Unlock 29 Castlevania: Belmont's Curse achievements, or 30 trophies including Platinum. You earn them by defeating bosses, collecting weapons and upgrades, getting each ending, and completing specific combat and exploration goals. The Castlevania: Belmont's Curse achievements list also includes a finish in less than four hours, so your completion route needs to account for both thorough exploration and a fast finish.
What are all the Castlevania: Belmont's Curse achievements?
The full list contains 29 achievements, with requirements ranging from defeating the Fallen to reaching 100% game completion.
Boss achievements
Each boss is listed by its tarot card name: the Fallen is the Fallen, Joan of Arc is the Warrior and Medusa is the Prophetess. All of them ask you to win the fight except the Judge, where you only have to survive the verdict. Stuck on one? See the bosses page.

What does the Castlevania: Belmont's Curse trophy list add?

On Xbox the 29 achievements add up to 1,000 gamerscore.
What should you prioritize in a Castlevania: Belmont's Curse trophy guide?
You need all three endings, 100% completion and a finish under four hours. Collecting everything and racing the clock don't mix, so it's easier to go for 100% first and do the under-four-hour run afterwards, once you know the route.
On the 100% run, keep an eye on the smaller lists too: Collector needs every health and mana upgrade, The Greatest Detective needs every clue, and Narcissus needs every mirror of life activated, not just found. The walkthrough covers the route.
Despite the name, Dialog Skipper is about time: skipping cutscenes only helps if you finish in under four hours. The three endings are explained on the ending page.
