as far as the sword is, I guess people are stuck looking for it, so I'll go ahead and reveal the location (spoiler, I guess):
-try looking for a mismatched tile in the lowest right screen of the desert (there's a skull in the area, I believe), and try bombing there...
@schooching: that's the wrong area, lol (she's asking about the White sword)
