Key information
Players navigating Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse may encounter a progression obstacle involving Death’s trap and a clock that prematurely transports Rose to Dracula’s lair. To avoid the game's worst ending, players must explore alternative paths, including a hidden area represented by a painting of Notre Dame Cathedral located in the Main Hall.
Accessing this hidden location requires specific preparation. Players must first locate and defeat the boss known as Talos, who is described as an extremely well-hidden adversary requiring puzzle-solving skills to reach. Detailed instructions for locating this boss are provided within the game's Clock Tower guide.
Upon defeating Talos, players earn a technique capable of shattering barriers and objects marked by a yellow glow. This ability is essential for destroying a marble statue near the Notre Dame painting, which serves as a prerequisite for unlocking the Artist Arcana and eventually bringing the cathedral painting to life.
