Alternate colors
Use the "Easy sword level up" trick to get the Sword Familiar to level 99. Then, cross all the towers. When you get to the last one, you will see that it ends and find the door that leads to the outside where you fly up to fight Richter Belmont. When you get to the end, go on the top of the door. You should be inside the castle again, but when you go outside the background will colored differently.

Cowering Skelarangs
This trick only works at the start of the game. Attack a Skelerang with the short sword one time, then stand still and do not move. The Skelerang should crouch down on its knees and cover its head, and will stay this way until you move away from it.
|
Crisseagrim sword
The best sword in the game is the Crisseagrim (obtained from the Schmoos in the Inverted Library). It is not the most powerful, but its speed and number of hits allows many of the Bosses (Medusa, Mummy ,Frankenstien) to be killed in under ten seconds. Note: Bosses with multiple parts, such as Beelzebub, and those that jump away when hit, such as Doppleganger 40, do not suffer from the multiple hits as well.

Defeating Doppleganger 10
Use the watch sub-weapon. When he freezes, attack him until he dies.
|
Defeating Doppleganger 40
Equip Terminus Est (sword) and Topaz Circlet (Head Gear). This is because he will use any sword you use, and the Terminus Est is a poison sword. The Topaz Circlet will convert Poison damage into HP.
The Dopplegangers react to abnormal status attacks in the same way that you do. Therefore, use the Terminus Est (poisoned sword) to reduce his attack strength, the Stone Sword to inflict Petrify damage, Icebrand to encase him in a block of ice, and Red Rust (which curses the target) to totally disable his attacks.
|
Defeating Dracula
When you fight as Richter against Dracula (in the Prologue: Final Battle level), Alucard's starting stats are determined by several factors
Richter should not pick up any items (Holy Water or Cross).
He should not get hit.
Do not let Maria resurrect him
|
Defeating Final Dracula
To kill Dracula without getting hit, all you need is the Alucard Shield and the Shield Rod. When the battle begins, activate the Shield (use the Rod and the Shield at the same time). Stand in the center of the screen with the Shield out. You will actually gain health each time the Shield hits Dracula.
|
Defeating Galamoth
Equip the following items. Sentient sword familiar at level 99. Find a sword familiar in Olrox's quarters at the bottom right, where the holes in the ground are located. See the Valhalla Knights. The Alucard shield is found where Merman Statue is located, but only in the upside down castle. For the Beryl Circlet. ask the librarian for list of enemies to recover this item. Get God's Garb from the Guardian in the clock room of the upside down castle. Then, get two Rings Of Varda. The Beryl Circlet will make you absorb Galamoth's lightning rod. Galamoth is found in the upside down castle, where the catacombs where you fight the orb.
First, get the Crisseagrim sword from a Schmoo (white flying heads) in the library. When you get to Galamoth, turn into mist and fly to the platform behind his head. Turn back to Alucard and start to attack him using the Crisseagrim. He will have no chance to attack or even move. Note: Crisseagrim is the ultimate weapon in combat, alongside the Shield Rod/Alucard Shield combo.
|
Dragon Statue
Occasionally, when a Petrify attack hits Alucard, he will turn into a giant, kneeling dragon statue instead of an Alucard statue. In this form, you will not take any damage whatsoever from attacks. Breaking out of the stone returns Alucard to his original form.
|
Drop kick
After obtaining the Leap Stone, Alucard can do a drop kick attack. To do it, hold Down during a double jump, and press Jump again. If the attack connects, you will cause base damage (equal to an unarmed attack), plus or minus hit resistance/weakness. Also, if the attack connects, you will jump again as if you had just landed, and you can double jump-drop kick again.
|
Duplication while saving
When playing the game on a PlayStation2 with a Performance 2-in-1 memory card, the game will sometimes freeze while saving. However, you will keep all the experience and items that you received. This allows you to get map items twice and fight Bosses twice. It also removes the map explored since your last save, but does not take the explored % away.
Hidden options
Start a new game with the name AXELORD.
This code has been reported as inaccurate. Please submit any corrections or verifications.
|
Duplicator
After you complete the game return to the Librarian. He will have something special for you, a Duplicator which duplicates any items you use -- you will never run out of anything again. However, it costs 500,000 gold. Try to get the gold close to where you found the mermaids icon in the tunnel that the oarsman takes you. It gives you 2000 a piece there -- not a lot but the best there is. Note: You have to get the good ending (by killing Dracula) first.
|
Easy experience
Find the Terminus Est (a poisoned sword left by Nova Skeletons), then go to the inverted castle. Work your way to the inverted clock hallway where Level 60 Guardians are waiting. Guardians are relatively weak to poison. Slash away, and you will get monster experience. Depending on your level (35-50), you should be able to gain a level every two kills.
Alternatively, equip the Shield Rod and Alucard Shield (the normal one), and press the Left- and Right-hand buttons at the same time. This will activate a special mode in which your shield is granted the abilities of all shields at once. Your shield is now the strongest weapon in the game (for a random amount of limited time). Ram into the Guardians with the Alucard Shield equipped and cause massive, rapid fire damage.
Continually kill the phantom sword in the inverted chapel.
|
Easy familiar level up
Note: This trick works with the bat, sword, fairy, ghost and demon, and requires a controller with a turbo feature. Equip the familiar card that you want to increase in level up. Equip a knife, such as the combat knife, and go to the place near the start of the normal castle where the zombies continuously appear. Set yourself up against a wall where you can attack them, but they cannot attack you from behind. Enable the turbo feature and keep the knife button held. You will continuously kill the zombies without getting hurt. This will slowly earn experience for your familiar card. Note: If the cards evolve, they will be automatically be put away afterwards and will gain any more experience until they are brought back out again.
Familiars increase mainly by number of kills rather than experience value, especially with Alucard at very high levels. Exceptions are made for Bosses (higher) and Blood Skeletons (none). Find a location where lots of enemies constantly replenish, such as in the Marble Gallery in the inverted castle, where Medusa Heads appear, or in the reverse Caverns, where large numbers of Dark Octopi can be found. Equip a fast weapon, choose your familiar, and start slashing.
Once you have a duplicator it is extremely easy to level up the familiars. Go to the reverse caverns in the area after fighting Doppleganger 40. In this area is a room with lots of Dark Octopuses. Drop down into the room and use a Bat Pentagram then a normal Pentagram and jump back out. Each time you do this, you will get 20 to 30 experience for the familiar, and it can be done many times in one minute.
|
Easy money
Equip the Jewel Sword (from Discus Lord), then press Down, Down/Forward, Forward. Coins will fall from the sword, giving you extra money.
|
Easy sword level up
After you have acquired the sword familiar, go to the castle entrance. You will see a part of that level where merman are jumping out of the water. Stand on the left ledge. Take out the sword familiar and let it attack everything. This will take about four or five hours. Alucard will never be hit as long as he is on the left ledge. You can use the sword familiar as a weapon when it reaches level 50, or you can get the most powerful weapon in the game by letting it go to level 99.
|
Faerie on your shoulder
When you have the Faerie familiar, get her out and do not move. In a little while, the Faerie will go onto your shoulder to sit. If you move, she will fall off with a screech.
|
Flying Alucard
This glitch can be done during the game any time after getting the Soul Of Bat relic. Locate a Life Max up, Heart Max up, or a relic. Press R1 to turn into a bat the moment that you are about to grab the item. The game will glitch and Alucard will start flying. Press R1 to return to normal.
To do this trick, you must have the Bat Card. Press Triangle to dash and press R2 to change into the bat. You can also switch out of the bat if fast enough (does not use any MP).
|
God's Garb
Finish the game with over a 200% completion. Then, start a new game with the name MEPHISTO.
|
Hover jump
Press X, release, and quickly press X again and you will hover in midair for a brief moment instead of dropping to the ground. This requires practice, and the effect is most noticeable (and useful) prior to obtaining the Leap Stone.
|
Introduction forest secret
Start a new game as Richter. As soon as the game starts, immediately turn around, duck, and do the sliding attack. You will exit the entrance to the castle before the main gate closes. You can now walk outside, on top, or to the very start of the game where Alucard runs to enter the castle. Note: Once you slide attack your way out the first time, the main gate will not open for you once it has closed. Therefore, you are locked out. Run, or if you are patient, walk all the way to the left once you have first exited the gate. Go on for about 30 seconds all the way to the left. Richter will automatically do an Alucard introduction by running through the forest, jumping on the bridge, and say "Holy Cross!" when he jumps the gate to enter Castlevania again.
|
Keep Alucard's equipment
Begin a game with the "Start with 99 luck" code. After reaching the room with the three Wargs (before the room with Death), kill them all. To enter the next room without confronting Death, tap Right until you are slightly into the room. Do not go too far over or else Death will get your character. Go back, remove everything except for the Alucard Sword, Twilight Cloak, and Necklace of J. This should result in a DEF rating of 12. Kill the first Warg (going left) and stand in front of the middle Warg, but make sure you are facing left. Allow it hit you. It should send your character flying out of the room and past Death. Then, save the game. once you return to the room with Death, Slogra And Gaibon will be there. It does not matter if they are defeated, they will still be in their original room. You will be unable to enter the menu screen until the game is saved.
An easier way to make sure you do not meet Death is to enter the room, but as soon as the screen turns black, begin holding Left. The game show the screen and you will walk right back out without meeting Death. Go ahead with the rest of the trick as described (take off the items, kill the first Warg headed left, let the second hit you, etc.). Additionally, do not go through the hole leading into the room Death was in, as this will cause the game to glitch and show Alucard repetitively falling through the hole into the room of Death.
|
King's Stone
The little bat-like creatures that blow at your head will give you a King's Stone (STR +10)
|
Librarian bounce items
After obtaining the Leap Stone and Gravity Boots, return to the Long Library, and proceed all the way to the left from the entrance. In the last room, there is a hole in the ceiling that takes you to directly under the Librarian. Line up directly under the hole, and Super Jump. Jumping first, then doing a Super Jump will result in absolutely no effect. Doing the Super Jump repeatedly (without hitting the floor) will result in the Librarian dropping a Life Up, Ring of Arcana, AxeLord Armor, and Dracula Tunic. After the Librarian drops one item, drop to the floor, and then repeat to get the next item.
You have to go all the way left from the entrance as described previously. In the last room, you need the Leap Stone and Gravity Boots. Stand directly under the hole in the ceiling and press Down, Up, Jump to do the Super Jump. Then, use your Double Jump while in the air to do another Super Jump. After you do the double jump, repeatedly press Down, Up, Jump. When your magic is used up about half way, you will obtain one of the items.
|
Marsil sword
To get the best looking sword in the game, you must have high luck. Go to the Inverted laboratory and kill the Fire Demons until you get the Marsil. They will also give you the fire sheild.
|
More game completion percentage
Once you have collected the Sword Card and the Soul of Bat relic, go to the Royal Chapel. In the very bottom-left corner of the first Bell Tower is a "door" to a room with two large candles. Stand in the bell tower, activate the Sword Familiar, and do the Sword Brother's spell (Down, Down/Right, Right, Up/Right, then hold Up, Down, Circle or Square). While the sword is spinning, shift into a bat and fly to the left. You should stay in the bell tower and be able to fly up and around the outside of it. This will fill in a white block on your map, which counts on your percentage. This can also be done in the inverted Chapel. Note: This requires your Sword Familiar be at Level 99/Exp 99.
|
Mublung sword
In the inverted castle, you will find a Spectral Sword in the Reverse Chapel. That Spectral Sword drops a sword called the Mublung Sword. This sword can be used to do the shields special moves and its stronger than the Shield Rod.
