Block 6A (Route 8) for the game Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse is the Aqueducts stage. It consists of an wet aqueduct and a crumbling dry aqueduct section that leads to Dracula's Castle. Nintendo Power interpreted it as a causeway with a river and bridge section called the Causeway of Chaos. Trevor's sub-weapons in order include the Dagger, Holy Water (Ice for Sypha which can freeze the water), Stopwatch, another Holy Water, another Dagger, and an Axe.
Sub-sections[]
- Note that sub-section names are unofficial
- 6-0A: Lower Grounds - Head right and climb up a bit and take on the Hunchbacks/Gremlins/Ghoul Rabbits and an Axe Knight Guard guarding the area.
- 6-0B: "The River of Death" - Keep heading right across a water filled aqueduct with strong currents. Sypha is able to freeze the lake with her Frozen Crystals. Crows hover in the air and Fish Men lurk in the water. Water gushes in from a higher aqueduct to the middle of the platform. A Pillar of Bones guards the exit doorway.
- 6-0C - Middle Path: Head to a dry path beneath the higher aqueduct and head right and face another Axe Knight Guard, Hunchback, and Pillar of Bones. Head down and then right where Bad Bats fly, then head up and right, facing other familiar enemies along the way.
- 6-0D - "The Bridge of the Condemned" - Head across a broken section of the aqueduct. The remaining bridge collapses as you walk across it, while Crows and Fish Men impede your path. Head down and to the right near the surface of the lake and then face two Water Dragons whose long necks protrude from the lake below.

Other appearances[]
This is the first outdoor Aqueduct stage to appear in a Castlevania game. It has some similarities with Block 3 of the original Castlevania game, including its generally outside and high altitude environment and several enemies. That stage also had a lower ground and a segmented bridge, but this stage adds flowing water and has the bridge collapse beneath your feet.
