"The moment of destiny is approaching. Head for the clock tower on the top floor."
— manual (translated)

Stage 7 of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood is called Hear Now the Requiem of Blood or Believe in the Dawn. This stage is the Clock Tower of the castle. Annette resides in this stage and must be rescued to get the best ending.

In the remake of Rondo of Blood, if the player does not rescue her, she will be bitten by Dracula, turned into a Lesser Vampire and must be defeated.

Richter's story (edit)
Castlevania: Rondo of Blood / 7. Clock Tower / Saving Annette

When: After saving Annette with Richter

(Richter calls Annette)

Richter: Annette!
Annette: Richter!
(Annette and Richter hugs together)
Richter: You aren't hurt?
Annette: No. Are you?
Richter: Nah, I'm fine. I'm overflowing with the blood of the vampire hunter, after all. I need to let a little out once in a while.
Annette: Oh, well then.
Richter: You head back to village without me. I'm going ahead. It's time to end this 100-year blood feud.
Annette: You mean...
Richter: Yeah. I'm going to kill him myself.
Annette: No, don't! It's too dangerous!
Richter: But this is my destiny. Besides, his blood is calling to me. The path up to here is safe. Now get going!
(Richter takes his leave)
Annette: Richter, wait! Richter! Come back... Come back in one piece... Please...

(Tears run down Annette's face)

Maria's story (edit)
Castlevania: Rondo of Blood / 7. Clock Tower / Saving Annette

When: After saving Annette with Maria

(Maria calls Annette)

Maria: Annette!
Annette: Oh, Maria!
(The two meets each other)
Annette: Are you all right, Maria?
Maria: Yeah. I'm just fine because I have the same vampire hunter's blood flowing in me as that man, Richter. I think he's fighting someplace else right now.
Annette: Richter's coming.
Maria: Oh, my. Looks like you hoped it wouldn't be me who came to save you.
Annette: Oh, no. That's not what I meant. Thank you very much, Maria. (smiles) Come on, let's go home.
Maria: Not yet! There's still something I have to do. You go back without me. I'm gonna beat that vampire to a bloody pulp! See you!
Annette: Maria!
(Maria takes her leave)

Annette: For heaven's sake, she can be as reckless as Richter!

(Annette turns into a vampire)
Annette: No. You're just in time. This is the first moment of our brand new life together.
Richter: Oh my God, Annette... I'm so sorry I didn't save you. But you know what I do to vampires. What I have to do.
Annette: No! I'll make you mine forever! Lord Dracula's given me such strength. Behold!

(Annette hears Richter is calling her and turns)

Richter: Annette!
Annette: !! Richter... Richter, it's you.
Richter: You're all right.
Annette: I believed in you. I knew you'd come.
Richter: Sorry I took so long.
Annette: Oh, yes! There's another girl being held here. Maria...
Richter: So, there's someone else to save...
Annette: You haven't seen her, then? I hope she's all right. I'm worried...
Richter: They haven't hurt you, so they probably haven't hurt her either. Still, until I settle things with Dracula... I want you to run and hide. Someplace safe.
Annette: All right. Richter...
Richter: What's wrong?
Annette: Please don't die. Come back in one piece. Promise me.

Richter: Sure. Leave this to me.

Annette: What's wrong?
Richter: She's insisted on joining up with me.
Annette: She what?! You didn't stop her?
Richter: You think that would be easy. But you haven't seen her power.
Annette: Power, hmm? Still, she's a child.
Richter: She'll be in danger either way until I settle things with Dracula. And so will you, Annette... Just get as far away as you can.
Annette: All right. Richter...
Richter: What's wrong?
Annette: Please don't die. Come back in one piece. Promise me.

Richter: Sure. Leave this to me.

Notes[]

  • Just like the block 6 of Castlevania, the Castle Keep is located right behind the Clock Tower.
  • In The Dracula X Chronicles, the room that originally houses Annette instead houses a Laura imposing as Annette in order to fool players. Instead, the room which houses the true Annette can only be activated using two hidden switches that are blocked by red skeleton and crystal barriers.
  • In Rondo of Blood, the name of the stage contains furigana for the 鎮魂歌 Kanji which reads as レクイエム (Rekuiemu).
