Minera Prison Island

"This abandoned prison once housed petty thieves and criminals forgotten by society. The lighthouse on the island is still in service, and at time strange figures can be seen coming and going. What purpose have they for empty cells and forsaken souls?"

— In-game description

Minera Prison Island is a location in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. It is a deserted prison island only inhabited by the souls of forgotten prisoners and other beasts, as well as the lair of the Giant Skeleton. In open areas, the player must avoid spotlights: if they get detected, an alarm bell will reveal their presence to the enemies and a powerful monster (usually an Evil Force) will chase the player, unless they leave the area quickly.

Trivia[]

Donkey Kong Jr.
(Nintendo, 1982)

The electricity hazard challenge, where the Vol Fulgur glyph can be found, appears to have been inspired by the third level of the classic arcade game Donkey Kong Jr. (Nintendo, 1982), which also features a series of electric sparks running along the ceilings and floors of the stage.
