Long Library

Connected To Outer Wall

There are a number of nice items to find and buy in the Long Library. The librarian here runs the only shop in the game. The only thing you need to progress is the Jewel of Open, but feel free to spend your money on whatever else seems appealing.

You can explore more of the Long Library once you obtain the Leap Stone, but to get the ultimate prize—the ability to transform into a Bat (and thus, fly!)—you will also need to be able to transform into Mist. Once you can fly, you can head to the Castle Keep and defeat Richter Belmont, but to progress towards the real end of the game, you'll need to look for the Gold and Silver Rings. First, get the Echo of Bat in Olrox's Quarters.
