Encounter Flea Armor, Lesser Demon, Mudman in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

AntMag.NET

This section details encounters with Flea Armor, Lesser Demon, and Mudman enemies in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. It also covers strategies for navigating the Library area, obtaining key items like the Stone Mask and Holy Rod, and acquiring the Soul of Bat and Faerie Card relics.

Enemy Encounters

Flea Armor

These enemies are a significant concern due to their erratic bouncing on walls, making them difficult to hit. It's recommended to deal with them one-on-one as they are much harder to manage in groups.

Lesser Demon (Boss Fight)

The Lesser Demon is an easier boss compared to others like the Werewolf and Minotaurus. A unique aspect of this fight is that the Lesser Demon summons other enemies, including Ectoplasms and the rare Mudman. The demon is invulnerable while summoning. Attack him when he stops and is on the ground.

Mudman

The Mudman is a simple enemy that is only encountered when summoned by the Lesser Demon. It does not appear elsewhere in the castle. Players aiming for a complete monster list ('Master File') should ensure they defeat several Mudmen before finishing the Lesser Demon boss fight.

Area Navigation and Item Acquisition

Library Area

If you arrived via the library card, simply exit the room to the right. If entering from the Library entrance, you'll need to pass Dhurons, Ectoplasms, and spellbooks, then proceed down large stairs. A double jump is required to reach the middle path.

Secret Room with Stone Mask and Holy Rod

In a room with luxury chairs, attack the candle flame on a table to drop a Stone Mask. Then, walk to the right bookshelf; it will move to reveal a secret room containing a Topaz Circlet (which heals poison attacks) and a Holy Rod.

Dead-end with Soul of Bat

Continue left to a dead-end. You will find three items from a pot: Takemitsu, Onyx, and Frankfurter. Nearby is a barricade marked 'Mist could pass'. Use the Form of Mist ability (activated by pressing L1) and hold right on the d-pad to pass through. This dead-end yields the Soul of Bat relic, allowing you to transform into a bat and fly.

Faerie Card Relic

After obtaining the Soul of Bat, backtrack to the save room before the current section. Fly upwards using the bat form to a platform above. In the room to the left, you will find an Antivenom, a Potion, and the Faerie Card relic. Familiars like the Faerie must be manually activated after being acquired.

Map Completion

To discover hidden map areas, transform into the bat and fly to the ceiling in the spots indicated by map holes, specifically two squares above the Dhurons.
