In this Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse achievement guide, I cover all the achievements and explain how to unlock them, including hidden boss achievements, collectibles, weapons, Arcana blessings, and alternate endings. I also list all 34 Mirrors of Life and 40 clues to help with 100% completion. I include tips for finding secret areas, unlocking every ending, and tracking missing collectibles. Custom settings can also make the game easier without affecting achievements.
