Brahm's Mansion (Japanese: ディムの館/ブラームの館 Dimu no yakata/Burāmu no yakata) is third accessible mansion in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest It is the first stop along a dead-end path that the Ferryman takes you to on the Dead River from the coast of the Belasco Marsh area when you present him Dracula's Heart, which is found at the end of Rover Mansion to the far east. Beyond the mansion, you need to cross another fork of the great river (upstream of the South Bridge) to reach the Jam Wasteland, where you can obtain a Diamond.
Brahm's Mansion is one of the most straight forward mazes, just simply head up, over, down, and over again in order to find the Gypsy Oak Stake merchant and the relic. You do not need to worry about fake floors or walls going this path. There is a section in the upper left of the mansion that you do not need to go to that requires walking through a fake wall in order to "get back". The mansion is populated by a wide variety of creatures that must be dealt with. Death guards the entrance to the relic housed in this mansion, Dracula's Eyeball. Death can be skipped in order to gain this relic, however, defeating Death will reward you with the Golden Knife, which is the most powerful dagger in the game. Dracula's eyeball allows you to see hidden clues and is needed in order to enter Dracula's Castle.
