About this guide and recent updates

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is a 2D Metroidvania set in 1499 Paris, starring Rose Belmont — Trevor and Sypha Belmont's daughter — as she wields the Vampire Killer to drive the monsters out of her burning city. The game centers on a 22-card Arcana tarot system where every boss you defeat is sealed into a card and joins you as a passenger, plus seven weapon classes with 28 weapons and a 3-Relic build layer. Below are the guides that cover each piece.
