Old Man	Castlevania II: Simon's Quest / Jova / Old Man #2 [edit] When: Speaking with the second Old Man on the upper level. "A CROOKED TRADER IS OFFERING BUM DEALS IN THIS TOWN." NOTES: version: マチニハ カクレテショウハ゛イヲ スルハ゛イニンカ゛ イル "There are merchants hiding in towns doing business." Assessment: There really are no crooked traders in this town, his only purpose may be to try to dissuade you from buying the items found in this town. Ignore him.
Priest	Castlevania II: Simon's Quest / Jova / Priest [edit] When: Speaking with the Priest in the church on the upper level. "REST HERE FOR A WHILE." NOTES: version: ココテ゛ カラタ゛ヲヤスメテイキナサレチチト コトセイレイノナニオイテア-メン "Rest your body here and go in peace, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen." Assessment: The priest will heal all your wounds after being spoken to. There is no reason to enter the church if you have a full health bar. This is the first priest you encounter and he is located in the first church you will find.
Old Man	Castlevania II: Simon's Quest / Jova / Old Man #3 [edit] When: Speaking with the old man on the middle level. "13 CLUES WILL SOLVE DRACULA'S RIDDLES." NOTES: version: 13サツノ カクサレシフ゛ンケンヲヒモトクトキナソ゛ハ トカレル "When you peruse the 13 hidden documents, the mystery will be solved." Assessment: Clues, which appear as books, are hidden throughout the game and there are indeed 13 of them. The townsfolk will often tell you where to try to find these clues.
Middle Level
Merchant	Castlevania II: Simon's Quest / Jova / Thorn Whip Merchant [edit] When: Speaking with Merchant in the shop in the center section of the mid-level. "BUY A THORN WHIP?" NOTES: version: イハ゛ラノ ムチヲカッテユカヌカ? "Will you buy the Thorn Whip and go?" Assessment: He will sell you a Thorn Whip for 100 hearts. This has double the attack of the Leather Whip that you started out with and will make traveling to far away areas much easier.
Townsman	Castlevania II: Simon's Quest / Jova / Townsman #1 [edit] When: Speaking with one of the Townsmen on the middle level. "RUMOR HAS IT, THE FERRYMAN AT DEAD RIVER LOVES GARLIC." NOTES: version: テ゛ット゛リハ゛-ノセント゛ウハニンニクカ゛コウフ゛ツトキイタコトカ゛アル "I have heard that the ferryman of the Dead River loves garlic." Assessment: The Dead River is to the left of Jova, but the ferry man doesn't like garlic. Some of the details may have been lost in transmission - the Ferry Man wants another item instead and other Gypsies love garlic.
Townsman	Castlevania II: Simon's Quest / Jova / Townsman #2 [edit] When: Speaking with one of the Townsmen on the middle level. "A FLAME IS ON TOP OF THE 6TH TREE IN DENIS WOODS." NOTES: version: セイナルホノオカ゛テ゛ニスノモリノ6ハ゛ンメノ キノウエニアル "The Sacred Flame is on top of the sixth tree in Denis Woods."

Near as anyone can tell, no such "flame" exists on the in 6th tree in the forest.
Merchant	Castlevania II: Simon's Quest / Jova / White Crystal Merchant [edit] When: Speaking with Merchant on the mid-level street on the right. "BUY A WHITE CRYSTAL?" NOTES: version: シロスイショウヲカッテユカヌカ? "Will you buy the White Crystal and go?" Assessment: He will sell you a White Crystal for 50 hearts. This crystal will allow you to enter the first mansion. Despite what Old Man #1 told you, it would probably be wiser to buy the other two weapons sold in this town first, since this will make collecting hearts easier. Note that this is the only merchant found out on the streets of any town, while the others are indoors.
Merchant	Castlevania II: Simon's Quest / Jova / Holy Water Merchant [edit] When: Speaking with Merchant inside the shop on the mid-level street on the right. "WANT TO BUY HOLY WATER?" NOTES: version: セイスイヲカッテユカヌカ? "Will you buy the Holy Water and go?" Assessment: He will sell you Holy Water for 50 hearts, which you will need to fight creatures below you and can break some blocks on the ground, revealing hidden areas. Most indoor merchants in other towns require breaking blocks to reach.

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.
Old Man	Castlevania II: Simon's Quest / Jova / Old Man #5 [edit] When: Speaking with one of the Old Men on the lower level. "A MAGIC POTION WILL DESTROY THE WALL OF EVIL." NOTES: version: セイスイニアクマハ クルシミシ゛ャアクノカヘ゛ハクタ゛ケル "Holy water deals suffering to devils and crumbles evil walls." Assessment: This is a hint that Holy Water, which can be bought in this town, can destroy some walls and floor areas. The Japanese version also hints that it can damage enemies.
Townsman	Castlevania II: Simon's Quest / Jova / Townsman #3 [edit] When: Speaking with the Townsman on the lower level. "CLUES TO DRACULA'S RIDDLE ARE FOUND IN THE TOWN OF VEROS." NOTES: version: ト゛ラキュラノ ナソ゛ヲトク フ゛ンケンカ゛ヘ゛ロスノマチニネムルトツタエラレテイル "It is said that the documents to solve Dracula's mystery lie dormant in the town of Veros."

NOTES: version: Assessment: This villager might be confused or misdirecting you as there is nothing at the fourth grave in the nearby Storigoi Graveyard. Perhaps a Gypsy has already dug up the grave and obtained the Diamond, or has rose from his grave with his Diamond? At least he's suggesting doing something at graveyards. If Garlic can damage enemies, maybe they can help dig up a grave? There does appear to be a "bottomless" pit at the fourth grave in Camilla Cemetery though - but nothing but death down there.
