Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse PSA: There’s An Easier Way To Fast Travel That The Game Is Not Good At Telling You About

Are you overwhelmed by the sheer size of Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse? Do you wish, as you travel the streets of Paris and Dracula’s Manor, that it was easier to return to specific, pinpoint areas? Do you wish you didn’t have to use The Ferryman’s fast-travel boat which will only teleport you to a general zone?

Have I got some good, possibly too-fucking-late news for you! You can fast travel between Belmont’s Curse save-point mirrors. All you have to do is roll up to a mirror, crouch down, and wait for Rose to teleport to the mirror world (but only after you’ve summoned Dracula’s castle!). There, you have access to almost every mirror you’ve unlocked within a specific zone and once you get to a certain story point, you can use it to travel from mirror to mirror throughout the entire game, cutting out The Ferry-middle-man.

One thing I appreciate about Belmont’s Curse is that there’s a robust diegetic hint system that tells you how to figure out your next objective. There are a handful of bonus bosses and other goodies not on the game’s critical path but getting to them isn’t straightforward, though the game is pretty good about dropping hints to help you find them. For example, the Mammon boss is hidden behind a door that’s only unlocked when you’ve collected three special items. Explore enough in the game, and you’ll find clues telling you where to look for those items. Another really cool use of diegetic clues that’ll help if you’re looking to 100-percent complete the game and don’t yet have the item that lets you know a secret is nearby: the map will tell you!
