Coin Locations

1) Go to the main door of the castle and enter it. After Coming Inside, Make a quick left to the first door. When In The room, you will see a piano. Go close to the piano, and it will try to attack you. When the piano is moved, there will be a coin in the place it originally was.

2 and 3) Go to the door in the room you are currently in (The Piano Room) that is visible straight in front of red coin #1. As soon as you enter the room, jump on top of both of the bookcases in the room. You will now have 3 coins.

4) Leave the bookcase room. go to the door on the other side of the big entrance room. There should only be on door on this wall. Enter it and proceed to get the red coin on the little platform near where a ghost should be. Thiis platform has a window shining right on it.

5) Leave the room, and then go up the stairs leading to the second story. When you reach the second story, go directly to your right- the last door on the right. Enter the room. You should see a wall of 2 bookcases. Go to the end of the bookcases. As you are going along the bookcases, two books will most likely try to attack you. Behind the bookcase is a red coin. Get it, but be careful of the moving floor. If you fall, you will have to make your way up to the mansion again. You can identify the moving floor by looking for a crack near the coin.

6 and 7) After you leave the room, go to the door directly to the left of the door you just left. You will come into a small space with a floating eyeball. Kill it if you would like to. Go into the bigger room connected to the small space, and search the coffins for red coins. There should be two in the room. Here is a diagram to help you to find the right coffins with the coins.
