The Hollow Bone is a relic in Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse that rewards whip swings on anchors with extra running speed. It is tucked away in the Clock Tower, a short trip from a save point.

Quick answer: In the Clock Tower, locate the little chamber on Daedalus Crossing’s western side and open the chest at its extreme left. Sprint through when the falling stone slabs leave an opening. Mechanic’s Ascent has the closest Mirror of Life.


Where the Hollow Bone is

A dark chest sits along the room’s leftmost wall. Enter the chamber through the doorway on the left side of Daedalus Crossing’s large hall.

  • Area: Clock Tower
  • District: Daedalus Crossing, through the left door of the main hall
  • Container: dark chest at the far left end of the small room
  • Hazard: Chains suspend massive stone blocks, which crash down onto the floor at the room’s center
  • Nearest Mirror of Life: Mechanic’s Ascent

You can also see the Hollow Bone on our map. For the rest of the area’s pickups, there is a list of all items in the Clock Tower, and a separate rundown of every relic location.


How to get there

Start at the Mechanic’s Ascent Mirror of Life. Leave the mirror room through its right door.
In the next room, ride the cage elevator up to Daedalus Crossing. Start it with Interact (E).
Go through the left door of Daedalus Crossing. It leads into the small room that holds the relic.
Descend the stairs, then turn left. Dust bursts up as the heavy stone blocks crash down onto the floor. Let one hit first, then dash through the gap before another falls.

Use Interact (E) on the dark chest at the extreme left end. The HOLLOW BONE relic card then appears on screen to verify you’ve collected it.

What the Hollow Bone does

After Rose spends 5 seconds using the whip on an anchor, her movement speed rises by 35%. The card reads:

“Rose’s movement speed is increased by 35% after using the whip on an anchor for 5 seconds.”

Its flavour text adds: “Preserved in a cabinet of curiosities, this avian relic defies all natural classification.”

You can equip it straight from the card with Hold to equip, or later from the Equipment screen. It fits routes with lots of whip anchors. To compare it with other relics, check how the relics rank.
