Bloodlines...The Fall of Richter

Enter: Castlevania

    From the save point, grab the relic Cube of Zoe from the pedestal at the top of the staircase and then head through the door to the left. This door will take you to the Alchemy Laboratory. From here, the game will become less linear, and you'll actually have to use your head. Your first goal here is to grab the Hide Cuirass from the globe past the block of spikes all the way to the left of this room. Now, head up to the next room, jump over the spikes to the left, and destroy the blue flame to obtain the Leather Shield. Then, climb up to the series of platforms in the center of the room. From here, head up past the elevator and exit using the door on the far left. Note: There is a Save Point located in the lower right-hand room next to the elevator.

    Before you head up the platforms, make sure you enter the secret rooms located down and to the left. Now follow the passage up and to the left, making sure to grab the Resist Thunder potion from the lab table along the way. In the next room you will encounter a semi-difficult puzzle. First, hit both switches so the spikes go down. Then, push the crate onto the spike casing to the right, then hit the switch to move the crate up. Now, use the crate to jump up to the path that leads to the cloth cape. After you get the cape, head back to the puzzle room and then exit through the door that's up and to the left.

    Follow the series of platforms down and back up, making sure to visit the save point along the way. At the top, the passage on the left leads to a mystical door that you can't open yet, and the other, to the right, leads to the first boss. Before you enter this room, make sure that you have the axe power-up (located in the topmost flame), and plenty of hearts.
