How to Release a Fairy in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow on PS3

In "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow," subweapons, such as fairies, are vital to your survival as a vampire hunter. After you unlock fairies in the Three Towers stage, you can use these tiny green creatures to distract your foes. Most living beasts, like Swamp Trolls, Wargs and Lycanthropes, are quickly distracted by a single fairy. This gives you a chance to attack a monster freely until the fairy disappears. Like all other subweapons, you select fairies using the directional pad.
