Navigate the underground castle, defeat the Cerberos boss, and acquire the Demon Card relic in this Castlevania: Symphony of the Night walkthrough.

We are delving deeper into the underground areas of the castle. Upon entering this new area of the castle we will be in a big open vertical shape room. You should see a sculpture dog head coming out of the wall on the right side. Below that is a save room. Going through the door in the dog's mouth you will enter into another quiet room and then into the next will be our boss fight, starting this area off with a bang.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon entering the new underground area, you'll find a save room below a dog head sculpture. Proceed through the dog's mouth to face the boss.
  2. 2
    Boss Fight: Cerberos
    • Cerberos attacks with fast fireballs that can be dodged by ducking, jumping over him, or jumping onto platforms.
  3. 3
    When on platforms above, Cerberos will still attack.
  4. 4
    The best tactic is to stay close, duck, and attack. His fireballs will miss, and he will jump over you when near walls.
  5. 5
    He has few other attack patterns.
  6. 6
    After defeating Cerberos, you'll enter a dark, shadowy green vertical room. You will encounter Salem Witches that summon projectiles. Be cautious of a breaking stair that leads downwards.
  7. 7
    Proceed to the next horizontal room with three paths (left, right, below). Take the left path first.
  8. 8
    Navigate a hallway with floating flames; use your shield to pass through them.
  9. 9
    At the end of the hallway, you will find the Demon Card relic, which grants a demon familiar that flies around and can attack.
  10. 10
    The Faerie familiar is the only one that does not attack but heals Alucard.
  11. 11
    After obtaining the Demon Card, backtrack to the room just above where you found it. On the right side of the room where you fought Cerberos, there's a box with a button that can only be activated by the Demon Familiar.
  12. 12
    Activate the Demon Card, enter the Cerberos boss room, and the demon familiar will fly over and activate the switch.
  13. 13
    Proceed into the newly opened path.
  14. 14
    You will encounter a Venus Weed, a more difficult enemy. It's a female inside a rose with 6-8 vines attacking from the bottom. Attack the rose until the vines attack, then distance yourself. The vines' attack areas are visible on the ground.
  15. 15
    After the Venus Weed room, you'll enter a room similar to the one before Cerberos. On the bottom right is the Ring of Ares, which boosts strength but lowers defense significantly. Use with caution.
  16. 16
    On the left wall, across from the Ring of Ares, is a breakable wall revealing a Turkey (food item).
  17. 17
    The next room contains four Peanuts (food item, requires pressing 'Up' to heal), Barley tea (food item), and a Power of Sire (powerful consumable).
  18. 18
    Return to the three-way path where you found the Demon Card.
  19. 19
    Take the path on the right.
  20. 20
    At the end of the right path is a red door leading to a teleporter.
  21. 21
    Teleport back to Orlox's Quarters.

Items Found in Orlox's Quarters (after teleporting): Resist Fire, Manna Prism, Luck potion, Estoc, Garnet, Heart Max Up, SWORD CARD, Iron Ball, Life Max Up, ECHO OF BAT.
