A rather melancholic, subterranean environment. Icy walls and small rivers compose the majority of the caves, as well as a rather large waterfall. In the distance, stalactites and stalagmites glow a faint purple.

The theme music of the Underground Caverns is Crystal Teardrop.

Castlevania: Symphony of the NightEdit

GeographyEdit

The Underground Caverns are first entered through the an opening in the floor in the Marble Gallery that is opened once a nearby switch is stepped on after obtaining the Jewel of Open. There are two paths straight downwards. The right path is a "long drop", while the left path is a basement section. The optional boss Scylla can be fought to the right of the long drop. Below Scylla's cavern is a frozen breakable floor that leads to an icy cavern and a waterway. The water is damaging at first and too far to traverse. The Merman Statue obtained later will cause the Oarsman to appear, allowing you to traverse this area, leading to the Holy Symbol relic which prevents the water from damaging you. To the left of Scylla's caverns is an area filled with small underground lakes. A wooden floor that can later be destroyed by an Skeleton Ape's exploding barrel leads to a hidden passage to the Abandoned Mine. A large waterfall is to the left. Once the Form of Bat is obtained, you can reach the room directly across from the top of the waterfall, which will cause the Ape Skeleton to appear that is needed to break the wooden floor. At the bottom of the waterfall and to the left is a frozen cavern, which leads to a watery area. The Oarsman will guide you through the underground river and will take you to an area where you can find the Merman Statue and to an area that leads back to the Entrance level near where the Mermen are.

The counterpart to the Underground Caverns in the Inverted Castle is Reverse Caverns.

Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the NightEdit

The Underground Caverns is the only underground section of the Castle in Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night. It has been extended to include the portion of the Marble Gallery that originally lead to the Underground Caverns. This added area, which extends to the Outer Wall, is passed through early in the game.
