While playing it on the 3DS, you access the portal mid-game and look up any information regarding skills and upgrades, even boss strategies. Of course, the desktop versions offer detailed strategy videos so there’s that.

The strategy portal is divided into three portions: The Bestiary, which provides data about enemies and their weaknesses; Upgrades, which talks about the best way to use magic and sub-weapons; and Skills & Combos, for all the lovely ways to beat the tar out of your opponents.

You can also head here to view all the videos featured in the guide and search for the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate playlist.
