The Castle Abilities Include:
Reality Warping (The Castle does not work on standard logic, where changing rooms can have one view a completely different background[41], such as room with a blue sky that is reflecting up and downwards and having the cloud srotate at a fast speed[42]), Transmutation (Beings that come near are subject to the castle's influence, such as a local barnyard owl which was mutated just from flying near it[43]), Possession (The castle possesses objects with its magic, such as a ouija table[44]), Sealing (Dracula's magic captured Aguni, a primitive god of fire[45]. The Castle has doors sealed off without solving puzzles[46]. This can extend to walls being sealed off where explosions will not affect it until the seal is gone[47]), Mind Manipulation (Everything that enters the castle is under the control by the power of Dracula's castle[48], the ghost of Eric Lecarde needed to cast a magic barrier to bind himself so he could be free from the control of the castle[49]. The Castle corrupts the minds of those who enter it, such as making Maxim Kischine feel strange ever since coming to it[50]. It also corrupted the mind of Hugh turning him against Nathan with Nathan noting he's being controlled by Dracula[51]. The castle increases one's dark desires, allowing Dracula to easily control them[52]. The magic of Dracula's power that empowers the owl enemy also spurs it to violence[53]), Madness Manipulation (The Castle warped Gergoth, a once-gentle beast and drove it mad[54]), Size Manipulation (Magically enlarged a toad through the use of demonic baptism[55]), Fear Manipulation (Even while far away, Curtis and Michelle felt malicious intent from the castle where their bodies seemed to squeal "run away"[56]. Michelle even being at the entrance to the castle had her body telling her to not go in and her leg muscles being petrified like stone[57]), Curse Manipulation (The Curse status that spirits inflict[58] comes from them absorbing the magic power around the castle. The Castle cursed a human to turn into a lizard man[59]), Life Manipulation (The castle can bring inanimate statues to life to attack[60]. Can cause the glass murals to come to life and attack[61]), Soul Manipulation (Those that die in the castle become one of the floating spirits that wander the halls of the castle for eternity[62]), Abstract Manipulation & Hell Manipulation (The castle can create a core of evil made from hatred, envy, anger and other dark emotions[63]), Text Manipulation & Plot Manipulation (The vital souls are noted to be apart of the Castle's power[64], where is noted by Lucy that the "vital soul" of a monster is the cause of the grimoire chaos[65] where creatures of the night's dark powers allowed them to rewrite the Grimoires to strengthen their dark powers greatly[66], along with their vital souls causing the grimoires contents to be overwritten changing history to things such as Jonathan Morris is now at a disadvantage in battle[67], or Charlotte fading from existence due to them messing with the history of the Grimoires[68], Maria starting to fade because Richter's history is being rewritten[69], where if the contents of the book change the creatures magic will keep growing and eventually overflow into reality, causing the grimoire to fall into chaos and even more monsters materializing into the real world[70]. The text alterations also make the monsters stronger[71]. With the real world and world of grimoires being considered the same or "equal"[72], compared to the like of Brauner's painting worlds that are quantum multi-layered spaces requiring understandings of theories such as "Curse Amplification"[73]. Death was going to use Dracula's magic to rewrite Dracula's defeat to Trevor making it where Dracula defeats Trevor Belmont instead where Dracula would go on living in the rewritten grimoire with each grimoire being its own world and the grimoires influence extends into reality[74]), Law Manipulation (The vital souls are noted to be apart of the Castle's power[75], which alter grimoires, which do not adhere to the laws of reality[76]), Power Modification (The vital souls are noted to be apart of the Castle's power[77], which the vital souls cause alterations of the Grimoire that can greatly limit the powers of those far stronger than them, such as Jonathan Morris' power being limited due to the alterations[78]. The Chaos of the Grimoire destabilized the magic of the others[79])The official discord link if you wish to join the discord: https://discord.gg/j5RKwCvAFu

~ Henry to the six missing kids |
Background
Henry Oldrey is one of the playable characters in *Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness*. His role spans both his own dedicated adventure and an appearance during Cornell's quest, where he is portrayed as a 10-year-old boy. Years later, Henry matures into a powerful and imposing figure, donning medieval knight-style armor. Unlike traditional vampire hunters, his weapon of choice is a firearm, showcasing a distinct approach to combat.
This dropdown contains the synopsis of Henry Oldrey’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise! |
---|
Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness Henry later reunites with Cornell at the conclusion of Cornell’s journey. Along with his sister, Ada, Henry looks to the future, determined to start a new chapter in life. Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness – Henry's Quest Unlike the other character quests, Henry’s journey is less plot-driven and more open-ended. The order in which the children are rescued depends on the player’s choices, and the quest features minimal cutscenes. There is no central boss or enemy to defeat, and the ending is relatively short, with slight changes based on how many children the player succeeds in rescuing. |

Aeon notes that vampires exist for eternity[150]. Walter is noted to be a vampire that has eternal life[151]. The biggest hindrance to humans when attempting to accomplish something is their limited lifespans, a limitation that cannot be overcome, however, dwellers of the darkness do not apply to the laws of the human world, ignoring such limitations[152]. Immortal Metaphysical Aspect; Vampires will someday come back to life despite them being killed due to being immortal[153]), Acausality (Causality Immunity; All immortal beings disrupt the flow of time according to Aeon[154]. With their souls being completely free from time[155]. The biggest hindrance to humans when attempting to accomplish something is their limited lifespans, a limitation that cannot be overcome, however, dwellers of the darkness do not apply to the laws of the human world, ignoring such limitations[156]), Free Will (Vampires do not follow the hand of God and instead choose of their own free will[157], defying God's decree[158]), Enhanced Senses (Vampires can smell that Reinhardt Schneider and Carrie Fernandez smell different from the usual adventurer[159]), Surface Scaling (Vampires can stand on ceilings[160]), Flight (Vampires can either naturally levitate grow wings to fly[161], turn into a bat[162], or into mist[163]), Immersion (Vampires can infuse magic into paintings to increase their power[164]), Empowerment (Vampires are loved by the night, making them so powerful that vampires like Walter Bernhard never been defeated before Leon Belmont gained the vampire killer[165]. Noted by Leon that the night should help Joachim Armster as well due to him being a vampire, with the only reason it doesn't is due to Walter holding the ebony stone[166]), Resurrection (Even if one somehow manages to kill a vampire, they will someday come back to life despite them being killed due to being immortal[167]), Transformation (Shapeshifting; Vampires can assume the shape of a wolf, a bat or fog[168]. Vampires can disguise themselves as huamns[169]), Teleportation (Vampires possess the ability to teleport freely[170]. Even non-threatening vampires such as Rosa, fade out from view[171]), Power Suppression (Vampires can submerge their own vampiric powers if needed[172]), Life-Force Absorption (Vampires can consume one's lifeforce[173], allowing them to heal themselves through biting into a victim[174]), Vampirification (Vampires can turn others into vampires[175], Walter turned Rinaldo's daughter into a vampire[176]), Invisibility (Vampires possess natural aura of darkness, which makes one unable to see those with an aura of darkness by the naked eye[177]), Time Manipulation (Passive; All immortal beings disrupt the flow of time according to Aeon[178]), Animal Manipulation (Bats serve under the control of vampires[179], being freely spawnned by any vampire[180]), Cloth Manipulation (A vampire's blood can transform clothes, such as Hector combining a vampire's blood with a prince's clothes to get Dracula's clothes[181]), Electricity Manipulation (Vampires can sometimes have electricity form around them as they transform[182]), Soul Manipulation (The candles in Castlevania are people's souls that were taken by Death or by vampires[183]), Text Manipulation & Plot Manipulation (Passive; Vampire's dark powers allowed them to rewrite the Grimoires to strengthen their dark powers greatly[184]. It is noted by Lucy that the "vital soul" of a monster is the cause of the grimoire chaos[185]. Their vital souls are causing the grimoires contents to be overwritten changing history to things such as Jonathan Morris is now at a disadvantage in battle[186], or Charlotte fading from existence due to them messing with the history of the Grimoires[187], Maria starting to fade because Richter's history is being rewritten[188], where if the contents of the book change the creatures magic will keep growing and eventually overflow into reality, causing the grimoire to fall into chaos and even more monsters materializing into the real world[189]. The text alterations also make the monsters stronger[190]. With the real world and world of grimoires being considered the same or "equal"[191], compared to the like of Brauner's painting worlds that are quantum multi-layered spaces requiring understandings of theories such as "Curse Amplification"[192]), Law Manipulation (Vampires can alter grimoires, which do not adhere to the laws of reality[193]), Power Modification (Vampire's alterations of the Grimoire can greatly limit the powers of those far stronger than them, such as Jonathan Morris' power being limited due to the alterations[194]. The Chaos of the Grimoire destabilized the magic of the others[195]).

Notable Technqiues
If Fully Infected by Vamp Status
Standard Vampire Techniques
- Blood Draining: Vampires can bite and drink the blood of their victims. Blood acts as a source of energy and life for vampires and creatures of the night, an example of this being Red Skeletons who endlessly[209] regenerate[210], from any kind[211] of damage due to it absorbing blood[212].
- Transformation: Vampires are able to turn into bats, wolves, fog, and other sorts of creatures as they please.
- Super Strength: Vampires are incredibly superhumanly strong, even for the average creature of the night, being noted to be stronger than even Werewolves.
- Super Speed: Vampires can move incredibly fast, to where all of them leave behind light projections due to how fast they're moving, while they can control their speeds even to approach speeds such as sound. They are normally beyond even other creatures in the castle such as the White Demon who moves at the speed of light at top speed.
Other
Standard Tactics: Henry will use his gun and the sub-weapon that best suits the situation.
Weaknesses
- Vamp Status Weaknesses: If inflicted with the vamp status, one is unable to use health restoration items and do distance attacks, then after a certain period of time one will become a vampire, corrupting them[213].
- Unique Weaknesses: Nothing notable.
- Creature of the Night Weaknesses: Creatures of the night become weaker when exposed to the morning sun[214]. Garlic significantly weakens creatures of the night[215], and causes demons to die if its placed on the ground[216]. If a vital soul is defeated, the grimoire will revert back to its original content[217].
- Standard Vampire Weaknesses: After a vampire is sufficiently weakened, the sunlight can kill them[218]. Otherwise Vampires can stand out in the sunlight just fine[219]. Though some weaker vampires can have the sun burn them overtime, killing them[220]. Oak Stakes are able to break through the magic of a weakened vampire[221]. Defeating a vampire will stop the effects of someone they have bitten, but only before they've turned[222]. This is shown in Harmony of Dissonance where through Juste killing Dracula's Wraith, the bite marks on Lydie have vanished[223]. Vampires reflections do not appear on mirrors, making them easier to identify[224]. Vampires are noted to be weak during the dawn[225].
Note
- Contrary to popular belief, holy attacks and the whips in Castlevania can affect and harm people that aren't apart of the creatures of the night. Leon's doppelganger can use holy water and holy attacks against him in this fight along with the alchemy whip despite Leon being a pure and noble warrior[227]. Simon's doppelganger can harm him with the vampire killer, despite Simon being a noble hero. Holy Water even works and harms enemies such as the "Holy Armor"[228], a knight who has natural holy powers[229]. Corrupted enemies such as Charlie Vincent, use holy water attacks on Carrie and Reinhardt[230].
- While vampires have some weakness to sunlight and can burn overtime in them[231], higher tier vampires[232], can stand out in the sunlight just fine[233] without being weakened. It should also be noted even with Dhamphir's like Alucard, in original lore, he was considered a full vampire yet could stand out in the sunlight perfectly fine.
Miscellaneous Feats
Trivia
- This is the first character in the series to fight with a firearm.
- The "victory" fanfare that plays whenever Henry saves a child is an excerpt from the Theme of Simon Belmont, first introduced to the series in Super Castlevania IV.
- Henry's gameplay is based on the gameplay of the cut character Coller, who was turned into the Frankenstein Gardener players meet in the garden maze in the Villa stage. The major difference is that Coller was supposed to use a shotgun, while Henry uses a six-shot pistol.
- Ironically, Cornell has to save Henry from the Gardener during the story.
- Henry's exploration area is considerably more limited compared to the other three playable characters, consisting of only six levels, each of which is centered around rescuing a specific child. While some players may consider this section of the game to be less significant or forgettable due to its size, it's important to note that Henry's quest provides a unique chance to unlock secret characters and costumes, making it a worthwhile experience for those interested in fully exploring the game.
- Despite sources online saying that Henry is 10 to 18, there has been no found official source on this so far.

“Only…… protect…… you……-----“
When he said those words he must say, the man’s soul already left his body-----becoming one of the floating spirits that wander the halls of the castle.
However-----
Fate did not allow it.
For those people who are involved with the demon castle, even the loneliness of death seemed half hearted-----

However, in this world, there is no such thing as forever. [They] had understood that Dracula’s regeneration cycle ought to have ended. Indeed, people have prepared for this but will it still exist?

- ↑ WN: Last question. Why does Dracula keep putting meat inside the walls of his castle?
KI: You should ask, why do they eat it! I've thought about this stuff.
I've actually thought about the candles. The candles are people's souls that were taken by Death or by the vampires. In Japan there are candles that represent life. So, when you release the souls from the candles by whipping them, they give you a "thank you" present. Thank-you hearts, or thank-you holy water.
The meat, I have no idea. - ↑ Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls Prologue Stage 4
