Encounter Lion, Schmoo, Scarecrow, and Tin Man in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood's Long Library. Find the Crissaegrim sword and Badelaire sword.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In the first room of the library, you will encounter a Lion enemy, which will deal some good damage if you are hit, and it will take about 3-4 hits from Alucard before going down.
  2. 2
    You will encounter the Schmoo enemy, which is easy to defeat. However, look out for the items that drop from them. The rare drop from them is the Crissaegrim sword, a uniquely powerful sword that will attack four times in one instance.
  3. 3
    In the next room, there are two paths: one on the right and one below. Take the path on the right.
  4. 4
    This path eventually leads below (or above) where the Librarian sits. Since he is not there, drop down to where he would be and go left.
  5. 5
    Take every path that leads to the right.
  6. 6
    When there are no more paths on the right, go left. This effectively creates one big circle around the library.
  7. 7
    There is no boss fight here; the enemies are the Lion, Schmoo, Scarecrow, and Tinman.
  8. 8
    You will find a Library card, Opal, and Turquoise in the room where the Librarian would be.
  9. 9
    After the Librarian's room, go left.
  10. 10
    When you drop off from that section, you will land just below where you fell, and there will be a pathway to the right which should lead to a save (checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death)).
  11. 11
    After that save, go right and drop down to the room on the bottom left.
  12. 12
    Hit the candle on the table to receive a Neutron bomb.
  13. 13
    Walk to the bookshelf and keep walking to have Alucard walk past it and be in a single room containing the Badelaire sword. The Badelaire sword is unique because its strength gets higher with the passing of game time; the game clock determines its strength. When you first get it, it will not be as good as your Dark Blade.
  14. 14
    Leave these two rooms and head to the right, then make your way up this room. The enemies here are pretty easy to beat; the Tin Man will give you some trouble, but the Scarecrow and Lion are easy enemies.
  15. 15
    Keep going to the end of this room. You will have to use your mist (a special ability) to get through the grate, but there is a Staurolite accessory here which increases the power of the cross (a sub-weapon).
  16. 16
    Go back to the save room before this area.
  17. 17
    Drop off from that section, and you will be at the final drop off before going to the left side of this room, which will eventually lead back to the fork in the road.
  18. 18
    In the room below where the save room was, you will come to a single room containing a Resist fire, Resist Ice, and Resist stone.
  19. 19
    The only thing left to do is ensure you get all the map coverage in the library.
  20. 20
    Once map coverage is complete, you can leave the library and go back to the Outer Wall.
