Vlad's Castle is a secret area in Spelunky 2.
Accessing[]
The Drill's path to Vlad's Castle.
Vlad's Castle spawns in the backlayer of either 2-2, 2-3, or 2-4 of Volcana. It is typically entered via a backlayer door in a red brick structure at the very bottom of the level.
A Drill spawns on the top row of the level Vlad's Castle spawned in. Placing the Udjat Eye in a nearby socket activates the Drill, boring a large hole through the bottom of the level and leaving a climbable chain down to the entrance to Vlad's Castle.
Features[]
Entering the backlayer containing Vlad's Castle triggers the message "Your blood begins to run cold..." Beside the entrance to the backlayer is a Four Leaf Clover.
Above the entrance is a small cave system, before reaching the castle itself. The bottom of the castle contains four Coffins, Conveyor Belts, and a pit of Spikes. Ascending past this section to the middle portion of the castle is an area containing Arrow Traps, and a room accessed via Sliding Walls that can treasure, Chests, Crates, and the level's Curse Pot.
At the very top of the level is the Crown on a statue. Vlad himself rests above the statue, who drops Vlad's Cape if killed.
