The first 15 waves consist of only Bounders and Hunters. In wave 16, the Shadow Lord makes his first appearance. More Shadow Lords are added each wave until there are only Shadow Lords in every wave. Surviving these waves consistently is the mark of a Joust wizard. Shadow Lords are fast, but they are very predictable. Always try to kill the Hunters before dealing with the Shadow Lords. Fortunately, Shadow Lords take a long time to energize, which gives you a chance to kill the Hunters. | The first 15 waves consist of only Bounders and Hunters.

Wave 37 is the first to consist solely of Shadow Lords. After that, only Egg waves and waves immediately after the Egg waves have Hunters. After wave 60, every wave is all Shadow Lords. All Shadow Lord waves are actually quite easy because they are so predictable. Again, strategy is determined by the middle ledge. Standing under the middle ledge is no longer advisable; it takes too long to wait for the Shadow Lords to drop down to the bottom. Instead, hover at the top of the screen, directly over the right energizing area. Most of the Lords will appear underneath you and fly straight up. The others will bounce along the top of the screen. You might have to move a little to adjust to their bounces. After they're all gone, quickly go around and collect all of the leftover eggs. | Wave 37 is the first to consist solely of Shadow Lords.

When the middle ledge is missing, hove directly above the bottom energizing area. Hover just high enough to allow the Shadow Lords to appear underneath you. Let them fly up into you and kill themselves. As soon as you see which way they are facing, move over in that direction to make sure they hit you. Always stay below the Shadow Lords on the side ledges. After all of them have come out, drop down to the bottom.

Always stay below the Shadow Lords on the side ledges. After all of them have come out, drop down to the bottom. When one of the remaining Shadow Lords drops down from the side, hover where the end of the middle ledge would be. He will drop right past you, then come up under you. | ||

It is possible to fly your mount through that gap even though it looks too narrow. | ||
Start out by flaying to the left over the lower level (to the right of the gap) with the bottom of your bird just skimming the surface of the ledge. If your knees are dragging on the ledge, you'll squeeze through the gap and appear below the ledge. Note that you can not walk through the gap, because your mount is too tall when its legs are extended. | Start out by flaying to the left over the lower level (to the right of the gap) with the bottom of your bird just skimming the surface of the ledge.

Eggs can fit through the gap also, if you throw one up from below. Either hit a buzzard just below the gap to throw an egg up through it, or bounce an egg off the center ledge into the gap. If you do this correctly, the egg will be impossible to pick up because it is under the overhang of the upper ledge; wait for the egg to hatch, and the man will stand up tall enough for you to reach him. | Eggs can fit through the gap also, if you throw one up from below.
