The fifth stage of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood is called The Devil Flies By Night or Toward the Tower of the Final Showdown. The entire level takes place on the docks and inside of a ghost ship.
Overview[]
In the first section, the player must start from a dock and jump over a few broken sections in order to board the ghost ship. A Flying Skull will spawn every few seconds from the surface, and some Skeleton Flails block the path. Near the end of section, two Skeleton Blazes will jump off the ship and try to ambush the player; however, the left one is very likely to jump over the player and attack from the right side, so the easiest method is to just run to the end nonstop.
