Encounter the Lion, Schmoo, Scarecrow, and Tin Man in Castlevania's Long Library. Find the rare Crissaegrim sword and the time-based Badelaire sword.
Walkthrough
- 1In the first room of the library, you will encounter a Lion enemy, which takes about 3-4 hits from Alucard to defeat. You will also encounter the Schmoo enemy, which is easy to defeat.
- 2Look out for items that drop from Schmoos; the rare drop is the Crissaegrim sword, which attacks four times in one instance.
- 3In the next room, take the path on the right, which eventually leads below where the Librarian would be.
- 4Go left, then take every path that leads to the right. When there are no more paths on the right, go left. This creates a large circle around the library.
- 5In the room where the Librarian would be, you will find a Library card, Opal, and Turquoise.
- 6After the Librarian's room, go left. Drop off from that section and you will land just below where you fell, with a pathway to the right leading to a save room.
- 7After saving, go right and drop down to the room on the bottom left.
- 8Hit the candle on the table to receive a Neutron bomb.
- 9Walk to the bookshelf and keep walking to have Alucard walk past it into a single room containing the Badelaire sword. The Badelaire sword's strength increases with game time.
- 10Leave these two rooms and head to the right, then make your way up the room. The Tin Man may give you trouble, but the Scarecrow and Lion are easy enemies.
- 11Continue to the end of this room. You will need to use your Mist form to get through a grate to find a Staurolite accessory, which increases the power of the cross sub-weapon and potentially the pentagram items.
- 12Return to the save room before this area. Drop off from that section to reach the final drop off before heading left.
- 13In the room below where the save room was, you will find a Resist fire, Resist Ice, and Resist stone item.
- 14Ensure you have obtained all map coverage in the library.
- 15Leave the library and go back to the Outer Wall.
