Sub-WeaponsEdit

Maria can use three of her four traditional animal spirits as subweapons. In this game, they are referred to by their Chinese names, rather than their usual Japanese names. She also has access to her Hymn sub-weapon, which she lacked in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. She is still missing her Egg sub-weapon from Castlevania: Rondo of Blood though.
