Mission 4 - Next Stop: Castlevania | Gems - First pass Castlevania: LoS 2 Guide

#9 Life Gem

You were here during the Bioquimek Corporation mission. Go towards the marker on the map, until you reach a door which you must open by switching a lever. After getting through, turn to the left where you will find a Shadow Portal, needed to find a nearby collectible. Leave it at this moment and go to the room in which there were 2 Golgoth Guards (you used Bat Swarm for the first time there). Kill all the enemies you encounter and get back to the portal, to turn yourself into a rat. Go through the ventilation shaft in the room you possessed the guard to gain access to your first Pain Box (the place can be seen on the picture above). Go through the tunnel (go forward on the crossing), until you reach a cable you need to bite through.

After doing that, get back to the crossing and go to the left, which will allow you to get out of the ventilation faster. Now go to the room where there were 2 Golgoth Guards and enter another ventilation shaft (in the close vicinity to the ladder you climbed after using your Bat Swarm for the first time). Go through the tunnel, then under a turned-off fan to get outside on the other side, where you will find a Pain Box with a Life Gem inside. To activate the box you need to active the nearby Shadow Portal to get back to your Dracula form. To get out of that place, you need to get into the rat form again and go through the ventilation all the way back.

#4, #5 and #6 Chaos Gem

The second gem in this mission is behind the frozen door. The ice is blocking the mechanism controlling the door - get rid of it by using Chaos Bombs and open the now unblocked door with a switch on the left side. Afterwards, jump through the gap to get to the other side, and jump down a platform below you, where you can find another Pain Box with a Chaos Gem inside

Pain Box (with a Dodo bird on top of it) - in the distance there's the tunnel leading to the tower.

A bit further you will encounter another group of gun-wielding enemies. Get rid of them and turn to the tunnel on the left (just before the crossing) - you will come across yet another Pain Box, with a Chaos Gem inside. Collect it and go through the opposite tunnel, until you reach a tower that you will have to climb.

After reaching the top of the tower, stand on the edge and look below - you should be able to see a Pain Box there. Jump down and collect a Chaos Gem from it.

#8 Void Gem

5th gem in this mission can be found soon after you got back on the surface (after climbing the tower and cables). When you reach the top, go towards the marker on the map. Replenish your Magic with the nearby Magic Font and climb up the stairs to get to a Pain Box with a Void Gem hidden inside.

#10 Life Gem

While going through the footbridge, note the on the right side - at the top of it there's a Pain Box.

You will find the 10th Life Gem in the game after the stealth section with 2 guards - you will run into another, lone guard. Use your Bat Swarm on him and quickly climb up the ladder on the right side. Jump over the fence, landing on another ladder, and move to the right, being above the ground all the time. Soon, to your right, you will notice a ladder - climb it up to collect a Life Gem from the Pain Box inside the small room.

#11 Life Gem

Another Pain Box can be seen in the distance.

Another gem can be picked up after the train crash. After regaining control over your character, go along the railroad tracks in the direction from which the train came - there's quite a long journey before you, so be patient. You will arrive on a station from where the train left - at the end of the rails you will find a Pain Box with a Life Gem inside.

#7 and #8 Chaos Gem

Markers showing the location of two Pain Boxes, both containing a Chaos Gem.

Two last gems await you in the room where Zobek's Lieutenant leaves you. After getting to the highest floor, you will be able to see two Pain Boxes (screen above shows their location) - first, collect the one located on your level (highest floor), and then go back for the one situated below you. As you have noticed, both boxes contain a Chaos Gem.
