Swing Whip

In some games, the whip can be used to cling to grapples and allow to pass impassable obstacles otherwise.

This technique was introduced for the first time in the series in Super Castlevania IV, but will be repeated only in a few games later: Castlevania: Bloodlines, Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate.
