Mountainside Dungeon

The Mountainside Dungeon is the setting for Grolla Seyfarth's stage in Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel. The stage has a Ghosts n' Goblins motif, especially as shown near the end. At the end of the stage in the full game, Lucifer from Ghouls n' Ghosts is seen sitting in his throne, watching the player's fight against Grolla herself. It starts out in a small area in a mountainous region outside the dungeon, and takes the player through a dungeon filled with skeletons. The latter part of the stage is the same as that of the Ghost Town in the C75 Trial Version, which means that the dungeon is set near the Ghost Town itself, and therefore, located near Zeppelin's Castle.

Stage Hazards

The new hazards featured in this Grolla Stage start off with the falling spiked lamps that were seen in Liebea's Rosenkreuzstilette Stage and Schwer-Muta's ~Freudenstachel~ C75 Trial Stage, but these are silver with skulls painted on them. Next are the platforms placed over the spikes that also have skulls painted on them. When you land on these platforms, they will collapse, and if you stay on them for too long, they'll lower you into the bottomless pits and/or the spikes, instantly defeating the player character. Nevertheless, the later part of the stage keeps the same bloody rainstorm that the previous Grolla stage had in the C75 Trial. More recent versions add three new hazards in the form of mechanical spear traps that raise and lower the spears themselves as well as falling spiked platforms and platforms with bear traps stored inside (Wanaans, to be exact) that are set off once they're stepped on.

The latter part of the dungeon is very similar to that of the Ghost Town in the C75 Trial.

Raimund Seyfarth's spirit posesses Grolla at the end of the dungeon, before she battles Freudia in the C76 Trial versions.

In the C76 Trial versions, as Grolla goes into Desperation Mode, the Blood Moon is shown and the gargoyle/dragon creature in the background becomes more visible.

Grolla now awaits Freudia within Lucifer's throne room at the end of the dungeon while Raimund's spirit still possesses her before the fight.

Lucifer becomes much more visible once Grolla enters Desperation Mode.

Trivia

• The Mountainside Dungeon appears to be based on the inside areas of Ghosts n' Goblins and the castle dungeons in the Castlevania series.
• A large creature resembling a cross between a gargoyle and a dragon can be seen in the backdrop for the boss fight against Grolla at the end of the stage.
