The Forest of Doom is a location in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and is the fourth portrait in the game.

Overview[]

This portrait is a murky swamp, complete with an abandoned sorcery academy, now filled with monsters. The portrait resembles an old academy's yard filled with dead trees. It clearly remarks the abandonment of the Forest of Doom. The academy is filled to the brim with hostile forest spawn, living in the once beautiful academy whose halls and stairs are now dilapidated and coated with moss patches and plantlife. The sun shines lifelessly over the halls, thus remarking that it has been forgotten for a really long time. This level features enemies such as Treants, Maneating Plants and Frogs.

At a certain point, the player must jump down an underground passage working as a storage area in the past. The passage is dark, outside of mild illumination surrounding the player. Care must be taken to not be damaged by the copious numbers of Frogs hiding in the darkness.

The level's boss is Dagon, a fish-like creature with a tail that has a separate head that looks like a frog. Curiously, this is the only moment in the game that has water where Jonathan Morris/Charlotte Aulin/Richter Belmont/Maria Renard/the Old Axe Armor can swim without needing an upgrade that enables free swimming (like in Dawn of Sorrow or Order of Ecclesia's swimming ability).
