Sciences District | Collectibles - second pass Castlevania: LoS 2 Guide

A place where you will find the most collectibles so far. The best way is to get back all the way to the beginning of this location, where you've encountered your first Golgoth Guard (1st mission). After leaving the Map Room, go through the metal catwalk towards a pillar, jump to the right and climb up the broken ladder, until you reach the top of the tower you've climbed few times in the past.

Jump all the way down to the bottom of the tower and go through the tunnels - turn into "the second left" (skip the first turn to the left), then turn right, left and again to the right. Soon you should land on the arena you've fought Raisa on - head towards a square room, get into the corridor and flip the switch.

Go straight ahead (you can't really get lost, as there's only one way), climb up the pipes on the left side (in the room with an airflow coming from a vent). You will soon enter the room where there were two Golgoth Guards in the past (you acquired your Bat Swarm ability here) - go further back, until you reach a room where you've encountered a lone guard (and used a Shadow Portal for the first time).

#21 Life Gem

The first Pain Box you've found in the game.

In the place where you've used the Shadow Portal for a first time, behind the bars, there's a Pain Box - mist through them and collect a Life Gem.

#22 Void Gem, #21 Chaos Gem and #15 Pile of Sacrifice

In front of you there's a room with a Pain Box - on the right, slightly above you, another one.

Go into the room where there were two Golgoth Guards and climb up the ladder. Get off the ladder, turn to the right and mist through the bars to get to a Pain Box with a Void Gem.

Go back to the ladder and look to the left - behind a pillar (the ladder is attached to it) there's a catwalk with a Pain Box on it. Get to it by using your double jump and collect a Chaos Gem.

Tanks in front of you, which you must climb.

Get back on a metal catwalk and go along it, until you reach white tanks hanging from the ceiling. Jump on the middle one and, avoid the steam blowing in some places, jump along the other handhold (first to the left, then down and after that to the right). You should reach platform with a Pile of Sacrifice. Collect a Kleidos' Nail from it.

#16 Pile of Sacrifice and #12 Keyhole for a Dungeon Key

Jump into the airflow and use Mist power.

After collecting all those items, get to the room in which there's an airflow going from the ventilation. Jump into it (the airflow) and use your Mist power to get upwards. From there, use your Mist power again, to get to the upper level. There, a Pile of Sacrifice awaits you, with an upgrade to the Seal of Alastor relic (you can now hold 5 of the at a time).

Afterwards, use your Mist power again, to get to a lower level. You will land in a close vicinity of a keyhole - use a Dungeon Key to get a 2,000 experience boost.

#22 Life Gem

You need to throw a Shadow Dagger at those tanks.

After collecting the experience, jump down - you will be in a room with the airflow again. Go into the next room, in which you possessed the first technician in the game (1st mission). Locate giant tanks hanging from the ceiling and throw a Shadow Dagger at them (use the above screenshot if you can't find them) - it will open up a passageway, through which you will go in a few moments.

Find a Shadow Portal, turn yourself into a rat and enter the grid (to the right of the Shadow Portal). Run down the tunnel, and turn left on a crossing. You will soon get to a fork - go through the left tunnel and avoid the piston moving up and down. Reach the end of the tunnel, snap off the cable to turn the power down and get back to the fork. Now, go into the right tunnel, until you reach the surface. Turn yourself back into your Dracula form at the Shadow Portal, collect a Life Gem from a Pain Box. Afterwards, turn yourself back into the rat form and get back to the place you threw daggers at tanks.

#17 Pile of Sacrifice, #23 Void Gem #18 Pile of Sacrifice

Entrance to a small room with a Pile of Sacrifice.

Continue your journey until you reach the arena that you fought Raisa on. Run into the room with stairs leading up and mist through the bars at the base of the stairs. Use a Shadow Portal and jump through the hole in the ground. Get back into Dracula form and activate a Pile of Sacrifice, collecting a Kleidos' Nail. After that, use airfow to get back.

Run up the stairs so that you are standing above the arena. In the middle, below you, there's a tank which you must jump onto. Run around it to find a handhold and jump on him, to reach (by going to the left) to a Pain Box with a Void Gem inside.

One of the tanks that you must climb in order to get the goods.

Go back above the arena and find another tank, this time above you. Again, run around it and find a handhold, jump on it and climb all the way up to reach a Pile of Sacrifice. You will get an upgrade to Dodo Egg relic (you can carry 5 of them now).

After collecting all those items, you must now reach the location in which you climbed a moving container - if you can't recall the route, look up the 4th mission in the walkthrough section of this guide, because the it's the same.

#28 Memorial

A handhold on the right side of the tunnel.

After reaching the place, to the left of the entrance there's a handhold - grab it, climb it up and jump on a nearby moving container. After another one will be under you, jump down on it. After going through the tunnel, turn around - on the right side there's a ladder leading up, where you will find a Memorial.

#13 Keyhole for a Dungeon Key

Afterwards, jump down from the container, to land near the place where you've found a Memorial in the past (near the entrance to the station) - between the Memorial's shrine and entry to the station there's a ladder leading upwards. Climb it up and jump on a moving container on the right. Hang on one of its walls, so that you won't be electrocuted, and after that get on top of it and jump to the right side, where you will find a keyhole for a Dungeon Key.

#24 Void Gem #19 Pile of Sacrifice

A Pain Box behind a Memorial that you've picked up in the past - behind it there's an airflow.

Afterwards, jump down and get to the metro station (in case of some problems, look up the 4th mission in the walkthrough section of this guide again). After reaching it, go straight ahead, until you reach the wall - turn to the right and go along the wall. Above the shrine that held a Memorial (you've picked it up during 5th mission) there's a Pain Box, hidden in a small cavity. Get there with your double jump, collect a Void Gem and go further into it, until you reach an airflow - stand on it, use your Mist power and fly to the other side of the station. You will find a Pile of Sacrifice with a Kleidos' Nail inside.

After collecting the items, go back to the arena where you fought Raisa on. After reaching it, climb up the stairs and jump on a ladder on the right side, on the mezzanine just before the last floor (look up the 4th mission in the walkthrough section of this guide if you can't find it). Jump down and climb the opposite ladder, to get back on the surface.

Now go to the left, through a hole in the fence and climb up the ladder on the left side. Continue your journey until you reach a room with a power switch. Flip it and go through the newly opened passage. After going outside, turn to the left, climb up the ladder (there was a Pile of Sacrifice there a few missions back) and jump through the hole in the fence. Enter the elevator and ride down.

#25 Void Gem #14 Keyhole for a Dungeon Key

Red marker indicates the location of a Pain Box, the blue one of a keyhole.

After leaving the elevator go straight ahead and at the end of the corridor (before the room with showers) turn to the right. Using your double jump get on the highest floor (through broken stairs), where you will find a Pain Box with a Void Gem inside. Go into a nearby room with a damaged floor - there's a hole in one of the walls, where you will find a keyhole for a Dungeon Key.

#23 Life Gem

Behind the fence you will find the last collectible in the "modern times".

Go into the room with showers, close the door and leave it with the other door. Jump down and get through the fence to stand in front of a fountain (you threw Shadow Daggers at an electricity pole a few missions back). Right in front of you there's a small, fenced off alley - mist through the gate to get to the last collectible in the "modern times". Collect a Life Gem from this Pain Box and get to the closest altar to activate the White Wolf Medallion, to transfer yourself into the Dracula's Castle (if you can't find the altar, enter your Travel Book and set the altar as a waypoint, which should mark it on your map now).
