Castlevania 2 Walkthrough: Part five, towards Laruba Mansion
Castlevania 2 world map

The nail from Boldey's dungeon has been obtained. Only one part of Dracula remains, and Simon Belmont will be able to summon him. Normally, the equipment is sufficient, so Simon is heading straight for the Laruba house. To do this, go left. At the edge of the lake, equip the red crystal and kneel. The lake will drain; go down and head left.

Here are 2 passwords (Laruba isn't far from Bodley, so it's a bit of a shame to end up back in Jova, but oh well...):

1. The password from my playthrough
2. A super cool password

In this old prison, start by going left by jumping from block to block. Talk to the old guy who will make your morning star flaming.

Retrace your steps just before the screen change and go up, then break the wall with holy water.

Cross the prison to the left.

Cross the next screen while killing the fire men and flying skulls.

Then cross the swamp. If you have any laurel, don't hesitate to use 2 of them to avoid losing too much health. At the end of the path, you will find the Laruba Mansion.

Enter Laruba Mansion for the rest of the walkthrough.
