Entrance (Portrait of Ruin)

The Entrance is a location of Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, and the opening stage.

Description and Story
After splitting with Vincent Dorin at the outset, the duo of Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin will leave the dark forest and enter into the castle via its drawbridge. Somewhat indicative of its past incarnations, traveled through will be pillared halls with above them rooms lined with familiar-looking curtained windows. In one particularly long room, the duo will have to break through cracked pillars that block the path forward, a task made more urgent by the appearance of the Behemoth, which will bulldoze through the rubble and chase them all the way until (for now) relieving them of its presence. With the help of pushable statue, the duo will enter into a large chandeliered enclave where they'll meet Wind and reunite with Vincent, who opens shop in the very next room. Completion of Wind's early tests will gain the duo access to the first painting--the City of Haze, where they'll earn the Acrobat Cube. After returning, they can use said cube to reach the area's end and settle the score with the Behemoth. The duo can later pass through the top portion of the Entrance, the almost skeletal remains of the previous chapels, for easier access to the Great Stairway. They can also return here at any time to complete more of Wind's quests, one of those final granting them access to a hidden painting, the Nest of Evil, which resides in this very area.
