Animal Orbs

From the Castle Crashers Wiki, the wiki for all things Castle Crashers

(Redirected from Animal Orb)

Players with Animal Orbs playing through the Full Moon Level

Animal Orbs provide various bonuses and enhancements. Once found, these helpers float next to the player and automatically provide a bonus. The Animal Ark houses all of the player's unlocked Animals Orbs. When you start a game as another character, all the Animal Orbs will remain unlocked. If you are simply hunting for Animal Orbs, you don't need to complete each level you find them in. Once you've touched them and unlocked them, you can simply exit to The Overworld instead of finishing off the entire level.
