Interface | Controls Castlevania: LoS 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

1. Health Bar. During the game (and finding Life Gems) the health bar will grow longer. Naturally, if it goes empty, you will die and be transported back to a save point.

2. Number showing how much experience points you currently have - you earn it for killing enemies, after using the Stolas' Clock Relic, by picking up certain items and for finishing a chapter.

3. Information shown in this place tell you about your progress in mastering certain skills - each hit increases that number by a certain amount (the more difficult it is to hit with it, or the more Void / Chaos magic it uses, the faster it increases). When it reaches 100%, it won't show up there again.

4. In this place (below experience points) the currently equipped skill is shown (in this particular case, Chaos Bomb). Some skills require a certain amount of time before they can be used again (cooldown time) - the cooling progress will be shown in this place.

5. Bars representing the actual amount of Void and Chaos Magic you currently possess - if any of those reaches zero, you won't be able to use that Magic. It can be recharged by picking up Blood Orbs dropped by enemies. Ensnared Demon Relic gives you unlimited amount of Void and Chaos Magic for a short time.

6. The Minimap, showing a fragment of terrain, in which you currently are - below the Minimap you can find the name of the district.

7. Combat Focus bar - see "Tips" section to learn more.

Interface in the game is no different than that which you can find in any other games from this game genre - it doesn't block the view and it has all the most important information you may need. In the left upper corner [1] there's a health bar of your character (when it reaches zero, you die), and just below it [4] the icon representing your currently equipped skill or relic. In the opposite corner [6] there's a Minimap, which unfortunately has to be discovered first to be visible. The Minimap won't show the position of enemies either. In the opposite corners of the screen [5] you can find bars representing your current amount of Void / Chaos Magic - if any of those bars is empty, you can't use that type of Magic. Between them [7] there's the Combat Focus bar - you can learn more about it in the "Tips" section. Below the health bar [2] you can find information about the amount of experience points you currently have, and your mastery over a certain skill [3].
