In this Castlevania: Belmont's Curse walkthrough, we pick up right after "defeating" The Artist, and now head back to Library to hunt down the Occultist and complete the first "trio" of bosses that wrap up what we consider the early to mid part of the game.

You will see numbers in parentheses after many timestamps, those indicate the number of the particular item we have found in each specific map/biome to that point in the game. If you follow our walkthrough videos, these will continue to be tracked throughout.

Also know this is a walkthrough where we will be getting all endings, relics, weapons, heart fragments, clues, and completing all Arcana.
