Super Castlevania 4 sur Super Nintendo - Niveau 7 : The Library

The Library

The first part of this library is fairly simple. Be careful not to get hit by the axe throwers and watch out for a few ghostly apparitions, and everything will go well until the descent between the shelves. There are also some very slow but quite tough guards (4 hits).

It gets a little more complicated. While you can't die from falling into the void (except when you're at the very bottom), the winged skeletons with shields are quite annoying because their oscillation height is quite variable. The best strategy is often to avoid them and not stay too close to the edges. Don't descend too quickly and try to "kill" the stationary books before they charge at you, and you should reach the bottom without losing too many health points. Don't hesitate to drop down from stairs if you're sure there's ground below (Down + Jump).

Painting Corridor

After going down the stairs, you'll reach a corridor with paintings. Ghosts come out of the pictures and chase you. Don't try to kill them, just keep moving. You'll also have to cross some swinging chandeliers. Timing is key here.

Flying Carpet

This part requires precision. Ride the carpet and be ready to jump over obstacles or duck under them. Some flying eyes will try to push you off, so get rid of them quickly with your whip.

Boss: Lord Grakul

Lord Grakul is a massive armored warrior. He throws axes and jumps toward you. Keep your distance and strike with your whip when he's exposed. When he starts throwing axes in an arc, try to stand directly under him or very far away from him.
