Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Treasure Chests and What They Hold
Every Treasure Chest in Castlevania Belmont’s Curse gives you something to keep. Of the 21 chests on our maps, 12 contain a Relic and 9 contain a weapon, and a handful wait behind Holy Light, the Arcane Whip, or a timed lever. The Catacombs have the largest share, so the Castlevania Belmont’s Curse Catacombs of Paris map of the Hall of the Fallen Angels is the best place to start opening lids.
Each of these chests was opened during Alexandru Popescu’s Map Master run, and the Castlevania Belmont’s Curse wiki and interactive map places them alongside everything else in the game. No chest on our maps is empty or random, so knowing what’s inside tells you which ones to chase first.
What’s in Every Castlevania Belmont’s Curse Treasure Chest
These 12 are every chest Relic the Relic guide lists, from the Obsidian Fang to Witch’s Knot, so opening chests is how you build a Relic loadout. The other nine give weapons such as the Bastard Sword, the Lance, the Rapiers, and Durandal, close to a third of the game’s 28, and the weapon locations for all 28 cover the rest.
Open the Seer’s Hovel chest early. It contains the Crypt Key, which fully restores Rose’s health and mana every time she opens a chest, so every chest after it doubles as a free heal. The 12 chest Relics and their bonuses go into each bonus in detail, and the Castlevania Belmont’s Curse Seer’s Hovel interactive map leads you to the Crypt Key.
Treasure Chest Locations by Region in Castlevania Belmont’s Curse
The Catacombs have six chests and the Library has five, which makes those two regions more than half the set. The Library’s five are spread across the Rhetoric Shelves, which has two, the Condemned Shelves, the Fine Arts Shelves, and Lisa’s Laboratory, where Durandal waits in the open. The Library map of the Condemned Shelves covers the star-jump climb to its chest.
Paris Streets has four, the Main Hall three, and Holy Innocents’ Cemetery two. The Paris Streets map of the Justice District Sewers leads to the Bastard Sword, the Main Hall map of the Watch Tower covers all three castle chests, and the Holy Innocents’ Cemetery map of the upper fountain leads to the Lance.
Treasure Chests That Need Abilities or Quick Platforming
Two chests are gated by abilities you earn later. The Guard Level chest with the Obsidian Fang needs Holy Light, which is Joan’s Holy Light reward, so the Prison Tower map of the Guard Level deserves a return trip after her fight. The Sewer Reservoir chest with the Cestus needs the Arcane Whip from The Fallen.
The Watch Tower chest is the hardest to reach. Its iron door closes again soon after you pull the Watch Tower lever, and the lower path won’t get you there in time. Several others are tucked into hidden rooms with chests, including the Throat of Hell, the Abandoned Workshop, and the top of the Rhetoric Shelves.
Which Treasure Chests Should You Open First in Castlevania Belmont’s Curse?
Start with the Crypt Key, the Twilight Gem, and Witch’s Knot. The Crypt Key turns every later chest into a heal, the Twilight Gem in the Central Sewer Drain is one of the first Relics you can reach, and Witch’s Knot in the West Hall makes every potion restore Rose to full.
Hidden Areas count toward the Progress percentage, so the chests tucked inside them do double duty on a 100% run. Weapons can wait until you know which style suits you, while Relics change how you fight from the moment you equip them.
