Holy Water is the worst in the levels themselves, because it doesn't do anything to deal with the most annoying regular enemies. However, it completely and utterly trivializes bosses and stunlocks them, and the bosses are honestly the real hard part of CV.

Great walkthrough! A couple of additions: You can get the holy water in the section after first entering the castle. Before going through the door at the top of the stairs, use the holy water against the spawning zombies to rack up a bunch of 2000 and 4000-point hits. This can give you 2-3 extra lives very early in the game. If you have the boomerang in Death’s Hallway, use it on the axe men and medusas to rack up the 2 and 3-shots before going into battle with the Grim Reaper. I also recommend saving the pork chop until after getting the first 2-shot in case you get hit, as you can go back down the stairs. Another thing that I noticed about the Dungeon: it’s the only level in the entire game without a bottomless pit. Just about the only fair thing about that level.
