Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DC): Part 3: Visiting the Empty Wygol Village

Shanoa had just recently caught up to Albus, but then he got away again. Shanoa then picked up a map Albus had dropped. A red X marked the location of a nearby village that she decided to check out. ---------- Upon reaching Nygol Village, Shanoa saw a man trapped in crystal by a Glyph. You absorb this Torpor Glyph to release him. The old man was Nikolai, he is the religious founder of the village who was trapped by Albus. But this was not the end of it, as all of his villagers have been kidnapped by Albus! Men, women, even children... There are 12 other villagers missing in total, and Nikolai sees Shanoa as a guardian angel sent from God to save them all. To continue following Albus' trail, Nikolai suggested that Shanoa heads towards a Prison Island found across the sea, but first Shanoa must tread through forest past this village. ---------- Nygol Village will be your hub for this game that you will return to a lot. Besides Nikolai, it's pretty tragically empty, but as you save more villagers (and their cats), it'll become more lively. These missing villagers will in return help you out in various ways, assuming you have what they need or want. You can easily use this village to save your game, or even refill on HP and Hearts. The village here even has basic brown Treasure Chests that will regenerate after fighting a major boss. ---------- For now, it's time to head through that forest.
