Enter the four stained-glass windows
Find Room of the Four Virtues in northwestern Notre-Dame. Equip the matching Arcana before interacting with a window. The trials can be completed before your first Dracula clear.
| Trial | Entry card and spell | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Courage | Warrior / Infernal Pyre | Defeat Joan in the rematch, then ring the bell. |
| Temperance | Whisperer / Freezing Path | Climb ahead of the rising Sea of Souls to the bell. |
| Justice | Judge / Chains of Justice | Cross the rising enemy-and-saw challenge to the bell. |
| Prudence | Sage / Mirror Walk | Cross the spike, saw and falling-object platform rooms to the bell. |
After all four bells, interact with the central altar and defeat Rose’s shadow to obtain Self / Absolution.
Get Whisperer for Temperance
Follow the three-eye door branch to Mammon. Take the Obol inside his room and exchange it with the Ferryman to obtain Whisperer / Freezing Path. Freezing Path is the entry requirement; that does not mean every step inside the trial requires casting it.
Find Sage’s four seal mirrors
| Region | Mirror room |
|---|---|
| Paris Streets | Prison Tower |
| Main Hall | Archives |
| Clock Tower | Mechanic’s Ascent |
| Notre-Dame | East Gallery |
Look for the marked mirror and crouch in front of it. Inside, break the seal above the mirror and complete the fight. Smash is described for the seal; players also suggest reaching the overhead chain seal with a long whip.
After the four mirrors, return to the grandmother’s mirror below Main Hall and follow the maze route to Succubus. Take the clue at the broken mirror below her arena, then visit Eleanor at the family mausoleum in the far west of Holy Innocents’ Cemetery to obtain Sage.
Archives is the Main Hall mirror room. Servants’ Hall and Dungeon are route locations, not substitute mirror names.
Prepare for the trials
For Courage, switch sides around sword attacks, jump ground slashes, move into the gaps between fire pillars and move behind Joan before the heavy landing attack.
For Temperance, keep climbing before the Sea of Souls reaches you. Double Jump helps with platforms. For Justice, track pursuing saws and deal with enemies from a safe platform before moving upward.
Prudence uses Mirror Walk: place a mirror, then cast again to return to it. Smash is suggested for quickly returning to the floor to avoid saws. A mirror lasting about 15 seconds is a spell property, not a universal room timer. This page covers the entry chain and spell preparation rather than a guaranteed four-room saw route.
Use Absolution at the ending
Equip Self for Dracula and hold the spell input during the post-second-form scene. Simply collecting the card does not finish the purification.
