PrinceWatercress plays Master of Darkness (SMS) - Part 2 of 5

Our adventure takes us into a wax museum...and what we learn here makes it even more dangerous!

Round 2: The House of Wax Dolls

Round 2, Stage 1

When the women in the white dresses start flashing at the beginning of the stage, be ready to either attack them or jump over them. I had better luck jumping over them due to how quick they are.

Once you go a little further in the museum, there will be rooms where the background will flicker and a siren will be heard until you defeat all enemies. For these rooms, you can stay on the right side of the room to defeat all the wax women that teleport into the room and move back and forth.

Round 2, Stage 2

Be careful at the beginning; there are wraiths and bats that will knock you off the platforms. There is knockback in this game, but thankfully, it is nowhere near as bad as the Castlevania games this game is based on. The single square platforms will fall when you land on them.

The knives will fly into the air before stabbing at you. There are also candelabras, chairs, paintings and even tables that will move around and throw themselves into you.

If you can find a Dr. Social doll, grab it. It's a 1-Up. Sadly, the ones in the white masks are not only few and far between, they're also in hard-to-reach places.

Round 2, Stage 3

After the start, you'll have to leap out of the building and get on the rooftops. The bats here will go right up before slowly coming at you. You'll then have to go up a tower. At the top, there is a potion to restore some health in the white mask to the right.

The boss here is a woman in a pink dress who creates smoke that turns into a skull. The bomb is the best sub-weapon to have here, as you can stand in the corner and throw bombs at the skull while it flies around. Otherwise, you'll have to stand on the platforms and anticipate where the skull is going a lot more while trying to both hit and avoid it.

Eventually, the skull will go down, and the woman will go down with it. She will tell you to go to the cemetery east of town before falling unconscious. You'll also learn that Jack The Ripper was collecting bodies and blood as sacrificial offerings to dark forces.
