Save often
Save the game every time that you get the chance to
do so. This will prevent difficult sections of the game from having
to be repeated.
Solving the Goddess astronomy puzzle
Set Gold on 2, Red on 4, and Blue on 8.
Passing the hedge maze
Look up and to the right at the entrance to the garden
hedge maze to find a platform. Use the invisible ledge in front
of the platform to reach it. When passing through the maze with
Malus, turn left, open the unlocked door, then move left, right,
right, left, left, left, right, right, enter the gate and collect
the items, exit through the gate and run right, left, right, left,
left, right. Move through the passage, collect the key, walk through
the Villa, re-enter the maze, run down the long passage towards
the tower, then enter the door to the right.
Finding food
Look at the statues to find chickens or slabs of beef.
Healing kit and extra items
On the third set of stairs after leaving the Clock
Tower, right before you open the door to enter Stage 10, are two
flames on each side. Choose one and jump to it. Walk slowly around
until you reach the back. You will see two small platforms with
a Torch on each of them. Get to the platform that is connected
to the building. Hit the torch and get the items. To get the torch
that seems to be on a floating platform, go to the corner across
from the torch. You have to walk across an invisible walkway.
Just walk directly -- there are no turns.
Collecting the courtyard fountain
items
Wait until midnight, and climb the platform that appears
in the courtyard fountain.
Speaking to Rosa
Speak with Rosa when she appear in the rose garden
in the Villa at 3 a.m.
Invisible path
At the beginning of the game, you have to climb all
the way to the top in the first level. You will reach a hanging
rigging. Go up to it and head straight towards the other tower.
You will notice that there is an invisible path to go to the top
that cannot reach. There is a healing kit and roast beef at this
location.
Defeating Dracula 1 Boss
The problem of tracking the elusive Boss Dracula 1
and whipping his head is greatly simplified if you start the round
by jumping into his casket and whip him from there. The height
of the casket requires no jumping -- just whip. Pace the inner
length of the casket, then use lock-on and whip when he is within
range. You can use the crosses from there, but should be saved
for later. If the Boss catches you during the Vac and Suck attack,
you can avoid becoming a vampire by continually rotating the Analog-stick
fully either clockwise or counterclockwise while he is biting.
Continue until he is through. This will save you from using the
Purifying Potion, but the Boss will still put a hit on your life
bar. Shaking [Analog-stick Left] and [Analog-stick Right]
will also work, but is unstable due to the need for correct left/right
orientation. If you miss by a few degrees, it will fail. Thrashing
the Boss with the Rod while he is biting you only seems to reduce
his take on your life bar slightly.
Castle Center: Unlimited money
Defeat the bull in the Castle Center, then return to
the white crystal save point. Locate and open the large crate
to collect $2,000. Save and load the game, then open the crate
again. Repeat this to gain an unlimited amount of money.
Silent Forest: Special Crystal
Instead of jumping to the platform with the Special
Crystal, you can just walk out to it.
Dracula's Castle: Hidden items
When you are just about to fight Dracula, jump onto
the candle that is right besides Dracula's room. Press "C-Right
"and you will get a healing kit. After that, jump and press
[Right] when up against the wall. Go all the way to the back
of the room. Hit the candle and you will get a power-up. When
you turn around, you will see a floating panel with a candle on
it . Go all the way to the back of the platform that you are currently
on. Run up and jump straight ahead to land on an invisible platform
. Hit the candle and you will get roast beef.
