"It is said that on a moonless night, many graves were opened, and many bones stolen. The stench of death rose up, and the empty eyes of a thousand skulls set themselves to seek yet more tombs to befoul. Such was the price of a temple built from the bones of the fallen."
— In-game description

The Skeleton Cave (葬送の骸窟 (そうそうのがいくつ) Sōsō no Gaikutsu?, lit. "Skeleton Cave of Funeral") is a location in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.

Overview[]

The cave is a mysterious temple that was built by a horde of skeletons who rose from their graves one moonless night. It is filled with walking skeletons who regularly leave to rob more graves or kill victims to add more bones to the cave. It is unknown what possessed so many skeletons to rise and do such a thing, but the cave is ruled by the massive insect Maneater, who must use a large skull as a shell.

One thing to be noted is that some parts of the cave have the bones arranged in very decorative and creative ways, while others have them just in piles on the floor, implying some intelligent thought on behalf of the undead horde.

Trivia[]

  • The long room on the upper-west wing of this area, which is crowded by several Skeleton Friskies, provides a good place to level up in the early game. Equipping Vol Macirs on both arms, and wearing the Strength Ring and Empress Ring, will allow the player to kill them quickly. Enter the room, walk down the little slope at the entrance, crouch, and start hitting with the Vol Macirs alternately until all enemies are defeated; then exit and reenter the room, and repeat the process. This way, the player can level up to Level 16-23+ very quickly (additionally, activating a fully upgraded Fidelis Caries greatly helps during this process).
  • The room where the Maneater is fought is based on the interior of the Sedlec Ossuary.

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair[]

The third stage of Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, End of Chaos, is essentially a rearranged version of the Skeleton Cave in Order of Ecclesia. It has a different boss, though, Menace from Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow.

The boss room from the Skeleton Cave appears as Death's boss room in the fifth stage, Song of the Unslakable Blade. This room has a strong resemblance to Death's boss room in the Entrance of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.
