When James arrives at the castle, something seems wrong, as there are crosses nailed to the castle's door. After entering the castle, he finds Father Aville, a friend of the Pattersons, and he tells James that his future brother-in-law is a vampire, his family members are being held prisoner, and the Count has intentions to use Rebecca as a virgin sacrifice to release Lord Malachi. Father Aville has several volumes of an "Encyclopedia of the Undead", that James can optionally collect throughout the game. James must fight his way through hellish demons and vampires that guard his friends and family as quick as he can. If James does not locate and rescue certain family members in time, they will be sacrificed, one by one; the more allies James fails to save, the stronger Lord Malachi will become.
Regardless of how many people James rescues, he is unable to prevent the Count from sacrificing Rebecca. After a struggle that ends with the Count being destroyed by sunlight, James battles and defeats the newly summoned Lord Malachi. Although James is left distraught over the death of his sister, the closing narration states he proved himself to be a true hero.
