Castlevania: Lament of Innocence Hints V (PS2)

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence is a video game created and published by Konami Interactive. It was developed just for the PlayStation 2 gaming console from Sony and was launched in 2005. It is classed as an action adventure title with a medieval and fantasy setting that is played from a third person perspective.

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence is the prequel that aims to explain the back story on which all the other Castlevania games are based. It basically sets the stage for the continuous showdown between the Belmont family and the vampire Dracula. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is the inspiration of the team that created the game and the translation into 3D is very important to the series.

The player is cast in the role of Leon Belmont, a one time Baron for the King. Sara, the girl he was supposed to marry, is kidnapped and then taken to a big castle, which Leon is forced not to attack. He resigns his post and goes to the castle alone, before being stopped by Rinaldo, a one time vampire-hunter himself.

The gameplay is actually hack-and-slash and light role playing. The player gains new abilities and collects relics and orbs. The relics allow the player to have special skills necessary to solve certain puzzles, while the orbs enable offensive or defensive powers. The bosses in the game will usually require two or three attempts before they can be killed, because of how tough they are.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Ice Whip

Go to the Waterfall level. Go to the tunnel where there is a door shape on a big rock (b1 where there is an axe sub-weapon, on the right corner on the map.) Walk back to where you will see an armored opponent with a chainball. Make him follow you towards the wall. Stand in front of the wall. Let him hit you. When he hits you, he should break the wall. Go in, then move up. From the first door, run towards your screen, then jump onto a pillar (jump from the middle). From the pillar, make your way up and to the Ice Element. Defeat her and get the Ice Whip.

Fire Ring

In the Garden Forgotten By TIme, once you activate all of the red orbs in the blue door (the orbs are stacked on top of one another), they will turn green. This door is located in the room straight down from the start of the level. Once there, you will obtain the fire ring.

Fire Whip

First, go to the Anti-Soul Mysteries Lab second floor and find the room with the moving platform. Follow it until you get to the second platform on the right. After jumping over the platform, look for two yellow poles. Hook over the two poles. On the upper side, you can find the monster named Flame Element. Defeat him and he will give you the Fire Whip.
