Cryptic Castle is a haunted castle in Shadow the Hedgehog. Although it is inhabited by supernatural entities, and parts have been overtaken by Black Arms forces, the fortress seems to be under the effective control of Dr. Eggman. Eggman's access point to digital mainframes (including his own and that of the United Federation) seems to be on or near the castle grounds.

Purpose

After assisting Black Doom in shutting down the United Federation's mainframe or activating the Glyphic Canyon, Shadow goes to Cryptic Castle. Shadow plans to chase down Dr. Eggman, but there are other things to do! Enemies are standard Black Warriors, Black Wings, Black Hawks and Egg Pawns. New gimmicks include breakable doors, hot-air balloons, the ability to light torches, fly utilizing a Black Hawk, and ride air currents.

Missions

Trivia

  • This stage is interesting in the fact that it is considered an evil act to destroy Eggman's robots, even though he is on the Dark side of the mission.
  • It is notable that Eggman has several chao in a large room near where Cheese is found, he may have a soft spot for them (like he does in Sonic Adventure 2, if the player chooses to care for them), using them for reserch, or that they were there before eggman founded the castle. When Shadow comes near they will cheer with joy, but if he attacks them it fills his dark gauge.
  • This may be the same castle in Sonic Heroes.
