Additional abilities | Tips Castlevania: LoS 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Stomp

A move which is similar to dodge, but it is performed while being mid-air. It allows you to instantaneously land on the ground, which is a good way to keep yourself from getting hit while fighting flying enemies. What's more, landing on the ground allows you to knock away / down smaller foes standing in the vicinity of your landing spot. Also, it allows you to destroy any "scenery equipment" you will come across, like barrels, chests, containers - most of them will be blown to pieces after just one hit from a Stomp.

Bat Swarm

A skill allowing you to send a swarm of bats, which will distract an enemy for a certain amount of time. You will use this skill mostly during stealth sections, as use of it during actual combat is somehow limited - it can be, however, used to distract a strong or particularly annoying enemy, keeping him off the fight for a short while.

Mist Form

With this skill, Dracula can turn himself into mist. It allows two things: getting into places which are normally inaccessible to you (blocked by bars, for example), or to avoid some of the enemies (this skill is somehow required to get through one of the stealth sections, which you will read about later in the guide).

The only drawback of this skill is that during its duration you are awfully slow and it can't be maintained for a long time, as well as its cooldown time is about twice longer than its duration.

Plague of Rats

A skill which allows you to turn yourself into a rat, which enables you to get into normally inaccessible places, like ventilation shafts. You can only turn to and from rat by using Shadow Portals. This power is only used during stealth sections and in order to get to some of the hidden treasures, it cannot be used in combat.

Vampiric Possession

Like Plague of Rats, this skill is only used during stealth sections - you cannot use it in any way to aid yourself in combat. In order to use this skill, you have to sneak behind an unaware enemy then possess him by pressing the interact button. While in possession of an enemy's body, you move slowly and your new body loses life - if it reaches zero, the body implodes and you will be returned to Dracula's form.

Double Jump

After getting an item called Demonic Wings, you will be obtain the power of double jump - you can jump again while being in mid-air. It basically doubles the height of your jumps, allowing you to get to previously inaccessible places (you will mostly use it while backtracking, to get to dozens of treasures you couldn't have picked up earlier without it). Double jump can be used in fight, in a similar manner to Stomp - instead of going down to the ground to avoid getting hit, you can basically "jump over" an aerial attack.
