After I beat the big skeleton dude, what do I do? I have slide, but I can’t figure out where to go

I tried this game, and hated it from the start. Something just rubbed me the wrong way about it.

Good job on completely ignoring his post that seemed to ask for some help, not an opinion on the game. ur band fan, toly band

As for what you’re asking, um, I cant recall immediately, but after looking on gamefaqs I found:

gamefaqs:

After this battle, recover via the orb that falls from the ceiling. Then,
continue into the next room and claim the Sylph Feather relic! Now would be a
good time to consult the Max Increase items list to see what you needed the
Sylph Feather to reach, and claim those items now. When you’re ready to
continue, from the room where you got this relic, go back to the previous
room, then continue east to the following room. Get to the northeast corner
of the room, then double jump to the high ledge and continue into a new room.
There, go east into yet another room. Defeat the Big Skeleton and move on to
the next room; defeat the 4 Throw Masters and continue into the last room.
There, drop down into one more room where you’ll find a HP Max Increase item.

Now, go back up to the previous room, and make your way all the west through
5 rooms, until you reach the end of the line. In that end room, drop down the
ledges while defeating the Flying Skeleton enemies along the way. At the
bottom, go west into the next room. Go west there and whip the wooden board
to lower the giant rock structure so you can jump onto it. Make your way all
the way north through this room while defeating the Throw Masters. When you
reach the end, take the Leather Cap. Since there’s noplace further you can
visit here at this point, backtrack a few rooms and make your way to the Save
Room (consult the map if you need help). Once there, it’s time to backtrack a
bit more; this time to Juste’s Room. When you get there, redecorate with the
new collectibles you’ve found, then exit the room.

Castle’s Treasury

Outside of Juste’s Room, jump up the ledges to the top and go through the
ceiling into another room. In this long hall, take the east path to reach a
new room. There, double jump to the upper ledge next to the elevator. Enter
the elevator and press Up to make it pull you upward. Go all the way to the
top of the room in this manner, then go east and north into the next room.
Jump up the ledges to reach the top of this room as well, then double jump to
a high ledge with a Heart Max Increase item on it. Then, continue west and
over the pit, and take the Padded Armor in the northwest corner of the room.
Your work here is done for now, so go back east and south to exit here. Here,
go west to the elevator and ride it to the bottom of this room. Then,
continue south to the following room. Go west here until you reach the thin
floor; drop through it into the following room. There, drop down a few ledges
to the middle intersection. This time, go through the east door into the
Moss-Grown Cave.

Like I said, I cant remember, so if this doesnt help, gamefaqs ftw or something.

Yeah, one of the biggest problems with HoD for me was the fact that it’s not always obvious where to go next, so you may end up spending more time wandering around the castle than in most Castlevania games. So, it might be a good idea to have a walkthrough handy while playing…=/

Jango · February 3, 2006, 7:13pm

HoD is the Castlevania game you have to be experienced in the series to play without getting stuck every once in a while. Just remember to take note of all the areas you couldn’t reach earlier and think you’ll be able to after you get a certain ability. 'course, don’t take my word for it I couldn’t finish HoD due to my getting severly lost.

Varan_the_Red · February 3, 2006, 7:39pm

I also was unable to finish it. I got pretty far, but not quite far enough.

Miltank · February 3, 2006, 8:42pm

It’s good sometimes to not be set on a direct path you must follow. I liked Harmony.

Sorcerer · February 4, 2006, 1:02am

Uh, after beating the skelton guy I got the ability to slide, not double jump. I have no idea what that walk through is referring to.

Vorpy · February 4, 2006, 11:11am

Seriously, use a walkthrough. HoD can be really frustrating in certain parts.

I think Dracula’s body parts are so cursed that they not only harm the characters in the story, they harm the game itself. Simon’s Quest also had some really annoying parts that you’d really need a walkthrough to figure out, unless you have the pateince to try absolutely everything without getting any feedback from the game as to how close you are to figuring something out.

deadtear · February 4, 2006, 11:14am

My bad, like I said and then repeated, I cant remember the game, so sorry dude.

Evil_Dave · February 6, 2006, 7:21am

I’m playing this right now, Sorc, and I just got past that part. After you get the slide, you have to backtrack toward where you first entered the castle. I’m not sure specifically where. Just cover all the ground you already have again and you’ll find it. Its this long room with crazy psychadelic wavy lines going on in the background. I remember you’ll be walking right to left. When you reach the end of that room, there is a wall you can slide underneath. That lets you continue on in the castle.

I have a question myself. I keep picking up furniture and junk. I found the room to keep all of it, but what is this all for?

Zero · February 6, 2006, 7:36am

Evil Dave got it, I could probably point the spot on the map just by memory as I played HoD alot.

The furniture is a completion gimmick, doesn’t actually do shit.

Vorpy · February 6, 2006, 9:58am

You can use the furniture to pretend you are playing Animal Crossing.

Evil_Dave · February 6, 2006, 10:00am

Who would want a room in Dracula’s castle anyway?
