We all know what happens with Soma in AoS, but what about Arikado/Alucard. We only see him three times during the game:
(1) at the beginning in the entrance when he protects Soma and Mina for the most part from enemies using his soul steal spell. After which, he says that he will put up a protective barrier to protect Mina.
(2) in the underground reservoir, just after Graham stabs Yoko. At which point, he says that he will see to her injuries.
(3) in the throne room, after the battle with Graham (assuming you beat it the right way).
My question is: What was he up to in between those events? And how did he get to that room beyond the throne room?

And how did he get to that room beyond the throne room?
Bat form? Secret passage way? A hidden entrance he used since he was a little kid. Spying on daddy.

My question is: What was he up to in between those events?
hiding deep in the castle in some remote save room, devouring those peanuts like there's no tomorrow.

My question is:
-
Does it ... matter?
Where do you think Maria / Nathan / Maxim / Julius are when they're not randomly shown hanging out in some room in their games?
-
Nathan
nathan's on screen for the entire game.
-
Ugh. I meant, you know, Hugh.

Well, the reason I ask the question is that in the beginning of the game, he states that he too has things to do in the castle. That's what I'm wondering. I would think that capturing Graham and keeping an eye on Soma would be a priority. While he may not have known that Soma was the reincarnation of Dracula, he at least knew that Soma could be the one the prophecy is talking about.

Maria can ride her Tiger as one of her moves, so obviously, she can jump on and get to the door and open it. Unlike Alucard, she isn't in mist form and can touch a door handle.

Perhaps he fancied himself a candidate to become the next Dark Lord --as hinted by the ending of Dawn...
how is it hinted? I know that it is one interpretation, but I don't remember it being hinted in DoS. In actuality, I wouldn't be surprised if it came down to a battle to the death between Soma and Arikado, with the survivor of the battle becoming the next dark lord.
The reason that I brought this topic in the first place is that he could have had an adventure of his own, or at least he may have been up to something kind of cool.

Maybe you, as the player, are Alucard keeping an eye on Soma. If he's keeping an eye on Soma the whole game then then you wouldn't be able to see him anywhere else cause he's hinding.

Last I checked, Tigers can't walk on spikes!
Although that would be awesome!....so I'll allow that....

Last I checked, it's a video game!

why do you even need a tiger? she uses her owls as superjump to fly around, so she could use them as a jetpack to fly over the spikes. ;D

People should know better than to take most of my posts seriously.

Have you seen the move she does with the Tiger? It flies... and last I checked Tigers can't fly either. If you are gonna say something like that, atleast consider, that you are talking about a video game with vampires, magic whips, and mummies. There is obviously more, but that should be enough to make a point.

But doesn't her owns hold her hands? Making it really hard and difficult to turn the doorknob and opening the door?
..... but,.... wasn't there a metallic barrier intersecting the spikes? I wonder how she got past that... when she left. If it was entering, she could've just flew in through the window.

she could just bind them to her back with a rope and use them as propulsion. ;D

well there you go, you just answered the question. she used her owls to fly around the spike corridor in and out using the windows. alucard had to show he's the man though so he went and walked through them and broke them with his sheer manliness.
then she could just walk out since alucard smashed all the spikes before. and go around the barrier through the windows, or by using her awesome "go through walls" plot ability.
-
Well, in NitM, she has an invincibility spell. I know that it isn't cannon, but that is the best explaination of her getting by the spikes. As for the metal barrier, she could have found a relic that could do something to metal allowing normal humans to pass through it. And before anyone says that I don't know what I'm talking about, I would like to remind them that it's entirely possible. After all, Maria was wondering around the castle before Alucard even got there. So, she could have found such a relic and the only reason Alucard didn't find is that she go to it first.
-
flying around through the windows with owls explains a bit more though. like, how did she get past the hippogryph even though she was just slightly ahead of al, but hippogryph didn't even notice her.
imagine fighting the hippogryph and as you're about to kill it you see maria flying by outside the window with the owls. ;D

Not quite serio. Go through wall plot ability >.> There aren't any windows in that corridor, were there? I only said that is because she actually walked out the room instead of jumping into the background, adn otu the window when she leaves.
-
There were windows.
I have proof!

So it's possible that she ran out of the room and then went out the window near the glowing door.
-
Or perhaps he's the real lord of the castle, so, he could go through it easily :o
