Origins is the fourth DLC stage of Castlevania: Harmony of Despair and the Tenth stage overall. The level is based on the whole Castlevania map and it features Vampire Killer as the default stage music and Nothing to Lose as the boss theme, both of which originated from the original NES game. All enemies and bosses are in 8-bit sprites. Bosses include the Phantom Bat, Medusa, Mummies, The Creature, Death and Dracula. Released on January 26th, 2011. The version of Simon Belmont that is from the same game is also available as a separate DLC playable character. The map is a replica of the entire castle of the original Castlevania, with minor changes to fit the gameplay style (and to correctly connect the areas).

Overview

Stages from the original Castlevania are played in succession, with each block boss treated as a miniboss. These include:

• Block 1 (Castle Entrance) - R. Phantom Bat
• Block 2 (Red Brick Cathedral) - R. Medusa
• Block 3 (Courtyard) - R. Mummy Man
• Block 4 (Underground Waterway) - R. The Creature
• Block 5 (Dungeon) - R. Grim Reaper
• Block 6 (Clock Tower, Castle Keep) - R. The Count
