Castlevania: Belmont's Curse The Prophetess Clue Locations

Alexandru Popescu spoke to the Sepulcher Spirit on his Map Master run, and the Castlevania Belmont’s Curse map tracker follows the rest of the hunt beneath the graveyard. The set is reported to have four Clues in all, each one a piece of the guards’ story and a warning about the fight ahead.

Where to Find The Prophetess Clues in Castlevania Belmont’s Curse

Roman Baths is the first Clue, logged the moment you speak to the Spirit in the Sepulcher of the Knight. You reach it by entering the Cemetery from the east and heading through the Cloister, and the Spirits that give out Clues include five more across Paris and the Catacombs.

The other three are reported to come from Spirits deeper in the Cemetery. Cemetery Fountain is said to wait at the Fountain of the Innocents, Guardian’s Gaze on an upper ledge in the Roman Baths, and The Roots of the Hollow Tree in an alcove of the Pauper’s Grave, a few steps from its Mirror of Life.

What The Prophetess Clues Tell You About Medusa

Read together, the Clues are a warning. Roman Baths says the Captain’s hunt “did not go well,” and Guardian’s Gaze reportedly describes a fighter who froze in place after seeing the eyes, a clear hint at Medusa’s stare. Cemetery Fountain is said to point to a drop through the fountain into the Serpents’ Lair, one of the ways down to Medusa.

The Roots of the Hollow Tree is the odd one out, reportedly telling of a sister who vanished, perhaps beneath the tree’s roots. Three of the four lie along the path to Medusa’s lair, so you’ll collect most of the set simply by pushing toward the fight, then return for the last Spirit near the Pauper’s Grave.

How to Beat Medusa and Complete The Prophetess Clues

Turn Rose away from Medusa whenever she readies her Petrifying Gaze, because facing her when it lands reportedly turns you to stone. The arena is a set of platforms over water, so use them to slip past her arm and tail strikes, attack when a combo ends, and duck behind the fallen boulder during her beam. The Medusa boss fight covers the rest of the fight.

Beating her completes the trail and gives you The Prophetess Arcana, the Petrifying Gaze spell, and the Prophetess’s Key for the Catacombs gate, the second of the three keys. Her defeat is also reported to open access to the Rusted Harpè and Aegis, a weapon set that fits the myth.

Is Medusa the Second Boss in Castlevania Belmont’s Curse?

Yes, Medusa is the second boss, right after The Fallen, and she’s part of the fixed opening order that runs through Joan and Death before the castle opens up. All four Prophetess Clues count toward the Greatest Detective trophy, a tenth of the 40 it asks for.

Save before you drop into the Serpents’ Lair. Two Mirrors are on the way, on the eastern side of the Cloister and in the western room of the Ancient Sewers, and these Cemetery Mirrors of Life are your safest restart points if the gaze catches you.
