Castlevania: Belmont's Curse The Occultist Clues and Star Patterns
Carmilla wants Brauner’s paintbrush, and The Occultist’s five Clues in Castlevania Belmont’s Curse follow her plot from his Atelier to the stars above the Library. The first is a letter in the Main Hall, the other four are in the Library, and three of them hand you star patterns that open the way to Carmilla’s Observatory. The Castlevania Belmont’s Curse Library map of the Observation Tower covers most of the work.
Alexandru Popescu worked through every star pattern on his Map Master run, and the Castlevania Belmont’s Curse interactive maps connect the Library to the rest of the castle. This is one of the most puzzle-heavy Clue sets in the game, so gather all the patterns before you start jumping.
Where to Find The Occultist Clues in Castlevania Belmont’s Curse
Carmilla in the Library is the first Clue, a note in the Brauner’s Atelier hidden area, the same secret room an Alucard painting points you toward. The Main Hall map of Brauner’s Atelier gets you to the room, and the note itself simply points you toward the Library.
The other four wait in the Library. Magical Brush comes from the Cursed Statue at the bottom of the Observation Tower, Star Chart from a chart in the Astronomer’s Office, Organic Astrology from a desk behind a locked door in the Drawing Room, and Blood Poem from a table in the Natural Philosophy Shelves.
How to Solve The Occultist Clue Star Puzzles
Star Chart, Organic Astrology, and Blood Poem each give you a pattern to copy. You reproduce it by jumping on the matching stars in several rooms, three sets for the first, five for the second, and four for the third, so 12 star sets in all. The Planetarium has one set for each pattern, which makes it the room you’ll keep coming back to.
The Planetarium’s three globes are the heart of the puzzle, and each one takes a different pattern. Landing on a wrong planet reportedly resets that globe, so check the pattern before every attempt. Solving them in turn adds a new bounce point, raises the next platform, and finally opens the climb through the Observation Tower toward Carmilla.
What The Occultist Clues Reveal About Carmilla and Brauner’s Brush
Brauner’s letter refuses, very politely, to lend Carmilla his brush, and the Magical Brush verse reveals that one of her cultists stole it anyway. Star Chart is page 696 of a research diary whose plan needs the right alignment and “more livestock,” likely the same diary that turns up as a lone page among the Library lore pages. Read alongside The Artist Clue trail, the two sets tell one story from both sides.
Carmilla waits in the Observatory at the top of the climb, and the Carmilla boss strategy covers the fight. Beating her gives you the Occultist Arcana and Blood Spikes, and the stolen brush waits on a desk on the western side of the room, ready for the Brauner’s Paintbrush pickup that opens the Notre-Dame painting.
Can You Skip the Library Star Puzzles in Castlevania Belmont’s Curse?
No, the star puzzles are the way to Carmilla, and she’s one of the bosses the story requires. All five Clues count toward the Greatest Detective trophy, which makes The Occultist one of the largest sets in the game and an eighth of the 40 Clues you need.
Collect all three patterns before you touch the Planetarium’s globes, since each one needs a different pattern and a mistake only costs you a restart. Log Carmilla in the Library on your first trip through Brauner’s Atelier, then save the star work for one focused session in the Library.
