The Guards Room is the sixth area Simon explores in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate. Previously, it was explored by Trevor, being the tenth area in his journey.

Overview

Simon's journey

The elevator's doors open, emptying our hero into the Guard's Room. Immediately, he'll find a switch that controls a nearby gate. That switch must be jerked to the left repeatedly to keep the gate sliding upward, where it'll eventually lock in place; any stall in the action will see the door immediately slam down to its closed position.

Opening the gate sounds trivial until you consider that zombies will be endlessly emerging from the ground while you attempt to do so, putting Simon in a position where he'll have to tactically clear the field while trying to find time to open the gate. Once the deed is done, he'll move forward a few steps to find his old friend the Lost Soul, whose appearance confirms that Simon is moving in the correct direction.

Trevor's journey

It is where Dracula's armored underlings like to hang out, but it's otherwise nondescript. From Trevor's perspective, it's a few stairways leading down to another locked gate and two larger chambers in which the switch lay. This switch's activation will beckon the appearance of an annoying Hunchback Troop ; complicating matters is that a Possessed Armor will saunter into the background and occasionally swing forward its mace, disrupting Trevor's movements. He'll have to eventually deal with and destroy that very same armor if he hopes to advance forward. When things have calmed down, he can grab some easy-to-spot loot and then exit right.

Enemy Data

Enemy Data: Guards Room
Image	Name - Game Description	Statistics	Items	Location	Notes
Enemies encountered by Simon
	Zombie  - Mirror of Fate				[ edit ]
	Bitten, infected and stripped of the slightest power of reason, many humans have ended up lost in the castle in search of fresh brains. Their clumsy attacks and fragile bodies are compensated for by their ironclad insistence on devouring their victims, even after being dismembered.	Weak: Throwing Axe, Oil Flask Difficulty: 1/5 HP: 20 Exp: 5	Drop: 5 Magic	Cursed Village, Castle's Outer Wall, Deadly Waterfalls, Guards Room
Enemies encountered by Trevor
	Armored Skeleton  (Armor Skeleton) - Mirror of Fate				[ edit ]
	Fearsome to behold and much more skilled than the rest of the castle denizens, armored skeletons hold a special place of honor amongst the armies of the Dragon. The same spell that keeps them on their feet is also used to fill them with the false hope that they continue to serve the cause for which they were trained in life.	Weak: Boomerang Difficulty: 2/5 HP: 225 Exp: 65	Drop: 25 Magic	Castle Entrance, Crypt, Cemetery, Entrance Bridge, Guards Room
	Hunchback  (Fleaman) - Mirror of Fate				[ edit ]
	A group of nomadic dwarves settled inside the castle and began to work on its reconstruction, as if it were their own home. Apparently harmless, they have survived thanks to their cunning, teamwork and disgusting gastronomical taste based on different ways of cooking carrion found along the way.	Weak: Throwing Axe, Boomerang Difficulty: 1/5 HP: 35 Exp: 15	Drop: 5 Magic	Kitchen, Library, Guards Room, Belfry
	Hunchback Troop  (Fleaman Troop) - Mirror of Fate				[ edit ]
	When threatened, the hunchbacks come together to form a greater force. After drawing lots for their combat positions, they charge blindly against any creature that is hostile. For the duration of the fight, they never separate and never give up until they have a new course to add to the soup.	Weak: Boomerang Difficulty: 2/5 HP: 240 Exp: 70	Drop: 15 Magic	Kitchen, Toy Maker's Workshop, Carousel's Engine, Guards Room
	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
