Where to Find Joan of Arc in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse

Alexandru Popescu climbed the whole Prison Tower route on his Map Master run, and the Castlevania Belmont’s Curse guide follows Rose from that rooftop to the Catacombs. Both Clues log the moment a Spirit finishes speaking, so the real work is the climb and the fight at the top.

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

The Warrior is at the Top of the Tower comes first, from the Burned District Spirit. Its broken message says the guards trapped The Warrior at the top of the tower before the flames took them, and the NPC locations in Paris include this Spirit and the one that follows.

Carpenter’s Crane Sketch is the second, from the Spirit you reach by dropping between the spike walls of the Upper Tower. Getting there means working the tower’s drawbridges, and the Upper Tower levers move each bridge along with the Luminous Anchor fixed to it.

How to Complete The Warrior Clues and Reach the Prison Tower Roof

Carpenter’s Crane Sketch is the Clue that sets the task: take the elevator and follow the path up to the roof. Its hint says the fire keeps her at the top of the tower and warns about the cranes inside and out. The climb runs through the Guard Level, the Torture Level, and the Stairs to the Tower Roof before the Roof of the Tower itself.

Grab two ATK Up books on the way, since the Prison Tower has half of the ATK Up Skill Book locations on our maps. One lever on the Stairs to the Tower Roof is behind a Granite Wall, so leave it for later, because the power that clears those walls comes from the fight waiting at the top.

How to Beat Joan for the Final Warrior Clue

Patience wins this fight. Let Joan finish each sword string before you hit back, and when fire starts covering the roof, grapple away to a clear spot instead of trading blows in the flames. The arena only gets more dangerous as she burns more of it, and you can read up on how to beat Joan of Arc before you climb.

Beating Joan completes the set and gives you The Warrior Arcana, the Infernal Pyre spell, Holy Light, and The Warrior’s Key, the last of the three keys for the sealed Catacombs door. At 80 MP, the Infernal Pyre spell is the priciest of the early spells, so a bigger mana bar makes it far more useful.

What The Warrior Unlocks After Joan in Castlevania Belmont’s Curse

Holy Light lets Rose pass through Granite Walls, which opens rooms you may have walked past. The lever on the Stairs to the Tower Roof is one, and the De Rais Necropolis room in the Catacombs is another, so check the Granite Wall secrets once Joan is down.

Both Clues count toward the Greatest Detective trophy, 2 of the 40 it asks for. Joan returns for a tougher bout in Notre-Dame’s trial of Courage, and you’ll need Infernal Pyre equipped to start it, so hang on to that card if you’re chasing the true ending.
