Holy Water is a recurring sub-weapon in the Castlevania series. As with other sub-weapons, usage of Holy Water requires hearts, which act as ammo; the protagonist can keep throwing Holy Water until they either run out of hearts, die, or collect another sub-weapon. When thrown, it creates a pillar of fire which hits multiple times, so it can be used in conjunction with the whip to deal massive damage while locking the enemy in place.

Because Nintendo of America enforced censorship of religious material during the NES and SNES eras, the item was renamed in North America to Fire Bomb. Simon's Holy Water is colored red much like its appearance from Castlevania to Super Castlevania IV, while Richter's is colored blue like Castlevania Chronicles onwards. However, Richter is often shown utilizing a moving flame as opposed to a stationary one in his home series, and the Holy Water has a green color in Rondo of Blood.

Real holy water is water that has been blessed by a clergy member in a church for spiritual cleansing, baptism, or the warding off of evil.
