Castlevania Cheats
for Nintendo 64

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.

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.

Finding Secrets

If you press the ACTION button when in front of most statues you will recieve a roast chicken or a roast beef. Sometimes reading the clues on these staues 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.

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 unaccessible HARD difficulty mode.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 dissapears. 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.

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!

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!

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. Theres a chicken one way and then go the other way and climb the ledges to
fight the last guy!
