Music test:
Complete the game with a rating of over 190% with Alucard.
Start a new game with Alucard without overwriting the previous
game. Approach the Librarian to display a music select option
in the 'Buy/Sell' window.
Start with blue armor:
Obtain a saved game file as described in the 'Play
as Richter Belmont' code or successfully complete the game
with a completion of 180% or above. Start a new game with the
name 'AXEARMOR'. Game play will begin with the blue armor
that transforms your character into the axe-wielding blue knight
[Axe Lord].
Start with 99 luck:
Obtain a saved game file as described in the 'Play
as Richter Belmont' code. Start a new game with the name
'X-X!V''Q'. Note: There are two apostrophes in the name.
Game play will begin with luck set to 99.
Time Attack option:
Start a new game with the name 'AXELORD'. When
you can control Alucard, pause game play and go to 'Settings'.
A 'Time Attack' option will appear at the bottom. It
displays what time you defeated the Bosses and received special
items. This has no purpose in the game.
No Dopplegangers:
Start a new game with the name 'MARIA' and you
will not have to fight the Dopplegangers.
Stronger Hellfire spell:
Hold Up when using the Hellfire spell, before
the three fireballs are shot, and a stronger, familiar looking
attack will be executed.
View map:
Begin game play with Alucard as a character. Press
Start to display the statistics screen, then hit L1.
God's Garb:
Finish the game with over a 200% completion. Then,
start a new game with the name 'MEPHISTO'. Alternately, go
to the inverted castle and enter the inverted clock tower. Go
to the black marble gallery. The armor lords that guard the clock
tower drop God's Garb.
Hints: Keep Alucard's equipment:
Begin a game with the 'Start with 99 luck'
code. After reaching the room with the three Wargs [before the
room with Death], kill them all. To enter the next room without
confronting Death, tap Right until you are slightly into
the room. Do not go too far over or else Death will get your character.
Go back, remove everything except for the Alucard Sword, Twilight
Cloak, and Necklace of J. This should result in a DEF rating of
12. Kill the first Warg [going left] and stand in front of the
middle Warg, but make sure you are facing left. Allow it hit you.
It should send your character flying out of the room and past
Death. Then, save the game. once you return to the room with Death,
Slogra And Gaibon will be there. It does not matter if they are
defeated, they will still be in their original room. You will
be unable to enter the menu screen until the game is saved.
An easier way to make sure you do not meet Death is to enter the
room, but as soon as the screen turns black, begin holding Left.
The game show the screen and you will walk right back out without
meeting Death. Go ahead with the rest of the trick as described
[take off the items, kill the first Warg headed left, let the
second hit you, etc.]. Additionally, do not go through the hole
leading into the room Death was in, as this will cause the game
to glitch and show Alucard repetitively falling through the hole
into the room of Death.
Hints: Duplicator:
After you complete the game return to the Librarian.
He will have something special for you, a Duplicator which duplicates
any items you use -- you will never run out of anything again.
However, it costs 500,000 gold. Try to get the gold close to where
you found the mermaids icon in the tunnel that the oarsman takes
you. It gives you 2000 a piece there -- not a lot but the best
there is. Note: You have to get the good ending [by killing Dracula]
first.
Hints: Secret room:
Start a new game as Richter. As soon as the game starts
[at the front gate of the castle], hit Left. You should
now be in a new room with something special behind a grate after
it is opened.
Hints: Defeating Doppleganger 40:
Equip Terminus Est [sword] and Topaz Circlet [Head
Gear]. This is because he will use any sword you use, and the
Terminus Est is a poison sword. The Topaz Circlet will convert
Poison damage into HP.
The Dopplegangers react to abnormal status attacks in the same
way that you do. Therefore, use the Terminus Est [poisoned sword]
to reduce his attack strength, the Stone Sword to inflict Petrify
damage, Icebrand to encase him in a block of ice, and Red Rust
[which curses the target] to totally disable his attacks.
Hints: Defeating Final Dracula:
To kill Dracula without getting hit, all you need is
the Alucard Shield and the Shield Rod. When the battle begins,
activate the Shield [use the Rod and the Shield at the same time].
Stand in the center of the screen with the Shield out. You will
actually gain health each time the Shield hits Dracula.
Hints: Double-Slash:
There is a way to negate slow recovery times of weapons,
and in effect, 'double-slash'. Tap Jump lightly
to perform a small hop, then immediately before you land back
on the ground, tap Square or Circle to attack in
mid-air. Then a split second later when Alucard's feet touch the
ground, tap Square or Circle again. Alucard will
attack again, regardless of whether the weapon has a long cool
down time or not. Note: Even if the animation of the initial attack
is interrupted, it still counts. This is useful for strong weapons
that are normally slow, such as the Sword Familiar.
Hints: Items in inverted castle:
By the marble gallery is Jack-O-Bones, Stone Skulls,
Corps, and Thornweeds. You can use Wolf Charge to get across.
As you are doing that. you are also hitting the bottom of the
Stone Skull. You must have Skill Of Wolf to run swiftly.
Hints: Glitch: Duplication while saving:
When playing the game on a PlayStation2 with a Performance
2-in-1 memory card, the game will sometimes freeze while saving.
However, you will keep all the experience and items that you received.
This allows you to get map items twice and fight Bosses twice.
It also removes the map explored since your last save, but does
not take the explored % away.
Hints: True fountain form:
Enter Orlox's Keep and fight your way to the fountain
guarded by two Valhalla Knights. The fountain should change the
water coming from it to blood. After this happens, keep jumping
or flying around the fountain, but make sure the moon is directly
behind it. The full moon will show the fountain's true shape,
of a demon instead of an angel.
Hints: Rapid double jumps:
After acquiring the Leap Stone, some places that can
only be reached with the bat can be reached without it. Alternatively,
find the passage you wish to go to with a nearby enemy or candle.
Perform the double jump, then perform the drop kick on the enemy
or candle. You will bounce up and be able to do another double
jump.
Hints: Alucard's spells:
Summon Spirit: Press Back, Forward, Down,
Up + Attack.
Dark Metamorphesis: Press Back, 'Up/Back', Up,
'Up/Forward', Forward + Attack.
Tetra Spirit: Hold Up for three seconds, then hit 'Up/Forward',
Forward, 'Down/Forward', Down + Attack.
Hellfire: Press Up, Down, 'Down/Forward', Forward
+ Attack. Hold Up after he teleports to shoot two
large black balls instead of three fireballs.
Soul Steal: Press Back, Forward, 'Down/Forward',
Down, 'Down/Back', Back, Forward + Attack.
Hints: Custom Joseph's cloak colors:
:
| Look | Exterior setting | Lining setting |
| Heaven | Red 10, Green 13, Blue 26 | Same |
| Mountain Dew | Red 22, Green 31, Blue 11 | Same |
| Royal cloak | Blue 15 | Green 8 |
| Hippie | Red 20, Blue 20 | Green 24, Blue 24 |
| Neon | Red 22, Green 31 | Same |
| Dream Bar | Red 31, Green16, Blue 10 | Same |
| Hershey Bar | Red18, Green16, Blue 13 | Same |
| Royal Purple | Red 16, Green 6, Blue 31 | Same |
| Florida Orange Juice | Red 31, Green 22 | Same |
| Cherry Pie | Red 31, Green 6, Blue 15 | Same |
| Sky blue | Red 22, Green 31, Blue 31 | Same |
Hints: Alucard's Shield and Shield Rod combo:
The ultimate weapon combo of Alucard's Shield and Shield
Rod does not run out at a random time. It works until your magic
meter runs out. Simply switch the Shield Rod for a decent weapon,
and as using your shield does not consume that much magic, you
now have a weapon that deals lots of damage, gives you life, and
has no animation lag because you just hold it in front of you.
Monitor your magic and you will never run out of life or need
to switch to the Shield Rod again.
Hints: Hover jump:
Press X, release, and quickly hit X
again and you will hover in midair for a brief moment instead
of dropping to the ground. This requires practice, and the effect
is most noticeable [and useful] prior to obtaining the Leap Stone.
Hints: Introduction forest secret:
Start a new game as Richter. As soon as the game starts,
immediately turn around, duck, and do the sliding attack. You
will exit the entrance to the castle before the main gate closes.
You can now walk outside, on top, or to the very start of the
game where Alucard runs to enter the castle. Note: Once you slide
attack your way out the first time, the main gate will not open
for you once it has closed. Therefore, you are locked out. Run,
or if you are patient, walk all the way to the left once you have
first exited the gate. Go on for about 30 seconds all the way
to the left. Richter will automatically do an Alucard introduction
by running through the forest, jumping on the bridge, and say
'Holy Cross!' when he jumps the gate to enter Castlevania
again.
Hints: Easy sword level up:
After you have acquired the sword familiar, go to the
castle entrance. You will see a part of that level where merman
are jumping out of the water. Stand on the left ledge. Take out
the sword familiar and let it attack everything. This will take
about four or five hours. Alucard will never be hit as long as
he is on the left ledge. You can use the sword familiar as a weapon
when it reaches level 50, or you can get the most powerful weapon
in the game by letting it go to level 99.
Hints: Skip prelude battle:
You can avoid the fight against Dracula in the prelude
as Richter. Just walk to the right as soon as you start. This
will skip the prelude and jump directly to Alucard on the bridge.
Hints: Blue-Green Sword Familiar:
Level up the Sword Familiar to level 50 so you can
equip it as a weapon. Equip it, then go to the clock room in the
Black Marble Gallery [second castle]. Head up and save in the
room to the right. Reset, then load your game again. Once you
gain control of your character, try slashing. You will notice
that instead of the normal green aura, the Sword Familiar will
emit a combined blue and green aura.
Hints: Defeating Granfaloon [Legion]:
Run past Granfaloon and jump to the nearby platforms.
This may require some practice. Repeatedly cast the Soul Steal
Spell. You will hit Granfaloon and his helpers while replenishing
some health each time. Because you are on the platform. you can
wait for your MP meter to refill without risking attack. However,
when a piece of Granfaloon rips off and exposes a tentacle-like
structure which can shoot a laser beam at you, avoid it and repeat
the process.
Hints: Easy experience:
Find the Terminus Est [a poisoned sword left by Nova
Skeletons], then go to the inverted castle. Work your way to the
inverted clock hallway where Level 60 Guardians are waiting. Guardians
are relatively weak to poison. Slash away, and you will get monster
experience. Depending on your level [35-50], you should be able
to gain a level every two kills.
Alternatively, equip the Shield Rod and Alucard Shield [the normal
one], and hit the Left- and Right-hand buttons at the same time.
This will activate a special mode in which your shield is granted
the abilities of all shields at once. Your shield is now the strongest
weapon in the game [for a random amount of limited time]. Ram
into the Guardians with the Alucard Shield equipped and cause
massive, rapid fire damage.
Continually kill the phantom sword in the inverted chapel.
Equip the Shield Rod and Alucard Shield. Activate the God Shield
[hold 'Shield' and hit Attackx2; you should see
a circle of shields above Alucard for a few seconds]. To use the
God Shield, put up the shield and simply run through an enemy.
The God Shield is only activated for a limited amount of time.
Watch for the shields to appear above Alucard again, and go up.
Then, go to the room to the left of the inverted clock tower.
There are two Guardians and one Blade in the room. Kill them continuously
with the God Shield to level up quickly. Note: Watch out for the
Guardians Ice throw. It does 56 damage with each hit, or 24 damage
if the Alucard Mail is equipped.
Hints: Sword Of Dawn:
In the inversed castle, when coming out of the room
where you defeated Shaft, go left, then go up to where the Power
of Mist was in the normal castle [past the strange face that appears
correctly both right-side up and upside down]. There will be a
fairly tall column there. Do your super jump up to the top and
slash [or turn on the cross and jump up so that the crosses can
hit the column]. The top portion of the column will cave in and
there will be a sword called 'Sword Of Dawn' there.
When you use the Down, 'Down/Forward', Forward
move, it will summon one of several different kinds of skeletal
warriors. One moves forward and attacks enemies, another creates
arrows, another summons about four skeleton archers, and another
creates a skeleton magician.
Hints: Easy Familiar level up:
Note: This trick works with the bat, sword, fairy,
ghost and demon, and requires a controller with a turbo feature.
Equip the familiar card that you want to increase in level up.
Equip a knife, such as the combat knife, and go to the place near
the start of the normal castle where the zombies continuously
appear. Set yourself up against a wall where you can attack them,
but they cannot attack you from behind. Enable the turbo feature
and keep the knife button held. You will continuously kill the
zombies without getting hurt. This will slowly earn experience
for your familiar card. Note: If the cards evolve, they will be
automatically be put away afterwards and will gain any more experience
until they are brought back out again.
Familiars increase mainly by number of kills rather than experience
value, especially with Alucard at very high levels. Exceptions
are made for Bosses [higher] and Blood Skeletons [none]. Find
a location where lots of enemies constantly replenish, such as
in the Marble Gallery in the inverted castle, where Medusa Heads
appear, or in the reverse Caverns, where large numbers of Dark
Octopi can be found. Equip a fast weapon, choose your familiar,
and start slashing.
Once you have a duplicator it is extremely easy to level up the
familiars. Go to the reverse caverns in the area after fighting
Doppleganger 40. In this area is a room with lots of Dark Octopuses.
Drop down into the room and use a Bat Pentagram then a normal
Pentagram and jump back out. Each time you do this, you will get
20 to 30 experience for the familiar, and it can be done many
times in one minute.
Go to the Reverse Underground's Caverns, until a room filled with
Dark Octopus after Doppleganger40 appears. This room resembles
the following:
XXXXXXXX_ _XXXXXXX
XXXXX XXX
X
X
X XX
XXX XXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Equip Power Of Sire and Duplicator. Stay in one of the little
platforms at the top of the screen. Use Power Of Sire, wait two
seconds, then jump out of screen. You will fall in the octopus
screen again. This method kills 13 Dark Octopus in about five
seconds each time. Starting with a Familiar at level 1, you will
reach level 99 in about two hours.
When you have the Medusa Shield or Dark Shield, go to the zombies
at the beginning of the game. Put on one of these shields, then
use some tape to bind Circle down. Allow the game to idle
in this state. In about ten to twelve hours your Familiars will
be at 99/99.
Go to the inverted castle's chapel, where the enemy called 'Shield'
is found. Shield is located in the room where the background is
a church and there are stairs on both sides. Put on your Duplicator
and equip 'Power Of Sire' to both hands. Use the familiar
that you want to level up, walk on the screen where 'Shield'
is found. Use one card of Sire, then the other one. You have to
hit one before the other; not at the same time or it will only
trigger one to work. This will kill the Shield the moment that
you use the second Power Of Sire. Walk off the screen then walk
back on and repeat. You can level each Familiar to level 99/99
in less than ten minutes per Familiar. This is much better than
with the Dark Octopuses because it takes less time to kill it
repeatedly for twice as much experience.
Hints: Glitch: Flying Alucard:
This glitch can be done during the game any time after
getting the Soul Of Bat relic. Locate a Life Max up, Heart Max
up, or a relic. Press R1 to turn into a bat the moment
that you are about to grab the item. The game will glitch and
Alucard will start flying. Press R1 to return to normal.
To do this trick, you must have the Bat Card. Press Triangle
to dash and hit R2 to change into the bat. You can also
switch out of the bat if fast enough [does not use any MP].
Hints: Glitch: Extra items:
Go to the Anti-Chapel in the Inverted Castle at the
top of the largest tower. Perform the Sword Familiar glitch and
exit the castle. Fall all the way down to the top of the room
with the spikes. Then, keep walking to the right until you fall
into the spike room. It would help to have the Spike Breaker Armor
equipped so you do not take any damge. Exit to the left and keep
following the halls to the left until you reach a save point.
Save the game and reset the PlayStation. When you get back to
the playing screen, you should have some rare items such as Mosafune.
Hints: Glitch: Slogra and Gaibon clones:
When you begin a new game, you will encounter a battle
with two Bosses, slogra [green demon with the spear] and Gaibon
[the flying blue gargoyle] in the alchemy laboratory. There is
a room in the lab where you can get the axe weapon from a candle.
In the upper right side of that room is an opening to the Boss'
battleground. In order to perform this glitch, you need to enter
the battleground. However, as soon as you enter it, quickly hit
Left so that the wall will not close. If you managed to
quickly exit before the wall closes, go to the place above the
location where you first met death and stole your weapons. You
will see that there is a hole in the middle. Allow yourself to
fall through the hole and you will see that both Bosses are there
instead of the normal battle location. Defeat the Gaibon first
-- if you hit the Slogra, the Gaibon will carry the Slogra and
flee. If this happens, quickly exit to the left room then go back
qucikly so that they will appear again . You will get experience
from this, and will also see these two Bosses again in their original
locations.
Hints: No damage while underwater:
Get the Holy Symbol relic and turn it on. Go underwater
and you will take no damage.
Hints: Mublung sword:
In the inverted castle, you will find a Spectral Sword
in the Reverse Chapel. That Spectral Sword drops a sword called
the Mublung Sword. This sword can be used to do the shields special
moves and its stronger than the Shield Rod.
Hints: Librarian bounce items:
After obtaining the Leap Stone and Gravity Boots, return
to the Long Library, and proceed all the way to the left from
the entrance. In the last room, there is a hole in the ceiling
that takes you to directly under the Librarian. Line up directly
under the hole, and Super Jump. Jumping first, then doing a Super
Jump will result in absolutely no effect. Doing the Super Jump
repeatedly [without hitting the floor] will result in the Librarian
dropping a Life Up, Ring of Arcana, AxeLord Armor, and Dracula
Tunic. After the Librarian drops one item, drop to the floor,
and then repeat to get the next item.
You have to go all the way left from the entrance as described
previously. In the last room, you need the Leap Stone and Gravity
Boots. Stand directly under the hole in the ceiling and hit
Down, Up, Jump to do the Super Jump. Then,
use your Double Jump while in the air to do another Super Jump.
After you do the double jump, repeatedly hit Down, Up,
Jump. When your magic is used up about half way, you will
obtain one of the items.
Hints: Glitch: No sword:
As Alucard, equip any sword and duck. Then, attack
with the sword. Wait a few seconds. Alucard will act as though
he does a second slash, but the sword will not appear. Note: The
second attack does not do any damage.
Hints: Ring Of Varda:
Kill the big yellow skeletons [Paranthropus], in the
Reverse Misty Tower. The Ring Of Varda gives all your stats a
large boost, nearly making you invincible. It results in +40 strength,
+35 defense, +30 intelligence, and +15 luck.
Get two of these rings to double the effect. Lapis Lazuli combined
with the Arcana Ring will help.
Hints: Sleeping Alucard:
Find a chair that Alucard can sit in without being
disturbed [for example, near a Boss]. Sit in it, and leave the
game running for awhile without pausing. Every so often, you will
see Z's appearing.
Hints: Axe Shield:
If you fight the Axe Lord Armors, they will eventually
drop an Axe Shield.
Hints: Poison Sword:
Kill the Lesser Demon in inverted laboratory to get
the sword.
