There is a second quest in this game that players may 

over look. Do the following steps to get access to the 

second quest. 

Get the Spike Buster armor in the Catacombs by turning 

into a bat and using your radar to negotiate the "Dark 

Spiked Tunnel". 

Go to the "Royal Chapel", equip the Spike Buster armor 

and run through the hallway of spikes. After the hallway,

 Maria will give you a Green Ring. 

Use the Green Ring in the center of the Castle at the 

Clock Tower. 

You will quickly be given a second quest.

-Enhanced Luck:

After beating the game once, start a new game and enter

Lapis Lazuli item, but your strength and hitpoints will 

be reduced. 



-Extra Options:

At the name select screen, enter your name as AXELORD 

then go to the Settings screen 



-Play as Richter - Japanese and American:

After beating the game once, start a new game and enter 

your name as RICHTER. You can play now as Richter 

Belmont 



-Start with blue armor:

Obtain a saved game file as described in the "Play as 

Richter Belmont" code. Then, start a new game with the 

name "AXEARMOR". Now you will begin the game with the 

blue armor that transforms your character into the 

axe-wielding blue knight.



-Start with higher intelligence:

Obtain a saved game file as described in the "Play as 

Richter Belmont" code. Then, start a new game with the 

name X-X!V''. Note: There are two apostrophes in the 

name. Now you will begin with increased intelligence 

but decreased strength.



-Easy Familiar Experience:

Ok, easy way, but a bit time consuming, to get 

experience for all your familiars. I believe you have 

to have it beaten once first. but I may be wrong. 

As you start the game, go through like you normally 

would. But this time, don't but alot from the librarian. 

Only get the Jewel of Open, and 1 or 2 Library Cards. 

The proceed with the game. 

Once you get in the inverted castle, keep going and get 

AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE. Once you get 500,000 go back 

to the librarian, and purchase the Duplicator. Then go 

BACK to the inverted castle, and equip it. By this time,

you should have at least ONE of the Power of Sire items.

Equip that as well. Voila, you have an infinite supply 

now as long as you have the duplicator equipped. 

Now go to the room in the inverted church thing (forgot 

the name off hand), and enter the room with the big 

sword that is surrounded by spears and shields. Use the 

Power of Sire, then leave the room, and go back in, use 

it again, and so on and so forth. Within an hour I had 

ALL my familiars powered up to 99/99 



-Effortless Experience Gain:

To get effortless experience follow these simple steps: 

Play through the game like normal until you get your 

bat familar. at this point go back to near the start of 

the game where the zombies keep coming out of the 

ground. Then all you do is stand on the step on the 

stairs where the zombies can't reach you and turn your 

bat familiar on. Just make sure that you are far enough 

away that the zombies won't hurt you if your familar 

misses one of them. 

The bat familar will kill most of the zombies that 

appear, also make sure you are looking in the direction 

of the zombies or the bat will not hit them. The best 

part about this trick is that the familar will kill the

zombies and both he and you will get the experience 

making this absolutely simple in gaining levels. In 

three hours my bat went from level 2 to level 60! 



-Find Sword of Dawn and Great Sword:

The Sword of Dawn is hidden in the Reverce Castle. 

Remember where you got the double jump relic in the 

normal castle? Well, to the left of that there's a 

secret breakable wall. Attack it to reveal a hidden pot 

roast. But when you're in the Reverce Keep, repeat the 

process to reveal the Sword of Dawn. Execute this move 

to summon Dawn warriors: down,forward,then square or 

Circle. Meanwhile the Great Sword can be easily obtained

by defeating a gold Armor Lord in the Reverce Castle. 

It won't always work though. Keep trying. 



-Easy Money:

First equip the JEWEL SWORD, and go anywhere in either 

castle, (like the entrance where the zombies are) and 

keep swinging until you have enogh money 



Hint:

In the castle and the reverse castle, theres a monster 

called parathropus with the ring of varda, wich gives 

massive bonuses to all attributes (+40 to str, +30 to 

int, etc.) Equip it along with the Crissaegrim, a sword 

found by killing schmoos in the reverse castle and you 

will be practically invincible in the game, all bosses 

take only a few hits to destroy. 



-Beat Doppleganger Easy:

Okay, for players who have a hard time with Doppleganger

(the Alucard look-alike), hit him so he lands in a 

corner, and repeatedly jump at him and attack. He will 

reliably jump into your blade repeatedly. This works on 

both the Light and Dark Castle Doppleganger. 



OR 



Before you fight the doppleganger in the second castle, 

equip the Medusa Shield. Hit the doppleganger with the 

Medusa Shield, and he will turn to stone. Attack him 

mercilessly with your weapon until he turns back to 

flesh, then use the shield on him again 



-Explore an Inverted Castle:

If you defeat the possessed Richter Belmond in Dracula's

Keep, you'll see the ending. But what you may not 

realise is that this is the 'bad end', and you've only 

seen half the game! To get to the real ending: First, 

make sure you've gotten both rings from Maria. The first

you recieve after defeating the Succubus in the 

'Nightmare' stage. The second is past the hall with all 

the spikes in the Cathedral (you need the SpikeBuster 

Armor from the Catacombs) Equip both rings at once in 

the room with the big clock, and the floor will open. 

Down in this 'lair' Maria is waiting for you once again.

She'll give you a vital piece of information. Once all 

this is done, then go to Dracula's Keep and meet Richter. 

He'll attack you, but you will now be able to see a 

green orb floating above him. Attack the orb, 

but _don't_kill_Richter_ (hint: the Sword Companion 

will serve you well here) After a bit of attacking, the 

orb will break open, revealing everyone's favorite 

loathesome 18th/19th century warlock: Shaft! (daaaarn 

right! right on, bruthaman!) This also breaks Shaft's 

spell, freeing Richter from the spirit of Dracula. 

Alucard will tell Richter and Maria to escape while 

they can as the clouds swirl and open up, revealing a 

mirror-image of the Evil Castle! Shaft escapes into the 

Inverted Castle, and of course it's Alucard's duty to 

chase after him! But just when you think you know the 

layout already, you find some crucial elements of the 

castle have been rearranged, it's stocked with bigger 

and badder enemies, and even the music has changed! 



-Fiddle with the Logo:

When the words NOW LOADING are on screen, you can 

manipulate them with the d-pad. 



-Heaven Sword Special Attack:

You can get Heaven Swords as a rare item by killing the 

Cloaked knights (flying knights that toss their swords 

at you). If you have two of these, equip one in each 

hand and press both square and circle to activate the 

special attack. 



-Librarian's Secret Stash:

To get the librarian's secret stash under his chair you 

must have the super jump relic. After you have obtained 

this item go to the room under his. There will be a 

narrow vertical space that (when you jump into it) will 

lead to a Life Max Up. Now jump repeatedly without 

touching the floor, but make sure the librarian's chair 

goes back on the floor. If this is done correctly you 

will first get the Ring of Arcana. If you contunue to 

do this you will then obtain the Dracula Tunic and 

after that the Axelord Armor will follow. 



-Music Select:

To gain access to the excellent soundtracks, complete 

the game (fully, with over 190%) with Alucard and 

restart a brand new game with Alucard (do not cover 

over the old one). When you get to the Librarian, 

simply walk up to him and a music select option will 

appear with the 'buy/sell' box. 



-The Shield Rod Trick:

If you have the Shield Rod you can do this trick. Equip 

the rod and any shield. Then, all you have to do is hit 

the left hand button and the right hand button (normaly 

the O and Square buttons) simultaniously and you will 

do a special move that has to do with the shield you 

have equiped. Every shield does something different. 

Experement with different shields to find out which one 

you like. Also, when you are equiped with the shield 

rod if you press back, foward, then attack Alucard 

launches a star from the rod. It must do something 

besides look really cool, but I haven't messed around 

with it that much to find out. 



-True Hellfire:

There is an interesting effect if you cast the Hellfire 

spell, (up, down, down-right,right and square) then 

press and hold UP, AFTER the teleport, but BEFORE the 

three fireballs go off. It shoots TWO of the black 

fireballs demonstrated by Dracula in the opening scene.

As far as I can tell, it does no more damage, and costs 

the same, but it DOES punch through targets rather than

be absorbed. 



-Secret Rooms:

Here are the locations of some of the secret rooms in 

the game. 



 Room 1: Outer Wall

 When you enter the stage from the Marble Garden, go 

down to meet an Armor Lord. Beat him and go to the 

left. Hack the wall on the left wall to get a Pot 

Roast. Stand in the Space for 20 seconds and you will 

go into a room with items 



 Room 2: Alchemy Lab And Necromancy Lab

 In the Alchemy Lab, hack the wall in the first room 

going up. Inside is a Heart Max-up. The one in the 

Necromancy lab of the inverted castle is in the same 

spot. 



 Room 3: Colossem and Reverse Colossem

 In the room with Blade Soldiers and Blade Masters, go 

to the first pillar, face left and use a few axes to 

reveil a passage. 



 Rooms 4 and 5: Orlox's Quarters and Akmodan's Chamber

 The first room is in the room with the Sprit Sword. Go 

to the right to find a dead end, hack the wall to get 

some good items. 

 The second one is later in the stage. When you are in 

courtyard with the Vahalla Knights, go down to the 

ground and proceed left. Proceed left until you are in 

a room with the bridge. Hack Every part of the wall 

until you reveal the room. Do the same in Akmodan's 

Chamber's (Orlox's Room in the Inverted Castle)  



 Room 6: Clock Tower and Reverse Clock Tower

 In the room before the Birdman boss, Hack the right 

wall at the top of the room. 



 Room 7: Pit to the Catacombs

 Use the Demon Familiar to flip the switch after the 

Cerberas Boss to reveil a room. Do the same in the 

inverted castle.
