Stakes

Stakes are interactive objects in the Turn-Undead series.

Appearance

Stakes are cylindrical and covered in dark brown wood with the end of the stake being light brown, pointed, and lacking bark.

Game information

Stakes appear in all levels and are fired by the vampire hunter. When a stake is fired, three turns are used with the first turn being the player firing the stake and the other two turns being the stake moving two places.

When a stake impacts and enemy, that enemy will die and the stake will disappear. If a stake makes contact with a wall, it will lodge into the wall and allow the player to use it as a platform. If a stake is hit by another stake, the first stake will be destroyed and the second will take its place. Stakes will break if they are shot at doors, metal blocks or indestructible enemies.
