Castlevania
Carrie's Second
Costume
At the very top of the Tower of Sorcery, just before the exit, look out and you
will see a torch on a floating platform. Use holy water to see the invisible
path that leads to the purple jewel in the torch which unlocks secret #2,
Carrie's 2nd outfit, after you finish the game.
Easy Money
In the Castle Center, in the room where you fight the Abomination, (The Really
Big Bull) there is a crate in the left of where the big crystal is. Whack it
three times, and 2000g will be yours. Now save and repeat. You will get a lot of
G!
Finding Secrets
If you press the ACTION button when in front of most statues you will receive a
roast chicken or a roast beef. Sometimes reading the clues on these statues will
tell you of other hidden surprises. Also, ledges containing secrets can be
accessed by just jumping straight up and pulling your character to the top.
Get Special2
Easy
Most people get the Execution Key to get the Special2 in the Execution Tower,
but if you find a Skull Cannon and the ledge behind it has an Iron Maiden, you
can use the hidden ledges to pull yourself up there. You don't even need the
key!
Hard
Difficulty
To obtain the hard difficulty setting you must get the first green jewel that
releases secret #1 on the item list. It is located in the forest stage in a
torch upon a floating platform.
Once you've done that,
finish the game with either character. After the ending sequences and credits,
you will be able to save your game and select a new, previously inaccessible
HARD difficulty mode.
Hidden Powerup
before Dracula
When you are climbing the stairs up towards Draculas lair, you pass through two
towers before reaching the final tower. At the last tower, jump onto either of
the two torches and shimmy around the ledge to the other side. There you will
find a breakable torch with a Red Jewel and a floating platform. You can walk to
the platform on thin air by walking straight toward it from the torch with the
Red Jewel. Inside you will find a Healing Kit, helpful for the major battle(s)
to come.
Kill Fifth
Level Beast Easily
To kill the beast on the 5th level quickly and easily, use an axe on his head
until it eventually disappears. If done properly, you kill him after only taking
off 1/4 of his life meter and you get a roast beef as a reward.
Re-do
Clocktower Stage
This works with Reinhardt. It has not been tested with Carrie.
After
exiting the clock tower through the third door, instead of going up the
staircase, take the elevator on the right hand side. This takes you to the roof
of the Clock Tower. From the roof there are four edges you can slide down.
Choose either one of the front two facing the stairway. Run off of the roof and
fall for a few seconds. Then hit the jump button and if you didn't jump too
early, you should be able to land on to the platform where you previously fought
Death. Take the elevator in the center of the platform down and you end up at
the beginning of the Clock Tower stage.
Reinhardt's
Second Costume
In the Tower of Execution, go up to the third level and slash one of the iron
maidens to get the execution key. Now jump back down to level 2 and enter the
iron gate that was once locked. Walk down the hallway and look over the ledge to
see a floating platform with an iron maiden. Slash it to reveal the purple jewel
which is secret #2 on the item list. This will unlock Reinhardt's 2nd costume.
Secret
Items in the Castle Courtyard
In the Castle Courtyard wait until 12:00 midnight and a secret platform will
rise from the fountain allowing access to the items on the top.
Secret of
Charlie Vincent
In the Villa, Charlie tells you
he is off to defeat Dracula with or without you. During the rest of the game, if
you use too many sun and moon cards, i.e. take too many days to reach the final
stage, Charlie will have arrived before you and been bitten by Dracula's
servant. Charlie will become a vampire you have to kill. This determines the
good or bad endings. Fight Charlie and you see the bad ending. But if you get
through the game swift enough to arrive at Dracula's servant before Charlie, you
get to fight the "true" forms of Dracula and see the good ending.
Secret of
Renon's Contract
In the Villa Stage, Renon tells you there is a part of his contract that you
cannot read. What it actually says is that you can visit Renon as often as you
like, but your total purchase of his items cannot exceed 30,000 gold for the
rest of the game. If you do spend over that amount then Renon will fight you.
Skip
Three Bosses in the Dual Towers
After you beat the first guy and the ceiling falls climb up the ledges and jump
on the next building, then jump to the next.
Go to the corner of that building and look down. You'll see some stepping stones
way down there.
Step back, run and jump. If you jump right you'll land on the stones. There's a
chicken one way and then go the other way and climb the ledges to fight the last
guy!
Talk to Rosa
To talk to Rosa, a vampire who waters the roses in the villa, enter the room
with all the red roses in it. At 3:00 A.M., Rosa will come and water the roses.
