Giant's Dwelling

The Giant's Dwelling is a location in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.
==Overview==
A decrepit old estate that has been abandoned for years and is now inhabited by all sorts of hellish creatures. Its exterior counts with a long courtyard which has an old cemetery as backdrop. A varied repertoire of enemies can be found in this place, although there seems to be some prominence of female creatures, such as Ladycats, Miss Murders and Curse Divas. However, the most prominent presence are without a doubt the myriad of Ectoplasms that haunt most of its rooms, both interior and exterior, and which will curse the player upon contact.
Another added challenge this place poses to the player is that enemies often have opposite resistances and vulnerabilities. For example, the player may be "greeted" by a Ladycat upon entering a room, which is resistant to strike damage but weak against slashing attacks, while at the same time an Automaton ZX26 will slowly approach from behind, which is instead weak to strike damage but very resistant against slashing, so the player will have to think fast and use proper management of their offensive means in order to clear these rooms.
The first room inside the mansion holds the Temperance Ring, which can be obtained by breaking the protruding block above the left entrance.
A glyph that is worth farming here is the Vol Falcis, which is dropped by Miss Murders and which is the next relevant upgrade in regard to weapons with slashing properties, although obtaining it won't be an easy task, as the rooms where they appear in are usually crowded by other enemies.
Daniela, an old lady who was a vampire hunter in her younger years and who is a descendant of the Belmont lineage, can be found trapped in a Torpor prison in the upper-right room of the mansion's first main hall.
The Vol Secare glyph can be freely absorbed by destroying a statue holding it in the farthest room to the right of the first floor.
The boss of this stage is Goliath, a gigantic artificially made monster dwelling in the central room of the second floor. When first encountered, he will be bound in place by several heavy chains, although this won't stop him for long after becoming aware of the player's presence; as such, he'll use his massive strength to break free and attack. He uses a wide variety of attacks, which involve jumping around and producing great shockwaves upon landing, stomping, punching either the ceiling or the ground, producing with this debris to fall from the ceiling or large stalagmites to grow from the ground, respectively; in addition to simply punching and moving around to deal heavy damage to the player.
