Tomba! Wiki

This page lists all the weapons found in the games. Some are required to progress in the story, like the Hammer which is needed to detonate the explosives in the Blast the Rock! event, while others aren't.

By default, all weapons are used by pressing the Circle button and can be charged by pressing the same button. The weaker weapons that are able to stun enemies can defeat them while charged up.

Boomerang[]

The Boomerang or Wooden Boomerang (ウッドブーメラン, Uddobūmeran, lit. Wood Boomerang) is the weakest version of all boomerangs found in the series and and can only stun most enemies while being uncharged, much like the Blackjack.

Like other all boomerangs, it has the ability to grab various items that are out of range; such as jewels, fruits and most notably the key piece in the Painting of a Big Key? event that can be found while riding the platform-elevator.

In the first game, it can be found in a hundred year old treasure chest above the cacti in the Forest of 100 Flowers once the Beginner's Dwarf Language event has been cleared. In the second game, it can be found lying on the net bridge leading to Waterfall of Heavens after clearing the Wind it Up! event.

Grapple[]

The Grapple (グルピン, Gurupin) allows Tomba to swing through areas that are lacking platforms by attaching the grapple into a ceiling, platform or object above him. It is useless against enemies, but can be attached to some flying enemies, like the flying Pigs in the Lava Caves.

It can be found outside the entrance to Lava Caves inside a treasure chest in the first game and in a Blue Treasure Chest in the Laughing Crying Forest after clearing Take the Grapple! in the second game.
