Castlevania 2 Walkthrough: Third part, towards Brahms Mansion
Castlevania 2 world map

You leave Rover's house in possession of Dracula's heart. A long walk awaits you since you will first have to go left until the village of Jova (the starting town). For once, my passwords are better than my playthrough because it takes time to get to Jova and the password makes you start there (plus, it will be noon while I left the mansion later).

Here are 2 passwords:

1. My playthrough's password
2. A cool password

Once in the village of Jova, continue left to reach a new area with new enemies. If you have laurels, you can potentially use them to cross the poisoned (cursed?) marsh.

Arriving in front of the ferryman (the boatman), equip the heart and talk to him. He will then take you to a "secret" place. Continue left to reach Brahms Mansion.

Enter Brahms Mansion for the rest of the walkthrough.
