Cainhurst Castle

You arrive at the snow-covered, gothic Cainhurst Castle via a ghostly carriage waiting at Hemwick Charnel Lane after securing the summons. You must fight through corrupted beasts, ghostly nobles, and navigate treacherous snowy rooftops to reach the top. Defeating the master of the castle at the summit unlocks an illusory secret path to the Vileblood throne.
