The Luminous Cavern is a location in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance. It is a gloomy cave area that is lit by luminous moss.

Overview[]

Castle A[]

The background looks like a cave with moss with glowing light. In the room the player fights Talos, the water of the waterfall under the fossilized giant skull is normal (blue). The bottom part of the cave is flooded with water that leads to Death. The player can't access the door to Death when the water is still there because it makes it impossible for the door to open. A key and a statue are able to empty out the flood in order for Juste to proceed forward.

Castle B[]

It is the same as Castle A, but with the floors, ceilings and walls turned black. In the background, during the fight against a Golem, the waterfall is red (almost like blood). 

In the room after the Golem, Juste must strike a switch to crush a huge monster on a ledge high above and have its blood fill up a vertical corridor and raise a platform, in order for him to move on. He will also need to dodge some Ghost horde which stops spawning afterward.

Trivia[]

  • In the Castle B instance, right after defeating the Golem, the large room will spawn Ghosts in an endless manner. If Juste takes the elevator route, the ghosts will stop spawning afterward. However, before using the elevator, it is possible to use jump kicks to bounce off the Ghosts to reach the small area and find the Walk Armor very early. If not done, this item can only be collected after having Griffin's Wing.

Other appearances[]

The blood pooling Castle B could be a reference to the Japanese version of the Caves of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, whose walls may be stained red with blood. The Dungeon stage of Super Castlevania IV also has similar spiked traps and blood drips and pools in the Japanese version. The background of the Luminous Cavern in Castle B also has the same purplish color found in some of the caves in Dracula's Curse.
