Castlevania II - Simon's Quest : go to Castlevania's ruins
Map of the world of Castlevania 2

The 5 elements of Dracula are in your possession. The rib, the heart, the eye, the nail and the ring. The goal now is to go to the ruins of Castlevania. Note that if you go to the left, you arrive at the cemetery pretty quickly or you have got the silver dagger. Be careful because if you go, you can not go back and it will take a VERY long way. To go to Castlevania starting from the fifth dungeon (Laruba), you have to go to the right until you reach a staircase that will go down and then continue to the right until the end. But as I like to put pictures, we will detail a little all that.

Here are three passwords :

Simon first crosses a very long marsh that you had crossed on the way. I advise you to use 2 laurels to avoid siphoning your life. The marsh dries up little by little and Simon will meet cranes and fiery men.

Then cross the lake, always paying attention that the platform is climbing to jump higher. You will then go back to the jails. Many paths are possible to cross them. If you climb a little, do not forget that the wall at the end breaks with holy water.

You finally come out of the lake under which you passed and go back to Bodley Manor.

You then cross a gloomy greyish plain also called cursed moat. Mummies, carnivorous plants, harpies and jellyfish heads share the space but that will not stop you.

Small tourist pose in the village of Doina where even if the priest will look after you, people will not be very welcoming. Of course, you will save the world (or at least Transylvania and yourself) but for now, he would like you to get out of their village (anyway, he is small and ugly). Leaving the village, it will cross a bridge with holes (as usual). At night, it can be quite dangerous because the men-fish that gush in front of you will require 2 lashes. The day, no problem, it goes thoroughly. You arrive in the swamp forest Doina (the name of the village on the other side of the bridge (unless it is the opposite)). Creatures with 2 heads will try in vain to stop you from passing. One can understand that the inhabitants are not in a good mood and a little appeased by the curses. Continue your way.

You finally arrive at the famous staircase which must be descended. You then cross the city of Yomi. No souls who live or almost in this sad city all gray. The only occupant will offer to stay with her but you do not have time.

A last cemetery to cross and there will be only Dracula. The eagles (I would have said vultures) are running over you, while the ghost mummies and pirates want your skin. You finally exit on the right.

Break the wall with holy water and cross the long western bridge.

You arrive in Castlevania. The final battle is close.
