Topic: The Lords of Shadow and the Great Easter Egg Hunt!!! (Spoiler Alert!)

One of the scrolls you get from a guard in the castle reads about the Bernhard family making a pact with a hellspawn and the building being possessed etc.... It goes on to say "but the fact that the castle may be a living entity may explain how, after centuries, no one has been able to create a complete map of it."

Sounds like he's describing Castlevania how Alucard explained it in sotn "a creature of chaos"

Does that mean Carmilla's Castle is actually Castlevania? o_O

Perhaps. Castlevania may be the domain of the Lord of vampires. In Lords, it seems to be Carmilla. In Lament, it's Walter. And in most games, it's Dracula.

I'm just happy theres a castle somewhere in the game to be honest and that it eventually gets dark.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

It's actually pretty cool when it gets dark... right when you're in the Castle.
Talk about bad timing.

Could you say this feels Castlevania now? O.o

One of the dead knight's scrolls mentions him failing to reach the tower above him, making him unable to see his love Iris

[Ahasverus]

I don't understand that reference O.o

[Apolake]

Iris is one of the hostages from Rondo of Blood.

[Ahasverus]

Iris is the nun from Rondo of Blood.

Sure but how's that a reference? I mean, she was a nun with no boyfriend . if she is, nice nod, I really like some of these ones, especially the Bernhard thing, God this game is soooo canon 

[Apolake]

http://castlevania.wikia.com/wiki/Iris  I mixed up the bios, the nun's name is Tera, Iris was the daughter of a prominent doctor.

Yeah... too bad most of the game is not like that. :\
Still great game, though.

Yeah it's a Rondo name.  And actually "Claudia" is a vampire girl from the Anne Rice novels (she was played by a very very young Kirsten Dunst in the "Interview with the Vampire" movie).  But that's again, more of a slight name 'nod' than a reference, as Iris is.

Ah I almost for got this one...


Similar Events --NES Castslevania --Super Castlevania IV
During Chaper 2 at the end of the Labyrinth Entrance the floor collapses under Gabriel's feet and he falls into a massive pit.
Also happened to Simon CV1 Stage 3 and SCIV Library

Vincent Dorin (the shopkeeper from Portrait of Ruin) shows up in Wygol as a cowardly monk who holes himself up with life saving sacred relics that he isn't apt to share from the goodness of his heart.

So not much change from his original character.

In Chapter 2-1 one of the brotherhood knight scrolls mentions the large beautiful tree that was the symbol of the forest.  It was called "The Great Dekuh".
This is a similar reference to the Great Deku Tree, the guardian spirit tree of the forest of the Kokiri, in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
