How to fast travel in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse explained

If you don't want to keep backtracking across Dracula's Castle, you might be wondering how to fast travel in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse.

As with any Casltevania game, there's plenty of exploration to be done, and who wants to spend minutes traipsing across the map?

So, here's a quick overview of how to unlock both fast travel methods in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse.

There are two methods of fast travelling in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse.

The first of these is via the Ferryman's Wharf, and the second one is a bit of a spoiler.

We'll take you through both of them down below, but this is your official spoiler warning: if you don't want to know the second method, don't go beyond the Ferryman's Wharf method!

How to fast travel using the Ferryman's Wharf in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse explained

After first fighting against Death in the Catacombs of Paris, you will be able to meet the Ferryman.

From where you spawn, climb all the way up the Collapsed Path of Orpheus, avoiding the traps, and once you reach the top, enter the right-hand room, where you'll find a blue, glowing door leading to the Ferryman's Wharf.

Interact with the Ferryman, and from this point onwards, you'll be able to enter similar blue doors found around the map to find other Wharfs and unlock a new fast travel point.

Unfortunately, you can only fast travel between Ferryman's Wharfs from the Wharfs themselves, although there is a method unlocked later on that gives you much more freedom…

How to fast travel using Mirrors of Life in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse explained

Once you've activated a Mirror of Life, you can hold down to crouch in front of the mirror to be transported to the Hall of Mirrors.

The Hall of Mirrors is a location consisting of multiple storeys of mirrors, with each storey denoting a particular area of the map.

Once you've unlocked a Mirror of Life, you can use the Hall of Mirrors to teleport between them, basically giving you a fast travel point for every location in the game.

The Hall of Mirrors is a location that you'll come across naturally later on in the game, and traversing it is required to unlock one of the many Tarot Cards in your arsenal.
