Dracula's Castle

From Laruba Mansion, head right, wading through poisoned water using 2-3 Laurels to return to the starting area.

Continue right, defeating Skulls and Flame Throwers, then cross the water by hopping on floating blue blocks.

Kill more Skulls and Flame Throwers on the next land stretch, then enter the opening to the right, returning to the Uta Lower Path cave.

Jump along stone block ledges to the right, defeating a Skeleton above the water and crossing the ledge above where the old man gave you the Flame Whip.

Cross the next stretch of water. You can take the upper path by jumping across stone blocks to the right (use Holy Water on blocks in the wall to open a path) or drop to the leftmost floating blue block and leap across blue blocks in the lower path.

Continue right from either path to exit the area.

You will arrive in the hidden underground area beneath Bodley Lake. Jump up and along stone blocks, then climb out of the lake at the top-right.

Head right for two screens to be outside Bodley Mansion.

Continue right to the next screen, the Wicked Ditch. Be prepared for Mummies, a Man-Eating Plant, three Bird Men, and two Medusa Heads, especially at night.

Head right to the next screen to reach the Town of Doina.

In the Town of Doina, you can rest at the church during the day. An old woman in the left house will yell at you. In the right house, a trader sells Laurels in the bottom room.

Exit the Town of Doina to the right.

You will arrive at the North Bridge. Carefully jump across the broken segments, being wary of Fish Men jumping from the water. Kill Skeletons on the far left and right segments.

Equip Dracula's Rib and proceed right into Dora Woods.

Defeat the fast-moving Two-Headed Creatures, using your Flame Whip. Duck to deflect fireballs from a creature on a lower path.

Cross the next patch of poisonous purple marsh water by jumping or using a Laurel.

Climb the ascending ledges on the other side, defeating more Two-Headed Creatures.

Continue right to a path split. Take the down staircase. (The right path leads to areas with no relevance to the game).
