Ok so real talk time...does anyone know what the intention behind the hidden door in a hidden area on Stage 5 of Castlevania: Rondo of blood?
It's been over 15 years since I first played Rondo of Blood and I have never stopped thinking about this damn door. You have to solve two different environmental puzzles to even get to the hidden room where the door is...and when you get there? A glowing door (or missing a texture door) that is inaccessible...in a room that is empty save for a chair and four candles that give you hearts.
Try the Konami code? NOTHING. Break the hearts in a special order? Nothing...I've tried them all. Wait 5/10/30/60 minutes? Zero results.
It has got to be the most enduring video game mystery IMO. Clearly it was intended to serve some function yet that function never materialized and nothing online gives you any answers. Others have wondered the same thing but nobody has ever definitively figured out the intent behind the area in the first place.
Obviously there was some intent behind this door/hidden area. Cut content? A secret the game still has to offer us?
Either way it drives me crazy lol. But I am also curious...what are some other awesome unsolved gaming mysteries that bother you? Ones you know don't have answers but may still be "solveable"
