The Jewel Knuckles are a fist weapon in Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse. They sit in a chest you can see from the gallery floor, but you can’t walk straight to it.

Quick answer: You’ll find the Jewel Knuckles inside a gold chest on the Old Gallery’s upper-right balcony, within the Main Hall. Start from the left balcony, use your whip to latch onto the suspended anchor, and swing across.


Where the Jewel Knuckles are

The chest is located in the Main Hall’s Old Gallery. Red stairs lead through this portrait hall, where a painting of a pale man with long hair hangs centrally and a hooded statue stands before it.

Look above the gallery floor to the upper right balcony for the gold chest; a tall green stained-glass window is farther to the right.

At Elevator Tower, use the closest Mirror of Life. Head right to the Grand Hall, then enter the Old Gallery through the door on the hall’s right side.

The Jewel Knuckles appear alongside every weapon location and in the list of all items in the Main Hall. Our interactive map opens on the Jewel Knuckles on our map.


How to reach the balcony

Go through the right-side door of the Grand Hall to enter the Old Gallery. The portrait and the hooded statue confirm you’re in the right room.
