Castlevania: Lords of Shadow gem, scroll and upgrade guide

Shadow Magic Gem #1

From the starting point of this level, head left. The corpse containing this gem is not far.

Light Magic Gem

If you run around to the backside of the portal you used to enter this level, you’ll find a corpse holding a Light Magic Gem.

Scroll #1

Ironically, in the spot with the large gap where the game tells you “Your Wings can also help you jump higher and further,” you should drop down instead. You’ll find a dead knight carrying a scroll.

Scroll #2

If you take the right path out of the first Headless Burrower’s camp, you’ll see a large gap. Make the leap by sprinting and double-jumping and climb up the cliff face to reach this scroll.

Shadow Magic Gem #2

If you take the left path out of the first Headless Burrower’s camp, you’ll reach the large gap seen above. Your goal will be to make the lead and land on the higher ledge.

Here you’ll find another camp, and another corpse carrying a gem.

Life Magic Gem

Scroll #1

From the second crow’s perch, head right. You’ll find this corpse next to a giant pumpkin.

Scroll #2

If you continue to the right of where you found the above scroll, you’ll come upon a destroyed barn where one of the Scarecrows is resting. Behind the house you’ll find a dead knight holding a scroll.

Life Magic Gem

Light Magic Gem

Grab the green cylinder right away, and use it in the device to your right. This opens up a path where a dead knight is clearly visible. You can loot him now, but you’ll be killed. Luckily if you time it right, the gem will be permanently in your inventory just before death.
