Bloodstained Wiki

The Bridge of Evil is a location in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. It connects the Garden of Silence to the Underground Sorcery Lab.

Progression[]

For a complete room-by-room breakdown, see Bridge of Evil/Comprehensive Map

This small, narrow zone is split into three parts: the west train station, the train sequence itself, and the train station at the east end of the zone. The west station can be reached as soon as you have gotten past the east end of the Garden of Silence, and you can farm the enemies lining the hallway, but a machine at the end will amount to a dead end at first. Your mandatory path at this point is up through the southwest quadrant of the Towers of Twin Dragons situated above the Bridge of Evil.

Bypassing this machine and boarding the train is enabled by completing the following steps in order:

The first time you approach the train, cutscenes take over, and you will take part in a scripted version of the train ride where Zangetsu will help Miriam surmount its obstacles. You will have 5 minutes to reach the east end of the train and fight the Glutton Train boss, after which you will be deposited at the east train station. It isn't possible to use a Waystone to exit the train ride section during the player's first visit to this area with Zangetsu.

From here on out, whenever you step onto the train at either side's station, a non-scripted version of the train ride sequence will take place oriented in the corresponding direction. You will have the time to sit at the glamorous seats roughly in the middle of the long zone representing the moving train and spend a couple minutes sitting idly while the camera looks out through the window. The uniquely dangerous Kunekune enemy will eventually show up, and Miriam must avoid facing toward it and instead rely on offenses that reach behind her to slay it without suffering rapid damage and Curse status.

The train will automatically deposit Miriam back at the next station after five minutes pass, though she can fast-forward through the remaining time by pressing Up at the prompt at the end of the train zone.

In a piece of content added to the game post-launch, if you buy a Crown of Creation and wear it on an eastbound trip on the train, you will end up in the special Dead Lands zone instead of near the Underground Sorcery Lab, where you can fight a special enemy for the novelty Familiar: Archer shard.

Bookcases[]

Other modes[]

The train ride is simplified for Zangetsu, Bloodless and Aurora in their campaigns. None of them need a Passplate to board the train, so they can pass through the area much earlier than Miriam. There is no time limit, but there is also no character present to help the protagonist, making the fight with the Glutton Train harder.

Bloodless Mode[]

In Bloodless's campaign specifically, there are no Blood Shards in this area.
