These items appear when you put out a candle , a lantern or a flame in general , when you have destroyed certain enemies or broken certain walls.

Rosary

It gives you the power to clear all enemies from the screen in the blink of an eye.

As in Castlevania 1, it will often be possible to break bricks to find a pot roast (for health points) or a double then triple (to throw your sub-weapon 2, then 3 times with Trevor) or even a big heart (5 small ones). Most often, the bricks that can be broken are located in the back wall of a room, at the hero's height or above a door, or when the bricks form a kind of staircase. There can also be some elsewhere (e.g., level 11).
