Saving Queen Eleanor in Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse takes time, sweat, and tears. Finding four seals across the game and fighting waves of enemies can be tough. In this guide, I’ll tell you the easiest way to solve this puzzle and beat this challenge so you can have a smoother game experience.
Breaking Seals one at a time:
How to Break the Mirror Seals in Belmont’s Curse
First, let’s go over the loop for each of these seals. You find mirrors of life with a special blue seal on them that mirror (pun intended) the seals around Queen Eleanor’s mirror. Kneel before them and let them take you to the hall of mirrors.
There you’ll find a hanging magic crystal above the mirror; jump and attack the crystal anchor and start an arena fight. Kill all the monsters that spawn, and the seal is broken; kneel again to go back to the real world.
All 4 Mirror Seal Locations in Belmont’s Curse
Now that we talked about the seal-breaking loop, let’s get down to business and find the locations of these mirrors.
Mirror Seal 1: Paris Streets — Prison Tower
Starting from the Paris streets, you can find the mirror seal in the following location.
List of enemies you face in the Prison Tower: Skeleton archer, Skeleton soldiers x2, Gargoyles x2, Peeping Eye, Bone pillars x8, and Hellhound x2.
Can be a very intense fight, especially when the two hellhounds join the fray. (Yes, they come together). I recommend taking out the gargoyles first, then the soldier and archer; that’s wave one. The peeping eye and pillars appear next; focus on the peeping eye first and then the pillars, as the rays from the eye can disrupt your combos. next. The final wave is two werewolves and a gargoyle. First, kill the gargoyle, then focus on the werewolves and kill them with an aggressive playstyle.
Mirror Seal 2: Main Hall — Archives
You can find the Archives mirror seal in the following location
List of enemies you face in the Archives: Axe Knight x1, Axe and Shield Knight x1, Skeleton soldier x1, Ectoplasm x1, Hellhound x1.
This fight has two phases. First, you fight the two knights. You can take them down with consistent aggression and some well-timed parries. The second phase is the annoying one. Kill the soldier fast and focus on the hellhounds. After these two, kill the ectoplasm.
Mirror Seal 3: Clock Tower — Mechanic’s Ascent
The path to this seal is as follows:
List of enemies you face in the Mechanic’s Ascent: Winged Lance Knights x2, Skeleton Archer x1, Ruler Sword x1, Hellhounds x2, Ice Shade x1
Get the Winged Lance Knights that appear on both sides of you to one side by stopping one from attacking with attacks and dodging the other one. When they are on the same side, keep attacking them and try to destroy them at the same time so you can easily take care of the soldier and the archer. Use the Soul Harvest if you have it on Ruler Sword and then just brute force your way through the hellhounds.
Mirror Seal 4: Notre-Dame — East Gallery
You can find the fourth mirror seal in Notre-Dame in the following location:
The list of enemies you face in the East Gallery: Skeleton Soldier x1, Skeleton Archer x1, Gargoyle x1, Axe Knight x1, Axe and Shield Knight x1, Harpy x1, Golem x1.
The first wave of the fight is easily manageable. Just one or two well-placed combos should take care of them all. The next wave brings the knights and a harpy. Kill the harpy first, then focus on the knight without a shield, and after that, the shielded one. The Golem comes last and just needs patience to kill. Time your attacks and dodge his greatly telegraphed attacks to overcome this challenge as well.
What Happens After Breaking All Four Mirror Seals?
After breaking all the seals, travel back to where you met Eleanor and watch a cutscene. Eleanor is kidnapped, and the seals on the mirror break. Kneel and enter the hall of mirrors.
Move through the confusing hall of mirrors and, at the end, face the temptress. She will at first make herself look like Sypha, but Rose won’t fall for that, and she will reveal her true form.
Beat her, and you will get her tarot card and a pointer on where to meet Eleanor. She will be waiting for Rose in the Holy Innocent’s Cemetery.
