Hint: Easy experience:
Find the Terminus Est (a poisoned sword left by NovaSkeletons), then go to the inverted castle. Work your way to theinverted clock hallway where Level 60 Guardians are waiting. Guardiansare relatively weak to poison. Slash away, and you will get monsterexperience. Depending on your level (35-50), you should be ableto gain a level every two kills.

Alternatively, equip the Shield Rod and Alucard Shield (the normalone), and press the Left- and Right-hand buttons at the same time.This will activate a special mode in which your shield is grantedthe abilities of all shields at once. Your shield is now the strongestweapon in the game (for a random amount of limited time). Raminto the Guardians with the Alucard Shield equipped and causemassive, 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 press Attack(2); you should seea circle of shields above Alucard for a few seconds). To use theGod 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 continuouslywith the God Shield to level up quickly. Note: Watch out for theGuardians Ice throw. It does 56 damage with each hit, or 24 damageif the Alucard Mail is equipped.

Hint: Easy money:
Equip the Jewel Sword (from Discus Lord), then pressDown, Down/Forward, Forward. Coins will fallfrom the sword, giving you extra money.

Go to Coliseum, in the room where you find Shield Rod (and a bagof 1000 gold). Using Alucard Shield + Rod Shield, Talisman andother item combos, you will be able to take 1000 gold at aboutevery twelve seconds.

Get the Jewel Sword from Discus Lord and go to the room in thelibrary with all the Flea Men and the Dhuron. Kill them to getrings. Note: This works better if you have both the Ring Of Arcanaor Ring Of Arcana and a Ring Of Varda Paranthropus equipped.

Hint: No damage while underwater:
Get the Holy Symbol relic and turn it on. Go underwaterand you will take no damage.

Hint: Free ride:
Note: Enabling the "Start with 99 luck" codemay make this easier. Head for the Castle Keep area and get theLeap Stone. Then, return to the Marble Gallery's long hallway(withthe eyeball floating in the background). Approach a Diplocephalus(green ugly creature with a naked woman for a tail). Double jump,then drop kick onto the Diplocephalus's back to get a free ride.You will get knocked off if you get hit by one of its fireballsor if you kill it.

Hint: Keep Alucard's equipment:
Begin a game with the "Start with 99 luck"code. After reaching the room with the three Wargs (before theroom with Death), kill them all. To enter the next room withoutconfronting Death, tap Right until you are slightly intothe room. Do not go too far over or else Death will get your character.Go back, remove everything except for the Alucard Sword, TwilightCloak, and Necklace of J. This should result in a DEF rating of12. Kill the first Warg (going left) and stand in front of themiddle Warg, but make sure you are facing left. Allow it hit you.It should send your character flying out of the room and pastDeath. Then, save the game. once you return to the room with Death,Slogra And Gaibon will be there. It does not matter if they aredefeated, they will still be in their original room. You willbe 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 theroom, but as soon as the screen turns black, begin holding Left.The game show the screen and you will walk right back out withoutmeeting Death. Go ahead with the rest of the trick as described(take off the items, kill the first Warg headed left, let thesecond hit you, etc.). Additionally, do not go through the holeleading into the room Death was in, as this will cause the gameto glitch and show Alucard repetitively falling through the holeinto the room of Death.

Hint: Raise luck:
Equip the Alucard Sword, Alucard Shield, and AlucardMail. The game will change your status to Alucard and increaseyour luck +30. This is useful when attempting to get rare items.

Hint: Hover jump:
Press X, release, and quickly press Xagain and you will hover in midair for a brief moment insteadof dropping to the ground. This requires practice, and the effectis most noticeable (and useful) prior to obtaining the Leap Stone.

Hint: Big jump:
Once you have the Super Jump Relic, press Down,Up, X to do a very high jump,

Hint: Drop kick:
After obtaining the Leap Stone, Alucard can do a dropkick attack. To do it, hold Down during a double jump,and press Jump again. If the attack connects, you willcause base damage (equal to an unarmed attack), plus or minushit resistance/weakness. Also, if the attack connects, you willjump again as if you had just landed, and you can double jump-dropkick again.

Hint: Wolf Charge:
Alucard can learn a spell that you do not buy. PressDown/Left for the Wolf Charge.

Hint: Double-Slash:
There is a way to negate slow recovery times of weapons,and in effect, "double-slash". Tap Jump lightlyto perform a small hop, then immediately before you land backon the ground, tap Square or Circle to attack inmid-air. Then a split second later when Alucard's feet touch theground, tap Square or Circle again. Alucard willattack again, regardless of whether the weapon has a long cooldown time or not. Note: Even if the animation of the initial attackis interrupted, it still counts. This is useful for strong weaponsthat are normally slow, such as the Sword Familiar.

Hint: Mid-Air Double-Slash:
Some weapons in the game hit twice when the Squareor Circle is held long enough while in mid-air. What lookslike one slash will actually count as two hits. Tap Jumpto perform a low hop, like in the "Double-Slash" trick,then at the peak of the jump, hold Square or Circle.Alucard will perform a slash, but you will notice two damage countersappear. This only works for some swords, presumably those withauras, such as the Sword Familiar, Icebrand, Firebrand, Thunderbrand,etc. Used in conjunction with the "Double-Slash" trick,you can perform triple-slashes by using the mid-air double-slash,then tapping Square or Circle once you touch theground.

Hint: Sleeping Alucard:
Find a chair that Alucard can sit in without beingdisturbed (for example, near a Boss). Sit in it, and leave thegame running for awhile without pausing. Every so often, you willsee Z's appearing.

Hint: Faerie on your shoulder:
When you have the Faerie familiar, get her out anddo not move. In a little while, the Faerie will go onto your shoulderto sit. If you move, she will fall off with a screech.

Hint: Axe Shield:
If you fight the Axe Lord Armors, they will eventuallydrop an Axe Shield.

Hint: Dragon Statue:
Occasionally, when a Petrify attack hits Alucard, hewill turn into a giant, kneeling dragon statue instead of an Alucardstatue. In this form, you will not take any damage whatsoeverfrom attacks. Breaking out of the stone returns Alucard to hisoriginal form.

Hint: Librarian bounce items:
After obtaining the Leap Stone and Gravity Boots, returnto the Long Library, and proceed all the way to the left fromthe entrance. In the last room, there is a hole in the ceilingthat takes you to directly under the Librarian. Line up directlyunder the hole, and Super Jump. Jumping first, then doing a SuperJump will result in absolutely no effect. Doing the Super Jumprepeatedly (without hitting the floor) will result in the Librariandropping a Life Up, Ring of Arcana, AxeLord Armor, and DraculaTunic. 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 describedpreviously. In the last room, you need the Leap Stone and GravityBoots. Stand directly under the hole in the ceiling and pressDown, 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 press Down, Up,Jump. When your magic is used up about half way, you willobtain one of the items.

Hint: Crisseagrim sword:
The best sword in the game is the Crisseagrim (obtainedfrom the Schmoos in the Inverted Library). It is not the mostpowerful, but its speed and number of hits allows many of theBosses (Medusa, Mummy ,Frankenstien) to be killed in under tenseconds. Note: Bosses with multiple parts, such as Beelzebub,and those that jump away when hit, such as Doppleganger 40, donot suffer from the multiple hits as well.

Hint: Duplicator:
After you complete the game return to the Librarian.He will have something special for you, a Duplicator which duplicatesany items you use -- you will never run out of anything again.However, it costs 500,000 gold. Try to get the gold close to whereyou found the mermaids icon in the tunnel that the oarsman takesyou. It gives you 2000 a piece there -- not a lot but the bestthere is. Note: You have to get the good ending (by killing Dracula)first.

Hint: Ring Of Varda:
Kill the big yellow skeletons (Paranthropus), in theReverse Misty Tower. The Ring Of Varda gives all your stats alarge 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 combinedwith the Arcana Ring will help.

Hint: Marsil sword:
To get the best looking sword in the game, you musthave high luck. Go to the Inverted laboratory and kill the FireDemons until you get the Marsil. They will also give you the firesheild.

Hint: Mublung sword:
In the inverted castle, you will find a Spectral Swordin the Reverse Chapel. That Spectral Sword drops a sword calledthe Mublung Sword. This sword can be used to do the shields specialmoves and its stronger than the Shield Rod.

Hint: King's Stone:
The little bat-like creatures that blow at your headwill give you a King's Stone (STR +10)

Hint: Poison Sword:
Kill the Lesser Demon in inverted laboratory to getthe sword.

Hint: Stone Sword:
Go to the inverted castle and kill the Gordons untilyou get the sword.

Hint: Sword Of Dawn:
In the inversed castle, when coming out of the roomwhere you defeated Shaft, go left, then go up to where the Powerof Mist was in the normal castle (past the strange face that appearscorrectly both right-side up and upside down). There will be afairly tall column there. Do your super jump up to the top andslash (or turn on the cross and jump up so that the crosses canhit the column). The top portion of the column will cave in andthere will be a sword called "Sword Of Dawn" there.When you use the Down, Down/Forward, Forwardmove, it will summon one of several different kinds of skeletalwarriors. One moves forward and attacks enemies, another createsarrows, another summons about four skeleton archers, and anothercreates a skeleton magician.

Hint: The Talisman:
The Talisman is the hardest item in the game to obtain.Go to the Outer Wall and get near the uppermost elevator entrance.There are three skeletons with muskets there. Kill these repeatedlyuntil you get the Talisman, which makes you invincible. The Ringof Acarna and Lapis Lazuli help somewhat, but the Talisman isstill very difficult to get. Note: You can also acquire one inthe Reverse Laboratory.

Hint: Easy sword level up:
After you have acquired the sword familiar, go to thecastle entrance. You will see a part of that level where mermanare jumping out of the water. Stand on the left ledge. Take outthe sword familiar and let it attack everything. This will takeabout four or five hours. Alucard will never be hit as long ashe is on the left ledge. You can use the sword familiar as a weaponwhen it reaches level 50, or you can get the most powerful weaponin the game by letting it go to level 99.

Hint: Defeating Doppleganger 10:
Use the watch sub-weapon. When he freezes, attack himuntil he dies.

Hint: Defeating Doppleganger 40:
Equip Terminus Est (sword) and Topaz Circlet (HeadGear). This is because he will use any sword you use, and theTerminus Est is a poison sword. The Topaz Circlet will convertPoison damage into HP.

The Dopplegangers react to abnormal status attacks in the sameway that you do. Therefore, use the Terminus Est (poisoned sword)to reduce his attack strength, the Stone Sword to inflict Petrifydamage, Icebrand to encase him in a block of ice, and Red Rust(which curses the target) to totally disable his attacks.

Hint: Defeating Dracula:
When you fight as Richter against Dracula (in the Prologue:Final Battle level), Alucard's starting stats are determined byseveral factors:

Richter should not pick up any items (Holy Water or Cross).
He should not get hit.
Do not let Maria resurrect him

Equip the Shield Rod and Alucard Shield. Press Square +Circle. If your shield touches an enemy such as Dracula,it will do about 200 to 250 damage. You can do this rapidly. Itwill take down magic -- only use Shield when needed.

Hint: Defeating Final Dracula:
To kill Dracula without getting hit, all you need isthe 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 willactually gain health each time the Shield hits Dracula.

Hint: Defeating Galamoth:
Equip the following items. Sentient sword familiarat level 99. Find a sword familiar in Olrox's quarters at thebottom right, where the holes in the ground are located. See theValhalla Knights. The Alucard shield is found where Merman Statueis located, but only in the upside down castle. For the BerylCirclet. ask the librarian for list of enemies to recover thisitem. Get God's Garb from the Guardian in the clock room of theupside down castle. Then, get two Rings Of Varda. The Beryl Circletwill make you absorb Galamoth's lightning rod. Galamoth is foundin the upside down castle, where the catacombs where you fightthe orb.

First, get the Crisseagrim sword from a Schmoo (white flying heads)in the library. When you get to Galamoth, turn into mist and flyto the platform behind his head. Turn back to Alucard and startto attack him using the Crisseagrim. He will have no chance toattack or even move. Note: Crisseagrim is the ultimate weaponin combat, alongside the Shield Rod/Alucard Shield combo.

Equip the Shield Rod and Alucard Shield. Repeatedly press Square+ Circle. Then, put the shield to his leg. It will repeatedlykeep taking 199 lives away from him quickly until he is dead.

Hint: More game completion percentage:
Once you have collected the Sword Card and the Soulof Bat relic, go to the Royal Chapel. In the very bottom-leftcorner of the first Bell Tower is a "door" to a roomwith two large candles. Stand in the bell tower, activate theSword Familiar, and do the Sword Brother's spell (Down,Down/Right, Right, Up/Right, then hold Up,Down, Circle or Square). While the swordis spinning, shift into a bat and fly to the left. You shouldstay in the bell tower and be able to fly up and around the outsideof it. This will fill in a white block on your map, which countson your percentage. This can also be done in the inverted Chapel.Note: This requires your Sword Familiar be at Level 99/Exp 99.

Hint: 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 nearthe start of the normal castle where the zombies continuouslyappear. Set yourself up against a wall where you can attack them,but they cannot attack you from behind. Enable the turbo featureand keep the knife button held. You will continuously kill thezombies without getting hurt. This will slowly earn experiencefor your familiar card. Note: If the cards evolve, they will beautomatically be put away afterwards and will gain any more experienceuntil they are brought back out again.

Familiars increase mainly by number of kills rather than experiencevalue, especially with Alucard at very high levels. Exceptionsare made for Bosses (higher) and Blood Skeletons (none). Finda location where lots of enemies constantly replenish, such asin the Marble Gallery in the inverted castle, where Medusa Headsappear, or in the reverse Caverns, where large numbers of DarkOctopi 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 thefamiliars. Go to the reverse caverns in the area after fightingDoppleganger 40. In this area is a room with lots of Dark Octopuses.Drop down into the room and use a Bat Pentagram then a normalPentagram and jump back out. Each time you do this, you will get20 to 30 experience for the familiar, and it can be done manytimes in one minute.

Go to the Reverse Underground's Caverns, until a room filled withDark Octopus after Doppleganger40 appears. This room resemblesthe following:XXXXXXXX_ _XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Equip Power Of Sire and Duplicator. Stay in one of the littleplatforms at the top of the screen. Use Power Of Sire, wait twoseconds, then jump out of screen. You will fall in the octopusscreen again. This method kills 13 Dark Octopus in about fiveseconds each time. Starting with a Familiar at level 1, you willreach level 99 in about two hours.

When you have the Medusa Shield or Dark Shield, go to the zombiesat the beginning of the game. Put on one of these shields, thenuse some tape to bind Circle down. Allow the game to idlein this state. In about ten to twelve hours your Familiars willbe at 99/99.

Hint: Use Sword Familiar as weapon:
When you get the Sword Familiar at level 99 and experience99, you can use it as a sword. Note: It is the most powerful swordin the game.

Hint: Blue-Green Sword Familiar:
Level up the Sword Familiar to level 50 so you canequip it as a weapon. Equip it, then go to the clock room in theBlack Marble Gallery (second castle). Head up and save in theroom to the right. Reset, then load your game again. Once yougain control of your character, try slashing. You will noticethat instead of the normal green aura, the Sword Familiar willemit a combined blue and green aura.

Hint: Skip prelude battle:
You can avoid the fight against Dracula in the preludeas Richter. Just walk to the right as soon as you start. Thiswill skip the prelude and jump directly to Alucard on the bridge.

Hint: Secret passage:
At the outer-wall section of the castle, defeat theArmor Lord and go into the next room. Slash the far left wall,get the Meat, and stand in the wall you have broken for approximatelytwenty seconds. An elevator will take you into a secret room containingJewel Knuckles and a Mirror Cuirass. Note: This trick brings youto the room that requires Mist to pass in the Outer-Wall. Thisalso works with playing as Richter Belmont. Both can be used onlyin the normal castle

Hint: Secret room:
Start a new game as Richter. As soon as the game starts(at the front gate of the castle), press Left. You shouldnow be in a new room with something special behind a grate afterit is opened.

Hint: Return from inverted castle:
If you want to return from the inverted castle backto the original, use the Library Card Item. It will return youto the room in the original castle's library where you buy items.The Library Card can be found in a few different places in bothcastles.

Hint: 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 theStone Skull. You must have Skill Of Wolf to run swiftly.

Hint: Go through inverted castle faster:
Use the following trick to get to the inverted castlefaster without getting the Spike Breaker. First, save the game.Obtain Faerie Familiar, and get at least one Life Apple item (usableonly by Faerie). When you already have the Gold Ring after defeatingSuccubus and your Mist and Power Of Mist card, go to the upper-leftpart of the castle where you can get the Silver Ring. This locationhas many spikes, and is where you meet Maria. Unequip all youritems then bring your HP down by stepping on the spikes to thelowest possible amount; until one more step on the spikes willkill you. After that, summon your Faerie familiar. Finally, morphto Mist and travel to the left until you reach the green door.Use up all your MP by not re-morphing to normal Alucard. You willnow die when you hit the spikes. Your Faerie familiar will reviveyou through your Life Apple and give Alucard a supernaturallyinvincible appearance, where you will be able to run through spikeswithout dying for a limited amount of time. You can also opendoors at the same time. After this happens, run your way throughthe door and open it. Then, talk to Maria, and get the SilverRing. After that, wait for your MP to be filled to the max, thenopen the door. Do not worry about dying when you hit the spikes,as this will not happen. Quickly transform to Mist, then fly upto the exit. After this, get the Holy Glasses to Maria. DefeatRichter by equipping your Holy Glasses.

Hint: Introduction forest secret:
Start a new game as Richter. As soon as the game starts,immediately turn around, duck, and do the sliding attack. Youwill exit the entrance to the castle before the main gate closes.You can now walk outside, on top, or to the very start of thegame where Alucard runs to enter the castle. Note: Once you slideattack your way out the first time, the main gate will not openfor 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 havefirst exited the gate. Go on for about 30 seconds all the wayto the left. Richter will automatically do an Alucard introductionby running through the forest, jumping on the bridge, and say"Holy Cross!" when he jumps the gate to enter Castlevaniaagain.

Hint: Cowering Skelarangs:
This trick only works at the start of the game. Attacka Skelerang with the short sword one time, then stand still anddo not move. The Skelerang should crouch down on its knees andcover its head, and will stay this way until you move away fromit.

Hint: True fountain form:
Enter Orlox's Keep and fight your way to the fountainguarded by two Valhalla Knights. The fountain should change thewater coming from it to blood. After this happens, keep jumpingor flying around the fountain, but make sure the moon is directlybehind it. The full moon will show the fountain's true shape,of a demon instead of an angel.

Glitch: Stuck Alucard:
Defeat Richter Belmont and go to the Inverted castle.In the same area where you just defeated him, go to the torchthat gives you the cross. Hit the switch above it, walk to thetop and backdash down. He will do it twice, drop through it, andget stuck at the end.

Glitch: Slogra and Gaibon clones:
When you begin a new game, you will encounter a battlewith two Bosses, slogra (green demon with the spear) and Gaibon(the flying blue gargoyle) in the alchemy laboratory. There isa 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 enterthe battleground. However, as soon as you enter it, quickly pressLeft so that the wall will not close. If you managed toquickly exit before the wall closes, go to the place above thelocation where you first met death and stole your weapons. Youwill see that there is a hole in the middle. Allow yourself tofall through the hole and you will see that both Bosses are thereinstead of the normal battle location. Defeat the Gaibon first-- if you hit the Slogra, the Gaibon will carry the Slogra andflee. If this happens, quickly exit to the left room then go backqucikly so that they will appear again . You will get experiencefrom this, and will also see these two Bosses again in their originallocations.

Glitch: Bat card:
Summon the Bat card then turn into a bat yourself.Another bat will appear with a heart.

Glitch: Alternate colors:
Use the "Easy sword level up" trick to getthe Sword Familiar to level 99. Then, cross all the towers. Whenyou get to the last one, you will see that it ends and find thedoor that leads to the outside where you fly up to fight RichterBelmont. When you get to the end, go on the top of the door. Youshould be inside the castle again, but when you go outside thebackground will colored differently.

Glitch: Extra items:
Go to the Anti-Chapel in the Inverted Castle at thetop of the largest tower. Perform the Sword Familiar glitch andexit the castle. Fall all the way down to the top of the roomwith the spikes. Then, keep walking to the right until you fallinto the spike room. It would help to have the Spike Breaker Armorequipped so you do not take any damge. Exit to the left and keepfollowing the halls to the left until you reach a save point.Save the game and reset the PlayStation. When you get back tothe playing screen, you should have some rare items such as Mosafune.

Glitch: Pain lines:
Play the game on a Playstation2. Go to the undergroundarea where you fight the frozen Shades. Kill them and the screenwill have pink slashes all over it as they scream. This also workswith Venus Weeds and Frozen Halves.
