The Bodley Mansion (バドリーの館 Badorī no Yakata?, lit. "House of Badley") is a location in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. It is the fourth mansion in the game.

Overview[]

To access this mansion, Simon Belmont has to use the Red Crystal at the base of Deborah Cliff. A whirlwind will then pick him up and deposit him in front of the mansion. The second half of the main world is accessible through here. It resides in the middle part of the Wicked Ditch. Heading left (east) takes one toward the Uta Lower Road, and will eventually loop around back to Camilla Cemetery, while heading right (south) will take one toward the town of Fetra, which leads toward Dracula's Castle, among other places.

Dracula's Nail is housed in this mansion, which allows the player to whip and break certain blocks the same way as those the Holy Water does.

Trivia[]

  • The Japanese name of the mansion is Badori, which is likely a reference to the so-called 'Blood Countess', Erzsébet Báthory, and by extension, phonetically similar to the surname of the character Elizabeth Bartley.

Other appearances[]

Howard & Nester[]

Bodley Mansion made an appearance in a Howard & Nester comic strip, which poked fun at how difficult it could be to get to.

Super Castlevania IV[]

Main article: Super Castlevania IV Stage 3

The path taken in Super Castlevania IV to Dracula's Castle generally aligns with the optimal path that can be taken in Simon's Quest to the castle. Bodley Mansion corresponds with the Sunken City in the third stage.
