Maid in Bunny:Vampire Mansion

<<< To: The Graveyard


 * You start on V-9 with a Save Point.


 * Go east, north, east, north, north to X-6. Grab the Key.


 * Return to the entrance in V-9 and go west to U-9. Solve the statues puzzle.


 * Go north, then east to V-8. Grab the Key.


 * Go west, west to T-8. There's a semi-hidden Carrot Cake in the lower right corner (unreacheable for now).


 * Go north to T-7. Stock up on Bombs and blow up the northern wall in the center.


 * Go north, north (unlock the door), east, east (do not engage the enemies in this room), south to V-6. Plant a bomb in the center of the southern wall while avoiding getting hit.


 * Go south to V-7 and take Stairs A to Z-1.


 * Go south to Z-2 and collect the Rabbit Shoes.

New Item: Rabbit Shoes

The Rabbit Shoes allow Elena to automatically jump most of (but not all) the single-tile gaps, either in dungeons or outside. Notable examples are the broken bridges in the Graveyard and the rock in the water at N-6 in the overland map.


 * Retrace your steps to V-5. All the enemies in this room must be defeated to open the north door. The trick is that the skeleton at the top stands on the switch that activates the tiles in the middle. Take him out with a Towel or Magic Hand and use your newly-acquired shoes to get close and personal with the rest.


 * Before heading north, go west, west, north, east to U-4. Collect Health-Up #6.


 * Return to V-5 and go north, east, south, east to X-5. Save your game and proceed north to X-4 to face the Boss. If you need a Cake, the one in T-8 is now obtainable.

 Boss: Faith 

The vampire is a swift opponent. He's not particulary strong, but his ability to teleport can make the battle quite frustrating.

Faith can assume the form of three slowly travelling bats which never attack you.

Strategy : Damaging the bats four times in total (meaning at least 2 strikes that hit 2-3 bats each time) makes them regroup and turn into Faith again.

In vampire form, Faith can transform into bats again, or teleport, or launch three versions of the same magical attack:
 * 1) A single projectile that targets your current position;
 * 2) Three consecutives projectiles which travel in a straight line;
 * 3) Eight projectiles that appear around him and expand in all directions.

Strategy : Avoid them, avoid them, avoid them (especially the latter).

He can concatenate these attack multiple times, teleporting himself in a random location before launching the next attack or returning to bat form.

The biggest issue in this fight is trying to keep up with his pace, so generally lowering the game speed helps a lot. The best time to strike is when he is returning to vampire form. When the bats stop to regroup, there's a brief moment when Faith's figure isn't fully formed, so you should use this opportunity to land a blow. Another chance presents when he's casting the three projectiles attack, as he will be standing on the spot for a short time: avoid the attack and hit him from the side. Another possible strategy is to throw a Towel while he's casting his 8-projectiles attack. The right moment to throw is when he's covering his face with his cape.

Anyway, you need to hit him in vampire form 12 times with the Broom or Towels to end the fight. Hitting the bats is needed to make them change form, but does not contribute to the overall damage.

You are now in control of Mina.

Mina’s character is pretty much the same as Elena, with some minor differences.


 * 1) Mina's health and maximum health are equal to what Elena had at the end of the fight. Also notice that Mina’s health is measured in fish instead of carrots.
 * 2) If you look at the inventory screen, you’ll see that the main weapon of Mina is her Cat Claw. The Cat Claw hits as hard as the Broom, but has the short range of the Duster (although a little larger sidewise).
 * 3) She also has the Bucket (small or large) and the Pochette, if Elena bought them, and carries the same amount of Bombs and Towels that Elena had at the end of the fight. Mina uses Time Bombs, which are identical to Bombs.
 * 4) If Elena had a Carrot Cake, Mina will have it too (though in her case it becomes a Fish Cake).
 * 5) VERY IMPORTANT: Mina can jump over the single-tile gaps even if she doesn’t have the Rabbit Shoes.
 * 6) Lastly, she carries her Whetstone (nice touch).

(Note: If Elena ended her fight with low health, Mina may be in a precarious situation. She also can save and rest at the Tree.)
 * Ok, let’s call this part “Never Bring a Cat to a Vampire Wedding”. Lead Mina along the same path as Elena and reach the door in X-5.

(Note 2: As long as you control Mina, the appearance of some items on the screen will change accordingly, e.g. carrots are fish, etc.)


 * Mina is now on P-3 in the Graveyard. Jump over the broken bridge and go west to O-3. Jump again and go south to O-4 through the left side. Enter Shop #4.

New Item: Invitation


 * Walk all the way back to X-5 inside the mansion, interact with the door and go north to X-4.


 * You are now in X-3. Jump and grab the Key.


 * Go north to X-2. Detonate a Time Bomb in the center of the northern wall and proceed to X-1. One of the heavy blocks is actually a Mimic. Get rid of it and pick up the Map.


 * Go south, south, west, north to W-2. Solve the statues puzzle.


 * Go north to W-1 and take Stairs B to R-2.


 * Go north to R-1 and take Stairs C to T-3.


 * Go north to T-2. Plant a Time Bomb in the center of the northern wall and enter T-1. Collect the Blue-5 Gemstone.


 * Go south, south, east to U-3. Make sure you're ready, then save the game, interact with the door and go north to U-2.

 Boss: Faith (again) 

Faith looks angrier and faster than before, and the fight is a step up from the previous one in terms of difficulty. He retains almost all of his moves from the previous fight, with a few differences.

This time he will turn into 5 bats when shapeshifting.

Strategy : The method is the same: hit four bats. It means that this time a well-aimed hit will be enough to make them group up and turn into Faith again.

In vampire form, he teleports much faster and more often, and has a couple of new tricks. He loses the three projectile attack and gains two new attacks. The first is a series of grenade-like shots that follow an arcing trajectory and explode on the ground, while the second is a new version of the 8-projectiles attack. Instead of spreading out in a straight line, these projectiles slowly travel in an expanding circle around him.

Strategy : Avoid them. The first attack isn’t very hard to dodge, but the added randomness makes it more unpredictable. The second attack is nastier, because the projectiles will persist on the screen for a relatively long time, during the which Faith can (and will) chain other types of attacks (including the same one).

The fight is made even more difficult by the fact that Mina's weapon has a short range, which means you need to be much closer to Faith to land a blow. For this reason, I suggest using Towels. The chance that he will perform an 8-projectiles attack is doubled, so he will spend more time standing still in place. Moreover, using Towels makes you relatively safe from these attacks. Also remember that the old strategy of striking him when the bats are regrouping is still viable.

This time you’ll need to hit him in vampire form 14 times with the Broom or Towels. Lowering the game speed is almost essential.

You are in control of Elena again.

New Item: Wedding Dress

The Wedding Dress provides twice as much defense as the Maid's Clothes.


 * You are now in U-2. Go north to U-1 and collect the third Jewel.
