Topic: Belmont Graveyard

[crisis]

What do you think happens to the corpse of a Belmont? Is there a special cemetary dedicated to their tombstones, or are they just buried wherever they die, or do you think they cremate them Jedi-style?

I dunno if The Belmont Legacy comic book is canon or not but if I recall correctly I think there was a scene depicting Belmont gravestones in a shrine. I think it'd be pretty cool if this was touched upon in the games.

I think they're entombed in a mausoleum of sorts. They probably have one that's dedicated to the entire Belmont clan. Not only would this burial tomb house their bodies, but also the legends of the family history as well as the knowledge for which to use the vampirekiller, the mystic subweapons and the different methods of hunting the undead.

TBH, I would imagine them cremated. Wouldnt want Dracula raiding the graveyard and turning their remains into Zombies and skeleton warriors now would we?

Imagine walking through ye old intro stage (or graveyard stage) when suddenly- Grampa Trevor..? Is that you..? *is a skeleton with a brown bandanna*

Simon..!? *is a zombie with red hair and rotting leather*

Simon's Quest Translated Japanese Manual Story
(The text was translated by "Help Me")

One morning, Simon was at the Belmont family's resting ground, a graveyard located before the angel's hill.

[Reinhart77]

the Simon Wraith from Harmony of Dissonance was called a Hellmont in Harmony of Despair and it states "Some say this is what happened to Simon Belmont in the end."

Some monsters would like you to believe that when a Belmont or other heroes dies, their bones are brought to the castle, flesh forms around them, and they can be controlled like any other zombie by the castle's influence.  Of course, those zombies are called "Fake" in the game (even the Japanese versions apparently), but I've still wondered if they were really fake from time to time.

Dracula did indeed desecrate the corpses of Christopher Belmont's parents in Belmont's Legacy.  Poor souls.

There was also the resurrected corpses of Grant, Trevor and Sypha in SotN.

Those Simon Wraiths were in CVIII too, so they're probably just random whip-wielding skeleton parodies in the end rather than actual Belmonts.

Werent those doppelgangers? I recall them being named "Fake"

Yeah, they were Fakes.

I think Belmonts may have their mausoleum somewhere with some hidden relics (like for the Brotherhood in LoS). But maybe certain members of the clan decided to be cremated or burried elsewhere.

I always thought that a Belmont family crypt/mausoleum would be on a secluded plot of their family's ancient property, with a large building to house the remains, that would be not only on consecrated land, but would have all manner of relics and wards to prevent any dark forces from trying to break in and meddle with the corpses.

I know in some mythos, vampires can't walk on consecrated land. Should have solved the issue to Drac busting in to steal a body or two.

This is one of the best topics I've seen in a long time.  Desecrating the Clan's resting place would be an excellent way to start off the Demon Castle War.  Suppose Julius were forced to destroy his Belmont ancestors --now that's psychological warfare right there. I never understood why Sotn made the Castlevania 3 trio "Fakes" far more dramatic story-telling to make them the real thing.

[K.G. Morder]

because its standard Doppelganger procedure. Its still awesome to have to fight these versions of Alucard's original teammates.
