[1] )))))))))))))))) Introduction (((((((((((((((((((
========================================================
First off I would like to thank anyone who reads this walkthru and uses
it to the fullest. Second, this walkthru is NOT 100% complete, nor will
it EVER be. However, it does cover almost everything that is in the
game.
Second, as with many FAQs you find in this format, this document should
be viewed in Courier New (Baltic) or (Western) at size 10 or this
document will be well out of whack.
Third, let me make this very clear from the start. This is a
FAQ/Walkthru for the NEW Castlevania game for the Nintendo 64, not the
classic NES version. Konami has simply named it Castlevania instead of
Castlevania 64 or 3D just to confuse people and plus the 64 and 3D
endings just plain sound bad.
After writing my first walkthru for MegaMan Legends I discovered two
things about writing a FAQ.
1) If you devote enough time to it, it can be a breeze.
2) You become the center of attention on that one game. Any and Every
question goes to you.
After getting well over 300 e-mails and having a 90 plus contact list
for ICQ, I decided it was time to move on. I checked some games out, but
they just went bad. Tenchu: Stealth Assassins didn't had too little to
write about and Zelda: Ocarina of Time had too much to write about, not
to mention it was done by around thirty other people.
Castlevania is another matter. It involves everything I like. Death,
Role Playing, More Death and Big Bosses. Being the 17th in it's series,
Castlevania has plenty to live up to, especially Castlevania Symphony of
the Night, one of the PSX's best games. Well on with the guide!

[4] )))))))))))) The Cast Of Castlevania ((((((((((((((
========================================================
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| REINHARDT SCHNEIDER |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Occupation: Vampire Killer
Age: 25
Height: 183 cm
Weight: 78 kg
Likes: Whip-Dagger-Axe-Holy~Water-Cross Training......
Dislikes: Vampires, Zombies, Vampire~Zombies
Main Weapon: Whip
Second Weapon: Dagger
Say this one seven times fast. The male role of the game goes to
Schneider, a fur wearing, whip cracking, knife slashing all around
vampire hunter. Schneider himself is actually a calm fellow, taking time
to understand problems but something else resides within him.
The most recent in line from the long line of Belmonts who have devoted
their lives to be vampire killer. However, the memories of these heroes,
Ralph, Simon and Richter, who have helped these blighted lands has faded
with time. He receives a warning from his father,
"Some day, you may have no choice except to fight."
After Reihnhardt's father, Michael passes away, Reihnhardt accepts his
destiny to be a vampire hunter, and trains daily in the mountains of his
homeland of Vallakia
As the 10th year in the mountains approaches the end, incidents of
monsters attacking children lost in the woods increase. Reihnhardt
senses the increased activity in a sign of the return of the dark lord
and emerges from the mountain. He seeks out Priest Samuel, the only one
that remembers the past, to undo the seal on the symbol of the Vampire
Killer, the holy whip, heirloom of the Belmont clan.
With weapon in hand, he is a figure of justice from the Belmont family.
Many find this individual to be dark and unapproachable, however the
reality of the man is a individual of deep responsibility, silent and
cool, where underneath a heart burns with fighting spirit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| CARRIE FERNANDEZ |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Occupation: Magican
Age: 12
Height: 142 cm
Weight: 35 kg
Likes: Cool Costumes, Speaking Spanish
Dislikes: The undead, Dracula, Bad Doggies

Carrie Fernandez is one of the last known descendants from a Spanish
family travelling throughout Europe. The family was rumored to have
great magic in the form of a magic orb, however this could never be
proven. Though, there were stories of a travelling group that had great
success in repelling marauding of their wagon train, human and
otherwise.
This success was not to last however, when the Patriarchal figurehead of
the Fernadez family came under the curse of Dracula and virtually
obliterated the family. The survivors fled and were thought to have
disappeared.
Years later, an orphaned child was found to have a talent for magic. She
was a gentle, fragile looking child. Her adopted mother traced her
origin back to a travelling band that had thought to have been
destroyed. Along with tracing Carrie's heritage, it was discovered that
her real parents were condemned as evil by villagers frightened by
anything that they could not understand. These memories of her mother
being burned by the villagers haunt her to the point that she suspends
her belief in a god that did not seem to care and also mistrusting of
adults.
Tragedy strikes again in Carrie's life when a demonic forces come to
ravage their village. Her foster mother is killed while diving to save
her. Her grief and terror unlock a greater power within Carrie, a power
to create an orb, which she unleashes at the demon that bears down upon
her. The orb strikes the beast the writhes in agony as it is banished
back to the pit. She vows to stop the terror and heads to the castle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| COUNT VLAD "Dracula" TEPES |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruler of Transylvania and all vampires, he rises again every one
hundred years, only to be killed by a member of the Belmont line of
vampire hunters. The only exception to this was when he arose without
warning in the late 1800s by the dark priest Shaft, only to be put back
down by his own son, Adrian Fahrenheit "Alucard" Tepes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| MICHEAL GELHART |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The father of Reinhart, he also practiced and trained in the art of
vampire killing (sounds kinda fun, huh?). While not much is known of his
past, Gelhart raised his son to understand what he would become. Gelhart
is no longer, but he has left the legacy of the Belmont to Schneider.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| PRIEST SAMUEL |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The only one who knows of the lands past. He is the only one who can
reveal the symbol of the vampire hunter, unleashing the holy whip.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| CHARLIE VINCENT |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A very cocky vampire hunter who thinks he can take Dracula on all by
himself. He may be very surprised in the end...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| MALUS |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A young boy who became lost in the castle after his parents were
killed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| RENON |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A businessman who sets up shop wherever death and destruction are
prevalent. Did we mention that he's a demon?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| ROSA |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A young woman tainted by the curse of the vampire. She is employed by
Dracula to water his roses.

Most Television sets support Stereo (2 channel sound) well, and I even
believe that Castlevania supports the sub-woofer!

A few sets (like mine at the moment) only support mono, which only uses
on channel of sound. A few Capcom games actually did sound better on
Mono in my opinion.
\\\\\ Default /////
Takes all changes back to the original positions.

[7])))))))) Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) ((((((((((((
========================================================
Q. Where is Reinhardt's Second Costume?
A. During the Tower of Execution, in one of the iron maidens on the
third level for the Execution key. Go back down to level two and open
the iron gate. Look over the ledge to see a floating platform. Inside
the iron maiden is the Purple Jewel which will give you access to his
second costume after finishing the game.
Q. Where is Carrie's Second Costume?
A. At the very top of the Tower of Sorcery, right before the exit, look
outward and in the distance is a torch. Use Holy Water to guide your way
on the invisible walkway. Once across you can obtain the Purple Jewel,
which after finishing the game, allows Carrie 2nd Outfit to be used.
Q. How can I get to the HARD Difficulty?
A. Before the werewolf, there is a floating platform and a flame. Walk
across to get the Green Jewel. After beating the game with any
character, watching the ending, credits and save game option you can now
play in HARD mode.
Q. Why can't I get gold in EASY mode?
A. You have unlimited gold in EASY mode.
Q. How do I get a Good/Bad ending?
A. If you use to many Sun/Moon cards, Charlie Vincent will have tried to
reach Dracula before you. He this happens he will be bitten and then
become a vampire himself. You will have to fight Charlie and then end up
seeing the bad ending. Move fast enough and the good ending is yours.
Q. Does Renon really fight you?
A. Yes, if you spend over 30,000 in gold then Renon will fight you.
Q. Can I hold more then one special weapon?
A. No, you must use the last one you picked up.
========================================================
[8] )))))))))))))))) Getting Started (((((((((((((((((((
========================================================
From the very start you will get one of two messages. The first reads
that you don't have a Controller Pak inserted and gives you the option
to proceed without the save feature or the chance to re-connect your
Controller Pak. A normal Pak carries 123 pages of memory, Castlevania
takes up 9 pages for each save, a small amount compared to Turok 2's 70
pages and Mario Kart's insane amount of 121 pages.
The Second message will read that you have a Controller Pak. Choose the
option to make a Castlevania file. Once this out of the way, the Konami
and KCEK logs will appear. Then on with the game...
It begins with a sweeping shot of the forbidden castle (with so-so
keyboard music) and then the blood red moon appears along with Malus
playing the violin (EXCELLENT music here). You then get the chance to
start the game or go to the options menu. Just start the game, you can
change the options later.
At the Data screen select Game Start. The four slots available should
be empty at the moment, unless you have saved a previous time. Pick a
slot and then choose your difficulty (Normal is HIGHLY recommended).
*********************** WARNING WARNING **************************
CASTLEVANIA CANNOT BE COMPLETED ON EASY MODE !!! Konami has made it
official, stating that the game with end on level five for if the game
is set on EASY mode. I suggest not even trying it unless you are not
getting a long amount of time to play this game, and if you aren't then
why are you even reading this FAQ?
*********************** WARNING WARNING **************************
After the this you can choose for either Reinhardt or Carrie. Keep in
mind this walkthru is only for Reinhardt at this time, but will soon
include Carrie. The pages begin to turn and reveals it to be the
Necronomicon, the book of the dead (hey, The Evil Dead was educational
you know). Then the narration (N64 audio is getting much better, no?)
begins. The camera then centers on Schneider in an open area. He makes a
sign of the cross over his heart and speaks "Courage... Don't leave
me..." Now the game truly begins....
========================================================
[9] ))))))))))))))) Forest Of Silence ((((((((((((((((((
========================================================
You begin with no special weapons but you do have your trusty Dagger
and Whip, more than enough for now. Forge ahead a bit and get ready for
some cool effects (which can hurt you if you are not careful). Head past
the trees (don't goto the right yet) and whip the two classic candles.
You will get the knife and a large Red Jewel. If you jump upon the left
pillar, hang on, pull yourself up and then look to the right pillar, you
will see another candle. Time your jump and go for the candle for a
Roast beef. Now go towards the right path and past the skeleton lying on
the ground.
Cut Scene Time! Schneider investigates the corpse but is soon
interrupted as three rotting bone dudes get up on their own!! Sorry, if
your new to the whole Castlevania thing, this can really get to you.
Wow, these buggers are fast! A good two whips or so should finish them,
just back up a little and get a cracking! Pick up any items on the
ground with right C. Go upward to the gate and you will find that a seal
is over it. If you want, you can walk back and see the trees once again
burn down, but the candles will not hold anything. Now jump and whip the
blue seal on the large gate till it breaks off.
!!!!!!!!!!!
BOSS: Silverback Skeleton
!!!!!!!!!!!
Once the seal breaks MOVE BACK! Didn't expect this so soon, huh? The
boss carries a large club that when hit on the ground will resurrect
other demon skeleton warriors. Take out some of the pests and then go in
under the legs of the beast and hit it from behind. After a few hits it
will retreat back behind the gate. Don't worry the Club often has a low
chance of hitting you, but the boss with often move around hurting you
and killing the other skeletons! Don't use you knives yet. Once you get
the boss retreats for a second time one of the skeletons should leave
behind a axe. Pick up the axe and go up to the boss once more. After
enough hits, it will roar into the air and jump off the back cliff. Two
platforms will raise and the boss will fall to the depths below, maybe
to return later (if you look to the right and down, try to look for a
small white object, it's the bosses head! He didn't go anywhere!).
Jump the across the broken "bridge". Hopefully the fight provided you
with a power up so all the baddies should only take one hit to kill. At
the intersection, take the left way to the gate. Check the white crystal
to save. If you check the sign, I'm sure you will get a good idea of how
well checking every item will help you along your quest =) Now take the
right path to the small housings. Destroy the flames in both for the Sun
and Moon card. To the left of the housings is a small platform, you can
jump onto the housings from here and continue on the roofs to get a red
jewel and a roast chicken. This place is crawling with baddies so hurry
to the next broken bridge and make some heavy jumps.
On the other side, take out the bats with your dagger. Now hit the
switch to open the gate where the save point was.
!!!!!!!!!!!
Mini-BOSS: WereTiger
!!!!!!!!!!!
The bridge is out and there is a big stripped baddie! This guy does his
best Terminator parody by walking slowly around and then hitting you
swiftly. Just hit him from a distance and use the middle pillar as
defense. After about seven good whip cracks, he should burn to death.
Now go back and through the gate. Notice if you stay in the middle of
the bridge, the skeletons will jump over to get you! On the way you will
encounter explosive skeletons and bone throwing skeletons, but they go
down quickly too. To the right of the now open gate is a torch with a
helpful power up. Now jump atop the pillar in the center and hit the
torch for the cross, a powerful special weapon. Check around the bottom
of the pillar for a roast. In the back you can see a large ravine, jest
before the cliff is a odd stone. Duck and hit it with your dagger to
reveal 2500 gold! Beyond is another save point and a tomb. Don't bother
trying tomb, it only offers minimal items and leaves you open to
attacks, plus it can be hard to jump up on.
To the far right is another out bridge. Jump over and hit the torch for
a roast beef, then hit the switch for the other gate to open. No mini-
boss this time, but HURRY and jump onto the lowering bridge and then
jump over to the cliff. It is very difficult to climb from the very
bottom. Yes, the water can drown you. Now pass through the gate and if
you wish, the torch to the right has the axe, but the cross is actually
a bit better. Check the three tombs for some more health.
Beyond, try to kill the bone boy from afar, jump over and the look to
the left. Here you can see a floating platform and a torch. Simply walk
over to it, the walkway is invisible. Here you get the Green Jewel
(Special1) which is used to get HARD mode. Jump across once more to the
other side. Now prepare for a group of vampire bats to fly out. Once
they have been swatted down, hit the rock to the left of the entrance to
get a power-up, Roast Chicken and some money. Onward you will face a
werewolf and the bone heads. Use your crosses on the wolf, jump above
his dashes, remember to have the camera in battle view, stay in the
clearing not the center and try to use the save point to the right just
in case. Check around the statue in the middle for a roast and the tomb
holds a sun card. Continue on and once at the corpse-on-a-stick stand,
use the narrow steps to go down to the lever. The gate by the three
tombs is now open so return.
This part is TRICKY, getting the hang on method is a matter of skill.
Just keep practicing with the other ledges before you go down. Once back
at the gate, hit the red torch to get a roast and hit the last lever.
Now go back to the werewolf area and through the final gate.
!!!!!!!!!!!
BOSS: Silverback Skeleton
!!!!!!!!!!!
Round 2 !! This time, expect a fight to the death. The beginning is the
hardest. He will lure you into a ring of motorcycle riding skeletons
(.......) and then make some very long sweep attacks. Going under him is
not as easy, and more skeletons rise all the time. Special weapons are
near to worthless here so just stick to the whip. Make sure to be
carrying some extra supplies to revive your health. The boss will
retreat, so head up to him, let him swing will you are running around
him in circles and jump when the club comes close. Then he is all yours,
the arm comes of then the bottom half and the he will crawl almost
helplessly on the ground, finish him off and exit. Schneider faces the
massive drawbridge as it folds down, after entering, it rises back up,
trapping him inside...
========================================================
[10] ))))))))))))))) Castle Wall ((((((((((((((((((
========================================================
First off I just want to say this is one of my least favorite levels.
With that out of the way, lets move on. After the gate closes behind
you, save at the white crystal and open the door to the right (the other
is locked at the moment). Here you must trek up the winding staircase of
death. Begin upward and jump across the gap. Now you will face the
dreaded Bone Pillar. Do your best to use special weapons here and don't
get too close, you don't want to end up like a roasted marshmallow. Jump
on the moving platform and onto the next set. Defeat the pillar and time
your jump to the platform, staying clear of the edge and the bloody
guillotines. A bat often comes out of no where and knocks you out of the
sky, so try to stay to the right here. At the next jump, get on the
platform and make a leap to the other side. The guillotine should not be
able to hit you since you will probley come up short.
After another set of the blades and jumps, swat down the four bats and
then you will come upon and door. Enter and prepare for
!!!!!!!!!!!
Mini-BOSS: White Dragon Twins
!!!!!!!!!!!
The twins can be difficult, so try to have some reserve energy in hand.
Try to run to the outside of the wall and lure one away from the other,
make sure both are not facing you. Once it spits the flame out, move and
then stop and then whip away. Sooner or later one will burn to a black
crisp form. Once in black form, it will fire a long stream of blue
flames that is often hard to miss. Repeat this process and if needed,
use the stone entrance for cover.
Later, jump up on the side (not the small broken part) of the entrance
and Schneider will grab on and pull himself up to the torch with the
roast inside. Now go to the center of the room and pull the switch.
After the gate is lowered, look down and check for the platform with the
save crystal. Fall down and save as you see fit, but beware the
skeletons, they come back sooner then normal. Whack the small pillar in
the middle for a powerup and many red jewels.
On the lower platform is a waiting bone pillar and a slew of skeletons.
Hit the torch for the moon card and drop down to the final level. Go
back by the shelf, jump up and grab the powerup. In one of the corners
is a crack, fall down it and you will be back at the very beginning. Go
inside the new place and hit the center torch for the Red Left Tower
Key.
This tower is worse then the first! make the first jumps then climb the
staircase. Careful around the solid walkway, it will soon break in two
so move back or jump forward quickly. Next beware of incoming bats and
try to go just beyond the blade so your jump can be pulled off at the
desired time. The rotating spikes mean serious damage and often death.
The next set involves a pillar, and 4 rotating spikes. When the 2nd and
4th spikes are safe, that is the time to go, careful of the blade at the
end. Make the steep jump on the stairs and whip back the pillar and it's
flames. Things are getting complicated but you are almost done here.
Time your jumps on the next spikes and RUN when on the next set of
"stairs". Make a few short jumps and try to take out the pillar early so
it will not interfere.
At the top is a moon crested door. If needed, you may use a moon card
at your will. For all your hard work you will receive an excellent cut
scene with the big man himself DRACULA. I must say, the voice acting is
suited much to well for this game... Perfect! After the taunting, go
back to the brick entrance and hit the pillar in the back with your
dagger for 2500 gold again! I have around 11,000 gold if you were
wondering. Jump upon the entrance (you will hang on and climb up) to
save and get a roast.
Now carefully make your way back down to the very beginning and enter
through the now opened gate.
========================================================
[11] ))))))))))))))))))) Villa (((((((((((((((((((((((
========================================================
This music is stating to grow on me. After the quick cut scene it is
back to business with the hell hounds. The cross works wonders here and
holy water is also effective. Once the three dogs are slain the first
gate will open, two other doggies will jump out and freely use the fire
attack. After the slaying of these comes the final blood hound. Nice
effects here, eh? Move toward the gate and pick up the roast, then
carefully slay the dog, making sure it is always in your site.
In the next area, be aware of the time. At midnight the platform in the
fountain will rise and allow access to the items above. Save with the
crystal to the right and beware the Lost Souls and Lost Specters. To the
right of the gate is a grave cross, whack it for a powerup. Beyond the
save crystal is also a cross, hit it for a roast. Once you are done
here, move on into the Mansion.
Once inside, your might be thinking "Haven't I been here before?" Well
if you ever played the original Resident Evil, you have, this almost a
replica of sorts of the mansion. Continue onto the stairway and prepare
to meet the infamous zombie vampire! Head up onto the stairs, turn
around and kill! This narrows the vampires ability to run around
circles. After it's death (if you were bitten, a cure is coming up) go
and break the upstairs and downstairs candles and vases for red jewels.
Check the first upstairs sofa for a purifying which cures the vamp
status. Take the door on the upstairs to the outdoor hallway (I almost
expected some killer ravens at this point) and onto the Rose Garden.
Check the time. If it is near 3:00 AM, then STAY in the room. If you
have to some time to kill, continue on and come back just before 3:00
AM. Once it does it 3:00 AM, Rosa comes out sprays some blood on the
flowers tells Schneider not to die too soon and then vanishes....
Creepy. Anyhow, now is the time to continue on. Through the other door
leads to a stair way. Climb it and take the axe or knife if needed.
Enter the first door to the left, check the chairs for a purifying then
open the next door in the room.
You will meet Vincent (who looks a bit like a certin Metal Gear Solid
character) another vampire killer. He pretty much takes you as a nobody
and then walks around a bit. Talk to him after the cut scene to get the
key to archives. Examine the room beyond for the cross weapon and some
gold. Leave and open the 3rd door to enter a long room filled with
specters and souls. To the left, jump up on the chimney and check the
lion head for a roast. In the main room, hit the vases for the store
room key and another roast. Check the painting above the chimney for a
purifying. Jump up and hit the red chandler for another purifying.
Exit through the double doors and go down the stairs to meet Renon, the
Demon Salesman. You can now pick up the contract lying on the floor and
purchase items. Buy what you need and check the golden knight for a
purifying.
---- Price List ----
| Roast Chicken 1500 |
| Roast Beef 2000 |
| Healing Kit 3000 |
| Purifying 500 |
| Cure Ampoule 200 |
| Sun Card 500 |
| Moon Card 500 |
--------------------
Return upstairs and check the storage room for two roasts and a save
crystal. Onward to the last door you will see a interesting cut scene
with a villager. Where did the table go? Do you best to avoid him, he
has the advantage here. Afterwards check the roses for a purifying and
move onto the other door in the room. Here you can us the archives key.
Check the table for a purifying and go to the end corner for the Garden
Key. Saving once more is well worth it. Return to where you met Rennon
and exit through the double doors to the garden.
========================================================
[12] )))))))))))))))) Garden Maze ((((((((((((((((((((((
========================================================
Open the gate (those statue dogs don't look helpful) and continue on
until the first left, then go on past the bridge. Here you will meet
Malus, who *sniff* lost his *sob* parents earlier... What the?? OH NO
THERE ARE TWO DOGS WHO KEEP COMING BACK AND MAKING MY LEGS TURN TO
STONE!! Exit the dead end and follow Malus, open the door to the left
and then take a left, right, right, left... THE DOGS ARE BACK AND THEY
HAVE A BIG FRANKENSTEIN CHAINSAW HACKING GUY WHO CAN'T BE HURT WITH
THEM! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Now is a good time to take a
reality check or just enjoy the insanity. Run left, right, right, left,
left, left, right, right and then enter the gate. Whew, time for a quick
rest here. Check the torches for some red jewels and a roast. When the
coast is clear, exit, make a right, left, right, left, left, right and
meet Malus at the door. After you let Malus go free turn around and walk
down the long walk stopping at the torch to get the copper key.
Open the gate and go inside the door to get a save point and a roast in
the candle. Unlock the door beyond and you will be back in the mansion
entrance. Make your way ALL THE WAY back to where you first met Renon,
and go back to the garden entrance. Run directly toward the lookout
tower area and make a right and open the door with the copper key. Run
down the stream, jump on the bridge and take a left. Hit the torch for a
purify and save if you like at the white crystal.
Now enter the door next to the crystal. Walk down the steps and walk up
to the Casket.
!!!!!!!!!!!
BOSS: Vampire Duo
!!!!!!!!!!!
The casket is empty but soon a body falls from the ceiling, it seems a
vampire was feasting on woman the entire time. This vampire is a bit
different then before. This time he takes many more hits and remains in
the air more often. When he is chasing you, stop and then move out of
the way before he attacks, after he hits air turn and use a special
weapon. Once you send him to his grave, the woman comes alive as a vamp
(Evil Dead Style)! She crawls on the floor and often spits bats at you.
A few times she may turn into fog, but she is really just a pushover.
After the fight walk up to the coffin and jump in.
========================================================
[13] )))))))))) Tunnels (Schneider Only) (((((((((((((((
========================================================
Once in the caverns, you may just go forward hitting bats and timing
your jumps from the double rock crushers. At the end is a orange lift,
take it down and walk toward the poison river for a surprising cut
scene, make 100% sure you do not stay in front of the spiderwomen or you
are bound to be poisoned. Jump over to the left rocks and cross to the
other side with the save crystal. Forward and to the right is another
rock hop over to two torches that contain holy water and a roast. Back
at the intersection, go on toward the signs and take a right. Hit the
stone with the dagger to reveal cures, purifyies and roasts. Back on the
left path, take he lift up and at the intersection. If you go to far
left, there will be a moon crest door, inside is the contract and the
knife. Clear to the right of the intersection is a ledge with burning
fires.
Make your way across the odd stone and poison water to the other side
with a torch directly to the left. At the intersection, if you take a
right you will come upon a sun door and inside is the cross and two
roasts. The left way takes you to more rock crushers. Before the
crushers is a torch containing a powerup. After the caskets, rock
crushers and treadmills is another save crystal. Toward the end is a
slew of bats and a red gondola. Hop on and prepare for some bone pillars
on the ride, crosses work all too well here. Once you get the chance to
get off, look back from where you came, those yellow bars that you saw
moving past you earlier can come and knock you off, so when you so one,
just jump over it. Wait of the platform and fend yourself from the
specters until a blue gondola arrives and get on, making sure not to
fall onto the bloody spikes below. Bone pillars and lost souls will
distract you and try to push you off so do your best to see ahead. At
the end of the ride, walk off and use the save crystal to the right.
Go up the orange lift and once at the top take out the bats. Manage
your way across the poison, making sure to kill all bats before jumping.
More spiderwomen await you on the other side. To the left of the
intersection is a moon crest door with holy water and a sun card. To the
right of the intersection and straight ahead is the sun door, the exit
to the level.
In the following room, Rosa tries to kill herself. Schneider stops her,
and then is left in the room with the silence of the fans. Leave.
========================================================
[14] )))))))))))))))) Castle Center ((((((((((((((((((((
========================================================
At the beginning, go forward and use the save crystal. Now take the
right path (while hitting the moto skeletons) and then take the door to
the right which leads to a cage and vent room full vampires. Long range
weapons do wonders because sometimes the vampires will not even move,
and just take the hits! Now climb up the stairs and open up the caged
doorway, and continue upward. Check the angelic statue to the left of
the room for a cut scene involving much blood. Kill the Bloodborn and
then move on to the next set of stairs and trek upward.
When in the upper hallway, check the knight and take the door to the
north. Check the knight here as well for a good item and try to to kill
two to four sword lizards in order to exit the room. The torch at the
end of the room holds a helpful moon card. In the following room check
the knight for a roast and then jump up to the save crystal. Continue on
to the room with glass knights and many red jewels. Beyond that room is
the dreaded butler vampire room, which contains many things that get in
your way and make it hard to see the vamps. Do your best to get out of
the submissions and kill'em to exit, make sure to search the torch for a
purify.
The next section holds many fire walls, but many can just be avoided by
jumping through. Take the left way to get the cure ampoule and then take
a right and another right for a roast. Past the door is friendly lizard
man, talk to him to get the torture room key, then open the door to the
left of the room. Here you will see a cut scene with... MALUS?? I tell
ya, that boy just ain't right. Pick up the nitro on the shelf here, but
do not jump or get hit in any way, the result is instant death. Go to
the lion fire spitting hallway and check around for a cracked wall.
Place the nitro here and continue on. The broken stairs below prevent
you from taking the nitro elsewhere. Now return to the very beginning of
the level and after the cage and vent room, take a left then a right to
the torture room. Defeat the vampires (use that control stick!!) and get
the Mandragora in the jar on the shelf in the back.
Go back to the moto skeleton area and continue far down the hall and
enter through the large double doors. Here you will find a large
sleeping bull and a large crack in the back of the arena. Go all the way
up to the crack and search it. Place the Mandragora down and now return
back to the torture room for MORE Mandragora. Return to the crack in the
wall by the friendly lizard man and set the Mandragora on the wall.
Watch the cut scene and then when the sparks and smoke settle whip the
torch for the roast. Enter through the right door and use the contract
if needed. Beyond is the library, climb one of the shelves and crab the
sun card, then on the second level jump up on the box mechanism to open
the ceiling right above you, jump up to the third level and hit the box
again on this level to open the ceiling above you again.
Once in the observatory, go over to the machine near the middle and
enter 2,4,8 to activate the amazing cut scene. The seal is now broken on
the arena wall, allowing you to blow it up now. You should now save at
the save crystal on the other side of the observatory. Return to the red
carpeted hallway with the gold knight and take the eastern door this
time to enter the clockwork room. Make your way to the across the gears
and then past the "bridge" to the stairs and upward. A guardian knight
to the right will come alive and challanage you, dispose of him from a
distance and enter the next door. Careful not to rush into this cafe,
two maid vampires await. If you have any distance weapons, use them. The
vampires will not move and take the hits without putting up a fight.
Check the tables for a cure and purify. Beyond this room is the
invention area, jump upon the small model of the three towers and then
on the blimp hanging from the center of the room for a roast. Check the
torch near the exit for a sun card. In the next room you will face a
ceiling of spikes. Wait till the ones in front of you rise and time the
next one after it to see if it rises slightly after the ones directly in
front of you. Here lies another fire spitter hallway, if you brave the
fires you can get a roast. In the final room lies the other side where
Malus was earlier. Save at the crystal and then pick up the nitro.
Ok, now for one of the most difficult parts of the game. You have to
get back to the arena and place the nitro without jumping or getting hit
once. Cute. Brave the spiked ceiling and then beware of the two
guardians knights that come alive in the invention area. Beyond, make
careful steps and make your way across the small bridge and don't slow
down to much at the corners, many of them fall below. The fire spitters
often miss so try not to freak out if you here a fireball being
launched. Onward is the gears, move into the first one and then at the
junction of the two gears, wait till one of the gears goes into the
socket of the first gear and then walk closely to get out. The only real
danger after this are the motor skeletons, so use the pillars for
defense. Now plant the nitro at the crack in the wall in the arena and
after the explosion go into the next room and SAVE. Use the crystals
magic power and use the contract in the other corner if needed. Walk
back out into the arena and encounter a predictable surprise.
!!!!!!!!!!!
BOSS: Bull Of Fury
!!!!!!!!!!!
When the bull stands on it's hind legs LOOK OUT! He will fire a yellow
beam and make a massive gun blade style explosion. The bull will also
try to thrust and ram you, but if you remain jumping to the left and
right or even in circles, he often will miss. The blue beam is a danger
because of the range so make sure to jump when you see the blue
extending. Long range weapons are your salvation here since the bull
often runs far away into the arena and then back. Try to concentrate on
the head area, the bull will die much quicker this way and leave roasts
behind as well. After the battle save and head back to the vent room. In
the next cutscene Rosa introduces Death (who appears in many Castlevania
games before this) and then begins a battle.
!!!!!!!!!!!
BOSS: Rosa
!!!!!!!!!!!
You knew it would happen sooner or later, at the beginning jump back
and out of the middle to avoid the shockwave attack. Move close to avoid
the flaming arrows by moving FAR back. Keep moving during the entire
fight. Thankfully Rosa does not have a high hit rate, so taking here
down with few hits is common. If you are far away enough, the sword
attack can be seen a mile away, so move to Rosa side to avoid a
slashing. After the fight, Death will intervene and take Rosa away.
Head upstairs and hit the red switch in the middle to activate the
elevator in the center. Climb on and at the top use the save crystal.
Now use the only available bridge left and enter the next stage, fending
off the medusa heads just before.
========================================================
[15] ))))))))) Dual Towers (Schneider Only) ((((((((((((
========================================================
From the beginning it starts out as beautiful, river flowing below,
candles burning in the distance and colors changing nicely. Move to the
center of the area and prepare to get jumped by a Dark Cheetah.
!!!!!!!!!!!
Mid-BOSS: Dark Cheetah
!!!!!!!!!!!
The Cheetah moves much like a werewolf, but this time you have no were
to run because of the caged area. Try to get close to him, and move to
the side when he rears up for an attack. Take whatever opening you can
get on him. The ceiling is dropping during the fight so kill as quick as
possible and run to the right side and jump onto the emerging platforms.
Make your way upward and jump onto the roof. Make a far jump and then
another to the spinning saws. Duck when needed and quickly move to the
next bout.
!!!!!!!!!!!
Mid-BOSS: Werewolf
!!!!!!!!!!!
One odd tactic I used was to smack it with crosses close to it and it
would just make a sweep kick which always missed. Hurry along on this
fight as well and when it is over move to the left side and jump on the
new platforms. Once on the top platform, make sure you are high above
the earlier arena and that you can see torches in the distance. Make a
leap of faith forward to grab onto an invisible walkway to the side.
Walk over to the torches for a roast and a powerup. Look over the edge
and check out where the platforms to the die of one of the towers leads
down to the river. Take this way down, or try your luck making it in a
complete square. If you take the lower path, you will come across
platforms that lower into the river but make easy jumps. On the other
side make your way up the tower and if you decide to, you can go back
and fight a green minotaur mini boss or go on through the next platforms
and fight a WereTiger.
!!!!!!!!!!!
Mid-BOSS: Aqua Minotaur
!!!!!!!!!!!
This mini boss is a bit slow compared to the others and often charges
up his attacks. Take advantage of this and never stand in his way. Not a
difficult fight.
!!!!!!!!!!!
Mid-BOSS: WereTiger
!!!!!!!!!!!
Back from the dead comes the first mid-boss, the WereTiger. Avoid
running in circles, like the camera wants you to, and use your whip on
the beast. If you get to close, he will pick you up and throw you across
the arena. After the battle jump onto the platforms and onto the roof.
Make the jumps onward and time them so you are not caught in the saws.
Now make one last jump and head to the left for the (apply applause
here) EXIT !!! Good riddance you non-saving-insane-jumping-son-of-a-gun
level!
========================================================
[16] )))))) Tower Of Execution (Schneider Only) ((((((((
========================================================
Look a save crystal! Haven't seen one of those for awhile! From the
very start you can probley see how this level got it's name. Walk
forward and clear the blades, and beware of the blades that drop down by
the bloody slits in floor in the center. Take the right side and jump on
past through the platforms. Kill the bone pillars and then time your
jumps on the moving platforms, staying at the end and fending off the
flying creatures.
At the end, get on what look to be a lift and jump up to the next
level. Move on and kill the bats and bone pillar to get back to the
center. Take the right path and avoid the blades. After the simple
jumping on the moving platforms, you will come up to a save crystal.
In the back of the save crystal are some more "lifts" that you can jump
up from to get to a higher level and see the locked gate. Move to the
center avoiding the blades, go around and hit the blood skeleton and the
take a right. Now here are some challenging moving platforms, so stay at
the ends and keep jumping non-stop, taking time to kill the bone pillar.
Once at the next blood skeleton, continue on to the iron maiden and
whack it to get the Execution Key. Making your way back down to the gate
is not an easy task, but if you want the second costume, you must
attempt it. Once you unlock the gate, go down and hit both iron maidens
for a roast and cross. Jump down to the right on the ledge below to get
to the iron maiden containing the second special jewel. Now just walk
off to the left of the platform on the invisible pathway. Make your way
clear to the top and up the stairs to the Room Of Clocks.

========================================================
Castlevania incorporates many of it's classic enemies with all new
baddies. Heads roll, blood flies and seeing someone on fire is common.
Here is some descriptions of a few of the horrors so far.
Rating System:
Peon - The weakest and easiest of the enemies.
Grunt - The norm for the common enemy.
Ogre - It is Godzilla! We must flee the city!
------------
|| Skeleton ||
------------
Level: Peon
The classic bone man.
The skeletons come in a few more forms for this installment, alone they
are easy as pie, in numbers they can become a problem.
Common Death: Top torso is ripped in half, ashes to ashes.
---------------------
|| Explosive Skeleton ||
---------------------
Level: Grunt
A blue version of the common skeleton that hisses with a fuse.
This ones for the Alamo! These bone heads often just run into you
causing a massive explosion and serious damage. Keep your distance and
fire!
Common Death: Look at the purdy fireworks!
----------------
|| Vampire Bats ||
----------------
Level: Peon
Small Black and red bats that go down in one hit.
These little ones are simple to take out with the dagger (and sorta fun)
but they maneuver fast and come in numbers at times.
Common Death: A large spray of blood will fill the air.
------------
|| Werewolf ||
-----------
Level: Ogre
One Bad@$$ mother. Has blue pants and bandanna.
This one is tricky. The werewolf can unleash multiple combo from the air
and ground, avoid a fight with this one is often wise. Still it is
beatable.
Common Death: Howls and turns into a purple fire.
-----------------------
|| Motorcycle Skeletons ||
-----------------------
Level: Grunt
Name says it all, born to be wild baby.
Well this confuses many people but it almost makes since to me... At
least it was closer a time then in, say, the 14th century. Anyhow, these
skeletons move swiftly and often come at your at odd angles.
Common Death: Lets just say wearing his helmet wouldn't have helped
much.
--------------
|| Bone Pillar ||
--------------
Level: Grunt
A dragons bone head on a stick.... What more could you want?
The pillar has two attacks. The first is the long range flame attack,
the other is the close range toasting. Long range attacks are your best
bet here, hopefully you are also somewhat powered up. It is worth
killing them at most areas.
Common Death: Turns a DARK red and is engulfed in flames.
--------------
|| Hell Hound ||
--------------
Level: Grunt
A large K-9 with three heads.
The Hell Hound often moves in packs, not a good thing. Most just pounce
you but a few use a fire attack similar to around three holy waters
combined. the Cross is the ideal weapon here.
Common Death: Roll over! Speak! Stay! PLAY DEAD! Good Boy!
--------------
|| Lost Souls ||
--------------
Level: Peon
Small blue flaming floating skulls, every game should have them.
Not much to mention of these except that they often have the ability to
sneak up on you. If you played the clock tower in the PSX Castlevania,
you will have noticed they were MUCH bigger.
Common Death: The normal fade away death...
----------------
|| Lost Specters ||
----------------
Level: Peon
Mindless ghosts that float high above.
Mostly these are harmless but they mostly come in big numbers. Try to
keep the camera focused on them, they often run and disappear.
Common Death: Also another fade away death...
-----------
|| Vampires ||
-----------
Level: Ogre
The crazy zombies vampires from mars. The bloodsucking stops here!
"LET GO OF MMMMMEEEE!!!" Vampires come in many forms from villagers to
servants, they all are blood suckers in the end. If you are caught in a
suck grip, move the control stick around and hope you get out. You can
cure your status with Purifying.
Common Death: Burns and turns into a bat to fly away. Love that scream!
----------------
|| Glass Knights ||
----------------
Level: Grunt
Stain glass creations, flat and sneaky.
While the glass knights are not powerful, they are silent. They may rise
from the ground and attack you from behind. Not a difficult task to
kill.
Common Death: Glass + Whip/Blast = shards everywhere!
----------------
|| Stone Hounds ||
----------------
Level: Ogre ++
Think the evil dogs from the original ghostbusters.
Well these guys are just no fun. Defeating them is impossible and if
they catch up to you (which they will) they can turn your legs to stone.
Jump often to avoid them and move faster, then if stoned use your dagger
or rings to swipe them away.
Common Death: N/A
------------------
|| Chainsaw Franky ||
------------------
Level Orge +++
Frankenstein is back, and now he has a chainsaw!
It just does not get get any worse then this. Frank cannot be killed, so
trying to hit him is not a good idea unless you are just trying to
escape. Holy water is your best bet here. Run, Vampire Killer, Run!
Common Death: N/A
--------------
|| Spiderwomen ||
--------------
Level: Grunt
Half top woman body, lower legs of a spider.
Some spit out acid and poison, other swipe with a spear. No matter how
many you kill, they mostly will keep coming. Running away is often the
best choice since no award is given.
Common Death: Chokes on own poison and then the lower body turns red.
------------
|| Bloodborn ||
------------
Level: Peon
A T-1000 blood edition.
The bloodborn rises from a puddle of blood and unleashes acid, you
guessed it, blood. Nothing hard at all since it carries a low hit rate.
Common Death: Soaks back into darkened pool of blood.
----------------
|| Sword Lizards ||
----------------
Level: Grunt
A grey/green lizard that carries a small sword.
The lizard man comes in separate forms, this one involves shields and
swords. It also tends to spit acid out of it's mouth so try to stay
close, not provoking the spit attack.
Common Death: Is thrown onto it's back and squeals it's last breath.
---------------
|| Fire Lizards ||
---------------
Level: Grunt +
A deep red lizard man that spits fire and carries a sword.
These lizard men often stay in one place, but spit out fire in ALL
directions so beware if taking any chances while holding nitro. They
cannot be killed so dropping down to kill them is worthless.
Common Death: N/A
------------------
|| Guardian Knight ||
------------------
Level: Grunt
Large gold, grey or reddish knights that come alive.
Often most guardian knights will not come alive but when they do, stay
back because they hold a powerful reach.
Common Death: Head flies back as body turns to ashes.
--------------
|| Medusa Head ||
--------------
Level: Peon
Small dumb looking floating heads of the snake haired Medusa.
Easy foe but often comes out fast and from the fog. Use the cross to hit
multiple targets.
Common Death: Turns into small pieces and vanishes.
-----------------
|| Blood Skeleton ||
-----------------
Level Peon +
A deep red skeleton who hurls bones toward you.
This one mostly stays in it's place and hurls bone after bone toward
you. Hit it twice or so and run past it, it cannot be defeated since it
will get back up after a short time.
Common Death: N/A

Running Time: 14 Seconds
Aired On: MTV & FOX
The spot begins with a gritty shot of someone sharpening a crude stake.
The Stake is then slid into the belt of a man in a long trench coat. A
quick shot of a Vail of Holy water appears and is also slid into the
belt. Without warning a metal cross (I love the sound it makes) is
flipped and slid into the side of the belt. Then we get a quick shot of
Schneider (the actors face is in the shadows) and then the womans
narration begins "Killer Outfit..." The Metal cross shines and moves the
shot to an actual gameplay shot of a coffin lid blowing off and then
Schneider meeting a zombie/vampire "too bad the night life sucks..."
Shot of the first skeleton boss "Castlevania..." Shot of dying dragon
"for the Nintendo 64, from Konami." Shot of the Castlevania title and
Schneider taking a nice whiff *spew* of a bag of garlic.
