Warp Room

Warp Rooms are a gameplay mechanic in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. They are special rooms scattered throughout various areas of the game (mainly inside the Hellhold) where the player can teleport to previously explored areas in order to reduce backtracking.

Description

Warp Rooms appear as green squares on the game map to differentiate them from Save Rooms (red) and from the rest of the areas of the game. Inside these rooms is a large stained glass depicting a blond man holding a flute and clad in what appears to be green Medieval peasant attire. Just by entering a Warp Room will unlock it as a possible warp destination. The player cannot teleport to a Warp Room in an area they haven't previously been to.

Pressing UP on the directional pad or left thumbstick while standing in front of the stained glass will bring up a map of the entire game; the player can then move around with the directional pad/left thumbstick to highlight their desired destination from all the other Warp Rooms they have already unlocked, and then press the confirmation button to be instantly teleported to that location. This process is animated as the stained glass shattering and the protagonist jumping inside the revealed void, and then exiting the same way at their destination, with the stained glass reconstructing itself as the protagonist comes out of it.

Trivia

• The overall characteristics and usage of these rooms are based on the Warp Rooms from the Castlevania franchise, which serve exactly the same purpose.
• The blond young man playing the flute and clad in green Medieval peasant attire that is depicted on the stained glass may be a reference to Link, the main protagonist of The Legend of Zelda series, who wears similar attire and usually plays an Ocarina to teleport to other areas of the games he appears in.
