Castlevania II: Simon's Quest

An adventure about Simon Belmont wandering towns and mansions to lift Dracula's curse.

Konami · 6–10 hrs

Difficulty

An open Castlevania with a day/night cycle, a cryptic translation, and three endings based on the clock. Laurels, garlic, and the red crystal are more important than the whip upgrade.

Tips

Start here
Laurels for the swamp, garlic for the grave
Oak laurels let you walk poisoned ground. Garlic placed at a grave or wall is a secret door. Don't grind the graveyard at night until you have holy water.
Secrets
Red crystal at the ferry, then Dracula's end
Kneel with the red crystal at the Ferryman to cross. The ending is a timer from the first whip swing — a fast run is the good credits, not a different boss.
