Castlevania: Lament of Innocence Hints X (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

White Orb

Go to the Anti-Soul Mysteries Lab. From the start, go to the door that is behind you when you first get into the stage. Then, go through the rooms until you find the room at the right side of the map. There is a room with a big rock figure in front of it. Use the Fire Wipe on it until it is red, then change to the Ice to crack it. The door can now be opened. The Ice Orb is inside.

Finding the Frost Elemental

In the Palace Of Dark Waterfalls on the first floor, take a left at the first "Y", and a left at the second. You will see an outline of a door. Walk up to it and an Armor Knight will appear behind you. Lure the knight towards the outline. When he does the move where he throws the ball at you, dodge it, and it will knock away the bricks in front of the door. After some double jumps and rail whips, you will reach the first door. Rail whip to the balcony on the left of the door, and blindly jump straight forward from the rightmost corner of that balcony. You should land on a small platform. If not, you will see it and know where it is located. After a couple more rail whips, you will reach the door to the Frost Elemental's room.

Fighting the Forgotten One

Go to the second floor of the Pagoda. In the left tower is a dark room. Once inside the dark room, jump to the left. Look for platforms that go to the left. Note: You need Wolf's Foot. Once you find the path, you will get an Unlock jewel. This is the jewel that is needed to unlock the way to the Prison Of Eternal Torture.
