This track is a remix of the theme that plays during the first stage of ''Castlevania: Rondo of Blood'', albeit with many alterations. It combines aspects of the various remixes of the original track from throughout the ''Castlevania'' series. The overall format this remix follows is based on the ''Portrait of Ruin'' version, "Bloodlines Bequeathed"; the opening riff is based on the ''Dracula X'' version, while the strings used for the main melody are very similar to "Opposing Bloodlines" from ''Castlevania 64''. The latter part of the track borrows from "Blood Relations" from ''Symphony of the Night'', which plays when Alucard fights the possessed Richter in Dracula's throne room.
