You start off as Richter Belmont as you travel back to Transylvania in 1792.
Basically play through this scenario like normal, don't worry though, you
can't lose. Everytime you lose your vitality Maria will come in and pray for
you and you will refill your vitality. BUT, do as well as you can because it
will effect Alucard's stats later in the game. And try not to use the
"Triangle Move" which will also effect Alucard's stats later in the game.
Afterwards you will get a small prologue to the beginning of the game. It
tells of the story of how Richter Belmont successfully defeated Dracula and
it tells what happened as Richter misteriously disappeared from the face of
the earth. Dracula's Castle has now reappeared without any warning or clues
as Maria wanders into the castle to search for her brother.
=============================================================================
THE BEGINNING
Alucard's level: 1
Items: Life Max, Sunglasses, Leather Shield, Hide Cuirass, Cube of Zoe,
Short Sword, Resist Thunder, Cloth Cape, Knife, Basilard
Monsters: Bat, Zombie, Merman, Warg, Bone Scimitar
=============================================================================
Once you begin you will see Alucard run towards the castle gate before it
closes. Inside, continue to go forward as you will encounter a few monsters
on the way, destroy them for easy points to gain your levels. In the next
room, ignore the path at the top, you can hit the giant boulder to the right
to get a Pot Roast to recovery any lost HP you might have endured. Take this
time to go to the bottom of the room and just kill the Sahagins for some more
easy expierience, but DO NOT enter the water, water is very harmful for
Draculas, and considering that Alucard is half human and half dracula, its
best that you avoid doing so. You can earn a level or two, but afterwards
continue to the top right of the room. In this room, keep going towards the
right, in this room you will meet Death.
This conversation holds that Death does not want Alucard to enter further
into the castle, as Alucard refuses Death takes away ALL of his weapons and
armors and relics, and basically everything that he was wearing. Don't worry,
just keep going to the next room and just climb up and continue towards the
left and hit the next skeleton you see until he dies. Pick up the SHORT SWORD
and equip it in your inventory. To the top of the room you will find the CUBE
OF ZOE, which will allow you to obtain items from the various candles around
the place.
Next continue onto the top left and through the room to the Alchemy
Labratory. Go to the far left and destroy the skeletons and hit the switch on
the platform the skeleton was standing on and step on it. Then hit the golden
globe and it will drop the HIDE CUIRASS. Next go up and to the left and
destroy the alchemy flaming vase and pick up and equip the LEATHER SHIELD and
continue towards the top left through the doorway. In this room you will find
a Knife(which is your special weapon), then continue to the top left. In this
room destroy the skeleton and pick up the RESIST THUNDER by destroying the
vase. Continue on and in this next room, hit the switches that removes the
spikes on the floor(hit both switches).
Now move the box to the RIGHT set of spikes that you removed, now hit the
RIGHT spike switch again and it will create a path that will allow you to go
to the top right and lead to the CLOTH CAPE. Now go back to the box and spike
room and go to the left. In this room head down and to the left to the save
room, press up over the hexigonal figure to save your game. Head back out to
the room and go towards the top right, you can pick up the Axe if you want,
but its not neccessary to defeat the upcoming boss, but it will make it a bit
easier. Here at the top left room and a boss fight will start as you approach
the bottom right of the room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Slorga and Gaibon HP: 200 each EXP: 200 each
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle is pretty easy, stay to the bottom right and stay under the
ledge, just as long as Slorga can't reach you. Wait for Slorga to drop and
then hit him which will make Gaibon pick him back up. Repeat this until
Slorga is gone. Gaibon will be a bit tougher. Wait until he lands and then
throw him, press the "O" button to put out your shield and you can block his
fireballs, but you can also destroy them as well. Watch for Gaibon to turn
red, he will start to throw out giant fireballs. When he lands on the ground
get near him and duck and keep slashing as he fires the giant fireballs and
run around to avoid his fireballs when he fires them in the air. Afterwards
you will have gained two levels for defeating these two cronies.
After the battle you can pick up a LIFE MAX item which is dropped and it will
not only refill your HP but it will raise your maximum HP up another level.
Now continue towards the right and in this room destroy the monsters and
enter the middle room in the vertical path to save your game, then go to the
bottom and enter that room and make your way downwards through the lift and
it will stop to allow you to go to the middle room to pick up the SUNGLASSES.
Then head back out and go down and to the left, destroy the cannon to open up
the path back to the beginning of the game and pick up the BASILARD. Now
return to the room with the lift and go back up the lift all the way to the
room after the boos fight and head to the UPPER MOST room. In this room go
down or up, but you can go the downpath and pick up the POTION. Now head
towards the right room and towards the Marble Gallery.
In here just destroy the Axe Knights and continue onwards to the right. Now
go down and continue to make your way downwards until you start to see
stained glass windows and, you will see a doorway to the bottom right,
however, go to the left and pick up the SPIRIT ORB, which will allow you to
see enemy damage. Which isn't neccessarily a useful relic in this game. Now
head towards the right doorway. Here just make it down through the vertical
path and you will see a giant Ball and Chain knight, he's pretty easy to
destroy and is A LOT WEAKER than he looks.
Destroy him and continue on through, you will also see a room that has ghosts
popping out everywhere. These suckers are easy to destroy, so destroy them to
get a lot of expierience points towards your next level. Continue on dowards,
you will find a giant flying beast, its VERY POWERFUL, use your special
weapon and attack it with your weapon as well. Now continue onwards towards
the room and step on the switch in which the rock will drop itself and the
wall will rise up. I know I know, that's all you came all this way here to
do.
But this will help you out later in the game, mainly shortcuts. Now head
back to the room to the right and go back to the stop of the Marble Gallery.
You should head back to the place where you saw a giant staircase on the
right, basically go back to the beginning of the Marble Gallery where you had
first entered. It shouldn't be hard because its not a maze. You will later
find a room with a lot of clocks, keep going until you reach the giant clock
on the wall. You will first meet with Maria, they introduce and she leaves.
Don't worry about the moving statue to the top left, you can't do anything
with that right now. For now, head towards the right. Keep going pass the
clock room and continue your way upwards and to the next room.
Keep going towards the right and in this next room you will have four ways to
choose from. Take the bottom right and keep going towards the right and you
will find a VERY LONG gold and stone colored hallway. You will notice a giant
eye staring at your from the background, don't worry about it though, you
will NEVER even encounter the giant eyeball. However, its just funny to watch
it move around though. Continue through to reach the Outer Wall.
=============================================================================
THE OUTER WALL
Alucard's level: 9
Items: Gladius, Life Max
Monsters: Skeleton Ape, Armor Lord, Sword Lord, Spear Guard, Medusa Head
Doppleganger10
=============================================================================
Now when you reach here, go up and take the top left path. Keep going and
keep going to the left and save your game. Now take the top right path and a
boss battle will ensue.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Doppleganger10 HP: 120 EXP: 500
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle will be tough, but you must be patient and don't go into a fury
trying to attack yourself. You should jump over his little swords that he
throws at you. When he jumps at you, don't run but attack back and just swipe
at him. HE reacts like you, so your attack will bounce him back as well. You
axes will help out A LOT here, throw them so that it lands at him, which
makes it a lot easier to win this battle because it keeps him away and it
keeps him from throwing out his weapons at you. Other than that just be
patient and attack him if he jumps and avoid him when he turns into a bat.
After the battle you will get another LIFE MAX item which will increase your
maximum HP and refill your entire loss HP. In this next room pick up the
GLADIUS and equip the sword on. Now continue upwards towards the right and
into the next door(you can ignore the lift, mainly because you can't ride it
just yet) and to the long Library.
=============================================================================
THE LONG LIBRARY
Alucard's level: 10
Items: Bronze Cuirass, Uncurse(unlimited), Jewel of Open(buy), Faerie Scroll
Monsters: Thornweed, Corpseweed(evolve after Thronweed), Lesser Demon,
Duhron, Ectoplasm, Flea Man, Spell Book, Magic Tome, Flea Armor
=============================================================================
In here continue and take the left path and keep going and keep destroying
the monsters until you reach the room with the BRONZE CUIRASS. Equip it on
and make your way back to the beginning of the Long Library and go up. You
will encounter these flying balls of flesh, don't touch them or you'll be
cursed. Luckily there is an UNCURSE in the room, equip the UNCURSE and use it
like a weapon to uncurse yourself, you can keep re-entering this room and get
unlimited UNCURSEs. Now continue upwards and in this room, keep going to the
bottom left. You will eventually meet up with the Librarian and you can now
use all those money bags you've gotten for some valuable goodies.
FIRST YOU MUST BUY THE JEWEL OF OPEN, which is the valuable relic and it will
allow you to open the doors with the blue seal around them(like the one you
probably saw at the Marble Gallery). You can also sel any gems you might have
picked up, but you can NEVER sell back any items. Now return back and take
the top right portion of the hallway and you will find the FAERIE SCROLL,
which will display your opponent's name. Now just exit the Long Library and
come back later and back to the Outer Wall.
=============================================================================
RETURN TO THE OUTER WALL
Alucard's Level: 12
Items: Soul of Wolf
Monsters: Skeleton Ape, Armor Lord, Sword Lord, Spear Guard, Medusa Head
=============================================================================
Now go to the top of the Outer Wall and you will see a switch at the top
left, keep hitting it until the Elevator is activated. Now go back to the
lift you saw when you came in and ride it, then pick up the SOUL OF WOLF,
which will transform you into a wolf for later in the game. Now go all the
way to the top of the Outer Wall and save your game. Now enter the next area
in the door RIGHT BELOW THE SAVE ROOM and you will now be at the Clock Tower.
BUT, you should go back to the Marble Gallery and make your way back to the
room with where you saw for stiarcases in an X shape, you took the lower
right path remember? Now take the upper right path and you will see a blue
door, hit that switch inside the blue door and you will open up the pink
platforms you saw earlier. No go to the left after hitting the switch and go
down through the now open pink barricades and into the Underground Caverns.
=============================================================================
UNDERGROUND CAVERNS
Alucard's Level: 13
Items: Heart Max, Bandana, Life Max, Merman Statue, Shitake
Monsters: Fish Head, Bloody Zombie, Frozen Shade, Scylla, Killer Fish, Bone
Archer, Bat, Toad, Frog, Skeleton Ape, Scylla Wyrm
=============================================================================
Now continue down and watch for the Spear Guards, destroy them and take the
next available left that you see and inside is another HEART MAX, break the
wall to the left and then pick up the BANDANA and equip it on. Now go back to
the room you came in(the vertical Underground Caverns room), then go to the
right and save your game. Now drop straight down deeper into the caverns.
There is a save room to the right, now take the left. In here take the NEXT
AVAILABLE left that you see and it will lead to a LIFE MAX, enter back into
the vertical room and go down(if you go up, you'll just end back where you
went to get the HEART MAX and BANDANA) back into the the deeper parts of the
Caverns and to the left.
When you see a box in front of you, push it to the left wall, not only that
but will will drown the Spear Guards! You should watch their reaction, its
just funny. Now keep going to the left, and above all(no pun intended), STAY
ABOVE THE WATER! Its very harmful to Alucard as it will steadily drain his HP
away. Keep moving towards the left(ignore the board bridge for now) and you
will see a giant waterfall, avoid the water and keep moving towards the
bottom left. You will notice that its colder in here since there the water
has turned into ice.
Keep going to the left and you will eventually see an opening at the top,
head there and pick up the SHITAKE and continue onto the left, in this door
will lead to a LIFE MAX and hit the switch to open up the gate. Now GO BACK
TO THE UNDERGROUND CAVERNs and continue that path to the left and take a ride
with the Ferryman. It will lead you to the MERMAN STATUE relic, which will
allow you to summon the oarsman. Now head back and take the top path you took
earlier(where you took the SHITAKE) and you will be where you had started at
the beginning of the game. Keep going through and pass where you met Death
until you see a room with a Bloody Zombie, now take the bottom left room and
enter through and enter the key hole. Now you will be back at the Outer Wall.
=============================================================================
RE-RETURN TO THE OUTER WALL
Alucard's Level: 15
Items: None
Monsters: Skeleton Ape, Armor Lord, Sword Lord, Spear Guard, Medusa Head
=============================================================================
Return back to the Marble Gallery(go to the bottom of the Outer Wall).
=============================================================================
REVISIT TO UNDERGROUND CAVERNS VIA MARBLE GALLERY
Alucard's level: 15
Items: Library Card, Attack Potion
Monsters: *check monsters for Outer Wall and Marbel Gallery*
=============================================================================
Upon returning, you will see another pink barricade open to you. Go down to
pick up the LIBRARY CARD and the ATTACK POTION. Now continue and go take the
upper left and into the next pink barricade and enter through to the
Underground Caverns again.
=============================================================================
RETURN TO THE UNDERGROUND CAVERNS Alucard's Level: 15
=============================================================================
Now take the straight path down, ALL THE WAY DOWN until you see the deeper
parts of the Underground Caverns. Drop straight down until you see a portion
of the structure that is partially turned ice. Hit the lower left part of
that structure until it crumbles and continue your down until you see the
Ferryman. He will take you across and make sure to pick up the HOLY SYMBOL,
which will allow you to walk through water without incurring any damage. Now
continue through and go to the bottom of the water and pick up the ELIXIR,
LIFE MAX, and KNUCKLE DUSTER in ther waters in this room. Now head back to
the left and up and take the doorway to the right, and this will ensue a boss
fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Scylla Wyrm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle is rediculously easy. Even easier than the first boss that you
had fought earlier. Stay away from the wyrm in the corner and keep slashing
and hacking and running away. Repeat and its mince meat.
After the battle continue on through to the the right. Keep going to the
right and pick up a SCMITAR and equip it and pick up the RESIST ICE in the
water as well. Now continue onwards to the top and to the right and destroy
the vase to pick up the POT ROAST and continue on back to the left. As the
music stops you know a boss is coming up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Scylla Wyrm(3)/Scylla
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle is easier than it looks. Attack the Wyrms first, you can also
destroy the projectiles before they come flying at you. After destroying the
Wyrms attack Scylla, you can stay in the floor that its standing on (the
tentacles CAN'T harm you) and just jump up and keep attacking it.
NOTE: This isn't really anythign important, but did you notice that the
Scylla Wyrm had came down on the room that you were previously in?
When you fought the Scylla Wyrm, Scylla was right on top of you!
After the battle pick up the LIFE MAX and continue onwards to the left
and pick up the CRYSTAL CLOAK. Now go back and save your game. Now take the
left and then go up and make your way back to the Marble Gallery(where you
came in earlier). Now when you reach the Marble Gallery, keep going up until
you can reach no farther left. Now go down the the bottom left(the right left
leads to a save room) and continue onward(like you did before) until you
reach the room where you had to step on the lever to move the wall. Now in
this room, take the bottom left room and enter through the key hole and you
should enter the Outer Wall(look at the symbol on top of the key hole, it
should look like a snake or a catipillar, sorry but its really hard to tell
exactly what it is).
Now when your at the Outer Wall, GO ALL THE WAY DOWN until you see Sword
Knight, destroy him and enter the room behind him, then hit the wall on the
left which will reveal a POT ROAST. NOW THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: Wait here for
20 seconds and sooner or later a lift will bring you down to the bottom room
below, make sure to stay in the middle of the broken stone, DO NOT STAY ON
THE EDGES AND DO NOT TOUCH THE WALL. Afterwards you will be at a room down
below which contains JEWEL KNUCKLES and the MIRROR CUIRASS, you can equip the
JEWEL KNUCKLES if you want, the attack power is eight points higher but the
range is drastically decreased from your SCIMITAR. Equip the MIRROR CUIRASS,
now head back up, if you did not get the LIFE MAX earlier, then get it, which
is to the far right on the ledge from the Doppleganger10 bossroom, be careful
though, make a small jump because a high jump will cause you to fall down
below.
Now go back to the keyhole room and enter through to the key hole near the
Alchemy lab. When you reach the key hole, head out and take the top left and
to the Alchemy Lab and make it to the room JUST BEFORE THE ROOM YOU FOUGHT
Gaibon and Slorga. In this room just before the room where you had fought
Slorga and Gaibon, go around the top and land and take the doorway just above
the save room. Continue on past the blue door and you will meet up with
Maria again. This time Maria saids the castle isn't familiar to her, but
Alucard tells her that the castle takes on a lot of reincarnations. She says
her goodbyes and leaves where you came, now go and continue towards the
left and into the Royal Chapel.
=============================================================================
ROYAL CHAPEL
Alucard's Level: 15
Items: Knight Shield, Aquamarine, Silver Plate, Life Max, Potion, Cutlass
Monsters: Vandal Sword, Hunting Girl, Bone Halbred, Black Crow, Winged Guard,
Corner Guard, Bone Pillar, Blue Raven, Skelerang, Bat, Spectral
Sword
=============================================================================
There is a save room to the left, then after saving, make your way to the top
and destroy the vase to the left for the AQUAMARINE gem in which you can sell
it for some money. Now make your way to the right via the long golden
staircase, note that it will be a little tough destroying the enemies on the
staircase and watch how you destroy the enemies, hit the top one first
because the head will fall down at you. And when you encounter the giant
Spike, DO NOT TRY TO DESTROY IT, it will give you about 4000 EXP at this
point in the game but it has a lot of HP and will probably knock you out with
a hit or two.
Jump over the falling Spike and continue onwards to the right, at the end you
can pick up a KNIGHT SHIELD, but other than that you won't get far, be
careful when fighting the Spectral Sword though, it gives away a lot of
expierience but can cause a lot of damage if you are not careful. Not take
the top right doorway and ignore the door to the right when you enter the
next room, its a confession room and if you sit on either side of the chairs,
the spirits of the dead will probably make confessions or something, I don't
think there is a significance to this portion of the game(maybe it'll come
back to me later) but if there is I'll remind you later.
Now continue to make your way up and you should begin to see a portion of one
of the belltower, and at some point you will find at the left side of the
Belltower is a room full of spikes, you can't enter through though. Continue
to make your way to the top of the tower and collect a LIFE MAX and and
SILVER PLATE. Equip it and then head on to the right and pass the hallyway to
the second belltower and at the top is a ZIRCON gem. Afterwards continue to
the right and past the long hallway to the portrait room, you should hear the
music stop as you enter in here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Hippogryph
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle will be very easy, this boss will be pretty easy to defeat.
Attack him normally, when it hatches its eggs destroy them before they have a
chance to hatch and just basically stay at either side of the room and keep
attacking. When it veers back and you see blue flames blowing out of its
head, its about ready to let loose its fire breath, which does a small
portion of damage but nothing to serious.
After the battle Maria will come in and congratulate you. However she asks if
you have seen Richter, apparently neither of you has seen him before, so she
leaves. Now continue to the right pass the hallway and continue to the right
until you see a save room, save your game and continue on to the top of the
third bell tower. At the top pick up the POTION and the CUTLASS sword and
equip the CUTLASS sword and continue on. Now continue to the right pass the
door.
When you enter here you will now enter the Castle Keep, but you will not see
the name appear like it usually does until you reach the far right. The door
in this room(the room with the two brown platforms going up and down) leads
to the key hole, just go to the keyhole but don't enter it, then go back to
the room with the lifts. In here take the top right to pick up the TYRFING
sword, don't bother equipping it though, just stick with your CUTLASS.
Now make your way to the left and continue going to the left and pick up the
LEAP STONE which lets you double jump and pick up the TURQUOISE gem. Now HEAD
BACK TO THE ROOM WITH THE BROWN LIFTS that you were in earlier. Head back to
the key hole room and take the room to the Outer Wall(the symbol IS NOT A
HORSE, its a catipillar or snake type of symbol). And go up and to the room
just before the save room at the very top and enter through to the left and
to the Clock Tower.
=============================================================================
THE CLOCK TOWER
Alucard's Level: 17
Items: Star Flail, Steel Helmet, Gold Plate, Life Max(2), Healing Mail,
Bwaka Knife, TNT, Shuriken, Heart Max
Monsters: Medusa Head, Phantom Skull, Skull Lord, Karasuman, Cloaked Knight,
Flail Guard, Spectral Sword, Harpy, Sword Lord
=============================================================================
Now take the top route and make your way to the left. BE CAREFUL in this
part, expect a few structures to crumble, jump up CONSTANTLY until you reach
the end, but you only need to watch for three crumbling structures. HOWEVER,
if you fall down you can reset the structure by GOING BACK TO THE OUTER WALL
AND RE-ENTERING. Here's a tip: You can use your Wolf after the first collapse
and then use the Wolf to make the jump to avoid fallin on the second
collpase, andyou can use the Wolf for the jump just prior to the third
collapse, but make sure you try to get as much running start as you can
before going and NOTE, THERE ARE TWO CONSECUTIVE BRIDGE COLLAPSES after the
first two bridge collapses, use the Wolf and time your jumps so you can reach
the other side, but to make things really easy you can use the double jump.
When you finally reach the Clock Tower, there will be a point where you need
to double jump, do so and continue to the left, the right leads back outside
but even if you have the double jump you can't get the items on top of the
posts you saw earlier. When you get to the next room, you will see flying
angels of some sort, destroy them and look for two gears on the side of the
wall that you can hit, hit the gears until you hear a click, then stop
hitting them. Continue to the bottom left and in this next room do the same
in the next room. There should be on in the water to the left and one at the
top right. Hit both those switches and the bottom left path should open.
In here pick up a STEEL HELM, GOLD PLATE, and the STAR FLAIL. Equip all of
them and continue back outside and to the TOP RIGHT of this room(where you
had hit the last two gears) and destroy the wall at the top right. It will
lead to another room which will eventually lead to a LIFE MAX and a HEART
MAX. Now make your way to the left and watch out when you destroy the Sword
Lords, a Vandal Sword will come after you, both are prtty easy to kill. Make
sure to knock the walls in this room too(even those on the staircases), you
will eventually find something of value, ala the HEALING MAIL. In the next
room you will find TNT, BWAKA KNIFE, and SHURIKEN. Now in this next room you
will have to face a boss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Karasuman
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle is one of the toughest battles you have fought yet. However, it
is a pretty easy battle. When you start just keep attacking him, watch for
him when he lands, he will start to gather birds and then take to the skies
and then release a whole bunch of birds. Get to the otherside of him when he
does this and then jump up and attack him. Just keep jumping and attacking
him and he will bounce away everytime until he is in the corner, then just
keep attacking and jumping attacking while he is in the corner and the battle
should be over.
After the battle you will recieve a LIFE MAX, now head to the left door which
leads back to the CASTLE KEEP.
In here just step on the platform and the room will light up, wait for the
platform to lift you and then head towards the top right room to save your
game. Now go up and then to the right is a FALCHION sword, which is less
powerful than your STAR FLAIL but it has more reach and is a quicker weapon,
its up to you basically. You can take the left but you'll never reach the
platform, so your only way is downwards. You can now head back to the Chapel
to the bottom left and then go back past the bell towers and then you can
collect those other treasures in the long staircase going down, you have to
double jump to reach some of them, they are at the ledges above the
staircase.
You can pick up a BOOMERRANG, TNT, SHURIKEN, and the MAGICMISSILE. You may
notice that there are two vases that you can't reach, don't worry about them,
the items really won't have a serious impact on your game anyways. Now head
down and move across back to the Alchemy Lab, then go up and through your
first boss room and continue to make your way back to the Marble Gallery.

A NEW JOURNEY LIES IN THE MARBLE GALLERY
Alucard's level: 22
Items: Heart Max, Alucart Mail, Alucart Shield, Alucart Sword
Monsters: Gaibon, Slorga, Bloody Zombie, Axe Knight, Bone Scimitar, Skeleton,
Spittle Bone, Ghost, Skelerang, Marionette, Diplocephalus, Flea
Man, Ctulhu, Medusa Head, Ghost, Ouija Table, Axe Knight, Slinger,
Plate Lord
=============================================================================
Continue to the right and you should make your way to the Giant Clock where
you had first met with Maria, use your Stop Watch(its a special weapon, if
you don't have it there is a Stop Watch to the far right, you can obtain it
by hitting candles, its in the fourth room past the Giant clock to the right,
and hit the second candle from the right of that fourth room and you should
recieve a Stop Watch). Now return back to the room with the Giant Clock and
use your Stop Watch. A statue at the top right should move out of the way
allowing you to get through. You can pick up the ALUCART SHIELD and a HEART
MAX.
The ALUCART shield is just a cheap rip off of the ALUCARD SHIELD you had
earlier in the game. Don't bother equipping it as it is an obvious fake(just
like the Excalipur to the Excalibur in FF5, you Final Fantasy fans should
know this). In the next room you will find the ALUCART SWORD and ALUCART
MAIL, they are obvious fakes as well. Now when you get back down, the statue
to the left should be open as well. Make your way to that area and continue
onward and you should find a LIFE MAX. Make your way to the door on the left.
This place will be pretty tough, just keep an eye out for things and you
don't have to destroy every monster, but then again they do give you a lofty
amount of expierience points. Now continue to make you way up until you are
in a room with the POLTERGEIST in the middle. On the bottom right of this
room, destroy the wall and continue through to pick up the ONIX gem, CHEESE,
and the BROADSWORD. You should still stick with the stronger weapon(STAR
FLAIL) but this sword does provide more reach though.
Now continue your way through to the top right(watch out in this next room
though, there are some rather tough enemies). Keep going to the right and
make your way until you see the key hole room with the goat symbol on top of
the key hole. Now leave and go back to the POLTERGEIST room and enter the
door on the left.
=============================================================================
COLLOSEUM
Alucard's level: 23
Items: Soul of a Mist, Life Max, Green Tea, Shield Rod, Library Card, Blood
Cloak, $1000 money bag
Monsters: Hunting Girl, Gravekeeper, Werewolf, Minotaurus, Blade Master,
Armor Lord, Bone Scimitar, Blade Soldier, Plate Lord, Axe Knight,
Owl Knight, Paranthropus, Bone Musket, Owl
=============================================================================
You will now be at the Colloseum(boy don't you love that uptempo beat that
this stage has? Sounds a bit 80's like but I like it!). Now continue going to
the left until you stop at a wall that only a MIST can pass through, go
upwards and you should see a large colleseum room. You will see several Blade
Masters(watch out they are tricky), in the middle of this room you will find
a hidden roof, you can destroy with the axe(it should be around both the
podium structures). Now continue to make your way to the left and then drop
down. You will see a path below you and to the left, take the bottom right
path to a boss. You will also pick up the LIBRARY CARD just prior to stopping
there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Werewolf and Minotaurus
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OH NO! Its Richter Belmont, has the Vampire Slayer turned evil? From the
looks of things he has. He sends two of his fiends after you, watch out
though, this can be your toughest battle yet. Attack the Werewolf first and
then watch for him to zoom towards you, jump when you anticipate it. Watch
for the Minotaur to use his giant flame attack, he will execute it after he
lands from jumping to the ceiling. Also watch for the Werewolf to spin at you
from the ceiling as well, you can double jump to avoid it and then attack
when he lands. You will have to do a lot of hit and run in this battle
though, so stay alert and attack when you have the chance.
After the battle Alucard knows for certain that was a Belmont and why is
Richter Belmont lord of the castle? After the battle pick up the LIFE MAX and
continue towards the right, go to the right and pick up the SOUL OF A MIST
relic, which will allow you to turn into a mist. Now step on the switch to
release open the path below and drop down until you stop at the red cage lift
and head to the right until you reach a save room. Save your game and then
head out and drop to the bottom and head to the right and pick up a HEART
MAX, note that there are four different special weapons in this room. You can
come back here to switch any special weapons that you may want while you are
in this stage.
Now make your way to the far left and pick up the BLOOD CLOAK, its pretty
useful but it comes at the expense of your defense, you can decide whether or
not your extra hearts is worth your declining defense. Now make your way back
to the red cage lift, move to the left(BE CAREFUL in this room, its quite
tough to get by and you will have to take a few hits) and destroy the
monsters in here as quickly as possible. Now continue towards the left until
you reach a save room. Now is the time to save your game, you can go to the
top and hit the switch to the left(which will open the path back to the Royal
Chapel).
After that head directly downwards and to the bottom left, in here there are
a lot of enemies(even the Musket Bone, which are pretty annoying) in here,
but the prizes are well worth it. You can pick up the SHIELD ROD and a $1000
bag at the end of this room. When you acquire you SHIELD ROD, equip a
shield(if you didn't already have one) and press the "Circle" and "Square"
button at the same time, this will create a special effect for Alucard which
can give him special attributes for a limited amount of time, this does take
up MP though(but your MP refills gradually on its own anyways) but if you
combine it with the right shield, the effects can be devastating, that is for
your opponent.
Now continue towards the fight and destroy the monsters, there is an Owl
Knight who is pretty tough but if you destroy the eagle you can attack him as
he looks over his fallen owl(Awwww! How cute! Oh well, his loss). This makes
killing the Owl Knight MUCH easier to kill. Now continue towards the right
side and you will find a room with a Grave Keeper. Kill him and pick up the
GREEN TEA. Now head back to the left and go up(you can save your game if you
wish) back to the Royal Chapel.
=============================================================================
RETURN TO THE ROYAL CHAPEL
Alucard's level: 23
Items: None
Monsters: *See monsters for Royal Chapel*
=============================================================================
If you go back to the confession room and sit on the chair, the people will
cover the themselves and try to attack you, the damage isn't anything to
worry about, but its just optional if you want to see it. Now make your way
up through the bell towers and back to the Castle Keep.
Now in here, keep going to the right until you reach the key hole room. In
here head to the Outer Wall(the symbol should look like a snake or
catipillar) and then head back to the Long Library. It should be below from
the door you came from(hit select and check your map).
=============================================================================
NEW DISCOVERIES LIE UNBOUND IN THE LONG LIBRARY
Alucard's level: 23
Items: Holy Rod, Stone Mask, Topaz Circlet, Frankfurter, Takemitsu, Onyx,
Faerie Card, Antivenom, Potion, Life Max
Monsters: *look up monsters for Long Library*
=============================================================================
Now head back up and go the same route you did when you went to the old
Librarian(go up then upleft) but instead of going to the old Librarian, use
your not so newly acquired double jump to reach the other platforms above the
old Librarian route, well actually you can only reach the middle route, and
when you reach here. Save your game and continue to the left. Make your way
past this room and continue onto the next room, which is pretty large. When
you enter here, destroy the enemies and then you reach farther up, double
jump and then use the Mist transformation to give yourself a slight boost to
reach the top.
Now go to the top right and inside pick up the STONE MASK and equip it if you
like. Now keep going to the right and push the library shelf and pick up the
TOPAZ CIRCLET and the HOLY ROD. The HOLY ROD is weaker than the SHIELD ROD,
but it can attack MUCH quicker. The choice is up to you, now head back
outside and before you head to the bottom try to cover all the missing
squares in this room(look on your map, you should see white lines marked
around the blue box). When you reach down here, you will encounter a tough
boss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Lesser Demon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle shouldn't be tough actually, it will be tough if you allow it to
let out too many monsters. Just jump up and keep attacking the lesser demon,
he will create a portal which will release a monster of any kind, but
basically jump up and keep attacking the Lesser Demon. Attack him until he's
gone.
After the battle pick up the LIFE MAX and continue onwards to the left. When
you destroy the statue heads pick up the TAKEMITSU, ONYX gem, and the
FRANKFURTER. Now use your Mist to get through the gate and pick up the SOUL
OF BAT, and now head out and save your game. Now head out to the right and
then head to the top via the SOUL OF BAT and into the next room, and pick up
the ANITVENOM, POTION, and the FAERIE CARD relic. You should turn on the
FAERIE CARD, then head back to the OUTER WALL.
=============================================================================
RETURN TO ORLOX'S QUARTER'S VIA THE OUTER WALL
Alucard's Level: 24
Items: Iron Ball, Estoc, Resist Fire, Luck Potion, Manna Prism, Life Max,
Echo of Bat, Heart Max, Garnett Gem, Sword Card
Monsters: Spectral Sword, Poltergeist, Hammer, Blade, Orlox, Armor Lord,
Bloody Zombie
=============================================================================
Head up and go back to the room with the key hole(you can check your map, its
the yellow dot). Reach Orlox Quarters using the keyhole, the symbol should be
a goat at the top. Go left and then head upwards using your bat to reach the
LONG VERTICAL passage. Along the way you can pick up the MANNA PRISM, RESIST
FIRE, and LUCK POTION. When you reach this room, keep going left, you will
also notice prison guards that come up and want out, but this has no effect
on the game whatsoever. When you reach the end, destroy the vase to pick up
the ESTOC sword.
This sword will boost your attack by 14(on both hands) but will decrease your
defense down by 5. Its up two you, personally I would keep what you have
right now. Then continue onwards down. In here you will be in Orlox's
courtyard(as I would like to call it) and continue onwards to the left until
you reach a small room with an IRON BALL. And also, you must use your Wolf or
your bat you get through. When you reach upon this room, a boss fight will
start.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Orlox
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Orlox will be sitting on the chair, take this time to get a few cheap shots
in(hehehe). This battle shouldn't be tough, keep attacking him and attack the
little enemies he tries to throw at you(you can get some EXP by destroying
them). After you damage him enough he will turn into a bigger and badder
Orlox. He doesn't even do much damage in this form, you can EASILY trade hits
with him and still end up winning with enough life leftover for another
Orlox. He does have a lot of HP though, but other than that, he should be
pretty easy to destroy.
After the battle pick up the LIFE MAX and use your bat to fly to the top left
and then pick up the ECHO OF BAT to the left. Then head back to the
Courtyard. Now head to the middle right of the courtyard(you will need your
bat) and go through to the right path, you should find a GARNETT gem. Then
head to the left path in the courtyard. Keep going to the left to pick up the
HEART MAX and then continue on, now when you reach the stone bridge, hit the
ceiling that is to the far left of the stone bridge. In here is the SWORD
CARD, just switch to the Sword familiar(it will help in a big way later on)
and then continue back down and to the left.
=============================================================================
RE-VISIT A LA THE ROYAL CHAPEL
Alucard's level: 25
Items: Morningstar, Mystic Pendant, Ankh of Life
Monsters: *check monsters for Royal Chapel*
=============================================================================
When you reach here, destroy the little golden statue to let you through. Now
head back to the long golden stairway and use your double jump to reach the
top and pick up the MORNINGSTAR. In the long stairway there were to vases
that you wouldn't reach, now you can with your bat. The first vase contains
nothing while the second vase contains an ANKH OF LIFE, equip it and the
third vase contains a MYSTIC PENDANT, equip that as well and you can save
your game if you like. Then go back to the Alchmey Lab.
=============================================================================
RETURN ONCE AGAIN TO THE ALCHEMY LAB
Alucard's level: 25
Items: Heart Max, Skill of Wolf
Monsters: *check monsters for Alchemy Lab*
=============================================================================
Now when you reach here, go back to your first boss room(head past the blue
door and then go to the upper right) and use your bat to fly across and pick
up the BAT CARD relic. Its up to you if you want the BAT over the SWORD
familiar, using the bat more often is more beneficial when you become a bat,
but the SWORD can be used as a weapon later on. Now go back to the vertical
hallway(the 3rd hallway before the large boss room) and break the wall to the
left and pick up the HEART MAX, then head to the right. In here you will
notice the path that you couldn't reach earlier, use your bat to fly up and
then go to the right and pick up the SKILL OF WOLF. Then head back to the
begining of the game(The Entry Hall).
=============================================================================
RETURN TO THE ENTRY HALL
Alucard's level: 25
Items: Life Max(2), Power of Wolf, Pot Roast, Heart Max, Holy Mail
Monsters: *check monsters for Entry Hall*
=============================================================================
When you reach the room with the Bloody Zombies, go to the far right and use
your bat to reach the middle path and collect the LIFE MAX. Then head back to
the place where you had met Death(you can just drop down), then to the left
is a room where you can pick up a HEART MAX. Now go back to the near
beginning of the game in the room where all the Mermans jump up, there is a
stone wall that you broke earlier to collect the POT ROAST, go through the
left side as a Bat until you reach the end, and then transform into a Wolf
and go back to the other end. The path to the bottom left will open up for
you, go inside the room and collect the items and then head out and from the
water and use that bat to move up to the left opening in the ceiling.
Now continue through to the left(watch out though, there are some tough
enemies here) until you reach a save point. Save your game and then continue
on through. At the top you can pick up the HOLY MAIL and return to the
entrance gate. Use your bat to fly up to the top and pick up the LIFE MAX and
the POWER OF WOLF. Now return back to the place where there were Mermans
jumping through the water, go take the bottom right and back to the
Underground Caverns.

Monsters: *check monsters for Underground Caverns*
=============================================================================
In here head back to the waterfall(to the right of the Ferryman) and head to
the right past the flow of the waterfall and destroy the Frozen Shade and
pick up the LIFE MAX. Now head back to the waterfall and pick up the SHITAKE
and the TOADSTOOL and use your bat to go to the upper left. In this room hit
the switch to the left and an Ape Skeleton will throw the dynamite barrel and
cause the bridge to explode and a message will say: "SOMETHING WILL APPEAR
NEAR THE WOODEN BRIDGE" so pick up the HERALD SHIELD and go back to the right
over the waterfall(you should remember a bridge that you were standing on
when you had first got here) and also in the waterfall, I forgot to tell you,
behind the waterfall are SECRET BOOTs, but the only thing they do is increase
your height! Seriously!
Now head to the top right and past the wooden bridge, then re-enter that room
(because you destroyed the Ape Skeleton earlier when you came in here) and
then move towards the left destroying all frogs until you see the Ape
Skeleton FROM A DISTANCE. don't let him throw that barrel at you until he
reaches the wooden bridge, then let him throw the barrel at the wooden bridge
and pick up the LIFE MAX and the HEART MAX and then enter the Catacombs.
=============================================================================
JOURNEY THROUGH THE ABANDONED MINES
Alucard's level: 25
Items: Life Max, Demon Card, Peanuts, Barley Tea, Karma Coin, Power of Sire,
Combat Knife, Ring of Ares
Monsters: Thornweed, Corpseweed, Venus Weed, Salem Witch, Cerberos, Gremlin
=============================================================================
Now when you reach here head all the way down and then save your game. And
then head upwards through that giant opening mouth and continue through and
expect a boss battle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Cerberos
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle will be pretty easy. If you have the Holy Water in your
possession, you can just keep throwing them at Cerberos from the ledge and
call it a day. You can also you your HERALD SHIELD and SHIELD ROD in this
battle(Square and Circle at the same time) to protect yourself from fire
damage. Your Bat or Sword familiars will help out as well, this battle is
just simply too easy to win, just keep attacking and use the platforms or
ledges to avoid its fire attack.
After the battle pick up the LIFE MAX and continue onwards to the right. Now
drop down and take the left to pick up the DEMON CARD relic, now TURN ON THE
DEMON CARD relic and return back to the top of the vertical shaft in which
you came through. You noticed that there was a switch that you couldn't get
through, at the top right of the vertical shaft the Demon will press the
switch and open the blocaded door and you can travel through. Keep going to
the right but watch for a Venus Weed, its tough to kill and you will have to
be careful.
After destroying her, continue to the right. In this next room pick up the
RING OF ARES, this ring will increase your strength by 24 and your attack
power by 24, however it drops your already low defense by 24, I'd just stick
with what you have right now. Now hit the wall to the left and it will break
apart and enter through and pick up four PEANUTS, BARLEY TEA, and the POWER
OF SIRE. Then head out and then back up and back to the long vertical shaft.
Then drop down to the next level, you will see three passages to the right,
left, and down, take the down path and continue to drop down below the
vertical shaft. In here pick up two SHITAKE mushrooms, when you reach the
bottom of this shaft, take the left path and pick up the KARMA COIN and the
COMBAT KNIFE and head back out and to the right. Continue through down to the
next area.
Now when you reach down here, save your game at the left door. Then continue
to the right and pick up the BLOODSTONE, THEN HIT THE WALL TO the left. It
will reveal a CAT-EYE CIRCL.(full name: CAT-EYE Circlet, boy real hard to
figure out (^_^)) this circlet is one of the rarest items in the game and
people have a hard time finding this? Now continue past the save room and to
the right and then in the next room go downward to the left. In here you will
see a lot of old caskets, 3 of the contain a MONSTER VIAL while the other
three contain Blood Skeletons.
Keep going to the left and pick up a HEART MAX and a LIFE MAX and continue
onward. You will encounter a few tough enemies so be prepared. Eventually you
will start to see a Lava Pit of some sorts, in the room when you see a Discus
Lord, destroy him by getting close and ducking under his weapon. Then head
upwards suing your bat and destroy the vases to pick up a BALLROOM MASK, and
a HEART MAX, then go to the left and destroy the wall and pick up the ICE
BRAND sword. Now head back down and to the left until you get out of the lava
pits.
In this room destroy the Gremlins, the room to the left contains nothing, but
you should enter it anyways to add to your percentage. Now head out and take
the top right into a save room and save your game and continue to the right
and pick up the WALK MAIL, if you had followed this walkthrough, the WALK
MAIL should give you stronger defense. If not then follow the rest of the
first half of this walkthrough and go back and see what you have missed. Now
head out of the save room and keep going left and you will eventually
encounter a boss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Granfaloon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man this is one fugly monster(yes I meant fugly, combined the four letter
word with ugly and that's what you get). It will rise out of the middle of
the room so watch out. This battle WILL BE TOUGH, call out your Bat or Sword
familiar to help you out in the fight. Keep attacking the Granfaloon and
destroy its little monsters that it drops, and he usually drops about 20 at a
time(your Bat will WORK VERY EFFECTIVELY AND WONDERFULLY IN TAKING OUT THESE
LITTLE MONSTERS). You will have to attack 8 parts of Granfaloon, keep
attacking one portion until it gets destroyed. Also watch out for the
tentacles when you destroy the parts of Granfaloon, it will fire a rather
powerful beam at you. Your Axe or your Bible works GREAT in this battle. You
don't have to destroy all the parts to Granfaloon, when the middle tentacles
open up, attack the center constantly and when it dies, the rest should fall
with it.
After the battle pick up a LIFE MAX and then continue to the bottom left. In
here go up and to the top right and inside pick up the MORMEGIL sword. The go
back down and go past the boss room and back past the lava pits. Now when you
get pass the old caskets room, keep going to the right until you see a room
with Slimes and Large Slimes(they can only be harmed by the Bible or the ICE
BRAND sword. Now head top right and you will see a dark room ahead, DO NOT
ADVANCE FURTHER YET. First initiate your Bat transform, and then press
"Triangle" to create a light beacon to see your way across.
After you have made your way through step on the platform to finally hit the
switch to reveal the light in this room. Now continue onwards to the right
until you see four vases, they contain 2 CROSS SHURIKENs and two KARMA COINs.
Then drop down below and continue towards the left into the next room. In
this room pick up the SPIKE BREAKER armor and then head back out and into the
spike room, if you were your SPIKE BREAKER armor in this room, you can break
the spikes but the SPIKE BREAKER drops your overall defense down, use the
SPIKE BREAKER to get through this room without any hassle and continue onward
pass the room with the Slimes. In the next romm take the upper left and then
head out of the Catacombs.
=============================================================================

here). When you reach here, use your bat and reach the top right, you will
see a path that you couldn't reach to earlier. In here, continue to the right
until you reach the vase, destroy it and it will reveal a CLAYMORE sword.
Then continue on downwards and go through the bottom right. In here 4 vases
will contain a MEAL TICKET and the last vase will contain a MOONSTONE. Now go
to the left and then save your game, afterwards, head to the right and
continue through until you see a purple and black colored save icon.
Press up on it and it will bring you to another location, this is the
Nightmare stage, and you cannot see it on the map. Here Alucard meets with
his mother, Lisa. She is tied to a cross and she will gladly surrender her
life for the saving of others, before she dies she wants Alucard to remember
her last words, she wants Alucard to despise humans, but after overdoing it,
Alucard finally figures out that her mother is not on that cross. Then enter
Succubus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Succubus
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle is pretty easy, just jump up and keep attacking her. You can
easily avoid her attack. Even if it does connect it does pathetic damage
anyways.
After the battle Succubus finally figures out that he is the son of Dracula.
However, Alucard leaves her to her fate, he then is transported back out of
his own Nightmare and to the side of him is a GOLD RING. Pick it up and then
head out of this small secluded area and then head downwards and then
continue to the left. Keep going left until you reach the area where you see
the Ferryman, in this area take the upwards opening and then continue back to

Spectral Sword, then take the top right and keep going until you reach the
bell tower. When you reach the bell tower go all the way up and into the room
you saw earlier with all the spikes. Put on your Spike Buster Armor and then
continue onwards. You will eventually meet up with Maria(one question for
Konami, how the **** did she get in here?), you found a Belmont but he's the
lord of this castle, she can't believe what your saying and then leaves.
Behind her lays the SILVER RING, pick it up and then continue onwards out of

In here WEAR YOUR GOLD AND SILVER RINGs, they will open up the bottom path.
First take the upper path and go upwards using your bat. When you reach up
here to the right is the GRAVITY BOOTS relic, which will allow you to
perform those super jumps like Richter can. To the left is a POTION, HAMMER,
and a LIFE APPLE for your fairy to use whenever she needs it. Now just drop
back straight down, you will land on the black lift, to the right is a LIFE
MAX and a HEART MAX, and to the left is a save room. It isn't neccessary to
save though.
Then when your done head down via the black lift. Meet up with Maria(once
again, how did she get here? Is she some kind of genie?), she will have found
out the Richter has joined forces with the enemy and tells you not to harm
Richter. She gives you the HOLY GLASSES, they will help see through evil
illusions. Also notice how the room she's in is upside down, hmmmm... how
odd. Oh well, head out of here and back up to the right and continue back to
the Outer Wall.
=============================================================================
REVISIT TO THE OUTER WALL
Alucard's level: 28
Items: None
Monsters: *Refer to Outer Wall section atop*
=============================================================================
Now from here, go back to the key hole and back to the Castle Keep. You
should only have to enter the key hole once to get there.
=============================================================================
THE BATTLE WITH RICHTER AWAITS
Alucard's level: 28
Items: Ghost Card, Life Max(2), Heart Max(2), Resist Dark, Resist Holy, Pot
Roast, Turkey, Sirloin, Resist Stone, Frankfurter, Platinum Mail
Monsters: Flea Rider, Axe Knight, Richter, Shaft
=============================================================================
When you reach here use your super jump(D,U+X) and make your way outside and
when you reach outside, use your bat or your super jump to reach the upper
right room. Inside this room contains 2 LIFE MAXs, and 2 HEART MAXs, and to
the bottom right contains a GHOST CARD relic, its your last familiar that you
find. Then head back outside and reach the left side and keep going left
until you reach that other portion of the red staircase. Also when you reach
here, look upwards and enter the staircase at the top(you will have to switch
the switch to the right of the staircase, you will have to break the small
wall), then pick up the following:
FRANKFURTER, POT ROAST, TURKEY, SIRLOIN, RESIST STONE, RESIST DARK, RESIST
HOLY, and PLATINUM MAIL.
Keep going and you will eventually find Richter Belmont, whom you will have
to defeat. It appears that he wants the battle between the Belmonts and
Dracula to last for an eternity.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Richter/Shaft(w/HOLY GLASSES)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle will be tough, he will use his "supers" often, the Holy Cross
super YOU MUST WATCH OUT FOR and stay as far away from him as you can. But
FIRST, put on your Holy Glasses(however you can leave them off and kill
Richter to see one of two endings) and attack that moving green sphere. And
notice that the music sounds a little familiar(its a remix of the first stage
tune from Castlevania: Dracula X). Keep attack Richter and use your Sword
familiar for help, stay away from him when he powers up and then attack him.
After the battle:
You destroyed Shaft: Shaft brings himself together and brings another
castle out of the sky and leaves for that castle. Afterwards, you will
notice(or hear) that Alucard was the one who fought alongside Trevor
Belmont(remember Castlevania II for the NES?). However, Alucard tells
Maria to take Richter out of here as we will settle this alone.
You destroyed Richter: You will see one of two endings, depending on your
overall percentage. And you will hear one of the best songs ever:
"I am the Wind."
When you destroy Shaft, you should have these relics:
-------------------------------------
| Soul of Bat | (blank) |
| Echo of Bat | (blank) |
| Soul of Wolf | Power of Wolf |
| Skill of Wolf | Form of Mist |
| (blank) | (blank) |
| Cube of Zoe | Spirit Orb |
| Gravity Boots | Leap Stone |
| Holy Symbol | Faerie Scroll |
| Jewel of Open | Merman Statue |
| Bat Card | Ghost Card |
| Faerie Card | Demon Card |
| Sword Card | (blank) |
| (blank) | (blank) |
| (blank) | (blank) |
-------------------------------------
However, if you are missing a relic, its really not important. Mainly you
don't need the SWORD CARD, FAERIE CARD, GHOST CARD, DEMON CARD, BAT CARD,
GRAVITY BOOTS, and the HOLY SYMBOL. Other than that you should be fine. Now
embark your journey to the Inverted Castle.
NOTE: You can enter the regular castle at anytime, you just have to press
up over the portal in the Reverse/Castle keep. Or you can use your
LIBRARY CARD, which will transport you over directly to the old
Librarian.
=============================================================================
------------------- [ Beginning of the Inverted Castle ] --------------------
=============================================================================
Alucard's level should still be at 28 or 29, anything around that level. Now
when you arrive at the Inverted Castle(and yes, it is a separate castle and
note that even though its the exact same design as before, it still is A LOT
more different than you had expected). Now continue towards the left and keep
going and then go back to the staircase that you went to just prior to
defeating Shaft, down here grab the HEART MAX, LIFE MAX, HEART MAX, ROYAL
CLOAK, LIFE MAX, HEART MAX, LIFE MAX, and yes BASTARD SWORD. Then head back
up and keep going to the left and into the room you got the GHOST CARD in, in
here pick up the RESIST FIRE, HIGH POTION, RESIST ICE, RESIST STONE, and
RESIST THUNDER.
Now head outside to the Reverse Keep area and go around the middle to the
right(using your bat or super jump) and knock down the wall on the right and
pick up the IRON BALL that is behind the wall. Then head to the left and take
the bottom doorway which leads to the brown lifts. In here go to the left and
drop down and go to the left and pick up the LIBRARY CARD. Then go back up
and take the next available left to save your game. After you have saved your
game, go upwards to the door on the left and enter through, you will reach
the Clock Tower.
=============================================================================
REVERSE TOWER
Alucard's Level: 28
Items: TNT, Bwaka Knife, TNT, Life Max, Heart Max, Moon Rod, Shuriken,
Ring of Vlad, Diamond Gem, Sunstone, Life Apple, Karma Coin, Luminus
Sword, Smart Potion, Strength Potion, Dragon Helmet, MagicMissile
Monsters: Darkwing Bat, Medusa Head, Cloaked Knight, Vahalla Knight, Bomb
Knight
=============================================================================
IMMEDIATELY when you reach here, you are attacked by a boss so be prepared
and arm yourself!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Darkwing Bat
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be careful in this battle. Get a few cheap shots in before it starts to
attack. When it attacks, it will blow a gust with its wings, to avoid this
stay directly below him and keep and if you have an Axe you can use it
against him while you are under him. Then when he stops the gust, go towards
him and jump and slash, then repeat.
After the battle you will recieve the RING OF VLAD relic and then continue
onwards to the left. Now in here destroy the walls and pick up a SHURIKEN,
BWAKA KNIFE, and TNT. Now head to the next room and take the top right and
destroy the wall, in here is a MOON ROD and then go back outside and keep
going to the left. You will eventually reach the Clock Tower, hack the wall
on the right and make your way through to the bottom and pick up a HEART MAX
and a LIFE MAX. Note that in this room, each time you move a new Cloaked
Knight will appear.
Now head back outside and remember those gears you had to keep on hitting?
Well do it again, but this time it will be MUCH HARDER to do that before
since you have to jump higher and a lot more interference comes your way.
Then take the top left and hit the gears in that rooms again, once again you
should hear a click. Once you hear a click DON'T HIT THE GEAR ANYMORE. Once
all four gears are hit, go back to the right and the room should be open at
the upper right part of the room. Inside is a DIAMOND gem(most valuable),
LIFE APPLE, and the SUNSTONE.
Equip the SUNSTONE and move on to the left and continue on until you see the
Clock Tower courtyard with the Vahalla Knights. Now keep going to the left
until you reach the room with the DRAGON HELM. In this very courtyard there
is also a KARMA COIN and a MAGIC MISSILE at the top middle of this area, in
the middle of the Clock Tower courtyard there is a STRENGTH POTION, LUMINUS
sword and a SMART POTION. Now keep going left until you see a doorway, enter
through and take the door on the left which will lead to the Reverse Wall.
=============================================================================
REVERSE WALL
Alucard's level: 29
Items: None
Monsters: Stone Skull, Paranthropus, Jack O' Bones, Nova Skeleton, The
Creature
=============================================================================
In here go down and save your game, then head out and keep going upwards. The
door above the Clock Tower door leads to a key hole, enter it and then come
back out to the Reverse Wall. Keep going up until you see the next door,
which will lead to the Reverse Library.
The lightning in this place has changed and so has the enemies, but I really
like the music though(its the same as the Reverse Chapel). Keep going to the
right until you reach the book shelf. You will also notice that the Librarian
is gone, but destroy the statues and pick up the LIBRARY CARD, OPAL gem, and
TURQUOISE gem. Now keep going to the left until you see the main Library
hall, from here go down and take the right path which will lead to a save
room. Then after saving your game, you should then keep going to the right.
From here going right and drop down and go to the bottom left and pick up a
NEUTRON BOMB and move the library shelf and pick up the BADELAIRE.
Then continue and go upwards, but the enemies are strong here though, and
keep going and pick up the STAUROLITE. Now return back outside past the save
room and when you reach the main Library Hall, go down and then pick up a
RESIST FIRE, RESIST ICE, and RESIST STONE. Then keep going to the left,
although there isn't anything to the left, it still can help out your overall
percentage a bit. Now take the top left path and keep going upwards. NOTE:
The Lion may sometimes drop a GAUNTLET, it all depends on your overall luck.
Now keep going until you exit out of the Reverse Library and into the Reverse
Wall again.
Okay I admit it, there wasn't much to do in there besides add to your
percentage, but you must admit that it was worth it since you did gain a few
levels rather quickly. Now keep going upwards, you will eventually find a
path along the right side. Now enter through here and get ready for a boss
fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: The Creature
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Woh! Call Bill Nye because his son is missing! Okay okay, enough with the
dumb jokes. In this battle just basically keep hitting him, and then attack
him as he rolls over to a corner, jump over him each time he does his rolling
attack. And attack him when he stops at the corners, then repeat and wham,
your done.
After the battle pick up the TOOTH OF VLAD relic and then continue onwards to
the right and at the top right, go ahead and save your game. Now head out to
the left and keep going to the left and then go upwards. You will see a vase
upwards to the left, destroy it for a LIFE MAX(there was also a LUCK POTION
on the vase below). Now keep going upwards, just ignore the door for now, and
then take the next available right path into the small room, hit the top
right wall for a DIM SUM SET. Now head out and then use your bat to reach the
top right gate and then into a mist. In this room there is a SHOTEL and a
MAGIC HAMMER, now head out and explore the rest of the Outer Wall(to fill up
your %) and pick up a HEART MAX along the way. After that head back down and
take the next brown door on the right, which will lead to the Marble Gallery.
=============================================================================
REVERSE MARBLE GALLERY
Alucard's level: 34
Items: None
Monsters: Stone Skull, Gorgon, Nova Skeleton, Blade, Medusa Head, Jack O'
Bones, Blade, Gurkha, Guardian, Corpseweed
=============================================================================
Your level should be this high, destroying the Nova Skeletons you saw earlier
gave you about 500 EXP a piece! Its going to be pretty easy gaining levels
here in the Inverted Castle. Now keep going to the right past the long
hallway(notice that the eyeball does not follow you), and when you reach the
Reverse Gallery, WATCH THE FLOOR BELOW! The weren't in the regular castle but
they are in this one, those little rolling spikes, they come out pretty fast
and are at basically every gap in here. Now keep going to the right and then
take the bottom right path. Keep going to the bottom right path and then when
you see an opening at the top(which will lead to the Reverse Caverns), enter
through and continue on.
=============================================================================
REVERSE CAVERN
Alucard's level: 35
Items: Opal Gem, Heart Max, Life Max, Diamond Gem, Meal Ticket(5), Force
of Echo, Peanut, Dark Blade
Monsters: Imp, Doppleganger(40), Blue Venus Weed, Cave Troll, Nova Skeleton,
Rock Knight, Killer Fish, Dark Octopus
=============================================================================
When you reach here, go to the top left to save your game, and then head out
and go straight to the right until you reach a LIFE MAX. And like before,
destroy the wall to the right and enter the next room to pick up a DIAMOND
gem. Now head back out and then take the upper path that you saw earlier, in
here head straight up. But try to avoid destroying the Balloon Pods, it will
release its spores when you do and if you touch those spores it will poison
you. Then take the next available right into an area which will lead to an
OPAL gem. Now head out and keep going out, you should eventually reach the
Caverns, now head to the left and then drop straight down and head to the
room to the left(its basically the Reverse Nightmare room) until you reach a
vase which contains a HEART MAX.
Keep going upwards and watch for the Balloon Pods, then in this next room to
the top left there are 5 vases. ALL OF THEM CONTAIN MEAL TICKETs, and then
head to the Nightmare save room to the top left, inside contains PEANUTs and
outside to the right is a save room. Now head out of this Nightmare area and
then go straight up the vertical shaft and take the next available left,
which will lead to a save point. Now head out and go straight up until you
see the ice platform, destroy the top wall to the top right and it should
break apart and lead to the next room.
In this room go up and keep going to the left(watch out for the Cave Trolls
and the Blue Venus Weed) until you get the relic FORCE OF ECHO. Now head out
of here and back into the unfrozen Caverns and take the next left. Also when
you reach here you will have another boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Doppleganger40
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This boss battle will be tougher, try to avoid his weapon at all costs, it
will poison you. This battle is still pretty easy, jump and attack him. Also
when you use your Holy Cross(assuming you have it), he will turn into a mist,
and he will avoid all damage until the last hit. You should jump and hit him,
and jump back and then jump at him. You should either duck or jump when he
turns into a bat, otherwise it can take away a good portion of your life if
you get hit.
After the battle pick up the HEART MAX and continue onwards to the left. Now
when you reach here, drop to the bottom AS A BAT, otherwise you will have a
swarm of Dark Octopus to deal with. Take the right path until you pick up a
DARK BLADE, now head out of here past your last boss room and onto the save
point that you had saw last. Save your game and then head to the right, watch
for the Rock Knight and Blue Venus weed though you may want to use your Wolf
to help you get across. Keep going to the left and once you past the first
Blue Venus Weed room, take the top route to the Underground Mines.
=============================================================================
REVERSE MINES

Items: Eye of Vlad, Alucard Sword, Power of Sire(2), Life Apple, Green Tea
Monsters: Bat, Slorga, Gaibon, Thornweed, Death
=============================================================================
In here take the path upwards and save your game at the very top left of this
room. You will also meet a familiar foe, in the name of Gaibon. At the top
left you should save your game, and then head towards the giant opening mouth
and you will see Slorga again, in the next room you will meet Death.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Death
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle isn't too hard, watch for the sickles that come out of nowhere,
but they are pretty easy to avoid. Keep jumping up and attacking him, after
you destroy his first form his second form will appear. Attack him and avoid
the giant sickles that he throws, this time he doesn't have nearly as much
HP. Keep attacking him and avoid the sickles and that should be it.
After the battle pick up the EYE OF VLAD relic. Now before you head into the
next room, turn on your DEMON CARD relic. In the next room the Demon will
press the switch and open up the way for you. Take the left and keep going to
the left. Eventually you will meet a room with Gaibons, destroy them and at
the top right destroy the wall for a GREEN TEA and destroy it even more for
the POWER OF SIRE and a LIFE APPLE. Now head out of here and to the vertical
room, from here keep going upwards and into the next area. Now take the top
left and pick up the ALUCARD SWORD, which is the real deal and you should
equip it. After that head to the straight left until you reach the key hole
room, just enter the room but don't enter the key hole yet. Now head back to
the Reverse Mines and then go upwards to the next area. In here take the top
right to collect the POWER OF SIRE and then take the left to the Reverse
Catacombs.

=============================================================================
When you reach here, take the top right into the save room, save your game
and then keep going to the right until you reach the MAGIC MISSILE. Then head
back out past the save room and to the left past the witches. When you reach
this room go upwards to the right and then keep going to the right. You will
eventually reach the ice pits, which was once the Lava pits in the last
castle. Keep going until you can drop down, when you drop down pick up the
NECKLACE OF J. Now return outside back up to the ice pits and keep going to
the right.
Watch out when you destroy the Frozen Half its nothing major but it really
causes a lot of slowdown(^_^). Now just keep going to the right until you
reach a room with $1. Then head out of that room and drop down and take the
left which will lead to a DIAMOND gem and a save room, SAVE YOUR GAME now.
Afterwards keep going to the right until you reach, quite possibly the
toughest opponent in the game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Galamoth HP: 9999 EXP: 9999
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
DANG! This mother is huge! He fills up two screens! Don't let his size fool
you, because the bigger they are the harder they fall(hopefully). This is
true because it will be HARD to make him fall. If you so happen to have the
ALUCARD SHIELD and the SHIELD ROD do that special power up(Square+Circle) and
extend your shield and just touch him, it will drain away all of his HP in a
matter of seconds giving you an easy victory. However, if you did follow this
walkthrough, then you don't have the ALUCARD SHIELD and thus the battle will
be made tougher. Attack him constantly and stay away from the lighting balls
that he throws at you. HOWEVER, I have a FLAWLESS tip that will score you a
long, but very easy victory. Equip your ALUCARD SWORD if you had not already
done so, then do the mirror slash (D,DF,F+Attack button) CONSTANTLY. If you
can maintain a rythmn you WILL NOT BE HARMED AT ALL. When you run out of
MPs(yes he does have this much HP), head to the top left platform and just
avoid his attacks as your MPs start to regain themselves. Then repeat, its
very important that you stay on the left side of the room don't try to get
around him.
After the battle pick up the LIFE MAX, then take the upper right and pick up
the LIFE MAX and HEART MAX. Then continue on and go to the bottom and pick up
the RUBY CIRCLET and GAS CLOUD relic. Then head out and back past the boss
room and save your game. Then head out and go back up to the top left and
keep going left until you reach the room with a bunch of bats. From here take
the upper left and keep going until you reach the room with the Frozen Half
and Salome. Then take the bottom left which leads to the familiar spike room,
equip your SPIKE BREAKER and continue onwards.
In this next room keep going left and destroy the vases and pick up two KARMA
COINs, a RESIST FIRE, and a RESIST THUNDER. Then go to the upper right until
the end and pick up an ELIXIR. Now for fun, turn into a wolf and keep running
left, it will knock out all those Blood Skeletons. Now head down and head out
of the Reverse Catacombs and back to the Reverse Caverns.
=============================================================================
RETURN TO THE REVERSE CAVERNS VIA REVERSE MINES
Alucard's level: 45
Items: Osafune Katana, Alucard Shield

down and head back to the Reverse Caverns. When you reach here, drop down and
keep going to the right and pick up the item at the end and then fly up the
waterfall to the top left and inside pick up the OSAFUNE KATANA. Then head
out and continue to the right and pick up the ALUCARD SHIELD. Now continue

When you reach here go forward to the right. Go to the top and then destroy
the blocks at the top. Now go through as a Bat on right side and then when
you reach the end transform into a Wolf and go back to the other end. Now the
path to the top right will be open, inside this room contains a ZIRCON gem,
OPAL gem, and BERYL CIRCLET. Now drop down to the bottom right and continue
to the right until you reach a save room. Save your game and then continue to
the bottom right doorway and pick up the FIRE BOOMERANG. Now head back up and
to the left and out of this small area and return to the room where you had
to transform.
In this room take the right path that leads to the reverse begining of the
game. When you see a giant bone snake, kill the Flea Man that is riding it
and the Ouroboros will be on your side, just like a regular familiar. However
it can be used for one room and one room only(which sucks, but its pretty
awesome having two Ouroboros and a Sword familar helping you out). Now head
to the right and drop to the bottom and pick up an ANTIVENOM and a HAMMER.
Now head back to the main room(where you had to turn into a wolf and bat) and
take the bottom left path. Now keep going left until you reach the reverse
room of where you had met Death earlier.

and save your game. Then head up to the right and prepare for a boss battle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Beezlebub(a.k.a Lord of the Flies)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle will be so friggin easy its not even funny. Use your SHIELD ROD
and your ALUCARD SHIELD and then do that shield magic(Square+Circle) and
after that, hold out your shield to Beezlebub, you can jump up and just hold
your shield out and zap its life away in a flurry. However, you can use your
Holy Cross and call it a day(like I did (^_^)). Not to hard, but watch for
the little bugs on the floor, you can barely see them, as they will poison
you.
After the battle pick up the LIFE MAX and head to the left and into the room

when yo reach the room with the Spectral Sword, take the top left door which
leads to the Reverse Colloseum.
When you reach here defeat the Minotaurs(one of the regular castles' bosses,
now a joke). Then keep heading to the left and take the top left to another
boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Fake Sylph, Fake Grant, Fake Trevor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle won't be easy, but you should be able to win. Don't focus on one
target, there are too many distractions. Hit all targets and duck under the
flying sharp object from Trevor and attack him. Hit Grant off of the ceiling,
then hit him continuously and he should die, then attack Trevor continously
as you back him into the corner, he should die, then attack the Fake Sylph
from the air and she should die.
After the battle pick up the LIFE MAX and continue to the left. Now head
straight up and to the next available right, in here you will fight
off against a lot of Minotaurs and Werewolves, you may have to take a few
hits, but you should be able to destroy them. After that keep going right
until you reach a save room. From here, head to the top and to the right,
pick up the ZIRCON gem and the $1000 bag and head out.
Now take the top left path, but watch for the Skull Dragon. Keep heading to
the left until you reach a room with the BUFFALO STAR. Then head back to the
first vertical drop and take the next bottom left, you will have to encounter
Minotaurs and Werewolves again. Keep heading to the left and don't drop down
or go up. As you keep going to the left you should find 2 HEART MAXs and one

take the door to the keyhole but do not enter it. Now head back out to the
room with the long drop and take that long drop down, but keep to the right
side of the wall to collect the SHIELD POTION, LUCK POTION, and MANNA PRISM.
Then continue on downwards and equip your SPIKE BREAKER armor and walk
through to the end and destroy the vase for an AQUAMARINE gem. Then head
upwards and continue onwards to the right, you can destroy the Karaman if you
like(the Clock Tower boss) but it really slows the screen down if you destroy
him. Keep going right, eventually you will find a SHURIKEN and a boss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Akmodan II
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this legal? This boss is even easier than the first boss of the game! Just
get near him and slash constantly, watch out for his gas cloud, it will
poison you. Basically your Sword familiar will easily defeat it on its own,
but you can help as well.
After the battle pick up the RIB OF VLAD relic and then continue onwards to
the right. Pick up the HEART MAX and return to the Reverse Wing Lair
Courtyard and take the upper left to an open doorway, it should lead to
ALUCARD'S MAIL. Now head out back to the courtyard and take the upper right

After the battle pick up the HEART OF VLAD and continue towards the left.
When you reach the 3rd Bell Tower, pick up the BWAKA KNIFE at the bottom as
well as the MAGIC MISSILE from the vase, then continue to the left.
=============================================================================
RETURN TO THE REVERSE KEEP
Alucard's level: 47
Items: None
Monsters: *refer to Reverse Keep*
=============================================================================
When you reach here, use your Wolf to dash through, and then go to the left
until you reach a keyhole. You should return to the Reverse Wall, the symbol
should still be catipillar like shape.
=============================================================================
RETURN TO THE REVERSE OUTER WALL
Alucard's level: 47
Items: None
Monsters: *refer to Reverse Outer Wall*
=============================================================================
In here keep going up and return to the Black Marble Gallery.
=============================================================================
RE-RETURN TO THE BLACK MARBLE GALLERY
Alucard's level: 47
Items: Resist Holy, Resist Dark, Heart Max, Resist Fire, Heart Refresh
Monsters: Shaft, Count Dracula
=============================================================================
When you reach here keep going to the right, watch for the moving spikes on
the floor. Keep going until you reach the Giant Clock room. You will meet a
Guardian, who is the toughest non-boss character in the game. Destroy him now
and you can get about 4000 EXP! But save that for later and enter through to
the Giant Clock. Once you reach here the clock will move around and open up
the stone blocks at the top. However, go down and acquire all the goodies
first, down here are all the special weapons that you can choose, to the
right is a LIFE MAX and to the left is a HEART MAX.
If you had not already done so, break the container holding the stop watch
and head up back to the giant clock and use it, it will move the statue at
the lower left, just like it did before. Enter through and pick up the RESIST
FIRE, RESIST THUNDER, RESIST HOLY, and the RESIST DARK potion. Now head back
to the giant clock and go upwards, then to the right to save your game and to
the left is a HEART REFRESH. Now go upwards to your final bout with Shaft and
Dracula, BUT if you do not like the stop watch(it won't work against either
boss) you can acquire another one down below the long drop. Then when your
ready go upwards through the black cage lift.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Shaft
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle should be tough, your Sword Familiar will do 90% of the work.
Jump and attack and avoid its projectiles. Not too much to do actually.
After the battle your final battle with Count Dracula awaits.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL BATTLE: Count Dracula
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This battle will be easy. Use your SHIELD ROD and your ALUCARD SHIELD, then
use the shield super(Square+Cirlce) and extend your shield and touch Dracula.
The battle will be over before it even started.
ENJOY THE ENDING(s)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTE: There are 4 endings in this game, the first two involve you killing
Richter. The higher your percentage determines which ending you
recieve.
The last two endings determine your percentage, if you have 170+%
then you will see the ending where Maria decides not to go with him.
Anything less Maria will go with him(Alucard).
I don't know about how to acquire the 5th ending though. There is a
rumor of it(since you can find the 5th ending by using an XA
extractor), the problem is actually seeing it. Oh well, can anybody
say Gameshark?
-- You can't visit everywhere like Alucard can, don't waste your time.
The highest percentage I ever got with Richter was 180.2%
-- Collect ALL Life Maxs. Why? Because it will improve Richter's defense
and allow him to take more hits.
-- Use your super jump often, you can go almost anywhere fromt he beginning
of the game.
-- Richter can head directly to the Inverted Castle.
-- Richter WILL NOT fight Dracula.

--------------------------------- [ F A Q ] ---------------------------------
=============================================================================
1Q. What is the maximum percentage in this game?
1A. 200.6%
2Q. How do I play as Richter?
2A. Beat the game with 170% or more and enter a begin a new file and name
your character Richter.
3Q. How come you don't include a Richter Blemont walkthrough?
3A. Well the main reason is because Richter can go anywhere he wants ahead of
time. There are a few spots that Richter can't advance through though.
4Q. How come your walkthrough is different from the other walkthroughs?
4A. This game a truely unique, I like it a lot and it reminds me so much of
Super Metroid. The reason why this walkthrough is different than others
is because it all depends how you get through the game, its not like your
regular RPG where you keep going to one direction throughout the game.
This game provides you many options, its the same as getting to D.C.
from Tampa Bay, not everybody will take a plane there, you can take a
car or even take the Atlantic. This is because the options are given
to you, there is no direct or supposed way to go through the game. You
can have over 200 FAQs on this game and yet every walkthrough would be
different. There are some many different combinations to go about this
game, it all depends how you play through the game and what you do.
That's why its important that you start this FAQ out and go along as
I go along. If you were to go through the game by yourself and get
stuck halfway you would probably refer to a walkthrough or a guide.
Say you pick ZKeene's guide for example, you can't follow his guide
because you've only done some of the things he's done. Then you look
at my guide, you noticed that my FAQ is more confusing because you
went through the game differently. That's why its good to play the game
on yourself and see what is ahead of you. Its really difficult to write
a definite guide on this game. Basically this is a variable game and
every thing you do counts.
5Q. How long is this game for the first time?
5A. I'd say about 12-20 hours. Its a large estimate but that should sum it
up. Even expert Castlevania goers like me took pretty long on this game.
6Q. How would you rate the difficult of this game?
6A. Its pretty easy.
7Q. What is the percentage needed to clear a game?
7A. 170.0%
7Q. Can you do anything after you have cleared the game?
7A. Yes, you can play as Richter(see #2), go to the Librarian and get to
listen to all the music in the game and take a look at the Monster
Listings.
8Q. Is there really a 5th ending?
8A. I don't want to get into that because I haven't seen it myself. Look
at ZKeene's excellent guide at www.gamefaqs.com and he has some very
good info about it.
9Q. How come you have to finish at 200% instead of 100%?
9A. Well the point of the game is to fool you into believing that you have
completed the game. If you defeated the first castle at 50%, the player
will get curious and wonder what he didn't do in the game. However, if
it was 100%, the player would stop and not play the game anymore. This
makes the inverted castle so secret without a guide. You think you've
completed the game, but there's more to it.
10Q. What do you think of the inverted castle?
10A. Its the same thing, but its often more difficult to carefully plot out
similarities between two alike castles than two different castles.
The inverted castle IS a different castle, its pretty ingenious of
Konami.
11Q. What is the highest percentage in the game?
11A. 200.6%, however with the Sword Brother's trick you can acquire 212.2%.
12Q. What is the sword brother's spell?
12A. B,DB,D,DF,F+Square+Circle.
13Q. So how do you get this "212.2%?"
13A. In BOTH the inverted castle and regular castle, from the first belltower
before the room with the Spectral sword(across from the Confession
room) go to the bottom of the room but DO NOT ENTER anywhere yet. Do
your Sword brother's spell and then quickly turn into a bat and fly to
the left. You should now be outside the castle, feel free to fill up
the areas now. They will be white squares on your map.
14Q. How do you get a higher percentage?
14A. Well this is very important, you must fill in every little blue square.
Even if you've been in that room before, you probably didn't fill up
all of it.
15Q. Can you reccomend an equally impressive game?
15Q. *Points to Super Nintendo and Super Metroid.*
