Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness

Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a MultiWorld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

Warp Options

Warp Layout

Allows specifying a custom set of warps to be used, rather than it being a specific number of random ones. Type the names of each stage that you want to have a warp, separated by a semicolon. The starting stage does not need to be included. Example: Castle Center;Duel Tower;The Outer Wall creates warps for Castle Center, Duel Tower, and The Outer Wall, unlocked in that order if Warp Order is set to Seed Stage Order. If left blank or an invalid list is provided, a random selection will be used instead, the number of which can be specified in Total Random Warps.
This option allows custom values only. Please enter your desired values below.

Warp Order

Arranges the warps in the Z + R + START warp menu in whichever stage order chosen, thereby affecting the order they are unlocked in. Set Order only matters if using a custom Warp Layout; otherwise, Seed Stage Order will be deferred to.

Stage Randomization

Stage Layout

Which stages in the game appear in the slot and in what order. Supports creating a custom layout by typing the name of each stage separated by a semicolon. Note that because Castle Keep is always at the end, there is no need to specify it. That is, unless you intend to play a slot that is ONLY it... Example: Room of Clocks;Art Tower;Foggy Lake creates a layout of Room of Clocks followed by Art Tower followed by Foggy Lake. If Villa branches are enabled, the next 2, 3, or 5 non-Castle Center stages in the list after Villa will represent the branching path stages. Example: Villa;Forest of Silence;Foggy Lake;Clock Tower;Castle Wall;Duel Tower results in Villa followed by Forest of Silence on branch 1, Foggy Lake on branch 2, and Clock Tower, Castle Wall, and Duel Tower making up the Cornell path. If Castle Center branches are enabled, the next 4 non-Villa stages after Castle Center will represent the branching path stages. Example: Castle Center;Tower of Ruins;Tunnel;The Outer Wall;Tower of Science results in Castle Center followed by Tower of Ruins and Tunnel on branch 1, and The Outer Wall and Tower of Science on branch 2.
Custom values are also allowed for this option. To create one, enter it into the input box below.

Villa Branching Paths

Whether Villa is immediately followed by two diverging stage paths, three diverging stage paths, or three diverging stage paths with the third leading to two more stages that connect directly to the end of Castle Center. The latter option is only available if Castle Center is also enabled. If two paths are available, entering the Villa end coffin at day or night will send you to one path or the other. If three are available, entering within the following times will send you to path 1, 2, or 3 respectively: 12:01 AM - 8:00 AM, 8:01 AM - 4:00 PM, and 4:01 PM - 12:00 PM.

Location Pool Options

Multi-hit Breakables

Adds the items that drop from the objects that break in three hits to the pool. There are 18 of these throughout the game, adding up to 79 or 80 checks (depending on sub-weapons being shuffled anywhere or not) in total with all stages.

Behemoth Drops

Adds 7 items dropped by Behemoth's various body parts to the pool. They will all drop regardless of whether you destroy them with Holy Water or not, and will still be there if you were to leave and come back without picking them up. This can make clearing Castle Center fully a bit more worthwhile.

Adds two PermaUps to the item pool which, when found, will upgrade your B weapon level permanently and will stay even after dying and/or continuing. To compensate, all regular PowerUps will be removed from the game; they won't be in the pool or regular locations, nor will they drop from any enemy or projectile.

Permanent Sub-weapons

Adds three Perma versions of each sub-weapon to the item pool. The first weapon instance, when found, will allow switching to that weapon at will and then subsequent instances will unlock its upgraded forms permanently even after dying. To compensate, all regular sub-weapons will be removed from the game; they won't be in the pool or regular locations, nor will they drop from any enemy or projectile. Use R + D-pad Left/Right to switch between unlocked weapons, and Up/Down to change the weapon's level (if unlocked).

Disable Time Restrictions

Disables the restrictions on some doors and events that require the current time to be within a specific range, so they can be triggered at any time. Art Tower Only will only affect the doors in Art Tower, while All will affect every stage with such doors and events. In the Villa, this includes the fountain pillar if the Villa State is Reinhardt/Carrie, the meeting with Rosa if the Villa State is Reinhardt/Carrie or Hybrid, and/or the 6AM rose patch if the Villa State is Cornell or Hybrid. The Villa end coffin is not affected by this.

Skip Waterway Blocks

Opens the door to the third switch in Underground Waterway from the start so that the jumping across floating brick platforms won't have to be done. Shopping at the Contract on the other side of them may still be logically required if Shopsanity is on.

Goddess Statue Hints

Whether the goddess statues in Castle Center should contain hints as to the whereabouts of Magical Nitro and Mandragora. The elevator room statue will contain a hint for a Mandragora, the gear room statue will contain a hint for a Magical Nitro, and the library statue will have a hint for each. The area mentioned in the hint will be a location group the item's location is in, chosen at random if there's multiple.
