The Secret Sorcery Lab is a location in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Progression[]
Late in the game, visiting this zone at the southwest corner of the castle portion of the map will become mandatory once you have collected both the Reflector Ray in the Underground Sorcery Lab at the east end of the map and the Deep Sinker shard in the Hidden Desert at the southeast corner of the castle portion. The Secret Sorcery Lab is reached by traveling west from the far west Warp Room in the Forbidden Underground Waterway and using Reflector Ray to pass through the narrow gap while standing on the floor underwater.
The zone itself is fairly short and largely functions as the first part of a two-zone "stage" ending in the Inferno Cave zone immediately south of that, and Miriam's goal in this part of the map is to earn the Invert shard in the Inferno Cave. While traveling through this zone on her way there, Miriam will fight a Doppelganger of herself. Just outside the warp room is a Dark Elemental that can easily be made to respawn.

Bloodless Mode[]
Bloodless must go through a series of steps to reach this area. She must first go to the Towers of Twin Dragons and defeat Valac to claim the Blood Steal ability. She must then use the Blood Steal to drain the blood fountain in the Entrance, which gives her access to dry parts of the Forbidden Underground Waterway.
A corridor in the Waterway contains the Water Demon's Blood, which makes it safe to swim in water. She can then reach the Secret Sorcery Lab in the west without further issue, as there are portals that let her cross the narrow gaps in the way. A secluded room before the fight with the Doppelganger contains the Vampiric Blood, an upgrade for the Blood Steal.
Blood Shards[]
- Blood of Erudition × 1
- Vampiric Blood
Aurora Mode[]
On its own, this area contains little of interest to Aurora. It mostly serves as a passage down to the Inferno Cave, which is necessary to visit in order to make Aurora immune to environmental hazards.
Items[]
- Confession × 1
