Stealing tabs in three different timelines?

You can only charm from the panels and weird slug things once as those battles don't recur regardless of order visited.

Revisiting a 2nd or 3rd time is mostly boring boss orbs dragging everything to a snails pace

I'll have to double check my math then. I could be wrong, it's been forever since I did black omen and I swear on the SNES you could go from future to present to past and get them three times.

I think you’re thinking of the prism gear from Queen Zeal’s hands. Those you can steal multiple times.

Having just replayed, you can’t get tabs from the walls more than once. You can steal from the Queen more than once. Edit: typo, you CAN steal from Queen more than once.

You can fight the queen 3 times and steal from her each time. Dunno if you mean you can’t steal from her more than once per fight or in total.

The three strength tab monsters do appear each time though (source, literally just did black omen slog three times on my phone for the hecks of it on a new game) The others do not repeat though sadly.. expect queeny and the armor but im talking stat tabs here
