CHARACTER & ITEM GUIDE

■ HERO & LESSER ENEMIES

SIMON BELMONDO
You play as Simon, a young man who inherits the blood of a hero and wields a whip with mysterious power.		 ZOMBIE
They appear in the great hall. They are weak, but unexpectedly tenacious as they emerge one after another.
BATS (I & II)
Type I will fly in a waveform path. Type II will lunge at you abruptly.		 PANTHER
They appear in the first stage. They start running when you reach a certain distance.
FISH MAN
They will suddenly emerge from the water and spit fire at the player.		 ARMOR
Their movement is sluggish, but they will not die from a single blow.
MEDUSA
They fly around in a waveform pattern. It is surprisingly simple to evade them with a jump.		 CROW
They aim while flapping their wings. Their movements are unpredictable.
HUNCHBACK
A repulsive foe who eerily stares and trembles as you approach. They hop around quickly, so aim for the moment they land on the ground.		 GHOST
It is crucial to attack them when they are fixated on you.
WHITE SKELETON
They will toss bones at you while keeping a distance.		 RED SKELETON
No matter how many times they are felled, they will always revive.
BONE TOWER
It emits fire irregularly. Very durable, and difficult to defeat if you do not attack it continuously.		 AXE ARMOR
The axes they throw will return to them like a boomerang.
WHITE DRAGON
They breathe out fireball projectiles while undulating their necks. Let's attack them with the chain whip.		 GIANT EAGLE
They only show up to transport the hunchbacks. It is best to hit the hunchbacks right after they drop.


■ SUB-WEAPONS

POCKET WATCH DAGGER AXE
Stops the movement of all enemies on the screen. Using it reduces your number of hearts by five. (Does not work against bosses after Block 3.) Its power is slight, but it travels straight toward the enemy at a fast speed. It disappears when it hits enemies or ornamental candles. Its power is great, but the speed is somewhat slow. It travels in a parabolic path.

HOLY WATER CROSS
Its power is great, but the speed is slow. After being thrown, it will break on the floor and combust. You can burn enemies in the fire. Its speed is slow, but it has the greatest power. It will rebound at varying points, like when it hits a wall for example.


■ OTHER ITEMS

HEART
Increases the number of times a sub-weapon can be used. (One point each.)		 BIG HEART
It has the same effect of five smaller hearts.
ROSARIO
It will annihilate all of the enemies on the screen.		 INVISIBILITY POTION
Allows you to become invulnerable for a certain amount of time.
CHAIN
Increases the power of the whip up to two additional levels. (First is the chain, second is the long chain.)		 MONEY BAG
Adds 100 points (red bag), 400 points (blue bag), or 700 points (white bag) to your score.
2 RAPID SHOT
Allows the sub-weapon to be thrown 2 times consecutively. Appears when you destroy enemies or ornaments ten times in a row with the same item.		 3 RAPID SHOT
Allows the sub-weapon to be thrown 3 times consecutively. Appears when you destroy enemies or ornaments ten times in a row with the same item.
MEAT
Restores some of the player's vitality. Appears if you whip certain locations of the screen.		 MAGIC POWER SPHERE
Completely restores the player's vitality. By taking this, a block of the castle will be cleared.


■ BOSS ENEMIES

VAMPIRE BAT MEDUSA MUMMY MEN
They evade your whip and attack from overhead. If you use the axe or clock, you can easily defeat them. The second strong enemy. She usually hides as a stone statue, but reveals her true nature when approached. The clock, holy water, and cross are effective against her. The third major obstacle. Given that they are twins, they will attack in a pincer movement. In addition, they will fling off bandages in a wavelike pattern.

FRANKENSTEIN & H.B. DEATH DRACULA
The hunchback will make this fight much more complicated by throwing fireballs at you. Acts as an adjutant of Dracula's castle. He makes sickles appear from everywhere on the screen that target the player. The cross is an effective weapon. ???
