    I am really stuck on the last level of worms special edition, can any one give me any pointers on how to complete?

      i am stuck of level 21 of campaign mode, any tips?

      • pete July 18, 2011 at 10:36 pm - Reply

        to finish level 21, you need to first create a bit of a funnel with the girders into the hole that the enemy is sitting in. once you’ve done that, use your super sheep and fly it across the screen up to the upper right corner near the bullseye. yes you can actually control the supersheep, it took me about 2 days to figure that out. once the sheep explodes near the bullseye, it will cause the mine to fly across, over the magnets, into the funnel you built and blow up the worm.

        still stuck on the last level, any help is appreciated.

    Any help with level 18?

    • Andy July 19, 2011 at 10:00 am - Reply

      to do level 18 all you have to do is fire punch the mine, it has a delayed explosion than normal and the magnet will repel it across towards the enemy worms…

      p.s. how do you rotate girders anyone?

        I have the same question, how do you rotate those girders in game?

  5. just July 21, 2011 at 11:53 am - Reply

    Ha, i got it use the left and right arrow keys only to direct the sheep, put a girder pointing down into the hole where the worm is. then hit the bullseye with the sheep!

    Level 30 anyone? Finding it impossible, I wondered if maybe the moon rotates the other way when you get over half way perhaps but can’t figure out how to do it with only a ninja rope and a drill.

  7. Andy July 24, 2011 at 5:18 pm - Reply

    Ok I know about level 30 now, you have to drop off the two ledges with the two 1 health worms, this will kill them but collect the toolboxes and destroy the sentry guns…

    Ninja rope either way until you manage to get to the middle, collect the box of Armageddon, then drill yourself down as much as possible, then use the weapon and you complete it.

    Yay!

    • Richard Fleming July 25, 2011 at 11:35 am - Reply

      Yeah I got as far as collecting the boxes and destroying the sentry guns. But you can only use the ninja rope once and you can’t point it downwards so have to shoot it at the satellite to the right of the moon, but no way can you reach into the middle. Impossible.

    Level 24 anyone? i just cant do it fast enough!

    • Harvey July 27, 2011 at 3:53 pm - Reply

      need help here too!!!! Am I not using the rope right or something??

  9. bacteria82 July 27, 2011 at 1:25 am - Reply

    Level 30
    How in the world to go to the box in the middle by using only 1 shot of ninja rope.. Arrggg I’m stuck

    • Mark July 27, 2011 at 5:49 am - Reply

      Me too! Arghh

  10. Squid July 28, 2011 at 2:59 pm - Reply

    Level 30 BEAT… not that hard but takes some work, use to the two low health worms to get the ninja rope and the jack hammer.
    to keep using the ninja rope you must be under something you can not land on, meaning if you use it to attach to a satellite and do not drop below the half way point on the moon, it wont let you use it again.
    so drop that worm below the satellite as far as the ninja rope will let you and work your way over to the center. May take a few times to get it right, but keep working on it! you will get it, then when you get the Armageddon weapon, make SURE you jack hammer down as far as the jack hammer will let you or the Armageddon weapon will kill you as well as all the other worms!

    good luck, email me if you have any questions!

    How can I pass campaign 31 (worms special edition) Help,please.lol.anyone?

    • shugenjutsu January 25, 2012 at 7:56 pm - Reply

      Ok, I was transfered to here through links while I was hoping to solve my problem which is “showing ******** when I type any thing in Worms SPECIAL EDITION” but I saw you request, let me try to take you out.

      Campaign 31 could be pain in… somewhere you could address by yourself, I tried quite a number of time but failed was the only result, I had a break after it, then I had a try, WON~ Easily and smoothly, here’s the method I have been using:

      Firstly when you get the air strike try to use it on one of the green oil can on the right hand side, in the middle of three worms, hopefully a satisfied result will get. Then in the next 2 turns of yours try to kill the top hat worms (I remember they wearing top hats…) placed with you in a same space WITHOUT heart yourself: Use Fire Punch, Dragon Ball, Ninja Rope to stand at right top corner gently through green coclour grenade…

      After these essential steps what I did after words to step to victory were carefully using ??? Torch to make way out/hiding, construction material to block dangerous pass/protect space above and be calm and think.

      Hope you are going to take down 31 soon. (Even you posted on 13/10/2011…)

    Good news! This problem is no longer in my vision at all! Even though I am not quite sure what exact happened.

    Could anybody where to go and how should I notice a bug in the bug? Because I found several spelling mistakes in help section and I want to repost such things…
