Ecclesia

:This page is about the stage. For the concept as an organization, see Ecclesia (organization).
Ecclesia is the first location in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.
==Overview==
Ecclesia is the first area and Shanoa's home base in the game. She can go there to consult with her mentor, Barlowe, at any time during her journey. It is here where Dracula's remains are kept and where the ritual to use Shanoa to host Dominus was held. This ritual was interrupted by Albus, however, and as a result, Shanoa lost her memories and had to be trained again by Barlowe in order to make her remember how to use her glyph-absorbing abilities before she was sent on a mission to retrieve Dominus from Albus.
After Albus is defeated in the Mystery Manor, and if all 13 villagers were not rescued, Shanoa will return to Barlowe and complete her supposed mission of destroying Dracula's vessel using Dominus, then perishes instantly. Unbeknown to her, the "vessel" is actually a seal that confines Dracula and she was presumably sacrificed by Barlowe to revive the Dark Lord.
If Shanoa defeats Albus after rescuing all 13 villagers and comes back to the area, she will instead deny using Dominus on the "vessel", and a boss fight with Barlowe will start. After that, the location will remain empty and won't have any real use for the rest of the game.
In Albus Mode, Ecclesia is unlocked after defeating the Albus doppelganger in the Mystery Manor, and Barlowe will attack immediately once he enters his room.
==Enemy Data==
The place is mostly devoid of enemies, other than a few used for training. In Hard Mode, the Skeletons used for training are replaced with Skeleton Heroes. Starting a fresh game on this difficulty is best considered as insanely bold or suicidal if the player is not prepared, considering that the Skeleton Heroes will kill Shanoa in only two hits, regardless of the level cap selected. In return, legitimately conquering the trial will set Shanoa at level 3, if she is allowed to level up.
