A: |Version Guide|
-------------
Version 1.0: Just finished making the walkthrough for the game,
and submitted it to GameFAQS (03/24/08)
-----------------------------------------
B: |The Story Of Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest|
-----------------------------------------
Taken straight from the game (not much of a story mind you):
"Prologue. Step into the shadows of the hell house. You've
arrived back here at Transylvania on business. To destroy
forever the curse of the even Count, Dracula."
------------------------------------
C: |What Is Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest|
------------------------------------
Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest is the sequel of the original
Castlevania game. It's actually a pretty fun game full of
adventure. However this game is quite different than the other
early Castlevania games, and that is because it has some RPG
elements thrown in. It also has some back and forth traveling
between towns and mansions, because you must collect all of
Dracula's parts just so you can finally defeat him in his own
territory at Castlevania. Can you do it?!
----------------------
D: |About This Walkthrough|
----------------------
Several times throughout the walkthrough I will probably repeat
myself. A few times would possibly be necessary, such as a Boss
guide, as well as a few other things. Sometimes I do this without
even realizing it, and sometimes I do it to make it easier for
people to find what they are looking for on this walkthrough. This
guide, like others, is described on how I played/beat the game.
You have your methods as do I. This is just my way of doing it. I
hope this helps out in anyways possible.
---------------------
E: |Control Configuration|
---------------------
These are the basic controls for the game:
START BUTTON: Brings up Status Screen/Pauses game
SELECT BUTTON: Pauses game
LEFT & RIGHT D-PAD: Moves left or right
UP D-PAD: Climbs up stairs
DOWN D-PAD: Crouches/Walks down stairs
'B' BUTTON: Allows you to use whips
'A' BUTTON: Allows you to jump
UP D-PAD & 'B' BUTTON: Allows you to use Secondary Weapons
-------------
F: |Status Screen|
-------------
This is glance at the Status Screen (when you press the START
Button :P) and some info about it:
As you can see there are four sections to the Status Screen. The
top screen has your basic status which is broken down like this:
1. T (Time) - This shows how much gameplay time you've put into
the game.
2. E (Experience) - This shows how -------------------
much experience you've gained | T - 12:01 |
from defeating monsters, though | E - 0000 L - 00 |
overtime you won't get any which | H - 0050 |
makes getting experience tricky. |-------------------|
| L. WHIP |
3. L (Level) - This shows what |-------------------|
you're current level is. Of | |
course, the higher the level the | |
stronger you are. Once you gain |-------------------|
enough experience, you will level | |
up (but your experience will | |
reset back to 0). The highest | |
level is Level 6. -------------------
4. H (Heart) - This shows how many Hearts you have. You can use
these as ammo for some of your secondary weapons, or as
currency so you can buy stuff.
The second section shows you what your current whip you have is,
as well as what Important Item you have. Those items are: Leather
Whip, Thorn Whip, Chain Whip, Morning Star, Flame Whip, Silk Bag
and Magic Cross.
The third section shows you what Game Story Items you have. Those
items are: Dracula's Rib, Dracula's Heart, Dracula's Eyeball,
Dracula's Nail, Dracula's Ring, White Crystal, Red Crystal and
Blue Crystal (when you get a new Crystal, it will replace the old
one).
The fourth section shows you what Secondary Weapons you have.
Dagger, Silver Knife, Golden Knife, Holy Water, Diamond, Sacred
Flame, Oak Stage, Laurels and Garlic.

SECTION 2: |WALKTHROUGH|
-----------
----------------------
A: |Before The Walkthrough|
----------------------
1. Throughout the game, every few minutes or so, you will get a
message saying "What a horrible night to have a curse". If you
don't know what this means, FOR SHAME ON YOU ^_^!! But
seriously it means that day will become night and the monsters
will be twice as strong. Not only that, villagers will go into
their homes and Hag Witches will come out. Now after a few
minutes of nighttime, it will become daytime. When that
happens, 1 full Game Day has passed. Keep this in mind as it
will unlock one of three endings to the game (explained at the
end of this walkthrough). Time will stop when you go into the
mansions.
2. Speaking of day/night, I won't tell you when nighttime or
daytime happens, so just be ready for them when they do happen.
If you are in a town and it's nightfall, all the doors will be
closed up but the doors leading to the mansions will still be
opened.
3. When leveling up, there really is no tip because getting
experience is not easy as you play through the latter portions
of the game. As you progress, most monsters will not give you
experience as they once did. Pace yourself with leveling up
however, or the rest of the game won't be much of a
challenge ^_^.
4. And of course, what walkthroughs (made by me) wouldn't be
complete without maps right ^_^? The maps I made will only
show how to get from one mansion to the next (or the starting
point to the first mansion). These maps will coincide with the
walkthrough shown below each of them. This is done so it will
make it easier for you to navigate through the game. I will
also put a link to each of the mansion maps I have made.

LEGEND:
[01] = Starting Point/Town Of Jova
[06] = Town Of Veros
[10] = Castle 1: Berkeley Mansion
SCREEN 01:
Here we go, the start of the game! You start off at the highest
point of the Town Of Jova.
T O W N O F J O V A :
ITEMS: Holy Water, White Crystal, Thorn Whip
Welcome to your first town, Town Of Jova. From where you
start off at, head right all the way to the otherside.
Please note the door with the cross that you passed up. It's
a Church, and it will refill your life. At the otherside,
head down the stairs, and you'll see a Cloaked Man coming
towards you. He'll offer you a White Crystal for 50 Hearts,
and since you have 50 Hearts, go ahead and snatch it from
him ^_^. Head down the stairs below him and at the bottom
floor, head right leading to SCREEN 02. Don't get too comfy
though, just kill a few enemies and head back to town.
Repeat this until you get 150 Hearts, then back into town.
This time head up the stairs to where the Cloaked Man is, to
find a door. Enter it and you'll see another Cloaked Man who
will offer you Holy Water for 50 Hearts, which you will
take. Now head outside this room, and walk left to the
ledge. Jump left to a lower ledge and head left to a door.
Enter it to find another Cloaked Man who will offer you the
Thorn Whip for 100 Hearts. Also talk to everyone for
valuable info, including about a sacred flame. Now you're
ready to move on!
Now that you are done with this town, head to the right
entrance of town, leading to SCREEN 02.
SCREEN 02:
From where you start off here, head right taking out any of the
Blue Wolfman and Blue Skeletons that may be in your way. Also
keep your Holy Water equipped because you can use it on
monsters that are on a lower level than you. After you get
through all of this, head through the rightside which will take
you to SCREEN 03.
SCREEN 03:
On this screen, head right, killing the Blue Skeletons and jump
to the upper floor. A Red Sea Creature will jump out of the
water, so be ready! After that, jump over the several opened
gaps until you reach the otherside. This may be tricky for
beginners because of the Red Sea Creatures jumping out of the
water and shooting fireballs, but persistance pays off ^_^. At
the otherside, take out the Blue Skeleton and follow the path
through the right entryway leading to SCREEN 04.
SCREEN 04:
For this screen, you can do this one of two ways: the upper
path and the lower path. Either way won't matter because you'll
end up at the same place. If you take the upper path, climb up
the platform stairs and take the upper path to the otherside
taking out any Blue Skeletons. If you take the lower path, use
your Holy Water to take out the lower platform (of the stairs)
and head right, jumping over the pink acid lake and taking out
the Blue Skeletons. Once past this, climb up the staircase then
at the upper path head right. Either way you take, head right
and keep going through the right entryway. This will take you
to SCREEN 05.
SCREEN 05:
Right away you will see some Blue Skeletons, and a staircase
leading downwards. Go down the staircase (don't worry about
going right, I'll get to that later) and at the bottom, just
head right with no worries as there are no enemies down here.
Before going through the right entryway, make sure you have
atleast 200 Hearts. If you don't, go back and get some. If you
do, proceed onwards through the right entryway, taking you
to SCREEN 06.
SCREEN 06:
As you start this screen, you will notice you're in a town.
This one is called Town Of Veros.
T O W N O F V E R O S :
ITEMS: Chain Whip, Dagger
In this short town, jump over the small gap and enter the
door you see. In here, you see well nothing but an empty
room. So what's the point of being in here? Well head over
to the right wall and use your Holy Water on it to reveal a
secret passage. Enter it and you will see a Cloaked Man who
will sell you the Dagger for 50 Hearts. Go ahead and buy
this so you will have another weapon at your disposal. Now
head back out of these rooms and into town. Jump over the
gap and keep going right. There's a Church in the middle if
you need to refill your life. After that, keep going right,
talking to all of the villagers who will give you info on
various things including Laurels.
Once you finally make it to the otherside, head up the short
staircase and into the doorway. In here is another empty
room, but this time, stand at the fourth block and use your
Holy Water on the floor to reveal another secret passage.
Make your way down the platforms and then down the stairs,
where you will see another Cloaked Man. This one will offer
you the Chain Whip for 150 Hearts, which you will gladly
take. With those purchases made, head back outside of these
rooms back to the town. Now we are ready to move on!
Now that you are done with this town, head to the right
entrance of town, leading to SCREEN 07.
SCREEN 07:
As you begin this screen, you will see a Red Eyeball coming
down and some Gray Skeletons ahead of you. Carefully take out
the Red Eyeball first, then the Gray Skeletons as you jump from
platform to platform above the pink acid lake. Make it to the
otherside of this, then climb the short staircase, and make
your way to the long platform above where you are. When you do,
climb up the staircase and two Red Eyeballs will come out. At
the top of that staircase, climb up the next one and then at
the top of that (Red Eyeball in the way), head left and follow
the path taking out the Red Eyeball until you reach the left
entryway. Go through it and you will then be at SCREEN 08.
SCREEN 08:
For this screen, head left taking out the Gray Skeleton and
Spider then continue onwards. Simply head left to the
otherside, avoiding the Spiders and taking out the Gray
Skeletons. Once you make it to the otherside, head through the
left entryway leading to SCREEN 09.
SCREEN 09:
Once entering here, you have two choices: the upper path or the
lower path. It's probably easy to take the upper path, so by
doing so, head up the stairs (taking out any Gray Skeletons),
and then just continue going left. As you do, more Gray
Skeletons as well as Flying Bats, so make sure you get around
all of this. Once you do, head to the left edge, use a Holy
Water on the lower Gray Skeleton, and then head for the ground
level. Keep going left after this, taking out the remaining
Gray Skeletons and then go through the left entryway, which
will take you to SCREEN 10.
SCREEN 10:
Upon entering here, you will see a door in the middle. Now get
your White Crystal equipped and if you're at Level 2, you're
good to go. Now enter the door and get ready because you're
entering Castle 1!

C. |Castle 1: Berkeley Mansion|
--------------------------
ITEMS FOUND: Oak Stake, Clue #1, Clue #2, Clue #3, Dracula's Rib
ITEMS REQUIRED: White Crystal (equip)
LEVEL REQUIRED: Level 2
LINK TO MAP:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/nes/file/587179/38432
S E C T I O N 1 - 1 :
Here we go, the first castle! Now remember how I said you
should equip the White Crystal first? Well as you see, there's
a moving platform that will appear when you equip it. With
that, get on it and jump onto the lone platform at the top. Use
your Dagger to take out the Blue Lance Knight. Get onto the
flooring and continue going right (taking out the Blue Skeleton
Solider) and you will find two staircases (one going up and one
going down). Take the one going up and climb it. Once at the
top, head left and you will see some Blue Gels and Green
Gargoyles. Take these out if you want and make it to the
otherside. When you do, there will be a Blue Skeleton Solider
on an upper platform. Take it out and make your way up these
platforms to the top (where another one and a Blue Lance Knight
is waiting). Now up here, you can either go up the staircase or
go right, it really don't matter which way you go, so let's
just go right.
Along here are some Blue Gels, so be ready (and at top is some
Blue Skeleton Soliders). Make your way right and you will see
some spike pits. Jump over them and continue going right until
you get to the wall (use the Dagger to take out anything in
your way). Use the Holy Water on the wall to reveal a book.
This is Clue #1 and it will say "A symbol of evil will appear
when you strike the stake". Worry about the meaning later,
right now head left all the way to that staircase from earlier.
When you get to it, climb up it and head right, taking out the
Blue Skeleton Soliders along the way. Now here's the catch, at
the end of this long platform, it would appear you could jump
over to the next one easily. Well you're wrong, because the
edge of the next one is fake, so you have to jump over the
first two blocks. When you do, continue going right until you
reach the entryway. Go through that and you will be
in SECTION 1-2.
S E C T I O N 1 - 2 :
Upon entering here, head right and you will see some Blue Bone
Tossers, so use your Dagger on them. After that, simply make it
all the way to the otherside and drop down to the lower level,
then once down there, head down the down staircase you see.
Down here, head left and continue taking out the Blue Skeleton
Soliders. At the otherside, you should see a staircase going
upwards. Take it and continue going left, jumping across the
spike pits. You will then see a Cloaked Man who will offer you
Oak Stakes for 50 Hearts, so take the offer. Now jump left
again and use the Holy Water on the wall, which will reveal a
book which is Clue #2. This one will say "Destroy the curse and
you'll rule Brahm's Mansion". Of course in this walkthrough, I
spelled it as "Braham", but who cares, not me! Anyways, with
that, go back right, jumping over the spike pits and to that
staircase you used.
Climb down it, then the staircase below that and go right until
you reach the wall. A Blue Gel will be here, so take it out and
use Holy Water on the wall, to reveal another book which is
Clue #3. This one says "A flame flickers inside the ring of
fire". Boy, this line sounds familiar O_o. Anyways back to the
staircase, and now take the lower one leading down (I know I
forgot to put that on my map, my bad!). Down here is a Blue
Bone Tosser, so be ready. Now head right but be careful as part
of the floor is fake. Which part, well count the blocks in the
floor. The tenth and eleventh blocks are fake. If you fall
through them, you will have to make your way back to the start
of this mess (look at my map to get back to here). Jump over
these blocks and then continue going right, taking out the Blue
Skeleton Soliders.
Now climb up the staircase and keep going right and you will
see an orb of flashing light. Equip your Oak Stake and use it
on the orb, which will cause the room to shake and a flashing
bag to appear. You will now prossess Dracula's Rib (Prossess,
has Konami ever heard of a dictionary before?!). Anyways with
that, we can now get out of here! Head left, over the edge and
to the fake blocks and drop through them (it's safe). Now
carefully jump over to the lone left lower block then over to
the flooring. There are Blue Lance Knights and Green Gargoyles
here, so be ready. After that, just continue going left along
this until you reach the otherside. Once you do, go through the
left entryway and you will be back in SECTION 1-1.
S E C T I O N 1 - 1 : (REVISITED)
Once back here, head left, taking out the Blue Skeleton
Soliders and Green Gargoyles until you reach a staircase. Climb
up it and then head left at the top of it. Take out the extra
Blue Skeleton Soliders and then the Blue Lance Knight. After
that, jump to the lower platform, then to the next lower
platform and drop through the crack between blocks. You will
notice that you're back at the start of this castle, so head
left and you will have completed Castle 1!

LEGEND:
[06] = Town Of Veros
[10] = Castle 1: Berkeley Mansion
[12] = ITEM: Sacred Flame
[16] = Town Of Aljiba
[17] = ITEM: Silver Knife (use Garlic)
[20] = Castle 2: Rover Mansion
SCREEN 10:
You should now be outside of Castle 1, pat yourself on the
back. With that out of the way, you can move onto Castle 2, but
first, there are some things that needs to be done. For
starters, let's head through the right entryway, which will
lead to SCREEN 09.
SCREEN 09:
In here again, simply head right killing the Gray Skeletons and
Flying Bats. Once you make it to a platform staircase, head up
them and continue going right taking out the Gray Skeletons.
Continue going right until you get to the entryway. Go through
it and you will be back at SCREEN 08.
SCREEN 08:
Like before, just head right, getting past the Spiders and Gray
Skeletons. Once at the otherside, head through the right
entryway leading back to SCREEN 07.
SCREEN 07:
Once you are here again, simply head right, taking out any Red
Eyeballs in your way. At the otherside, ignore the staircase
and go through the right entryway, taking you to SCREEN 11.
SCREEN 12:
In this new screen, Flying Bats and Red Eyeballs will come out
to greet you, so quickly take them out. After this, simply walk
right and down the platform stairs. Now don't leave the screen
just yet. As you are on the bottom floor, use your Holy Water
to take out the lower platform. You can now proceed left, so do
so and go all the way to the otherside. More Flying Bats and
Red Eyeballs will come out to play so be ready. At the
otherside, use your Holy Water on the two blocks next to the
wall and you will notice a flame just flaming away. Get that
and you will now possess the Sacred Flame (do they realize that
it's spelled "possess"?). Anyways, this is another Secondary
Weapon which will be of great use, and will only cost 1 Heart
to use. Now with that, head right to where you destroyed the
platform. Go right past this through the right entryway, which
will take you to SCREEN 13.
SCREEN 13:
In here you will see Gray Skeletons and Spiders, so equip your
Sacred Flame to give it a good test run. Make your way across
this bridge like structure and then continue onwards to the
otherside (more Gray Skeletons). Go through the right entryway
and it will take you to SCREEN 14.
SCREEN 14:
Get ready as a Gray Skeleton will come at you right away. After
that will be a staircase going down, but ignore that for the
time being. Instead head right, taking out any Gray Skeletons
along the way. Now go through the right entryway which will
take you to SCREEN 15.
SCREEN 15:
Spiders and Gray Skeletons are in here, so just make your way
to the otherside like before (nothing too fancy here). When you
do, go through the right entryway again, which will take you
to SCREEN 16.
SCREEN 16:
As you start this screen, you will notice you're in a town.
This one is called Town Of Aljiba.
T O W N O F A L J I B A :
ITEMS: Garlic, Laurels, Blue Crystal
Here we are with another town. Jump over the gap and go into
the door. Looks like no one's home here, or that's what they
want us to think. Equip your Holy Water and use it on the
floor to reveal a secret passage. With that, make your way
downwards until you see a Cloaked Man. What does he have to
offer you now, well, how about some Garlic for 50 Hearts?
Seeing as you shuold have that much, go ahead and buy some.
Who knows what use they'll have. Now head back out to the
town and jump over the right gap. Go right and into the next
door, where it will appear that this one is empty too. But
we can fix that by using Holy Water on the floor revealing
another secret passage.
With that out of the way, head down to the lowest part of
this room and you will see an opening to the right. Go
through it to find an old woman, who tells you that
"Dracula's eyeball reflects the curse". All the work just to
hear a clue, it has to be important, but how. Anyways make
your way back out to the town and continue going right. At
the otherside, jump over the gaps and climb up the staircase
and enter the door you see and find another empty room. What
is this with empty places and secret passages? Oh well, like
before, use Holy Water on the floor and head down to the
lowest level, and then through the right opening.
Inside is a Cloaked Man who will now offer you Laurels for
50 Hearts. I'd say go for it if you don't have any. Back out
to the town, head up the nearby staircase and at the top,
follow the pathway left all the way until you reach a Gray
man. Talk to him and he will offer you the Blue Crystal for
your White Crystal. What a trade! Now head back right to the
staircase, and go down it. Then go down the other staircase
and ignore the right entryway for now, as it would lead to a
dead end of sorts. So instead head left to the otherside of
town until you reach the left entryway. Now we are ready to
move on!
Now that you are done with this town, head through the right
entrance of town, leading to SCREEN 17.
SCREEN 17:
Upon entering here, you will see some Purple Soul Grabbers. Go
up to the first one and equip your Garlic and use it (UP & 'B'
BUTTON) and an orange Cloaked Man will appear. Go up to him and
talk to him and he will offer you the Silver Knife and for you
to use it save your neck! These are a bit more powerful than
Daggers, but they will cost 1 Heart per use. Now with that, if
you go right, you will see you can't go any further, so go back
left to SCREEN 16.
SCREEN 16:
Upon entering here, you have returned to the Town Of Aljiba.
T O W N O F A L J I B A (REIVISTED):
ITEMS: None
Guess what, there's nothing you need to do here, so just
make it to the otherside of town.
Now that you are done with this town, head through the left
entrance of town, leading to SCREEN 15.
SCREEN 15:
Just like before, Gray Skeletons and Spiders are here, so just
make it to the otherside and go through the left entryway,
taking you to SCREEN 14.
SCREEN 14:
In here, like before, is Gray Skeletons. Take out any in your
way and make it to the staircase. Go down the staircase all the
way and once you reach the bottom, head right and through the
right entryway. This will take you to SCREEN 18.
SCREEN 18:
For this one will be more Gray Skeletons and some Red Eyeballs,
so get ready to take them out. To get through here, simply go
right until you reach a staircase. Just past that is a lone
block which you need to get on and then the upper platform just
past that (trust me, this way is much easier). Take out any
Gray Skeletons you see, and at the otherside drop down to the
main level and head through the right entryway, which will take
you to SCREEN 19.
SCREEN 19:
Okay you will now see a large body of water. So like WTF are we
suppose to do now? Well, equip your Blue Crystal and crouch
down and hold it for a few seconds (toilet humor perhaps?) and
the screen will then scroll down revealing a hidden cavern.
Keep in mind, you must do this each time or else if you jump
into the water you will die. Now climb downwards until you
reach the staircase. Don't bother with going down the stairs,
instead drop off the rightside of the stairs and then continue
going right. Go into the right entryway and you will then be
at SCREEN 20.
SCREEN 20:
Upon entering here, you will see a door in the middle. Make
sure you're at Level 3, as a safe place to be for stats. Now
enter the door and get ready because you're entering Castle 2!

E: |Castle 2: Rover Mansion|

ITEMS FOUND: Dracula's Heart, Clue #1, Clue #2, Oak Stake
ITEMS REQUIRED: None
LEVEL REQUIRED: Level 3
LINK TO MAP:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/nes/file/587179/38476
S E C T I O N 2 - 1 :
Welcome to the Rover Mansion, and it's tougher than the first
castle. Right away you will be greeted by a Blue Lance Knight
and a Blue Bone Tosser. You will also see a staircase, which
you need to climb up. At the top is another Blue Bone Tosser,
so take it out. Now head right all the way to the edge and up
the platform staircase you see. After that, jump down to the
lower right platform, and the from there, jump down to the
island platform between the two gaps. Now that you're on here,
jump over to the right wall. Don't worry it's safe, because
it's a fake wall, and you will land safely on the small
flooring it's connected to. Now jump over to the right and head
through the entryway, leading to the next section.
Incidentally, there is alot more to SECTION 2-1, including
Small Bats and Blue Gargoyles, but it's not necessary to go
through, so explore on your own, I'm moving on to SECTION 2-2.
S E C T I O N 2 - 2 :
Upon entering here, you will instantly see a couple Blue Bone
Tossers, so use your Dagger to take them out. After that, jump
over the few gaps you see. Once past that, head over to the
staircase and ignore it for now, and head past it. You will
come to an upper long platform over a long gap. Jump up to it
but be careful because a moving block will push back and forth,
and if you're caught in it, it will push you into the gap
below. Get past that and jump to the lower pathway on the
otherside. A Blue Bone Tosser will be here as well as spike
gaps. Also here is an Cloaked Man, which will offer you Oak
Stakes for 50 Hearts. Now that you got that, jump back over to
the long platform and then jump on the moving block and onto
the shorter platform above it. Once there, jump to the upper
platform on the right. Now head to the lower platform on the
right. Here's the deal with this, there are some fake floors
here. How can you tell, well see where the gate is in the
background. The floor underneath each of the gates along here
is fake, so jump over them.
Now equip the Holy Water and use it on the right wall. Doing so
will reveal a book which holds Clue #1, and it says "Destroy
the curse with Dracula's Heart". After that, head left and make
your way to the moving block area, then left to the staircase
from earlier. Once there, climb up the staircase and take out
the Blue Bone Tosser. Climb up the next staircase, and then the
staircase after that, taking out any Blue Bone Tossers in your
way. Once you make it up the staircases, head right down the
platforms until you reach the next staircase. Now climb up it
and head left a bit. Notice how the upper areas has some
platforms sticking out, well climb up them. This will be a very
tricky climb because you have to stand at a certain spot to
make it up them, or else you'll fall to the flooring below.
Once you carefully make your way this area and at the top head
right. You will come across some Blue Bone Tossers and Blue
Lance Knight along the way, so take them out. Make it past the
staircase and to the right wall.
Once there, use your Holy Water on it and doing so will reveal
another book which has Clue #2 in it. The clue says "Garlic in
the graveyard summons a stranger". I wonder if this has
anything to do with that graveyard next to the Town Of Aljiba
O_o. Anyways, after this, head to the staircase and go down it
and at the bottom, head left until you reach the opening in the
floor. From there, drop down all the way and once you reach the
bottom, head right. Jump up the platforms and you will see an
orb. Equip your Oak Stake and strike the orb with it. Again the
room will shake an bag will appear, so get it and you will
prossess Dracula's Heart! Well, two pieces down, three to go!
With that, head left and make it back up to the previous
staircase. Climb it, head left to the otherside and drop down
and you will land right next to the lower part of a staircase.
Head left across the platforms then down the staircase, then
the one after that. Go right from there and down the next
staircase. Head left, and jump over the several gaps (watch out
for the Blue Bone Tossers) and head through the left entryway,
which will take you back to SECTION 2-1.
S E C T I O N 2 - 1 : (REVISITED)
Once you are back here, head left and jump over the gap then
jump to the upper island then jump to the lower floor on the
left. After that, continue going left, taking out the Blue Bone
Tossers and the Blue Lance Knight. Now go through the left
entryway and you will have completed Castle 2!

LEGEND:
[01] = Town Of Jova
[10] = Castle 1: Berkeley Mansion
[16] = Town Of Aljiba
[20] = Castle 2: Rover Mansion
[22] = Ferry Crossing (Equip Dracula's Heart to go to [23])
[24] = Castle 3: Braham Mansion
SCREEN 20:
You should now be outside of Castle 2, but don't celebrate too
much, you still got along way to go! With that out of the way,
you can move onto Castle 3, but first, there are some things
that needs to be done. For starters, let's head through the
left entryway, which will lead to SCREEN 19.
SCREEN 19:
In here, head left and make your way across the two platforms
to the staircase. At the staircase, climb up it and make your
way up the platforms until you are above the water. Now head
through the left entryway, taking you to SCREEN 18.
SCREEN 18:
Once here, this might be tricky. As you enter this screen you
will see a moving platform ahead of you. Time your moves
carefully, and use that platform to get to the otherside. When
you do, you will see another one, so repeat the process. After
that, continue going left along the lower level until you reach
the otherside, taking out the Red Eyeballs and Gray Skeletons
that may be in your way. Now go through the left entryway,
which will take you to SCREEN 14.
SCREEN 14:
In here, head left climbing up the platforms until you reach
the staircase. Now climb up it and take out the Gray Skeletons
at the top. So now which way do we go? Well, I say let's go
through the left entryway. Doing so will take you to SCREEN 13.
SCREEN 13:
A Gray Skeleton and Spider will greet you here, so get ready to
take them out. After that, simply head left until you reach the
otherside. Go into the left entryway, taking you to SCREEN 12.
SCREEN 12:
In here, climb up the platforms and follow the upper path to
the otherside, taking out the Flying Bats and Red Eyeballs.
Once at the otherside, head through the left entryway, taking
you to SCREEN 07.
SCREEN 07:
For this screen, just stay along the upper path that you are
on, as there is no need to go down the stairs. Red Eyeballs
will be in your again, so take any out and head through the
left entryway leading to SCREEN 08.
SCREEN 08:
In here, like before, head left to the otherside, taking out
Gray Skeletons and Spiders. Go through the left entryway
leading to SCREEN 09.
SCREEN 09:
In here, head up the staircase in front of you, and continue
going left taking out the Gray Skeletons and Flying Bats. At
the otherside, equip your Holy Water and take out the Gray
Skeletons then drop down the platforms and keep going left.
Again head through the left entryway, leading to SCREEN 10.
SCREEN 10:
Here you will be at the entrance of Castle 1, but you don't
need to go here, so just continue going through the left
entryway. You will then be at SCREEN 11.
SCREEN 11:
Although you've been on all the other screens (up to this
point) so many times, this is the first time you will be on
this one, even though it's in the same area roughly ^_^. You
have Blue Skeletons on this screen, so once again (this is
getting rather old) head left until you reach the otherside.
Over here, a Red Sea Creature will jump out onto the brown
platform, so use your Silver Knife to take it out from a
distance. Now hop over the water pits and to the left entryway.
Go through it and you will be at SCREEN 05.
SCREEN 05:
Once you are here, equip your Holy Water and use it on the Blue
Skeletons and jump over the pink acid lake. Continue going
left, past the staircase and through the left entryway, which
will take you to SCREEN 04.
SCREEN 04:
Right away a Blue Skeleton will see you so quickly take it out.
Now jump to the upper path and take out the other Blue
Skeleton. Continue along this upper path until you reach the
otherside, taking out anymore Blue Skeletons. Now go down the
platforms and through the left entryway leading to SCREEN 03.
SCREEN 03:
In here, you need to make your way across this screen to the
otherside like normal. Be careful though as there are several
small gaps you must jump as well as Red Sea Creatures and Blue
Skeletons being in your way. Equip your Silver Knife as it will
become very helpful through this screen. Once you have
carefully made it to the otherside, head through the left
entryway and you will be at SCREEN 02.
SCREEN 02:
Easy enough on this screen, head right, taking out the Blue
Skeletons, and eventually taking out the Blue Wolfmens. After
that, head through the left entryway, which will take you
to SCREEN 01.
SCREEN 01:
Upon entering here, you have returned to the Town Of Jova.
T O W N O F J O V A (REVISITED):
ITEMS: None
Nothing really to do here, except that if you wanna refill
your life, head to the Church on the top level (going up the
staircases you see right away). After that though, on the
main level, head left to the otherside, jumping over gaps,
and go to the left side of town.
Now that you are done with this town, head through the left
entrance of town, leading to SCREEN 21.
SCREEN 21:
Okay now we are in some new areas! Time to build up some
experience too! Right away you should see some Purple
Lizardmens coming at you. Use your Silver Knife on them as it
will be your best defense here. After that, continue onwards
and you will see a Blue Fast Cat speeding by. With that,
continue left and you will come to a pink acid lake. If you
have a Laurel, now would be a great time to use it. You'll be
able to cross here without taking damage. Be careful as there
is some Blue Slime Creatures here and a Leech at the otherside
so take them out. At the otherside, go through the left
entryway, which will take you to SCREEN 22.
SCREEN 22:
In here is some Red Lizardmens, so take them out (it's probably
best to get up to Level 4) and continue onwards. After a bit
you should come to a lake, with a Cloaked Man on a boat. Okay
so what's this crazy person doing here?! Worry about that
later? Either way, equip Dracula's Heart (gross much?) and talk
to him. He will tell you that he will "show you the way", and
will take you on a little trip, and as you are traveling with
him, Red Sea Creatures will come out, so be ready because you
can fall in the water if you're not careful. With that, you
will travel through the left entrway, leading to SCREEN 23.
SCREEN 23:
As you're entering this screen, you will hear a strange sound.
I suppose this means you're going the right way, so that means
there must be a second way you could go?! We'll get to that
later though. This screen however starts off the same way, Red
Sea Creatures jumping up. Soon as you get to the docking point,
jump off and continue onwards going left. Red Lizardmens will
greet you once again, so take them out. Continue going left
through the entryway and you will be at SCREEN 24.
SCREEN 24:
Upon entering here, you will see a door in the middle. Make
sure you're at Level 4, as a safe place to be for stats. Now
enter the door and get ready because you're entering Castle 3!

S E C T I O N 3 - 1 :
Okay here we go, the third castle! From the starting point,
head right, jumping over the spike pits until you reach the
otherside. Once you do, climb up the stairs and take out the
Purple Lance Knight. After that, climb the staircase behind it
and take out the Purple Skeleton Solider at the top. Climb the
next staircase and another Purple Lance Knight will be up
there, so take it out as well. Up here you will see you have
two choices, going left, or going up. Don't go up because there
is nothing up there, so instead head left. Purple Gels will be
greeting you here, so take them out if you want and continue
going left until you reach the otherside. At the otherside,
climb up the staircase and take out the Purple Skeleton
Solider, then climb up the next staircase (so many staircases,
so little time!).
At the top is another Purple Skeleton Solider, so take it out
and this time go right and follow the path to the otherside.</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
When you get there, you will see another staircase (shocking)
and a Cloaked Man on the otherside of the wall. You'll get to
him soon enough, but now climb the stairs. At the top of this
staircase, there will be a few more Purple Skeleton Soliders,
so take them out and climb the short staircase leading up. Up
here a Purple Gargoyle and a Purple Lance Knight is waiting,
so take them out quickly. Now you can either go left or right
at this point, but you're gonna go right. Do so and at the
otherside, go through the entryway which will take you
to SECTION 3-2.
S E C T I O N 3 - 2 :
Upon entering here, there will be two Purple Gargoyles starting
to attack, so use either your Holy Water or drop down and
attack them. Either way take them out and head down the
staircase at the bottom. Down here is a Purple Lance Knight, so
be careful taking it out as there are also spike pits here.
After taking it out, jump over the spike pits until you reach
the wall (don't worry, I haven't forgot about the entryway).
See the little opening, well drop down into that and use your
Holy Water on the rightside. Doing so will reveal a book which
is Clue #1. This clue will say "Wait for a soul with a Red
Crystal on Deborah Cliff". Where is that at, well I guess that
will be our next mission ^_^. Now jump back across the spike
pits and go through the left entryway, which will take you back
to SECTION 3-1.
S E C T I O N 3 - 1 : (REVISITED)
Upon entering here, you will see a Purple Lance Knight on a
lower platform, so use your Holy Water on it to take it out.
Now make your way to the Cloaked Man (the one from before), and
talk to him. He will offer you some Oak Stakes for 50 Hearts,
which I'm sure you have that many, so go ahead and jump on his
offer. After doing that, drop down just to the right of him and
you will probably land on a Purple Lance Knight (oops!), but no
worries unless you don't have much life left O_o. Take that one
out, and go down the staircase. Down here will be a Purple
Skeleton Solider and another staircase. Go down it to find a
Purple Gel and ANOTHER staircase. Go down those staircase to
find another Purple Gel and an entryway to the right. Go
through it and you will be at SECTION 3-3.
S E C T I O N 3 - 3 :
This is a very short section, which contains some Vampire Bats.
Simply take them out and head through the right entryway which
will take you to SECTION 3-4.
S E C T I O N 3 - 4 :
Well check it out, it looks like we finally get to fight Death.
Get ready for the first boss fight in the game (took it long
enough)!
BOSS #1: GRIM REPEAR
ITEM REQUIRED: Chain Whip & Sacred Flame
ITEM RECEIVED: Golden Knife
Here is how the fight will setup, Grim Repear will float
around at a medium pace, throwing out his psycthes at you
(doing little damage). These will take 2 hits with your
Chain Whip. So what should you do? Well use a Laurel first
(if you have any) so that you are given a little protection.
Now equip your Sacred Flame and get him to stay in the
middle part of the floor. With him there, use your Sacred
Flame on him, which will do some decent damage to him (about
3 or 4 hits). While he's being attacked by the flame, use
your Chain Whip on him to do double damage. This is a great
combo attack to take him down. After about 7 or 8 rounds of
this he will fall.
After the fight, you will be rewarded with the Golden Knife,
which is a very powerful Secondary Weapon, but will take 2
Hearts per use. Now, go through the right entryway which will
take you SECTION 3-5.
S E C T I O N 3 - 5 :
In here you will see an orb on the otherside of the room. Go
over, climb up to it and equip you your Oak Stake and strike
the orb. Again the room will shake an bag will appear, so get
it and you will posess, I mean "prossess" Dracula's Eyeball!
Okay now it's getting really gross. Now head back through the
left entryway leading back to SECTION 3-4.
S E C T I O N 3 - 4 : (REVISITED)
In here, you will see the Grim Repear again, but you don't have
to fight him if you don't want to, so just head through the
left entryway, leading back to SECTION 3-3.
S E C T I O N 3 - 3 : (REVISITED)
Back in the small little room with the Vampire Bats. Take them
out if you want, and head through the left entryway, leading
back to SECTION 3-1.
S E C T I O N 3 - 1 : (REVISITED)
Here we go again with the staircases, woo and hoo. Anyways,
head over to the staircase (take out the Purple Gel) and climb
up it. Continue going upwards the staircases, taking out any
enemies in the way. Once you get to the highest point, take out
the Purple Lance Knight. Now head over to the lowest right
platform and get on it. Now this will be kinda tricky, you need
to jump over to the higher platform, then to the next higher
platform. Turn around, use a Golden Knife on the Purple Lance
Knight then jump on that platform and head to the staircase. Go
through the right entryway, taking you to SECTION 3-2.
S E C T I O N 3 - 2 : (REVISITED)
Upon entering here again, you will be greeted by a Purple Lance
Knight, so take it out fast. After that, climb up the long
staircase to the top. Up here is a couple Purple Gargoyles, so
be quick about taking them out (use your Golden Knife). Now,
head to the leftside, up the platforms and through the left
entryway, taking you back to SECTION 3-1.
S E C T I O N 3 - 1 : (REVISITED)
Once again, you will be greeted by a Purple Lance Knight, so
take it out and continue going left until you reach the
staircase. Now you can go down it, but instead head left all
the way to the otherside. While you're doing this, equip the
Dracula's Eyeball. Now at the otherside, drop down and then
walk left a bit more, and you will see a book within the
blocks. Now to get to it, stand right on the fourth block from
the edge, jump up and throw your Holy Water to the left. This
should hit the top block, giving you access to the book. Doing
so, and you will see Clue #2, which says "Place the Laurels in
a silk bag to bring them to life". Okay, moving on! Take out
the Purple Skeleton Solider and then drop down to the lowest
level.
Once down here, head down the staircase, take out the next
Purple Skeleton Solider and then head down the next staircase
(or drop down over the leftside). Down here, head right and
follow the pathway all the way to the otherside, taking out the
Purple Lance Knight, and then head down the staircase, take out
the Purple Skeleton Solider then climb down the next staircase.
Down here is a Purple Lance Knight, so take it out and go down
the staircase. Now head left, and jump over all the spike pits
until you reach the otherside. You will probably see an upper
pathway that you could get to, but don't worry about that as
there is nothing up there. Now go through the left entryway and
you will have completed Castle 3!

[34] = Clue Book (Equip Dracula's Eyeball), Warp to [35] (Equip
Red Crystal and kneel down)
[35] = Castle 4: Bodley Mansion
SCREEN 24:
You should now be outside of Castle 3, and the journey is
roughly halfway over! With that out of the way, you can move
onto Castle 4, but first, there are some things that needs to
be done. For starters, let's head through the left entryway,
which will lead to SCREEN 25.
SCREEN 25:
For this screen, head left until you get to the lake. Now this
next part will be pretty tough. You see the moving blocks, well
you need to jump from block to block. Now the tricky part is
that if you don't jump off one block at the right time, you
will end up falling into the lake (and you'll have to start all
over). So what's the right time? Watch the blocks, stand close
to the edge and at the moment it hits the highest point, then
you can jump successfully to the next block. Now this will take
a long time to get across, so do be extra careful. Once you get
to the otherside, head left and then go through the left
entryway, leading to SCREEN 26.
SCREEN 26:
In this screen, you get to see several new enemies (hooray?).
Starting off will be a Red Mummy and Speeding Eagles. Take out
the Red Mummy, and then continue going left. Next will be some
Glowing Ghosts floating towards you, so take it out. Continue
onwards, jumping over the gaps and you will then come across
Floating Medusas and a Fire Plant. It's probably best to use a
Golden Knife on the Fire Plant, then continue onwards to the
otherside, which is a dead end. Also here is a an orange
Cloaked Man who will give you the Diamond. This is a handy
Secondary Weapon that can hit anything in it's path, that will
cost 1 Heart per use. Now with that, turn around and head
right, taking out all the enemies in your way. Once at the
otherside, head through the right entryway, taking you back
to SCREEN 25.
SCREEN 25:
Just like you did before, head right to the lake then carefully
make your way across the blocks to the otherside. Once you do,
continue going right and then through the right entryway,
taking you to SCREEN 24.
SCREEN 24:
When entering here, you have no reason to go back into the
castle, so continue going right through the right entryway
leading to SCREEN 23.
SCREEN 23:
Once you're here, take out the Red Lizardmens and head right
until you reach the Cloaked Man on the ferry. Talk to him and
he will tell you that he will take you to a good place, with a
evil laughter in his voice. Wonder what he's planning!? Well,
for now he'll just take you across the lake and through the
right entryway leading to SCREEN 22.
SCREEN 22:
Now once you enter this screen, travel on the ferry until you
hit dry land. Jump off, and then head right a bit (taking out
the Red Lizardmen), and then turn back around and the Cloaked
Man will be there. Now make sure you de-equip your Dracula's
Heart and talk to him again. Again he will take you to a good
place (this is getting a little creepy). But this time when you
travel through the left entryway, you'll be taken to SCREEN 27.
SCREEN 27:
Now as a reminder, on SCREEN 22, equip the Dracula's Heart if
you wanna go to SCREEN 23, but de-equip it if you want to go to
SCREEN 27. Now with that out of the way, jump off the ferry
when it hits land and continue going left, taking out the two
Red Lizardmen, and go through the left entryway. Doing so will
take you to SCREEN 28.
SCREEN 28:
As you start this screen, you will notice you're in a town.
This one is called Town Of Alba.
T O W N O F A L B A :
ITEMS: Garlic, Laurels, Red Crystal
We are now in the Town Of Alba, so what shall we do first?
Well head left across the gaps and you should see a man in
Gray on an upper platform. Go up there and talk to him and
he will trade you your Blue Crystal for the Red Crystal. Now
head right a bit and jump to the upper platform and continue
going right, which you'll find a door. Go in it and you'll
see the return of the empty rooms! Equip your Holy Water and
use it on the right wall to reveal a hidden passage which
going through that, you'll see a Cloaked Man who will offer
you Laurels for 50 Hearts. Buy some if you want, then after
that, head back to town. Now head up the nearby staircase
and then up the next staircase. Up on this highest level is
a Church so you can refill your life. Much further down the
left pathway is another door, which when you go inside,
you'll see it's empty as well (no shocker). Use your Holy
Water on the floor this time to find a hidden passage.
Make your way down here all the way to the bottom level.
Once there, go through the right entryway and you will see
another Cloaked Man who will offer you some Garlic for 50
Hearts. Do you take it or not? I'm thinking you should! Now,
head back to town, and once you do, head right all the way
to the staircase and go down it and then the next one. Now
head all the way left (pant pant), getting various clues
including something about hitting your head on Deborah Cliff
(ummm okay?) as well as other useful stuff. At the otherside
head down the staircase then down the next staircase until
you reach the bottom level. Now we are ready to move on!
Now that you are done with this town, head through the left
entrance of town, leading to SCREEN 29.
SCREEN 29:
When entering here, you will be greeted by Blue Hopping Slimes
and going left some more, you'll see some Skeleton Snakes, so
be careful when taking them out. Continuing on and you'll see a
Green Skeleton, so take it out and go through the left
entryway, taking you to SCREEN 30.
SCREEN 30:
Upon entering here, you will be greeted by a Green Skeleton and
a Green Stalker, so take them out. You will now be presented
with a choice: go left or down the stairs. Let's go down the
stairs for now. Go down them and make your way down and on the
platform, jump over the left edge and you will land safely on
the platform below. Now if you dropped down, you will have
fallen through the invisible platform (don't worry, nothing bad
will come of it). Now with that, head left drop down to the
lower platform, jump over the middle (invisible platform
dropping you to the pink acid lake) and continue going through
the left entryway, taking you to SCREEN 31.
SCREEN 31:
Upon entering here will be some Green Soul Snatchers, so take
them out, and continue going left. You will then come across
Skeleton Snakes and Green Skeletons, so take them out and
continue going left. Soon Blue Hopping Slimes and more Green
Soul Snatchers will join the party, so take them all out. Keep
going and you will come across another dead end. Okay so now
what do we do? Well equip your Garlic and use it at the dead
end and a green Cloaked Man will appear (he must love
garlic?). Talk to him and he will give you the Silk Bag, which
you can use to hold more Laurels! Now with that, head back
right, taking out all of the enemies and go through the right
entryway taking you back to SCREEN 30.
SCREEN 30:
Upon returning here, use one of your Laurels (if not you should
still be okay unless you have little life), and jump into the
pink acid lake and cross it. At the otherside, continue going
right until you reach the staircase and climb up it. Continue
climbing up the stairs until reach above ground. Once you get
there, head left taking out any Green Stalkers and Green
Skeletons along the way. Once you make it to the otherside, go
through the left entryway which will take you to SCREEN 32.
SCREEN 32:
Upon entering here, you will be greeted by some Blue Hopping
Slimes, so be careful taking them out. Afterwards, continue
going left taking out more of them and then head to the left
entryway. Now make sure you have atleast 250 Hearts, because
you will need each one of them. When you do have that much, go
through the left entryway, taking you to SCREEN 33.
SCREEN 33:
As you start this screen, you will notice you're in a town.
This one is called Town Of Ondol.
T O W N O F O N D O L :
ITEMS: Laurels, Morning Star
You are now in the next town, which is the Town Of Ondol. So
what shall we do here, well head up the staircase in front
of you and enter the door you see. In here is, well you
guessed it, an empty room. So bust out the Holy Water and
use it on the right wall and go through the hidden passage
to find, another empty room O_o. Okay so that's two empty
rooms, now what, well, third times the charm so bust out the
right wall of this room and go through that hidden passage.
You will finally find the Cloaked Man who will offer you
some Laurels for 50 Hearts (all this for that?!). Get them,
and then head back to town.
Once back outside, head up the nearby staircase and at the
top of that, follow the path left and keep going until you
reach a door. Enter the door to find a big hole in the floor
O_o. Go through the hole and continue going downwards all
the way. Once at the bottom, head through the right passage
and you will see a Cloaked Man who will offer you the
Morning Star for 200 Hearts. Obviously you should have this
much Hearts, so go ahead and buy it (finally a new whip!).
With that, head back out into town. Now head left to the
otherside and head down the staircase, then the next one and
head left. Now we are ready to move on!
Now that you are done with this town, head through the left
entrance of town, leading to SCREEN 34.
SCREEN 34:
Upon entering here, Glowing Ghosts will come to you, so take
them out and then keep going left. You will then encounter some
Red Mummies, but they should be easy now. Continue going left
until you reach the lake, which has some moving platforms.
Remember how to do this from before? If not, jump from block to
block when they reach the highest peak. Make your way across
these three blocks carefully. After that, continue going right
and you will come to a dead end? Equip the Dracula's Eyeball
and you will see a Clue Book appearing. Go to it and it will
say "Dracula's Nail may solve the evil mystery". Well how do we
find Dracula's Nail then? Well, here's a start on that mystery,
jump up to the left wall and equip your Red Crystal and kneel
down and after a few seconds of this a tornado will come out.
It will take you to SCREEN 35.
SCREEN 35:
Hope you didn't get air sick, because it looks like that
tornado took you right outside of the next castle we're going
in. Make sure you're at Level 5 for this one, and when you are,
enter the door and get ready for Castle 4!

S E C T I O N 4 - 1 :
Here we go, the fourth castle! Upon entering you will see a Red
Lance Knight, so take it out an continue going right where you
will see a Red Skeleton Solider. Now here's the deal, ahead of
you is a wall but if you jump into the lower part of it, you
will see that it's an fake wall. Obviously this would be a
shortcut to the treasure, but we're not gonna go that way.
Instead climb up the staircase and take out the next Red
Skeleton Solider then climb up the next staircase after that.
Another Red Skeleton Solider and a staircase, follows that, so
head through this. Now you will see two Blue Gels, but more
importantly, walk four blocks from the stairs to the left, then
jump to the next staircase as there is a fake floor in between.
After that, climb up the staircase to find more Red Skeleton
Soliders (sounds like a trend is happening).
Now you could go left where you will find some Falling Rocks
and another Red Skeleton Solider, but it's a dead end, so just
go right instead. Do so, and jump up the blocks and walk a few
steps right and you will see a lone platform with a spike pit
under it. Make it across here (wouldn't want to fall into the
pit now) and you will see you can either go up or down (both
with a Red Skeleton Solider). Well going down leads to a dead
end, no fun there, so I guess we take the upper path. Except
the upper path looks like it's a dead end as well. Don't worry,
I purposely led you here because at the wall, jump up to the
right to find a fake wall, which going through it will take you
to SECTION 4-2.
S E C T I O N 4 - 2 :
Upon entering here, you will see Red Skeleton Soliders all
around, so take out the one you see, head right and drop down,
take the other ones out, head left and drop down take some more
out, then continue going right until you come to another wall.
Right now you're probably trying to walk through it, which you
can't. So instead use you're Holy Water to take out some of the
blocks (this sure sounds familiar), and then you can continue
on. Do so, jumping over the small spike pit and there will be
more Red Skeleton Soliders and Red Lance Knights. Take them out
and you will see two staircases. For now, climb the staircase
going up (take out the Red Lance Knight), and head left a bit
and drop down to that smaller platform sticking out.
Now face the blocks, use the Holy Water to reveal a book which
has Clue #1. It says, and I quote, "The curse has killed the
Laurel Tree". Nothing you can do for now, so just head back to
the staircases and then take the one going down. As you make
your way downwards, you'll see a Red Lance Knight and a Red
Bone Tosser, so take them out. So now we're down here with what
looks like another dead end, and you're probably mad about
this. But wait, jump into the left wall to reveal a fake wall.
Of course by going into it, you will be going into what could
very well be your doom! Only kidding, it's just a dark section
^_^. Follow the pathway left and you will see an orange Cloaked
Man who will offer you Oak Stakes for 50 Hearts, which I'm sure
you have, so go ahead and buy some.
After that, continue going left and you will drop through a
fake floor and land on another flooring. You will see a Red
Skeleton Solider so take it out if you want, but head left and
drop down to the lowest flooring and then head right, taking
out more Red Skeleton Soliders and soon you will be in a room
with an Orb. Break out your Oak Stake and use it on the Orb to
uncover Dracula's Nail, which you will now prossess (why is it
still called "prossess"?). Anyways, after this, turn around and
head left until you reach the staircase (taking out whatever is
in your way), and climb up the second staircase. At the top is
some more Red Skeleton Soliders and another shorter staircase,
which you will climb. Now jump up the blocks and go through the
left entryway which will take you back to SECTION 4-1.
S E C T I O N 4 - 1 : (REVISITED)
Remember that shortcut, and well there's two ways to get
through: tough or easy. Let's go easy, head to the staircase
(that I forgot to put on my map, my bad!) and climb up it and
head left taking out the Red Skeleton Soliders. On the
otherside, simply drop down and head left to the wall. Now if
you are curious about the tough way, if you got on the lower
platform (from the staircase), you would have to use your Holy
Water to take out the upper platforms ahead of you, and jump
across the lower platforms. And with spikes there, not worth
it! Anyways at the wall, jump through it to go through the fake
wall and then continue going left. You will see the Red
Skeleton Solider and Red Lance Knight from the start of this
castle, so just take them out and continue going left. Now go
through the left entryway and you will have completed Castle 4!

---------------------------------------------------
LEGEND:
[35] = Castle 4: Bodley Mansion
[38] = ITEM: Flame Whip (Morning Star needed)
[41] = Castle 5: Laruba Mansion
SCREEN 35:
You should now be outside of Castle 4, and the long road is
getting ever so close to finishing! With that out of the way,
you can move onto Castle 5, but first, there are some things
that needs to be done. For starters, let's head through the
left entryway, which will lead to SCREEN 36.
SCREEN 36:
On this screen is a whole lot of nothing, which is good after a
long journey. Make your way to the left entryway and go through
it, taking you to SCREEN 37.
SCREEN 37:
For this screen, you will see a lake in front of you. No, I
didn't lead you the wrong way. Instead equip the Red Crystal
and bow down to the water (for it is your master!). You will
notice the screen will then lower revealing a passageway
underneath. Make your way down here and once you make it to the
staircase, make sure you drop over the left side. After that
continue going left until you reach solid ground. Continue on
by going through the left entryway which will take you
to SCREEN 38.
SCREEN 38:
Now this screen is a little crazy. You'll probably notice as
you play through this screen that it's rather big. But you
don't have to go through the entire screen just get through it.
Infact all you need is to stay on the lower half. That's why I
drew a map to help you through (what a complete shock huh lol):

From where you are, head to the Black Skeleton and take it out,
and head up the blocks. You will then come to a wall, so equip
your Holy Water and take out the wall. Continue left to the
edge and Floating Skulls will come out (use your Golden Knife
on them). Carefully jump across the gaps, because this will be
tricky. Once you made it past the gaps, and onto the solid
platform, turn around and drop down the rightside and you'll
land on a moving platform. On there, face the left wall and use
the Holy Water on it. Now go left and you'll see a Cloaked Man.
Talk to him and he will upgrade your Morning Star into the
Flame Whip (the strongest whip in the game). Now jump across
the moving platforms then at the otherside, go up the blocks,
go left, take out the wall, cross the gaps and you'll be on the
solid platform again. Now continue going left, drop down a bit,
climb up the lone blocks, take out the Black Skeleton, drop
down the leftside. Now there is more to this screen, but it's
not necessary to explore. Now go through left entryway taking
you to SCREEN 39 (phew!).
SCREEN 39:
Upon entering this screen, Floating Skull and Fire Creature so
take these out and continue left. Soon you will come to the
moving block situation like before. Carefully jump across these
blocks and at the otherside is another Floating Skull and Fire
Creature. Take these out continue going left defeating more of
them. Go through the left entryway leading to SCREEN 40.
SCREEN 40:
Upon entering here, use one of your Laurels (if you don't have
one, you're kinda screwed) and go through the pink acid lake.
After crossing the first one (which has a Leech in it), you
will have to cross a second one (which has an Orange Slime
Creature as well as Leeches in it). This is a long one, so
hopefully you'll have another Laurel on you. After getting
through this, jump out of the lake and go through the left
entryway, taking you to SCREEN 41.
SCREEN 41:
Right now you will be outside of another castle. I know, we
just got finished with one five screens ago, but here we go
with another one! If you're still at Level 5, that's good. Now
enter the door and get ready for Castle 5!

K: |Castle 5: Laruba Mansion|
------------------------
ITEMS FOUND: Dracula's Ring, Oak Stake, Laurels
ITEMS REQUIRED: None
LEVEL REQUIRED: Level 5
LINK TO MAP:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/nes/file/587179/38490
S E C T I O N 5 - 1 :
Upon entering this castle, you will be greeted by two Gray
Skeleton Soliders, so take them out and continue going right.
Continue going right and you will come across a Gray Lance
Knight and a Gray Bone Tosser. Take these out and head to the
staircase (there is a Gray Skeleton Solider here as well). Be
careful as you climb up the staircase as there will be a Gray
Lance Knight up here (I'm beginning to see a color theme here).
At the top, go left and make it to the otherside (another Gray
Lance Knight), and climb up the short staircase. From up here,
take out any Gray Skeleton Soliders you see, and jump to the
upper platform on the right.
This time you don't have to climb the staircase (GASP!) but
instead you must go right and follow the pathway to the
otherside, climbing up the short walls, taking out any Gray
Skeleton Soliders along the way. Continue going right and you
will see a staircase, which you will pass this one up as well.
Instead go right up the platforms then down the platforms on
the otherside (watch out for that nasty Gray Bone Tosser in the
way!). Once you made it to the otherside, go through the right
entryway which will take you to SECTION 5-2.
S E C T I O N 5 - 2 :
In here you will be greeted by a Gray Skeleton Solider on the
lower platform, so use your Holy Water or Diamond on it. After
that, well, it looks like we have a decision to make (such as
life), do we go up or do we go down? I'd say let's go up, and
with that, stand on the platform where it was, then jump to the
upper platform on the right. Once there, climb up the staircase
(why are there spikes here, it's not really much of an
obsticle?!) and take out the Gray Skeleton Solider at the top.
Now jump up the platforms to the right, and take out the other
Gray Skeleton Solider. Now keep going right, across the small
spike pit and you will see a Cloaked Man (they seem to pop up
all over the place). Talk to him and he will offer you an Oak
Stake for 50 Hearts, which you obviously have, so go ahead and
pay him. With that, climb up the nearby staircase, and at the
top continue going right until you reach the edge.
Drop off the right edge and you will see a Gray Bone Tosser.
Take it out if you can, then head right a bit and drop over the
right edge of that (I know my map says you'll land in a spike
pit, but that's not true, I must adjust that). Down here will
be a couple more Gray Bone Tossers, so use your Golden Knife on
them. Jump over the spike pit and then drop down the left side,
then go right and drop down the right side. Be careful as there
are Gray Bone Tossers and Gray Lance Knights down here (I'd use
the Golden Knife in this case). Now head left and drop down the
leftside and you will land on a small landing. Now from here,
get to the edge and JUMP (not drop) to the right over the lower
wall you see. If you drop, well, it's gonna be a long journey
back to this point. After jumping over the right side, drop
down to the Gray Lance Knight and take it out (shouldn't be
hard as it's only two hits). Now just make your way to the
lowest portion of this area. Head through the right entryway,
which will take you to SECTION 5-3.
S E C T I O N 5 - 3 :
What do you know, another boss fight is ahead of us, and it
looks like some weird face mask one eye thingy. Oh well, get
ready for the second boss fight in the game!
BOSS #2: FLOATING MASK
ITEM REQUIRED: Flame Whip & Golden Knife
ITEM RECEIVED: Magic Cross
Okay this fight might be a bit tougher than the last. What
we got here is this mask creature that will float around in
a circular formation, covering most of the room. When it
stops however, it will shoot down fireballs which will
disperse and shooting 5 of them in an archway formation.
These are its only attacks. So what should you do, well make
sure you have some Laurels, and use them to get a bit of
protection. For defeating it, get to just to the left of the
center and make sure it's at the lowest point. Using the
Flame Whip/Golden Knife combo will work perfectly here, but
you have to jump up at it to hit it. After about 4 or 5
rounds of this, it will be defeated!
After the fight, you will be rewarded with the Magic Cross,
which is a weapon you can't use quite yet (but you will soon
enough!). Now, go through the right entryway which will take
you SECTION 5-4.
S E C T I O N 5 - 4 :
Upon entering this room, you will see the seizure-ific Orb once
again, so equip your Oak Stake and use it on the Orb. Again the
room will start to shake and you will be presented with a
seizure-ific bag which has Dracula's Ring it. So let's see, you
have the Bone, Heart, Eyeball, Nail and Ring. I know, let's see
what we can get for that on Ebay! No no, instead we must use
them for something bigger. With that, leave through the left
entrway, leading back to SECTION 5-3.
S E C T I O N 5 - 3 : (REVISITED)
In here, you will see the Floating Mask again, but you don't
have to fight it if you don't want to, so just head through the
left entryway, leading back to SECTION 5-2.
S E C T I O N 5 - 2 : (REVISITED)
Once you get back here, jump up the short wall, and head left
until you reach the long spike pit (try to avoid the White
Spiders web attacks). Once here, a moving platform will come
your way, so jump on it, and use it (and the next one) to get
to the otherside. Be careful as spikes will shoot up from the
spike pit. Now jump up the short wall to find another Cloaked
Man, who is just begging you to take his Laurels (free stuff,
who are we to argue right?). Now head back across the long
spike pit like before and head right until you reach the small
platforms leading upwards. Take out the Gray Lance Knight and
keep climbing upwards. Now you will probably notice you can't
climb any further, so instead jump over to the left side
(you'll know what I'm talking about).
Now continue going left along here, taking out the White
Spiders until you make it to the otherside. Now this might be
tricky, in which case if you mess up, you'll have to start over
by going across the long spike pit and up the platforms (just
look at my map). What you need to do is jump up the small
platforms (leading left) taking out the Gray Skeleton Soliders.
Once you get to the second one, take it out, and jump to the
upper platforms on the right, taking out the Gray Bone Tosser.
Once there, jump to the upper platforms on the left, where
there is a Gray Skeleton Solider. Take it out and head through
the left entryway you see, which takes you back to SECTION 5-1.
S E C T I O N 5 - 1 : (REVISITED)
We're almost mansion free, literally! From when you come back
here, jump up the platforms to the left then head to the
staircase (there will be a Gray Bone Tossers and Gray Skeletons
Soliders here). Now go down the staircase, take out the next
Gray Bone Tosser, and drop down over the left edge. Down here
will be another Gray Skeleton Solider and a Gray Lance Knight,
so take them out as well. Now head left and continue going
left, taking out any enemies in your way and ignoring the
staircases. More Gray Skeleton Soliders, Gray Bone Tossers and
Gray Lance Knights will be in your way, so take them out. Now
that you are at the otherside, go through the left entryway and
you will have completed Castle 5!

[45] = Town Of Doina
SCREEN 41:
You should now be outside of Castle 5, and you have just a
little bit more to go (FINALLY ^_^)! With that out of the way,
you can move onto Castle 6, but first, there are some things
that needs to be done. But before we do even that, I'd like to
point your attention to if you go left. Doing so would take you
to SCREEN 42 and then SCREEN 43. After that, you will be at
SCREEN 17, which if you remember from before (which I'm sure
you don't), you'll recall it's a one-way trip. Long story
short, avoid going left from SCREEN 41 ^_^. Now with that
pointless talk out of the way, let's head through the right
entryway, which will lead to SCREEN 40.
SCREEN 40:
Once here, head left and use a Laurel and jump into the pink
acid lake. Avoid the Leeches and take out the Orange Slime
Creatures. Once you make it through the first, jump into the
second one and make it through this one. After that, jump out
and head through the right entryway, taking you to SCREEN 39.
SCREEN 39:
Right away you will be greeted by Fire Creatures and Floating
Skulls, so I would use the Golden Knife to take them all out.
Continue like this until you get to a lake with moving
platforms. Time your moves and be careful as Floating Skulls
will come at you. After you make it across that, continue going
right, equip Dracula's Eye and you will see a CLUE BOOK (where
did that come from?!), which says "Dracula's evil knife blurs
Camilla's Vision". I guess that Floating Mask creature has a
name, oh well, too late to do anything now ^_^. Continue
onwards, and then go through the right entryway, which will
take you to SCREEN 38.
SCREEN 38:
You are now back in the maze of blocks, and if you can't
remember how to get through, I'll be glad to copypaste my map
from earlier, just for you :)

I'll wait till you all make it to the otherside (watch out for
the Black Skeletons and Floating Skulls). *surfs Youtube* Okay
now that you made it to the otherside, head through the right
entryway, taking you to SCREEN 37.
SCREEN 37:
Once you get here, jump over to where the staircase is, and
climb up it. Now continue making your way up the blocks until
you reach the lake. Jump out of that, and head through the
right entryway, taking you to SCREEN 36.
SCREEN 36:
In here, simply make it to the otherside and go through the
right entryway (why can't it always be this easy?), taking you
to SCREEN 35.
SCREEN 35:
You will now be just outside of Castle 4, but you have no need
to go into it, so instead go through the right entryway, taking
you to SCREEN 44.
SCREEN 44:
In this new screen, you will be greeted by Red Mummies, so take
them out with ease, and then continue onwards. Soon you will
come across a White Fire Plant and then Flying Vultures, so do
be careful taking them out. Continuing onwards and you will see
Floating Medusas, so get around this and make your way to the
right entryway. Go through it, and you will be at SCREEN 45.
SCREEN 45:
As you start this screen, you will notice you're in a town.
This one is called Town Of Doina.
T O W N O F D O I N A :
ITEMS: Laurels
Here we are in the Town Of Doina. There isn't exactly alot
in this town. All the people seem to be really anal about
you coming back to Castlevania. Don't exactly get why, but
it's not your problem. The first door you see has an old
lady who tells you to get back! The second door is a Church
which will come in handy to refill your life. Make your way
to the third door and enter it. Inside, drop into the
opening in the floor and continue making your way downwards.
You will then see a Cloaked Man who will offer you some
Laurels for 50 Hearts, which I'm pretty sure you have, so go
ahead and buy some. DO NOT use any Laurels from this point
on, you will need to save them. After this, head back
outside to town. Now we are ready to move on!
Now that you are done with this town, head through the right
entrance of town, leading to SCREEN 46.
SCREEN 46:
Upon entering here, you will see some Red Skeletons and an
Orange Sea Creature popping up. Be careful as you make your way
through here, because you will have to jump over from platform
to platform. Once you make your way across this big mess,
continue onwards, taking out more enemies and go through the
right entryway, taking you to SCREEN 47.
SCREEN 47:
For this screen, you will be be greeted by some Green
Lizardmens, so be quick on taking them out. Continue onwards to
the pink acid lake. Now if you have alot of health, jump into
the pink acid lake. No sense of wasting a Laurel because at the
most you'd lose a few health points. At the otherside, take out
the Green Lizardman and head through the right entryway, taking
you to SCREEN 48.
SCREEN 48:
When you get in here, you will see Red Skeletons and a choice
to make: Go down the stairs or continue on. Well, we are going
down the stairs. Just so you know, if you went continue on, you
would go through SCREEN 52, 53 & 54, but it's pretty much a
dead end with nothing of use there. So there is no point going
through those screens. With that, use your Diamond to take out
the Red Skeletons and go down the stairs. Once you make it to
the bottom, continue going right and follow the path to the
right entryway. Go through it and you will be at SCREEN 49.
SCREEN 49:
As you start this screen, you will notice you're in a town.
This one is called Town Of Yomi.
T O W N O F Y O M I :
Items: None
You are now in the Town Of Yomi. As you explore through
here, you will see that this is really the town of nothing,
as there isn't anything happening. The first door leads to
an empty room (no there isn't any secret passages). As you
make your way to the otherside, you'll see another door
which has an old woman in it. She will tell you "let's live
here together". I'm thinking she's been alone for a long
time, it might explain why the town's dead *runs*. Head back
outside into town before she gets any ideas. Now we are
ready to move on!
Now that you are done with this town, head through the right
entrance of town, leading to SCREEN 50.
SCREEN 50:
Wow, the 50th screen. Just how big is this game?! Right away
you will see some White Mummies. Now believe it or not, the</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
tombstones block your way (that's 2-D phsyics for you), so you
need to jump on them, and take out the White Mummies (using the
Diamond). As you make your way across this, you will see some
White Speeding Eagles too followed by White Glowing Ghosts, so
be careful of those. Continue making your way across the
tombstones until you reach the otherside (a bit of a journey).
Work up to getting to Level 6, because you will need all your
strength for the final battle! Once you make it to the
otherside, head through the right entryway, taking you
to SCREEN 51.
SCREEN 51:
Right away it would seem your path is blocked by blocks. Great,
come all this way to find a dead end, or is it? Get to the
blocks and with your Holy Water equipped, jump up and throw it
on the first two blocks to destroy them. Now we can pass
onwards! Jump over the other blocks and continue following the
long pathway to the otherside. Now once there, go through the
right entryway and you will be at Castle 6!

M: |Castle 6: Castlevania|

ITEMS FOUND: None
ITEMS REQUIRED: Dracula's Rib, Dracula's Nail, Dracula's Heart,
Dracula's Eyeball, Dracula's Ring, Cross
LEVEL REQUIRED: Level 6
LINK TO MAP: There is none ^_^
If you were expecting a map for Dracula's Tomb, well forget it,
because I never made one. Guess I should have, but it was too
straight forward so I decided not to make one ^_^.
S E C T I O N 6 - 1 :
Here we are, the final stage! The good news here is, NO
ENEMIES! With that, from the starting point, head right
(jumping over the small platform) and continue onwards the long
path to the end. You will now see a staircase going downwards,
but tons of blocks are in your way. Bust out your Holy Water
and start throwing it on all the blocks you see. Doing so will
destroy several of them, giving you access to the staircase.
Head down the staircase, and drop over the rightside. Go left,
drop down, then go right and drop through the skinny opening.
You will notice that you can't go back the way you came (like
it matters now). Now head left till you see two staircases.
Take short one going up and then follow the short path to the
ledge. From the ledge, jump over to the landing on the wall,
then drop down on the leftside of that wall. Now go right,
jumping over the blocks (why they put stairs here I'll never
know), then on the otherside, go over to the staircase going
down and head down it. At the bottom, turn around and head
right into the big room. Now go through the right entryway,
which will take you to SECTION 6-2.
S E C T I O N 6 - 2 :
Upon entering here, a cutscene will take place, showing that
all those items of Dracula you have collected will go into the
middle pedistal. A fire will appear and then a figure will
emerge. This figure is the Dark Prince himself. Get ready for
the final battle!
BOSS #3: DRACULA
ITEM REQUIRED: Flame Whip & Golden Knife
ITEM RECEIVED: None
So here's how this fight is set up. Dracula will split into
four beings, and begin circling the room very fast. He will
stop for a split second only to throw out, what looks like
his ribs? Here's what you need to do: Use a Laurel right
away and get to the bottom right corner. From there, just
use your Golden Knife and Flame Whip combo on him, no matter
if he's circling around or if he's standing still, you'll
still be able to hit him just the same. The moment one
Laurel runs out, use another one (you should have 8
Laurels). If you have alot of Hearts, then don't worry about
your ammo supply, just keep hitting him. Soon enough he will
be destroyed!
And with that, you have completed the game. You will now be
treated to one of three endings. Which one, well that depends
on how well you did. To find out, please skip to the next
section. And now I will say, congradulations on beating
Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest for the Nintendo Entertainment
System.
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
N: |The Endings|
-----------
There are three endings to this game. To get those endings, you
must play through the game in a certain amount of days. Here is a
list of all the endings and their requirements (SPOILERS AHEAD):
1. BEST ENDING: Requirements are to beat the game in 8 Game
Days. Sun is setting and we see Simon kneeling at Dracula's
Grave. You will get the following message: "The encounter
with Dracula is terminated. Simon Belmont has put an end to
the eternal darkness in Transylvania. His blood and sweat
have penetrated the earth and will induce magic & happiness
for those who walk on this land". And with that, it becomes
nightfall. But just when things look safe, the grave shakes
and a hand appears!
2. GOOD ENDING: Requirements are to beat the game in 8 to 15
Game Days. Daybreak is upon Simon as he kneels down at
Dracula's Grave. You will get the following message:
"Although the confrontation between Simon and Dracula has
concluded, Simon couldn't survive his fatal wounds.
Transylvania's only hope is a young man who will triumph
over evil and ride the city of Dracula's deadly curse." Kind
of a depressing ending honestly.
3. BAD ENDING: Requirements are to beat the game in 15 or more
Game Days. It's nightfall (seriously, it's black and white!)
has fallen, and we see a lone grave. You will get the
following message: "The battle has consummated. Now peace
and serenity have been restored to Transulvania and the
people are free of Dracula's curse forever. And you, Simon
Belmont, will always be remembered for your bravery and
courage." Guess someone kicked the bucket ^_^

SECTION 3: |THE GOODIES|
-----------
---------
A: |Level Ups|
---------
To gain experience, you defeat enemies. However unlike most RPGs,
if an enemy drops a Heart of any kind, you only get experience
from that. Keep in mind, that these Hearts can be used as currency
to buy stuff or as ammo for your Secondary Weapons. There are
three different kinds of Hearts, which is listed below:
1. SMALL HEART = These are found in enemies, and gives you 2
Heart Points and 1 Experience Point.
2. 1/2 GIANT HEART = These are found in enemies, and gives you
4 Heart Points and 3 Experience Points.
3. GIANT HEART = These are found in enemies, and gives you 6
Heart Points and 5 Experience Points.
Now the downside, overtime, you will not be able to get experience
from the Hearts certain enemies drops. I was working on a way
where you can find out where you can level up at, but kinda gave
up on that. If anyone out there has such a chart, I'll be glad to
credit you for it! ^_^
With everything that I've told you in mind, once you get enough
experience, you will level up (just like in any RPG). Below tells
you what experience you need to get in order to level up, as well
as other info:
LVL HP EXP ATT DEF
--- ---- ----- --- --- LVL: What your current Level is.
| 0 | 12 | 000 | 1 | 1 | HP: How much bars of life you have.
| 1 | 12 | 100 | 2 | 2 | (shown in the upper left corner)
| 2 | 16 | 150 | 3 | 3 | EXP: Shows how much experience you
| 3 | 16 | 200 | 4 | 4 | need to get to the next Level.
| 4 | 20 | 250 | 5 | 5 | ATT: Shows how much damage you can do.
| 5 | 20 | 300 | 6 | 6 | DEF: Shows how much damage you can
| 6 | 24 | 350 | 7 | 7 | withstand from enemies.
--- ---- ---- --- ----
Keep in mind, when you level up, your experience will reset back
to 0 so that you can begin building up for the next level. Seeing
as the highest experience you can get from anything is 5 EXP, it
is quite possible that your experience will show up to 4 EXP after
hitting Level 6 (349 EXP + 5 EXP = 354 EXP), but it won't mean
anything if that happens. Also note, your Attack and Defense is
nowheres listed in the game, but it is something I came up with to
give you more info on how stronger you will become.
---------------
B: |Primary Weapons|
---------------
The main weapon in this game is whips. There are five whips in the
game and below is a list of them and info on them:
1. LEATHER WHIP (ATT +1): This is the first whip in the game.
You also start off with this whip.
2. THORN WHIP (ATT +2): This is the second whip in the game.
You can buy this for 100 Hearts in the Town Of Jova.
3. CHAIN WHIP (ATT +4): This is the third whip in the game. You
can buy this for 150 Hearts in the Town Of Veros.
4. MORNING STAR (ATT +8): This is the fourth whip in the game.
You can buy this for 200 Hearts in the Town Of Ondol.
5. FLAME WHIP (ATT +16): This is the fifth whip in the game.
Take the Morning Star to a man near Castle 5, to upgrade it.
-----------------
C: |Secondary Weapons|
-----------------
Like other Castlevania games, there is quite a few secondary
weapons. This is a list of all of those weapons and info on them:
1. HOLY WATER (ATT +1): Does little damage to enemies as well
as destroy some blocks revealing secret passages.
2. DAGGER (ATT +2): A little more stronger weapon that can be
used for long distance attacking.
3. SILVER KNIFE (ATT +2): Just as strong as the Dagger, only
this weapon costs 1 Heart per use.
4. DIAMOND (ATT +2): When using it, a diamond will shoot out
hitting all enemies in its path.
5. SACRED FLAME (ATT +4): Throw it at an enemy and flames will
rise up doing decent damage to enemies. Very good defense.
6. GOLDEN KNIFE (ATT +16): This is the best Secondary Weapon,
which will do massive damage to enemies.
7. OAK STAKE: Used to break open the orbs found in the five
mansions. Not to be used as a weapon.
8. LAUREL: Using this will give you temporial invincibility.
Use these against bosses or in very dire need.
9. GARLIC: While these may have other uses, the main one is to
summon a Cloaked Man who will give you the Silver Knife.
Amongst these Seconrdary Weapons, some of them will cost Hearts to
use. Below is a list of those weapons and the Hearts they use:
1. Silver Knife = 1 Heart 3. Golden Knife = 2 Hearts
2. Diamond = 1 Heart 4. Sacred Flame = 2 Hearts

SECTION 4: |THE BADDIES|

There are three groups of enemies: Overworld Enemies, Castle
Enemies, and Town Enemies. Most of the enemies you encounter will
be repeated throughout the game, but as different colors. Below is

takes to defeat them (thanks to RPGClassics.com for the idea
behind this, as well as any info from them).

------
B: |Bosses|
------
This is a list of all of the bosses in the game:
BOSS #1: GRIM REAPER (from Castle 3):
ITEM REQUIRED: Chain Whip & Sacred Flame
ITEM RECEIVED: Golden Knife
HITS: LTH = 128; THR = 64; CHN = 32; MRN = 16; FLM = 8
Here is how the fight will setup, Grim Repear will float
around at a medium pace, throwing out his psycthes at you
(doing little damage). These will take 2 hits with your
Chain Whip. So what should you do? Well use a Laurel first
(if you have any) so that you are given a little protection.
Now equip your Sacred Flame and get him to stay in the
middle part of the floor. With him there, use your Sacred
Flame on him, which will do some decent damage to him (about
3 or 4 hits). While he's being attacked by the flame, use
your Chain Whip on him to do double damage. This is a great
combo attack to take him down. After about 7 or 8 rounds of
this he will fall.
BOSS #2: FLOATING FACE (from Castle 5):
ITEM REQUIRED: Flame Whip & Golden Knife
ITEM RECEIVED: Magic Cross
HITS: LTH = 256; THR = 128 = CHN = 64; MRN = 32; FLM = 16
Okay this fight might be a bit tougher than the last. What
we got here is this mask creature that will float around in
a circular formation, covering most of the room. When it
stops however, it will shoot down fireballs which will
disperse and shooting 5 of them in an archway formation.
These are its only attacks. So what should you do, well make
sure you have some Laurels, and use them to get a bit of
protection. For defeating it, get to just to the left of the
center and make sure it's at the lowest point. Using the
Flame Whip/Golden Knife combo will work perfectly here, but
you have to jump up at it to hit it. After about 4 or 5
rounds of this, it will be defeated!
BOSS #3: DRACULA (from Castle 6):
ITEM REQUIRED:
ITEM RECEIVED: None
HITS: LTH = 256; THR = 128 = CHN = 64; MRN = 32; FLM = 16
So here's how this fight is set up. Dracula will split into
four beings, and begin circling the room very fast. He will
stop for a split second only to throw out, what looks like
his ribs? Here's what you need to do: Use a Laurel right
away and get to the bottom right corner. From there, just
use your Golden Knife and Flame Whip combo on him, no matter
if he's circling around or if he's standing still, you'll
still be able to hit him just the same. The moment one
Laurel runs out, use another one (you should have 8
Laurels). If you have alot of Hearts, then don't worry about
your ammo supply, just keep hitting him. Soon enough he will
be destroyed!

Like anyone would read this but something new I've been toying
around with is the idea of taking donations. After making as many
maps and FAQs as I have, it tends to be a big strain on my

of my FAQs and maps, and wish to give a little something back, you
can donate as much as you want to my PayPal account ^_^. Email me

On-line Thanks To:
To GameFAQS for hosting my walkthroughs, as well as many more ^_^.
To RPGClassics.com: For the idea behind on what it takes to defeat

D: |The Disclaimer|
--------------
Castlevania 2 is probably a very underrated game for the series.
To be quite honest however, this one is my favorite of all the
Castlevania games (though you can't knock the original). It's a
very unique game that's quite different than the norm for the
series, especially the earlier games. I dunno, something about it
I just got into (maybe the RPG aspects of it), and that's why I
really love this game. I made this walkthrough the best way I can
and I hope it helps out in every way possible. Now here comes the
important stuff you need to read.
Ok, I'll make this quick and simple. This walkthrough is my work.
I've made this walkthrough, describing the game the best possible
way I can. You can use whatever info you want, so long as you give
me credit and don't alter anything. All you have to do is email me
at
[email protected] if you're gonna do anything with
this walkthrough. And to show that I'm not a complete selfish
bastard, if you have something you wanna add, email me and I will
give you full credit ^_^. This walkthrough, like many others are
intended for GameFAQs ONLY. You want it on your site, well you
better start emailing me. Failure to comply with this, and I will
be mad, among other things.
