Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Gems
Important Note: You cannot collect all Gems on your first playthrough of the game. Some of these Gems require abilities / skills that you do not learn until late in the game. That’s why after finishing the game, you can revisited every location (except one) of the game again in Free Roam, now with all your abilities. You do this by going to the Map Room and choosing the Zone / District you want to visit, as covered in this collectibles guide.
Tip: Collecting the Gems will also give you a nice bonus. You gain more health by collecting Life Gems, more Void Magic power by collecting Void Gems and more Chaos Magic power by collecting Chaos Gems.
How to find missing Gems?: In-game the Gems will be hiding inside floating silver Painboxes. Press the right trigger on your controller to insert Dracula’s arm into the Painbox, let it draw his blood, after which it will open up and disappear to reveal the Gem inside. Pick up the Gem by walking over it. It can be confirmed as a collected Gem simply by seeing this on-screen text confirmation: “You’ve found a [Void] Gem. Collect five to increase your [Void] Magic capacity.”
Protip: If you have a Dodo Egg, throw it to hatch a Dodo who will hunt down nearby Painboxes that contain Gems. If the Dodo finds any in the area, it will also be marked on your mini-map with a red waypoint. But keep in mind that the Dodo can only find it if you have the abilities / skills to reach it.
Does the game save each Gems you collect?: Yes, the game will automatically save the Gems for your collectibles progress if you picked up the Gem. – Once collected, these Gems cannot be picked up again.
