Dracula II: Noroi no Fuuin (released internationally as Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest) is an action-RPG platformer developed by Konami and released for the Famicom Disk System in 1987. Breaking from the strict linear progression of the original Castlevania, this sequel introduces an interconnected world where players explore towns, gather clues, purchase upgrades, and survive day-to-night cycles to gather the fragmented remains of Dracula.

Tips
- Equip the Holy Water as soon as you can; it arcs downward and can freeze enemies in place, making it incredibly useful for both combat and discovering fake floor blocks.
- Transitioning from day to night makes enemies tougher, so if the sun is setting, seek shelter in a town or play defensively until morning.
- Kneel at the dead end of Deborah Cliff with the Red Crystal equipped for a few seconds to reveal a hidden path to the next area.
