"These cliffs were once the site of the local harvest celebration. Now, the fruitful land is withered and barren, and the sounds of laughter have long since died away."

— In-game description

Oblivion Ridge is a location in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. It reuses many background graphics from Misty Forest Road.

Overview

A withered and barren wasteland that was once the site of the local harvest celebration. Tristis Pass continues with the desolate landscape set by the previous area, now mostly at ground level with just some minor hills to traverse. Among a few other enemies, the area is mostly populated by Lizardmen, an endless flock of swooping Altairs, and Werewolves, which makes this place ideal for fulfilling Irina's second quest, "Do You Hear Howling?".

Midway through the level is where Shanoa will encounter a gigantic fish-like monster (described as a sand dragon) identified as Gravedorcus, the area's boss. It can travel underground at great speed and follows a set of specific patterns.

After defeating the boss and traveling through more barren lands, Shanoa eventually reaches an abandoned church where she once again meets Albus, although not before being unexpectedly trapped by him with his characteristic Torpor spell. Instead of presenting another piece of Dominus for her to absorb, he tries to do so himself; however, its power results to be too strong for him to handle and nearly succumbs to it. With no further business to do in that place, Albus escapes again, leaving Shanoa alone and wondering where should she go next, thus setting her way back to Ecclesia to ask Barlowe for advice.

It is also in this abandoned church where Shanoa can use her Sketch Book one last time to complete Daniela's third quest, "Tragic Memories".
