Your character picks it up and now it’s available in your inventory.

What the Boomerang Does

Once you’ve got it, you can use the Boomerang to stun enemies on hit. This should give you enough time to close in, juggle, or just survive in tight waves.

You can also use it to knock down doors and obstacles faster than swinging your sword, and it pulls in nearby items and pickups when you throw it out.

For a lot of players, equipping the Boomerang early, especially on harder difficulties, makes stages like Necromancer or giant troll waves way more manageable because a stun lets you interrupt enemy attacks and set up combos.
