The Castle Hall is a location in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate. It is the fifth area Simon Belmont explores, with the Night Watchman acting as the boss.

Overview

Simon's journey

A hole in the ground gives way up into the main hall, whose left side shows that the previously unreachable entrance has since been forcibly opened by the skeletal remains of some humongous creature. Moving right, Simon will spot a scaven, which flees on sight; giving chase through the pillared corridors will lead him to the game's first real boss encounter.

After the boss fight, Simon will continue to the hall's right side, where he'll find no further access--the path barred by a locked door. Instead, he'll have to retreat a bit and ride an elevator, which will carry him down into the next area.

Trevor's journey

The area was explored previously by Trevor Belmont and appears as the eighth area in his journey. It is filled with intimidating suit-of-armor displays and other disturbing architecture. Trevor's trek through the cold castle halls is further soured by the appearance of a possessed armor and then a meeting with the Lost Soul, who has a dire warning for him. Heeding none of it, Trevor continues to the right, where some Giant Bats swarm about; beyond their patrol is another sealed door, which can only be opened by turning a switch located on an upper level (as noted by a hand-holding cinematic).

After yet another display of grappling, ledge-climbing, and box-pushing, he'll find the switch within a room filled with debris and crumbled woodwork. As he run back, the floor will collapse, dropping him back down to the first level and into the waiting arms of some Knight Vampires. After a quick tangle with these fanged fiends, he can finally pass through the door and enter into the next area.

Enemies Encountered on Simon's Journey
	Scaven  - Mirror of Fate				[ edit ]
	These reanimated corpses eat and infect the dead remains of other creatures, with many sections of the castle threatening to become infested with them. The scavens are a sort of living dead, commanded by the Night Watchman whose power has transcended the limits of witchcraft to take on a more tangible and dangerous form.	Weak: Throwing Axe, Oil Flask, Bat Projectile Difficulty: 1/5 HP: 25 Exp: 10	Drop: 10 Magic	Castle Hall, Terrace
	Flying Scaven  - Mirror of Fate				[ edit ]
	Some scavens mutate with violent convulsions to develop wings that they use to rise well above their terrestrial prey. Often pouncing on unsuspecting visitors and feeding on their still living bodies, these creatures suck the very soul out of any unfortunate enough to come across them.	Weak: Throwing Axe, Oil Flask Difficulty: 1/5 HP: 50 Exp: 35	Drop: 15 Magic	Castle Hall
	Night Watchman  - Mirror of Fate				[ edit ]
	Although dead for many years, a terrible curse has prevented the Night Watchman from leaving the world of the living. His only reason to exist is to keep the torches and lanterns lit, keeping intruders away. Accompanied by his scavens, he wanders the castle corridors until the breeze that comes when a new visitor arrives causes his cold and prized light to flicker once again.	Difficulty: 3/5 HP: 1200 Exp: 500		Castle Hall
Enemies Encountered on Trevor's Journey
	Possessed Armor  - Mirror of Fate				[ edit ]
	The spirits wandering the castle, tire of the living that disturb their rest and so possess the enormous suits of armor that adorn the corridors. With their enormous mace, they easily smash the unwary, while the hard armor protects their cold inner flame.	Difficulty: 3/5 HP: 650 Exp: 175	Drop: 50 Magic (x2)	Castle Entrance, Castle Hall, Guards Room, Belfry
	Giant Bat  - Mirror of Fate				[ edit ]
	With the arrival of the vampires, the bats accustomed to the darkness and putrefaction of the lower sections of the castle, began to feed on the blood that their new masters offered them. Quickly, these tiny, defenseless creatures grew disproportionately and became dangerous predators, devouring creatures that had once preyed upon them.	Weak: Boomerang Difficulty: 2/5 HP: 95 Exp: 60		Unholy Church, Castle Hall, Games Room, Cells, Vertical Prison
	Knight Vampire  (Vampire Knight) [alt] - Mirror of Fate				[ edit ]
	Following the death of Carmilla and Laura: a new, purer lineage of vampire arose in the castle formed via a deep bond with their new lord. This species is characterized by its cunning, speed and savage cruelty in combat. The next stage of vampire evolution has produced a species that is both beauty and the beast with an insatiable blood lust.	Difficulty: 3/5 HP: 250 Exp: 90	Drop: 30 Magic	Vampire's Tower, Throne Entrance, Castle Hall
