Salazar Castle

Template:Era

The Salazar Castle is an enormous fortress and monastery complex, located just outside the gates to El Pueblo. Leon and Ashley escape from the village and into the castle while attempting to evade a large horde of pursuing enemies.

Owned by its eighth Castellan Ramon Salazar, the castle is the spiritual base of Los Illuminados. Beneath its great foundation, the Las Plagas have remained in fossil form for centuries until they were recently mined and set upon the innocent villagers of El Pueblo.

Within its walls hides both an opulent palace and a number of horrific deathtraps. Many rooms within the castle house the most menacing creatures in the game.

Areas of interest include an extensive hedge maze filled with Salazar's "pets," many large towers, including one that houses a gigantic statue of Salazar himself, and an extensive sewer and cave system, housing some of the castellan's pet insects.

The Castle begins at Chapter 3-1 and continues until Chapter 4-4. The most common enemies of the castle are the Zealots, the religious cultists of the Los Illuminados. They are armed with flails and occasionally scythes. Further into the castle you will eventually reach the Plaga Mines, where you meet up with some familiar foes. Among the many sub-bosses in the castle include Armaduras, Garradors, Zealot Leaders, and Dr. Salvadors. Bosses include Salazar's "right hand" Verdugo, Twin El Gigantes, and finally Salazar himself.
