You use them to travel around, but you have to find them first. There usually isn't one far from the entrance to a level. On the map, warp points are marked out in blue. | ||
* Note that you can't use a warp stone in a portrait to get to Draculas castle and vice versa, the warp stones can only be used with other warp stones in the area you are in. | * Note that you can't use a warp stone in a portrait to get to Draculas castle and vice versa, the warp stones can only be used with other warp stones in the area you are in. | ||
* Another thing to note is maps. You can buy from Vincent three maps showing various segments of Dracula's Castle, but you can't get the maps for the portraits and parts of the Castle not covered by the 3 maps. When you walk around a level, you also gain a map percentage, and this adds up to your total Map Percentage (listed upon your pause menu as a percentage out of 1000), so it's wise to wander around and find secret passages and stuff. Luckily for you, there are maps showing where all the hidden rooms are. | |||
===General Information=== | |||
* It is a very good idea to keep items that you only have one of, such as the item the Green Tea Cake, as there is only one of them in the entire game, and they are used for certain subquests. A good idea is to just keep them (don't eat them unless you have more than one of if it is an enemy drop), but if you eat or use or sell an item that is required for a certain subquest, you can get it off shop mode. | |||
* Shop mode is where you open up your inventory for other people to buy things. The Fantastic thing about it is while you can sell items, you gain the money but you ''don't lose the item''. | |||
