- For the Lords of Shadow location, see Veros Woods (Lords of Shadow).
The Veros Woods (ベロスの森 Berosu no Mori?, lit. "Belos Forest") is a location in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. It is the second forested area normally found in the game. It is located just beyond the South Bridge when approaching from the town of Jova. The path eventually forks. The lower fork leads to the town of Veros.
Berkeley Mansion, the first mansion encountered in the game, is encountered early in the upper fork. The Veros Woods continues past this mansion and then leads to Denis Woods. The marsh depicted in this stage may be an extension of the Denis Marsh.

Gabriel Belmont traverses the snow covered Veros Woods in this alternate continuity game. Here, he meets the Chupacabra. Its proximity to Wygol Village, suggests that in this timeline, Wygol Village is analogous to the town of Veros or Jova.
