"Broken Wings" is the third level of Serious Sam 3: BFE and Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE.

Plot

With the death of Professor Stein and the defeat of the Adult Arachnoid, Sam manages to get hold of Stein's research and uploads the data to headquarters. Stone has been informed that an extraction helicopter, piloted by Garret, is ready to pick him up, so he heads through the streets to find a suitable landing zone at the Mosque of Ibn Tulun so that he can escape the city.

Hieroglyphic tablets

There are no tablets in this level.

Graffiti

Many messages written in graffiti can be found throughout the level. Their theme appears to revolve around religion and Mental's forces invading Earth, which they are referred to as "devils".

1. Above the underpass where a Cloned Soldier is hiding behind cover. When translated, it reads: "Samofobia".
2. On the street outside where the players encounters the second Adult Arachnoid. When translated, it reads: "Repent, and you can still be saved".
3. Past the archway in the area with Cloned Soldiers around the left corner. When translated, it reads: "The devils from the space shall be abolished by our Lord".
4. Opposite secret #13 (14 in the Fusion version). When translated, it reads: "We didn't want other worlds. We don't want their devils".
5. In the yard on the way to the mosque where the player has to deal with Kleer Skeletons. When translated, it reads: "From a million men, the god singled him out".
6. Past the yard and hard to miss in big writing. When translated, it reads: "Those whom the Gods guide cannot get lost".
7. Just next to the entrance to the mosque where the Sirian Werebull miniboss is fought. When translated, it reads "No cover. All man". This is a reference to the game's tagline.
8. Next to the mosque's entrance. When translated, it reads: "The human race never accomplishes anything. It's what God commands that gets done".

Secrets

1. The first secret can be found on the sniper's perch (identified with many sandbags and Cloned Soldiers on it) nearby the starting area. To get to it, jump onto the nearby dumpster closest to the wall with sandbags, and then jump on the nearby utility box propped against the wall, and make another hop onto the top of the wall from the utility box. From there, jump over, or go around the sandbags to pick up the hidden shells.
2. In the yard after the sniper perch, there's a dumpster on the right. Jump on it and over the wall to find a Small Armor.
3. Before the overpass, the ruined building on the right can be climbed into. On the right hand side is some health.
4. Just after the overpass, on the left are a bunch of shells. If you turn around — concealed by a column supporting the overpass — you will note a pill bottle that counts as a secret and spawns a Kleer Skeleton.
5. Just after the overpass, on the road to the right there is a building on the right that is blocked off with planks. Break them with the sledgehammer and collect the electricity.
6. Before the popup Cloned Soldiers, after the first overpass and before passing under it a second time, in the building on the right is a small armor.
7. Under the overpass, continuing on past secret #4 and beyond a ruined car is an armor shard that counts as a secret and spawns a Kleer Skeleton. In the Serious Sam Fusion version of the game, the Kleer only spawns on Serious difficulty.
8. Beside the overpass, just after passing under the overpass a second time, turn right and in a little alley is a shotgun.
9. Beside the overpass, just after passing under the overpass a second time, jump on the garbage bin and over the wall. Once you reach the barrels on the other side the message "secret flanking performed!" shows up. This takes you around a small fight.
10. A building beside the overpass is blocked off with planks. Break them with the Sledgehammer and collect the armor and shells inside.
11. When Sam says "Don't have a party without me!", climb up the stairs until there's a break in the wall back towards the overpass. A Large Health pickup is hanging off it; jump across to pick it up.
12. Before the archway behind a barricade is some rockets that counts as a mini secret.
13. (Serious Sam Fusion only) at the concrete barricades with a dumpster next to it, there is a portion of the street blocked off. Jump on top of the barricades and sprint-jump over to find some electricity. Be warned that picking up the ammo will spawn an Adult Arachnoid.
14. In the courtyard with three broken columns, there is a stack of boxes. Jump on them then over the wall to collect an M29 Infantry Assault Rifle.
15. Before the mosque, along an alley just a bit before the mosque is a white wall with turned-over gray couch under a dark metal sign embedded in the wall. On the leftmost portion of the same wall past two chairs and mattress will be a drum (the cylindrical container), jump on it, and look directly through the small hole in the wall. There will be a small electrical box directly in sight; shoot it and it will unlock a secret door. Head to the nearby mosque entrance. Along the left side of the mosque wall prior to the stairs will be a large group of boxes. Break them to expose a ladder which leads to the end of the outer mosque area. Enter the door and you will receive a "secret speedrun found!" message.
16. At the outer mosque, around the second corner of the outer halls of the mosque is a stack of crates. Hidden among them is an armor shard.
17. At the inner part of the mosque, there's some scaffolding on the building in the center. Crawl under it and then to the top, then jump up to grab a small armor.

Trivia

• If the player is speedrunning, they can go out of bounds near the starting area. They need to follow the left-hand wall to find a place where they can climb onto the roof of the building.
• On Tourist difficulty, the player can quick-kill the boss using the sledgehammer.
