Castlevania II: Simon's Quest

• The most garlic you can have is 4, which is also your starting laurel max. You'll only ever need 2 garlic for the entire game.

• If you buy more than one stake/knife/what have you, they won't count. Buying more than one of these types of items, then, is a waste of time.

• Don't bother playing this game without a guide. The puzzles and townspeople really are as confusing as everybody says. I use DKW's Gamefaqs guide.
