In Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, hearts serve as both currency and experience. Spend them on items you need to progress, but avoid unnecessary purchases that use up resources you could save toward leveling.
Prioritize purchases that help you progress
The draft identifies the Silver Knife and Garlic as early purchases, but it does not specify their prices or the exact situations where each is required. Treat them as options to consider rather than a universal shopping list. Before buying, ask whether the item helps with your immediate obstacle or next mansion.
- Buy gear that addresses a current need.
- Skip purchases that do not help you reach the next area.
- Keep hearts available for experience when you do not need an item.
There are no specific costs or level thresholds available here, so you’ll need to weigh each purchase against your current needs rather than follow a fixed spending target.
