Follow this Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night walkthrough to navigate the Castle Entrance, defeat enemies like Bats, Sabnock, and Gieremund, and find important items.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the vestibule and proceed right into a darkened room. A statue will crash through the ceiling. Destroy the two nearby Statues holding burning sconces by hitting their bowls.
  2. 2
    Continue right into the "Long Entrance Hallway." Defeat the new enemy, Bats, by timing your swings as they swoop down. They drop Bat Fangs and Small Webbing. Be aware of Mortes as well.
  3. 3
    Enter the large room to the right with a vaulted ceiling. You will encounter a Sabnock (88 HP). Attack it as it lumbers towards you, and run away when it dashes, as it will fall over. Stand on the stairs or platforms to hit it while it's down. It drops the Lion Mane. Watch out for Aello enemies flapping above.
  4. 4
    After defeating the Sabnock and Aello, climb the columns. Jump to the balcony on the left to find Blue Chest (#1). To the right on the same level, kill a Bone Morte.
  5. 5
    Climb to the top of the columns and jump through the hole in the ceiling. Kill the Aello and Bone Morte to the right. Check the Bookcase (#3) to the left.
  6. 6
    Go all the way right and drop through the hole in the floor next to the wall. Open the Green Chest (#2) for a Leather Chestguard and defeat the Aello with Cerulean Splash.
  7. 7
    Drop down a floor and go through the door on the right.
  8. 8
    Enter the next long hallway and defeat the new enemy, Gieremund (53 HP). It charges and jumps; use magic or go under its attack. Use the stairs for height if needed.
  9. 9
    Continue right, defeating Bats and a Ghost. More Mortes will appear one by one; kill each one. More Bats will attack after passing another set of portraits.

Notes on Abilities and Items:

  • Reflector Ray is needed to access the top level of the first room.
  • Blood Steal is required to pass through the hole at the bottom of the fountain, but this is not relevant yet.
  • The Sabnock is part of a quest for Lindsay.
  • The Gieremund is part of a quest; you need to kill it three times in this area.
