Walkthrough for Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Level 6A - The Moat Bridge of Peril. Navigate enemies like Hunchbacks, Axe Knights, Fishmen, Crows, and Pillars of Bones.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    BLK 6-0A: Start by defeating Hunchbacks and collecting Hearts from candles. Jump onto the raised ledge, defeat the Axe Knight Guard, collect a large Heart, and drop down. Anticipate another Hunchback, defeat it, and collect a Dagger, Heart, and Money Bag from candles before exiting through the door.
  2. 2
    BLK 6-0B: Whip the first candle for a Heart. Watch for a Fishman emerging from the stream on the right; jump over its fireball and wade right. The current will pull you left initially, so keep moving and fight off Fishmen and Crows. As you pass the waterfall, the current shifts to pull you right. Continue wading, jumping over a pit, and defeating a Pillar of Bones. Collect a large Heart from the last candle and exit through the door.
  3. 3
    BLK 6-0C: Collect Hearts from three candles. Defeat the Axe Knight Guard, ideally using Sacred Water. Deal with a Hunchback on a high ledge by positioning yourself to defeat it as it leaps down. Jump over a pit and immediately start attacking the Pillar of Bones to avoid its fireballs and falling back into the pit. Collect Hearts from two candles and descend the staircase.
  4. 4
    In the new area, wait for the Pillar of Bones on the lower ledge to finish firing before defeating it and any Bats. Collect a Heart from a candle on the left and a Money Bag from a candle where the Pillar of Bones was.
  5. 5
    Jump right, whip a candle for a Heart. Go up the small staircase and whip another candle for a Heart. Carefully descend the small staircase to face an Axe Knight Guard, using Sacred Water if available to stun-lock it. Climb the staircase to the upper-right ledge, wait for the Pillar of Bones to stop firing, and whip the candle for a large Heart. Head up the next staircase.
  6. 6
    Collect a Money Bag from the candle at the top of the steps. Climb another set of steps and defeat another Axe Knight Guard. Collect a Pocket Watch from the candle above if desired. Crouch and defeat the Pillar of Bones on the next ledge. Engage the final Axe Knight Guard, using Sacred Water if possible.
  7. 7
    Before exiting through the door, find a hidden Leg of Werewolf in the ceiling of the left block above the exit door for health replenishment.
  8. 8
    BLK 6-0D: Collect a Heart from the first candle and defeat a Crow. Jump over the first gap. The next candle contains a Dagger. Proceed over the long bridge segment, which begins crumbling from behind, while more Crows appear.
Tips
  • Hunchbacks can be defeated swiftly with weapons.
  • Axe Knight Guards throw axes at different heights; watch their patterns.
  • Sacred Water is effective for stunning Axe Knight Guards and Pillars of Bones.
  • When facing Pillars of Bones, wait for them to finish firing before attacking.
  • Be cautious of falling into pits, especially when fighting enemies near ledges.
  • The bridge in BLK 6-0D crumbles from behind, so keep moving forward.
