How To Pass The Judge's Test In Castlevania: Belmont's Curse

Passing the Judge's Test in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse requires unlocking the Judge Arcana, which needs at least four full health and mana hearts each, or 16 upgrades apiece for 180 max HP and MP. The card is found at the tree and scales in the Palace of Justice, where holding RB/RT absorbs the evil from the scales until both sides align. The test isn't required to finish the game but is needed for the best ending.
