Find the Alucard Shield and Osafune katana in Castlevania's Underground Caverns. Learn how to defeat the Rock Knight and get map coverage.
Walkthrough
- 1In the first room of the Underground Caverns, grab the Shiitake mushroom on the far left.
- 2Proceed through the opening above.
- 3Take the path to the right, then return to the left path.
- 4Defeat the Cave Trolls (2-3 hits each) that run at you and shoot projectiles when they stop.
- 5Defeat the Dark Octopus by diagonally swinging with your weapon from higher ground.
- 6After more trolls, break a candle near the ground to find a $2000 bag.
- 7Continue to the end of the path to find a door leading to the ALUCARD SHIELD. Equip it.
- 8To get map coverage (you check the map with the Select button), eliminate all enemies in the water sections first.
- 9Start on the far left or right side of the water section.
- 10Transform into a wolf and swim by holding the dash button (Triangle).
- 11Swim with the wolf hugging the ceiling towards the other side of the room.
- 12If the map shows a white line completing the room's perimeter, you have achieved map coverage for that side. Repeat for the other side.
- 13Go left over the opening to the other side of the Underground Caverns.
- 14Walk through empty hallways until you reach an inverted Waterfall.
- 15Go through the waterfall to find the Osafune katana.
- 16Leave the room and get map coverage of the waterfall area and the other side.
- 17On the opposing side of the waterfall, find Shiitake and Toadstool consumables.
- 18Drop down and enter the room on the bottom right to find a Garnet.
- 19Leave the waterfall room.
- 20In the next room, swim towards the Bat Pentagram item using the wolf form to obtain it, as it pushes you away.
- 21Proceed through the next few rooms where the difficulty increases, encountering Blue Venus Weed and Rock Knight enemies. You will need to spam attacks or use Mist form to escape due to the tight terrain.
- 22After the initial encounter, defeat a single Venus Weed and a single Rock Knight.
- 23Above the Rock Knight is the entrance to the catacombs.
Tips
- Cave Trolls can hit you while you are trying to get map coverage.
- The wolf form can swim by holding the dash button (Triangle).
- The Rock Knight and Blue Venus Weed rooms offer little room to maneuver, requiring aggressive attacks or the Mist form for escape.
- The Inverted Abadoned Mine (Suggested Level: 37) contains items like Green Tea, Power of Sire, Life apple, Alucard sword, and Shiitake x2.
