The Miser Arcana Location in Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse

The Miser is the Arcana tied to Mammon, and you cannot simply walk up to its boss and fight. The door to his lair stays sealed until you carry three matching eye relics and slot them into place. Each eye sits in a different corner of the map, so the real work is the collection run, not the fight.

Quick answer: Equip Thrilling Eye, Oozing Eye, and Trembling Eye, then use the Gate of Flesh in the Catacombs of Paris to unlock Miser’s Lair. Defeat Mammon there to obtain The Miser Arcana.

The three eye relics you need

All three eyes are key relics that describe themselves as fragments “awaiting reunion with its kin.” You need every one before the gate responds. Here is where each sits.

Relic	Area	District
Thrilling Eye	Paris Streets	Hospital (reached via the rooftops)
Oozing Eye	Catacombs of Paris	Circle of Greed
Trembling Eye	Holy Innocents’ Cemetery	Pillaged Tombs

Collect in any order. The gate only checks that all three are equipped in your relic slots at the same time, not the sequence in which you found them.

Collect the Thrilling Eye in Paris Streets

Open your map and head for Paris Streets, around the Street of the Tomb Masons toward Holy Innocents’ Cemetery. The Thrilling Eye marker points you to the Hospital interior.

Cross the rooftops and drop into the Hospital. Fight through the skeletons and trap rooms, then work down to the lower lever mechanisms to reach the altar.

Interact with the altar to claim the Thrilling Eye. The relic card appears with its description once it is yours.

Collect the Oozing Eye in the Catacombs of Paris

Travel into the Catacombs of Paris and look for the Circle of Greed district on your map.

Step 2: Locating Oozing Eye on Map — The Catacombs map leading into the Circle of Greed for the Oozing Eye. Shown at 01:45 in 100% Guides’s video. Image: KONAMI

This one is a platforming pickup. Use your whip to grapple and dash across the floating rings onto the high platform, then grab the Oozing Eye there.

Collect the Trembling Eye in Holy Innocents’ Cemetery

Make your way to Holy Innocents’ Cemetery and the Pillaged Tombs district.

Push past the hazard corridor. Dash around the explosive gas bulbs and wall-jump through the spike traps to keep moving.

Step 3: Navigating to Trembling Eye — Threading the spike wall and gas bulbs on the way to the Trembling Eye. Shown at 02:16 in 100% Guides’s video. Image: KONAMI

Break through the webbed roots blocking the altar, then interact with it to take the Trembling Eye.

The Hospital Relic clue in the Bishop’s Office

The Bishop’s Office in Paris Streets holds diary pages that count as clues for The Miser. In the Bishop’s Office, break the cracked wall just right of the entrance door with attacks. Behind it is a small side room with a desk; press Interact (E) there. Rose says “Looks like a page of someone’s diary…” and the page titled HOSPITAL RELIC opens:

“February 3, year of our Lord 1499. Since I accepted my gift, my hands quake with palsy unless I grasp a coin or a bit of silver. My relic in the hospital soothed my frayed nerves. The stranger said he could erase the burden completely. All I must do is write a letter. I wrote as dictated and sent my last messenger. God save us. God save me.”

The Hospital Relic diary page found in the Bishop's Office side room — The HOSPITAL RELIC diary page, a clue for The Miser.

“Catacomb Relic”: the second page is on a desk on the loft above that side room. At the desk Rose says “Hmm, someone ripped out a page of a diary.” and the page titled CATACOMB RELIC reads: “March 13, year of our lord 1499. The Deacon stole it! He stole my precious wheel. Now he lies dead at my feet. I cannot stay here. I will board a ship and vanish to a far away land. But I cannot leave yet. I must have my relics. I must retrieve that which lies in the catacombs. And plenty of gold and silver for the journey. I cannot leave without my GOLD.”

Open the Gate of Flesh and beat Mammon

Return to the Catacombs of Paris and head to the Gate of Flesh, the circular fleshy door set with empty eye sockets.

Pause, open your equipment menu, and slot the Thrilling Eye, Oozing Eye, and Trembling Eye into your three relic slots. This replaces whatever you had equipped, such as the Dark Sigil, so swap your usual relics back later.

Step 4: Equipping Relics and Opening Gate — All three eyes equipped in the relic slots before touching the gate. Shown at 02:58 in 100% Guides’s video. Image: KONAMI

Interact with the door. The three embedded sockets wake with the eyes equipped and the passage into Miser’s Lair opens.

Step inside. A short exchange between Rose and Leon plays, then the fight against Mammon’s golden knight begins. Defeat him to drop a golden orb.

How to confirm you got The Miser

Mammon’s defeat makes the All that glitters is not gold trophy pop. This concealed Steam achievement has a 0.3% unlock rate, and seeing it appear is your first sign that the battle registered.

Interact with the golden orb he leaves behind to absorb The Miser Arcana. The card then appears in your deck, ready to equip. One extra payoff: beating Mammon opens the treasure chest in this arena that holds the Ferryman’s Obol, which later leads to the Whisperer’s Arcana.

The Miser Arcana reference

Once it is in your deck, The Miser grants the Wheel of Chaos spell. Here are the card’s core details.

Field	Value
Arcana number	9
Character	Mammon
Spell	Wheel of Chaos
Clues	4
Boss arena	Catacombs of Paris, Mammon’s Lair

To fully upgrade the card, complete its Works of Mercy. The Miser has three:

Have the wheel spin for 15 seconds without interruption.
Kill 5 different enemies with one wheel.
Spend 1000 mana points on recasts of this spell.

Clearing all three completes the card’s arc and frees up its upgrade points, so Wheel of Chaos becomes a far more flexible tool than the version you first pick up in Miser’s Lair.
