Master's Keep

The Master's Keep is a location in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and is the castle keep of the game.
==Overview==
The Master's Keep is the area where the Lecarde sisters, Stella and Loretta, wait for the heroes' arrival. After curing them from their vampirism (must heal them with the Sanctuary spell while trying to keep them busy or they will die and the bad ending will outcome) lies a gallery full of paintings. The paintings are copies of the previous areas, although twisted. After defeating the bosses in them, Jonathan and Charlotte can enter Brauner's Lost Gallery, and after defeating him, they can enter The Throne Room for the final battle.
Jonathan can also ask Stella and Loretta to teach him how to unlock the true power of the Vampire Killer, by fighting a memory of its last wielder, Richter Belmont.
==Lost Gallery==
The Lost Gallery, alternatively known as Brauner's Domain, is a painting area within Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. The area consists only of one room, Brauner's art gallery, within which he is fought. The painting containing the Lost Gallery can only be accessed after the four paintings surrounding it are completed: 13th Street, Dark Academy, Burnt Paradise and Forgotten City.
After Brauner's defeat, the player will enter a painting that leads back to the castle, specifically The Throne Room. The painting containing the Lost Gallery will have burned and the area will be inaccessible afterward. Due to how small the area is, it is often counted as a separate part of the Master's Keep.
