Desmond Zoe Dolores	Castlevania: Order of Shadows / The Mansion / Entering the Mansion [edit] Summary: After receiving a tip from Giovanni, a descendant of Rinaldo Gandolfi, three Belmont siblings arrive at the mansion that The Order is convening at, hidden within a meadow near Eternal Night. Desmond will clear out as much of the mansion of foes as possible while Zoe and Dolores search for the Inner Sanctum and sacrificial alter that Rohan Krause is expected to be found at. Full text - [transcript]: Desmond: This is The Order's mansion. Zoe: Yes, Giovanni was correct, that it would be hidden within a meadow near Eternal Night. This is where The Order convenes. Dolores: Zoe and I will search the mansion, we need to find the Inner Sanctum and the sacrificial altar. There we will find Rohan Krause. Desmond: I will clear out as much of the mansion as I can. Please be careful.
Desmond Zoe	Castlevania: Order of Shadows / The Bat's Belfry / Defeating Twin Bats [edit] Summary: Zoe makes sure that Desmond is okay after his battle with The Order's twin giant bats. She hasn't had much luck so far finding the Inner Sanctum, but maybe Dolores has had better luck. She did, however, find a useful magical item - the enchanted gauntlet that Giovanni had told them about that his ancestor (Rinaldo Gandolfi) had given to their ancestor (Leon Belmont) that enables its wearer to use alchemy - and gives it to Desmond. She then tells Desmond about a cave they had found. Full text - [transcript]: Zoe: Desmond, are you hurt?!? Desmond: No, I'm fine. The Order must have great power, these creatures are becoming increasingly powerful. Zoe: Dolores and I have been searching the grounds. It appears that everything is interconnected. We have yet to find the Inner Sanctum, but we did find this. Desmond: What is it? Zoe: This is the enchanted gauntlet that Giovanni mentioned to us. If it's true that his ancestor gave this to ours, then you will be able to channel alchemy through it. Desmond: Thank you. Zoe: I must find Dolores, she may have found something by now. Oh, before we part ways, she and I did find the location of a strange den-looking cave. Desmond: I do not recall seeing what you're describing. Where is it? Zoe: Near the giant pillars and down a staircase. You must go underground. Desmond: Understood. Be safe.
