Paris is full of things eager to drain Rose’s health, which makes every Brave Heart Fragment worth chasing. Collect four fragments to gain a complete heart and extend the health meter—a modest reward on paper, but a meaningful advantage when the journey turns dangerous. This guide follows all 24 locations shown in the video, with a route that carries Rose from the city streets into the strangest corners of the adventure. For more on the series’ gothic legacy, see Castlevania’s history and the official Castlevania site.
Begin the hunt in the streets beneath Paris
The first three fragments are scattered across the Paris Streets: one in the Prison Tower, another at the Bridge of the Millers, and a third in the Undercity. From there, the trail enters Holy Innocents’ Cemetery, where the Ossuary of the Innocents, Ancient Sewers, and Mausoleum of the Kings each conceal a fragment. The route then descends into the Catacombs of Paris for three more, in the Catacomb Entrance, Blood Pits, and Circle of Greed. The changing scenery makes this opening stretch feel like a tour through the city’s layered history, with danger waiting at every turn. The broader setting draws on the real city of Paris and its famous catacombs.

Castlevania turns its grand interiors into a scavenger hunt
The middle stretch moves into the Main Hall, where fragments await in the Wine Cellar, Balcony, and Mirror Rooms. The Clock Tower adds three more at Serpent Pinion, Eastern Steps, and The Gauntlet, before the search continues through the Library’s Poetry Shelves, Library Foyer, and Planetarium. These locations trade the open sprawl of the streets for vertical climbs, enclosed rooms, and shifting architecture—the kind of spaces where a quick glance can mean leaving a valuable upgrade behind. The Clock Tower has long been one of the franchise’s signature settings, as reflected in the series’ history and its place in IGN’s Castlevania coverage.
Notre Dame offers one more stretch of exploration
Fourteenth through twenty-first on the list take Rose to Notre Dame, with fragments in La Flèche, Tree of Saints, and The Forest. The guide then pauses to show how to reach the Hall of Mirrors, a useful transition before the final three collectibles. That route matters: knowing where the next area begins can turn a meandering search into a more deliberate sweep, especially for players trying to complete the collection without doubling back unnecessarily. The landmark gives this section a striking Parisian backdrop, with more about Notre-Dame Cathedral available alongside the series’ official Castlevania information.
The last fragments wait where the halls refuse to behave
The final three Brave Heart Fragments are all in the Hall of Mirrors: Looping Hallways, Nightmare Atrium, and Steps of Misdirection. Their names suit an area built around disorientation, making the video’s step-by-step route especially helpful for anyone who would rather focus on navigating than guess which passage to take next. Finding all 24 completes the hunt and earns six full hearts in total, extending Rose’s health meter as she presses onward. For fans drawn to Castlevania’s blend of exploration and gothic spectacle, this collectible run is a neat reminder of how careful searching can make a tough journey more manageable; explore the franchise further through its long-running history and IGN’s game listings.
