Simon Belmont Specific Tips

• Wisely use your sub-weapon!
  • The Dagger, despite its weakness, is the longest-ranged hostile sub-weapon.
  • The Axe gives you a good vertical-ranged attack. Its arcing motion is a bit tricky, though.
  • The Cross can give multiple hits to the enemy in front of you and also hit enemies behind.
  • The Stopwatch allows multiple strategies based on the enemies' frozen state. Very useful in bridge levels.
  • The Holy Water has got a tricky motion, but it gives a lot of hits every bottle, which can also be used to keep an enemy stuck for a moment, allowing you to whip it wildly meanwhile.

Original Game

Simon Belmont is from Castlevania for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Differences From the Original Game
