 Old Man |
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest / Jova / Old Man #4 [edit] When: Speaking with one of the Old Men on the lower level. "YOU HAVE A FRIEND IN THE TOWN OF ALDRA, GO AND SEE HIM." NOTES:  version: アルト゛ラノマチニソナタノナカマカ゛ イルカナラス゛ アイナサレ"In the town of Aldra, your ally is there. Make sure to meet them." Assessment: There is indeed a friend waiting in Aldra. However, don't plan to find him any time soon if you just started the game and you will first need to meet a different friend before you can see him (ask another old man in Veros for details). The town of Aldra is right across the Dead River. When you have enough strength and the ability to summon the Ferryman, head left and allow the Ferryman to give you a ride across the river. The friend in question is most likely the Vampire Killer who will trade your blue crystal for a red one. | |
