The Belmont's former hometown of Warakiya now lays in ruins; bereft of people and overrun with monsters. The enemies are fairly weak and there are no real jumping hazards. This is a chance to get used to the controls and combat.

[edit] Block 1-01

Not only is the town square is completely empty, but you can fully charge your whip and get a couple of hearts and a Dagger.

Notes

1. While the Dagger is rarely the best weapon, it is the only one available now, so grab it.
2. Get both of these big hearts, otherwise you won't get a second whip power-up from the last candle.
