Mission 3 - The Antidote | The Main Campaign - walkthrough Castlevania: LoS 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
After leaving the elevator look around - to the right of your actual position there's a corpse with Soldier Diary, and to the left you will find a Pile of Sacrifice. Activate the pile to pick up the Kleidos (you can read more about this item in the "Additional Equipment" section in this guide). Going forward from the soldier's corpse and climbing the stairs, you will get to a room with the world map (Map Room) - inside you can look around at the whole map of the game and you can transfer to a previously discovered district.
Ignore the map room and go to the altar to activate the White Wolf Medallion (to the north-west of your position you will find a Pain Box and a Soldier Diary, but you lack a skill necessary to get there at the moment). Get to the place where the wolf awaits you and continue to the next location. Jump down, use the Magic Font to replenish your Magic and continue towards the marked on your map, which leads to an elevator (on a parking lot you will be marching through there are numerous collectibles, but you can't get to any of them at the moment).
After the long series of cutscenes are finished, get to the elevator, and soon you will be back on the parking lot - it changed a little, as you will soon find out. Marching towards the marker on the map you should get to a damaged door - destroy them with your Chaos Bombs. When you will try to freeze the flames, it will prove ineffective - turn around to the right and freeze the water leakage in the pipes (under the roof) by using your Void Projections. It will extinguish the flames in the corridor, allowing you to pass and enter another elevator.
After the cutscene is over, you will emerge on the surface and a small group of enemies will greet you. After the fight is over, look around - you should be able to see a Pain Box near your position, but you can't pick it up because you luck a requisite skill. Go towards the marker on the map until you reach a bridge - ignore the passage to the left and cross it. Get to the end of the alley, climb up (at the right side of the street) and collect a Chaos Gem from a Pain Box. Afterwards, jump down and enter the building (the entrance is covered by a burning car).
Find a Shadow Portal (in front of the entrance to the building), take the form of a rat and get into the ventilation shaft, located by the entrance to the building. Go through the tunnel until you reach a new room - find a second Shadow Portal to get back to your Dracula's form. Climb the fallen bookstand and jump of the building to the streets. As you land there, turn around to the left - you should now be looking on a shrine containing a Memorial.
Continue your journey towards the marker on the map, kill the lone enemy you will encounter and jump down (to your right there should be a huge waterfall, hidden behind metal bars). Defeat the enemies awaiting you at the bottom and then turn around to the wall you just jumped from - in the corner, on the left side, there's a Memorial inside a shrine.
Going towards the marker on the map, you will soon encounter more enemies by the fountain. Defeat all of them and find an electricity pole, behind a generator. Throw a Shadow Dagger at the box on top of the pole to cut off the power, which will allow you to climb up the cables on the wall of the building to the left. Before jumping into the building, look around - below yourself you should be able to see another Memorial - jump down, collect it, and then get back to the place you started climbing the cable to enter the building.
After a shower scene, leave through a newly opened door and go forward - you will encounter a small group of enemies and a Memorial to pick up. Get rid of the enemies, pick up the treasure and get back to the entrance of the room with showers. Turn to the left, destroy the remains of the door blocking the way, climb up the wall to the left, and jump to the other side.
Use the Shadow Portal to turn yourself into a rat and go through the grid to enter the second room, in which you will find a Pain Box - you can't pick it up right now, because you can't do anything in the rat form. Ignore it (you will come back for it soon) and march through the next grid, and through the hole in the floor.
Skip the patrolling enemies and go into a small room on the right side, where you will find a Shadow Portal. Get back to Dracula's form, get rid of all the enemies and go to the room opposite the one you found a Shadow Portal in to get to a Magic Font. Replenish your Magic and go down, in the direction of the marker on the map, until you bump into the old & annoying Dishonored Vampires.
After defeating them, ignore the lever by the door and go to the corridor to the left, until you reach a room with an entrance blocked by flames. Freeze the flames using the Void Projections, get the Void Gem from the Pain Box and activate the generator. Get back to the place with a lever, switch it and go through newly opened door.
Go forward (ignore the Memorial on the right side - you can't reach it at the moment), climb up and then turn around - at the end of the corridor there's a Pain Box with a Chaos Gem inside. After collecting the treasure continue your journey in the direction of the marker on the map, until you reach a room resembling a reception, in which you will fight some more vampires.
After the fight, run up the stairs on the highest floor (behind the destroyed stairs) - you will find another Memorial there. Collect it, get down on a lower floor and enter the next, familiar room.
Go along the corridor, in the direction of the marker on the map, but before entering the elevator, look to the penultimate room on the right side - you will find a Pain Box in there, the one you missed earlier as a rat. Collect the treasure and go into the elevator, where a short custcene will initiate and you will meet your new enemy - Riot Police.
Those guys are probably one of the most difficult enemies you will face in the entire game, especially when they are in a group. They can use melee-ranged attacks or can fire at you with their machine guns, damaging you from afar. Later on in the game they also use proximity mines, but they are easy to avoid, because they are extremely visible. Before you can even think about damaging them, you need to destroy their shields by using your Chaos powers - the task is even more difficult, as the enemy will jump back (or up into the air) after getting hit a few times. Try to stay as close to them as possible, as their ranged attacks are far more dangerous than their melee attacks. After getting rid of their shields, the battle becomes a lot easier. Lastly, remember that those guys explode on death, so try to get away from them after dealing the killing blow.
After the fight, go through a hole in the fence, but don't go into the building in the front - instead, turn to the right, climb up the ladder and collect a Kleidos Nail from a Pile of Sacrifice. Jump down, get into the building and turn the power back on, to open the next door. After getting outside, stand on the edge of the building and look down - you should see a group of Riot Police and demons fighting each other. Wait for them to kill each other and finish off any survivors.
When you're down, go down the street in the opposite direction to the marker on the map - at the end of it you will find a Memorial. Collect it and go towards the marker on the map to get to a familiar place.
