Sandy Grave

Sandy Grave is a location in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. This stage closely follows an Egyptian theme.
==Overview==
The portrait resembles a stereotypical depiction of Egypt: a sphinx and a pyramid resembling the Great Pyramid of Giza. The background of the level also features another pyramid and sphinx, respectively.
The stage starts outside of a large pyramid, with the character exploring in, out and below the pyramid itself. There are rooms containing rolling boulders, which heavily damage the player, should the player accidentally let themselves be run over by them. The main enemies in the stage are Mummies, Red Skeletons and Ghosts. Brauner and Stella are also first encountered here. The boss, Astarte, is located at the very peak of the pyramid. Astarte resembles a common stereotype of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra.
