If a Metal Arrow is shot using a Crossbow or Hou Yi's Bow, not only will it have Pitcher's Mitt-like properties as it flies through the air, but upon making contact with a wall, it will stick to it for a short time and allow the player to stand on top of it. If thrown at a body, it will instead bounce off of it opposite the direction it was originally sent from.Ī player demonstrating how a Metal Arrow can take them higher than normal when used with a Crossbow or Hou Yi's Bow.

Metal Arrows are a special variant of Stone Arrows that do not break, regardless of what they are thrown at. The Stars Challenge takes advantage of this quirk by giving the player a stone arrow and crossbow to help them complete the challenge. Stone arrows are lit by default if they're shot out of an Arrow Trap in a dark level, but they can also be lit if thrown or shot through a torch or other source of fire.

Vampires and Vlad will instantly die to an alight stone arrow. Unlike metal arrows, stone arrows can be set alight while they are traveling through the air, which increases their damage to 3 and allows them to ignite anything they hit. If a stone arrow is shot using an Arrow Trap, Crossbow, or Hou Yi's Bow, it will fly straight forward until it hits a body or a wall, identical to how it would be thrown by a player with a Pitcher's Mitt. This now-broken arrow can still be used to trigger other Arrow Traps, and to stun enemies for a brief period of time. Otherwise, hitting an enemy with a stone arrow will break the arrow, leaving behind only the hilt. When an arrow hits an enemy that leaves no corpse or stunned body, such as Bats, Spiders, or even Lizards at 2 HP or less, the arrow will continue flying forward. They can also be obtained if a player has 16 favor or more with Kali and offers a rock to an Altar. Stone Arrows are most commonly found inside of Arrow Traps in the Dwelling or Sunken City.
