Strategy Guide

  • Play as Richter Belmont

    Save a game with any of the following attributes: after the final battle in the game, into the middle section of the inverted castle, after beating the final villain, and marked as "clear". Then, start a new game with the name "RICHTER". Now you will play as Richter Belmont. Richter can not change forms or use armor, weapons, items, and magic. He can perform a super jump, a blade charging move, and use secondary weapons such as the throwing dagger, axe, and holy water.

  • Start with blue armor

    Obtain a saved game file as described in the "Play as Richter Belmont" code. Then, start a new game with the name "AXEARMOR". Now you will begin the game with the blue armor that transforms your character into the axe-wielding blue knight.

  • Start with 99 luck

    Obtain a saved game file as described in the "Play as Richter Belmont" code. Then, start a new game with the name X-X!V''Q. Note: There are two apostrophes in the name. Now you will begin with luck set to 99.

  • Start with higher intelligence

    Obtain a saved game file as described in the "Play as Richter Belmont" code. Then, start a new game with the name X-X!V''. Note: There are two apostrophes in the name. Now you will begin with increased intelligence but decreased strength.

  • Music test

    Beat the game with a rating of over 190% with Alucard. Then, start a new game with Alucard without overwriting the previous game. Go to the Librarian to display a music select option in the "Buy/Sell" window.

  • Control opening screen

    When "Now Loading" appears, use the D-pad to change the opening screen.

  • Bonus music track

    Play track two of the game disc in an audio CD player.
