Hint: Item Locations
Below are the names and locations of the nine items you must collect in the game in order to proceed.
Binoculars - Grab this item at the end of the Industrial Castle level, after slaying the boss.
Boomerang - Equip the Cardinal Animal Orb, and go to the Thief Forest. When you locate the owl pooping from a tree, the cardinal will find this item (so long as he’s with you).

Compass - Find to the left of the blacksmith.
Horn - After killing the Corn boss, one of the Peasants will give it to you.
Key Weapon - Equip the Cardinal Animal Orb, and go the Full Moon level. When you reach the mountain path, go up until you reach the second hut. Go near the hut and Cardinal will locate the item for you.
Spade - Head to the first desert level after you’ve complete the ship level. Leave the ship and find this item right in front of you on the left side of the sand castle.
Steering Wheel - At the end of the lava-colored level after defeating the dragons.
Treasure Map - You’ll receive this after defeating an opposing team during a mission at the sand castle in a game of volleyball.

* Purple - Octopus
* Magenta - Clown
* Turquoise - Zombie
* Light Orange - Cat
* White - Elephant
* Light Purple - Nose-Snail

Hint: Infinite Experience
Note: this trick works best with low level characters. In the Lava World area, there is a point where you need a sandwich to progress. If you don't have a sandwich, enemies will come and drop sandwiches when you defeat them. If you don't use the sandwich to progress, the enemies will keep on coming, allowing you to get as much experience as you want.

Re: Castle Crashers Cheats and Codes
Hint: Leveling-Up Tips
Low level - Go to Thieve's forest and kill the first few thieves until you see them start to run away. From there a big troll will come out and shoot out smaller ones, attack these guys and take out as many as you can and avoid hitting the bigger one. The longer he's out, the more little guys you get.
Mid level - When you are mid leveled (25-40) you will want to go to either Lava World, or Marsh. In Lava World follow the walkway until you get to a metal wall, the metal wall can only be broken when you use a sandwich so just keep storing up on those and killing some Fire Demons racking up quite a bit of xp. (note: they never stop coming up to the point where you break that wall. Keep it closed and you have yourself an endless amount of them coming your way.) In Marsh near the end there will be another troll with 2 Druidic Knights, continue the same as the first troll in Thieve's Forest.
High level - If you are over 40 you probably wont be going up to fast if you use the first two strategies. Instead you are going to want to go to the last level with the four closed off bosses. The painter is the easiest one to get xp. off of, he doesn't attack you until half his life bar is drained, take advantage and while hes painting use your strongest attacks on him, take as much life as you can before the horde of paintings attacks you.
