The ghost from before gives us an objective, we have to save the heart of Talos from the corruption or else we’ll lose essentially. So we start to make our way down with are mostly complete armor, save for Gaia not having max damage yet. We find more and more musicians while also dealing with a lot more mini bosses on our way through technically one of the sub sections of the castle. But then before we cap off this part of the adventure, we deal with the most Castlevania boss in the game, a creature that is essentially Death. It has to be a death analogue given Europa feels cold in it’s presence. He technically has a move we’ll see again but that’s much later.
