After navigating the treacherous Courtyard, you'll find yourself entering the castle's interior. One of the first sificant areas you'll encounter is the Kitchen. While it might seem like a mundane domestic space, the Kitchen holds more than just culinary secrets. This section will guide you through this often-overlooked area, highlighting crucial items, potential threats, and the path forward to the Grand Hall.
The Kitchen serves as a brief but important transition point, offering a chance to gather resources and prepare for the more formidable challenges ahead. Pay close attention to your surroundings, as even seemingly empty rooms in Castle Dimitrescu can hide valuable supplies or unexpected dangers. Mastering this small area will set you up for success in the larger, more complex sections of the castle.
Navigating the Kitchen
Upon entering the Kitchen from the Courtyard, your immediate priority should be a thorough search for resources. The Kitchen is relatively small but often contains valuable crafting materials and ammunition. Look for shimmering objects on countertops, shelves, and inside cabinets. There's usually a small amount of Lei to be found as well.
Be wary of the pantry area connected to the main kitchen. While it might seem empty, a single Moroaică can sometimes be found lurking here, especially on higher difficulties. Listen for their distinctive whispers and be prepared for a quick engagement. A well-placed shotgun blast or a few pistol rounds to the head should dispatch it quickly. After clearing the area, you'll find the path leading directly into the opulent Grand Hall, marking your progression deeper into Castle Dimitrescu.
