Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Cheat Codes (for Playstation)

[final kaoss]

210.1% Score in the Japanese Version

To get 210.1%, go to the Royal Chapel in the first castle. Go to the
long vertical place where the confession room (the room with the
chairs and you hear the bells) is at your right and the left leads to
the large sword. Stand in the left side, but don't go in, equip the
sword familiar and do half-circle forward and up-left and hold UP
for two seconds then press DOWN + SQUARE (Sword Brothers.)

When the sword is spinning transform into a bat and go to the left
doorway. If your timing is right you should go *through* the wall
and be able to fly around the castle.

IMPORTANT: To obtain 210% you must have your sword familiar
maxed out to level 99 with 99 experience points. If this is not
acheived, the cheat doesnt work.

Re: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Beat Doppleganger Easily

Okay, for players who have a hard time with Doppleganger
(the Alucard look-alike), hit him so he lands in a
corner, and repeatedly jump at him and attack. He will
reliably jump into your blade repeatedly. This works on
both the Light and Dark Castle Doppleganger.

OR

Before you fight the doppleganger in the second castle,
equip the Medusa Shield. Hit the doppleganger with the
Medusa Shield, and he will turn to stone. Attack him
mercilessly with your weapon until he turns back to
flesh, then use the shield on him again.

Re: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Beating Galamoth

Here is an easy way to kill Galamoth. First find the
Alucard Shield and the Shield Rod. Equip them both
before you take him on. As soon as he starts to stand up,
activate the Shield Rod combo (Square+Circle). When you
stop flashing, run toward Galamoth so only the Alucard
Shield is touching his leg. Great deals of HP will be
taken away from him. I tried this and ended up DESTROYING
him in 8 seconds!!!!

Re: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Easy Familiar Experience

Ok, easy way, but a bit time consuming, to get
experience for all your familiars. I believe you have
to have it beaten once first. but I may be wrong.

As you start the game, go through like you normally
would. But this time, don't but alot from the librarian.
Only get the Jewel of Open, and 1 or 2 Library Cards.
The proceed with the game.

Once you get in the inverted castle, keep going and get
AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE. Once you get 500,000 go back
to the librarian, and purchase the Duplicator. Then go
BACK to the inverted castle, and equip it. By this time,
you should have at least ONE of the Power of Sire items.
Equip that as well. Voila, you have an infinite supply
now as long as you have the duplicator equipped.

Now go to the room in the inverted church thing
(forgot the name off hand), and enter the room with the
big sword that is surrounded by spears and shields.
Use the Power of Sire, then leave the room, and go back
in, use it again, and so on and so forth. Within an
hour I had ALL my familiars powered up to 99/99.

Re: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Effortless Experience Gain

To get effortless experience follow these simple steps:

Play through the game like normal until you get your bat familar.
at this point go back to near the start of the game
where the zombies keep coming out of the ground.
then all you do is stand on the step on the stairs where
the zombies can't reach you and turn your bat familiar
on. Just make sure that you are far enough away that the
zombies won't hurt you if your familar misses one of them.
The bat familar will kill most of the zombies that
appear, also make sure you are looking in the direction
of the zombies or the bat will not hit them.
The best part about this trick is that the familar will
kill the zombies and both he and you will get the
experience making this absolutely simple in gaining
levels. In three hours my bat went from level 2 to level 60!

Re: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Explore an Inverted Castle

If you defeat the possessed Richter Belmont in Dracula's
Keep, you'll see the ending. But what you may not
realize is that this is the 'bad end', and you've only
seen half the game! To get to the real ending:

First, make sure you've gotten both rings from Maria.
The first you receive after defeating the Succubus in
the 'Nightmare' stage. The second is past the hall with
all the spikes in the Cathedral
(you need the Spike-buster Armor from the Catacombs)

Equip both rings at once in the room with the big clock,
and the floor will open. Down in this 'lair' Maria is
waiting for you once again. She'll give you a vital
piece of information.

Once all this is done,then go to Dracula's Keep and meet
Richter. He'll attack you, but you will now be able to
see a green orb floating above him. Attack the orb, but
don't kill Richter (hint: the Sword Companion will
serve you well here) After a bit of attacking, the orb
will break open, revealing everyone's favorite
loathesome 18th/19th century warlock: Shaft!

This also breaks Shaft's spell, freeing Richter from the
spirit of Dracula. Alucard will tell Richter and Maria
to escape while they can as the clouds swirl and open up,
revealing a mirror-image of the Evil Castle! Shaft
escapes into the Inverted Castle, and of course it's
Alucard's duty to chase after him!

But just when you think you know the layout already, you
find some crucial elements of the castle have been
rearranged, it's stocked with bigger and badder enemies,
and even the music has changed!

Re: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Get the Holy Glasses and all Four Endings

To get the Holy Glasses you need the gold ring
(after beating the Succubus in Nightmare, located in a
side path in the long tunnel to the underground) and the
silver ring (in the hall of spikes in the tower, you
need the Spike Buster armor from the underground.) Take
these to the clock tower and equip them. You'll get a
L-O-N-G sequence before it lets you go down. Follow the
path to find Maria, she'll give you the Holy Glasses.

Endings

1. Simply go to the castle tower and defeat Richter
without meeting Maria. Alucard will escape the destroyed
castle and say a few things before going back to his
eternal sleep.

2. Get the Holy Glasses and defeat Richter. Maria will
have also escaped and tell you she's continuing her
search for what happened to Richter.

For the 3rd and 4th endings, do this first: Get the Holy
Glasses and equip them, but DON'T kill Richter. Instead,
attack the green orb above him until it shatters. From
here you'll go to the inverted castle.

3. Defeat Dracula with anything below 200% and you'll
see Maria and Richter waiting for you outside the castle.
Maria will decide not to follow Alucard and will return
with Richter.

4. Get AT LEAST 199.1% and defeat Dracula. The others
will be waiting, but Maria will decide to follow Alucard
and try to help him cope with what he is.

Heaven Sword Special Attack

You can get Heaven Swords as a rare item by killing the

at you).If you have two of these, equip one in each hand
and press both square and circle to activate the special
attack.

Re: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Librarian's Secret Stash

To get the librarian's secret stash under his chair you
must have the super jump relic. After you have obtained
this item go to the room under his. There will be a
narrow vertical space that (when you jump into it) will
lead to a Life Max Up.

Now jump repeatedly without touching the floor, but make
sure the librarian's chair goes back on the floor. If
this is done correctly you will first get the Ring of
Arcana. If you contunue to do this you will then obtain
the Dracula Tunic and after that the Axelord Armor will
follow.

Secret Areas

Here are the locations of some of the secret rooms in
the game.

Room 1: Outer Wall
When you enter the stage from the Marble Garden, go down
to meet an Armor Lord. Beat him and go to the left.
Hack the wall on the left wall to get a Pot Roast. Stand
in the Space for 20 seconds and you will go into a room with items

Room 2: Alchemy Lab And Necromancy Lab
In the Alchemy Lab, hack the wall in the first room
going up. Inside is a Heart Max-up. The one in the
Necromancy lab of the inverted castle is in the same
spot.

Room 3: Colossem and Reverse Colossem
In the room with Blade Soldiers and Blade Masters, go to
the first pillar, face left and use a few axes to reveil a passage.

Rooms 4 and 5: Orlox's Quarters and Akmodan's Chamber
The first room is in the room with the Sprit Sword.
Go to the right to find a dead end, hack the wall to get some good items.

The second one is later in the stage. When you are in
courtyard with the Vahalla Knights,go down to the ground
and proceed left. Proceed left until you are in a room
with the bridge. Hack Every part of the wall until you
reveal the room. Do the same in Akmodan's Chamber's
(Orlox's Room in the Inverted Castle)

Room 6: Clock Tower and Reverse Clock Tower
In the room before the Birdman boss, Hack the right wall
at the top of the room.

Room 7: Pit to the Catacombs

Re: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

The Shield Rod Trick

If you have the Shield Rod you can do this trick. Equip
the rod and any shield. Then, all you have to do is hit
the left hand button and the right hand button (normaly
the O and Square buttons) simultaniously and you will do
a special move that has to do with the shield you have
equiped. Every shield does something different.
Experement with different shields to find out which one
you like. Also, when you are equiped with the shield
rod if you press back, foward, then attack Alucard
launches a star from the rod. It must do something
besides look really cool, but I haven't messed around
with it that much to find out.

Re: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

True Hellfire

There is an interesting effect if you cast the Hellfire
spell, (up, down, down-right,right and square) then
press and hold UP, AFTER the teleport, but BEFORE the
three fireballs go off. It shoots TWO of the black
fireballs demonstrated by Dracula in the opening scene.
As far as I can tell, it does no more damage, and costs
the same, but it DOES punch through targets rather than
be absorbed.

Re: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Time Attack mode Enter AXELORD as a name. When you can control Alucard, pause the game and select the "Settings" option. A "Time Attack" option will appear at the bottom. It displays what time you defeated the Bosses and received special items. This has no purpose in the game.

Nova Bomb Enter DRACULA as a name to begin with a Nova Bomb.

No Dopplegangers Enter MARIA as a name and you will not have to fight the Dopplegangers.

Play as Richter Belmont Successfully complete the game as Alucard with a 180% or higher completion and have a "Clear" saved game file. Then, start a new game and enter RICHTER as a name to 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 Axe Lord armor

Successfully complete the game as Alucard with a 180% or higher completion and have a "Clear" saved game file. Then, start a new game and enter AXEARMOR as a name for Alucard to have the blue armor that transforms your him into the axe-wielding blue knight (Axe Lord).

Start with Potion Successfully complete the game as Alucard, then start a new game and enter GHOST!!! as a name to start with a Potion.

Start with 99 luck Successfully complete the game as Alucard with a 180% or higher completion and have a "Clear" saved game file. Then, start a new game and enter X-X!V''Q as a name. Note: There are two apostrophes in the name. When the game begins, your luck will be set to 99.

Start with more intelligence Successfully complete the game as Alucard with a 180% or higher completion and have a "Clear" saved game file. Then, start a new game and enter X-X!V'' as a name. Note: There are two apostrophes in the name. When the game begins, you will have increased intelligence but decreased strength.


God's Garb Successfully complete the game as Alucard with a 200% completion. Then, start a new game and enter MEPHISTO as a name. Alternately, go to the inverted castle and enter the inverted clock tower. Go to the black marble gallery. The armor lords that guard the clock tower will drop God's Garb.

Easy Boss kills To kill most bosses rather quickly, equip the throwing knives and stand some distance away. Throw the knives as quickly as possible to deal a considerable amount of damage each time. Note: Olrox, Shaft, and Dracula will not die as easily and Richter Belmont is immune to them.

Walk through walls This trick requires two Heart Refreshes, a Duplicator, and a Library Card. Equip both of the Heart Refreshes and the Duplicator. Jump into an open doorway as if you are going to go through it. When you think you are about to go through, use one of your Heart Refreshes. While the first one is going, hold the button to activate the seconed one. When the second one is going, hold the button for first one repeatedly. You will slowly go under the ground. When you are in the floor, make sure you do not go too far down. When you are down far enough, you can move around freely.

Hidden save room Use the "Walk through walls" trick at the first area (the one with the drawbridge) and fall below the map. Go towards the drawbridge and you will fall into a hole leading to an underground cavern. There are only two ways to go; up, which leads back to the main floor, or right, which takes you to a glitched save point that does work.

sword that is surrounded by spears and shields. Use the

zombies and both he and you will get the experience

three hours my bat went from level 2 to level 60!

-Find Sword of Dawn and Great Sword:
The Sword of Dawn is hidden in the Reverce Castle.
Remember where you got the double jump relic in the
normal castle? Well, to the left of that there's a
secret breakable wall. Attack it to reveal a hidden pot
roast. But when you're in the Reverce Keep, repeat the
process to reveal the Sword of Dawn. Execute this move
to summon Dawn warriors: down,forward,then square or
Circle. Meanwhile the Great Sword can be easily obtained
by defeating a gold Armor Lord in the Reverce Castle.
It won't always work though. Keep trying.

-Easy Money:
First equip the JEWEL SWORD, and go anywhere in either
castle, (like the entrance where the zombies are) and
keep swinging until you have enogh money

Hint:
In the castle and the reverse castle, theres a monster
called parathropus with the ring of varda, wich gives
massive bonuses to all attributes (+40 to str, +30 to
int, etc.) Equip it along with the Crissaegrim, a sword
found by killing schmoos in the reverse castle and you
will be practically invincible in the game, all bosses
take only a few hits to destroy.

-Beat Doppleganger Easy:
Okay, for players who have a hard time with Doppleganger
(the Alucard look-alike), hit him so he lands in a
corner, and repeatedly jump at him and attack. He will
reliably jump into your blade repeatedly. This works on
both the Light and Dark Castle Doppleganger.

OR

Before you fight the doppleganger in the second castle,
equip the Medusa Shield. Hit the doppleganger with the
Medusa Shield, and he will turn to stone. Attack him
mercilessly with your weapon until he turns back to
flesh, then use the shield on him again

-Explore an Inverted Castle:
If you defeat the possessed Richter Belmond in Dracula's
Keep, you'll see the ending. But what you may not
realise is that this is the 'bad end', and you've only
seen half the game! To get to the real ending: First,
make sure you've gotten both rings from Maria. The first

the room with the big clock, and the floor will open.
Down in this 'lair' Maria is waiting for you once again.
She'll give you a vital piece of information. Once all
this is done, then go to Dracula's Keep and meet Richter.
He'll attack you, but you will now be able to see a
green orb floating above him. Attack the orb,
but _don't_kill_Richter_ (hint: the Sword Companion
will serve you well here) After a bit of attacking, the
orb will break open, revealing everyone's favorite
loathesome 18th/19th century warlock: Shaft! (daaaarn
right! right on, bruthaman!) This also breaks Shaft's
spell, freeing Richter from the spirit of Dracula.
Alucard will tell Richter and Maria to escape while
they can as the clouds swirl and open up, revealing a
mirror-image of the Evil Castle! Shaft escapes into the
Inverted Castle, and of course it's Alucard's duty to
chase after him! But just when you think you know the
layout already, you find some crucial elements of the
castle have been rearranged, it's stocked with bigger

• Axe armor and other items

To do this cheat you must have the gravity boots.In the right-side-up castle there is a room under the librarian's room. In this room there is a hole in the ceiling. If you gravity jump up it you push the librarians chair up.You have to keep gravity jumping under him, but you must give time between jumps. (I suggest you gravity jump after you fall back under the ceiling, before you hit the ground.) Keep doing this, though it may take a long while, you will get the axelord armor as well as dracula's tunic, and other items too.

Note: You cannot hit the ground when gravity jumping continuously. | [Sent by Dill]

Whip Lunge: left, then right and square(or vice versa)

• Cool tunes

Put the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night CD into an audio CD player. Go to the second track to hear a hidden song.

• Easy Familiar Experience

Ok, easy way, but a bit time consuming, to get experience for all your familiars. I believe you have to have it beaten once first. but I may be wrong.

As you start the game, go through like you normally would. But this time, don't but alot from the librarian. Only get the Jewel of Open, and 1 or 2 Library Cards. The proceed with the game.

Once you get in the inverted castle, keep going and get AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE. Once you get 500,000 go back to the librarian, and purchase the Duplicator. Then go BACK to the inverted castle, and equip it. By this time, you should have at least ONE of the Power of Sire items. Equip that as well. Voila, you have an infinite supply now as long as you have the duplicator equipped.

Now go to the room in the inverted church thing (forgot the name off hand), and enter the room with the big sword that is surrounded by spears and shields. Use the Power of Sire, then leave the room, and go back in, use it again, and so on and so forth. Within an hour I had ALL my familiars powered up to 99/99

• Effortless Experience Gain

To get effortless experience follow these simple steps:
Play through the game like normal until you get your bat familar. at this point go back to near the start of the game where the zombies keep coming out of the ground. Then all you do is stand on the step on the stairs where the zombies can't reach you and turn your bat familiar on. Just make sure that you are far enough away that the zombies won't hurt you if your familar misses one of them.

The bat familar will kill most of the zombies that appear, also make sure you are looking in the direction of the zombies or the bat will not hit them. The best part about this trick is that the familar will kill the zombies and both he and you will get the experience making this absolutely simple in gaining levels. In three hours my bat went from level 2 to level 60!

• Enhanced Luck

After beating the game once, start a new game and enter your name as X-X!V"Q. You'll start with 99 luck and the Lapis Lazuli item, but your strength and hitpoints will be reduced.

• Extra Options

At the name select screen, enter your name as AXELORD then go to the Settings screen

• Find Sword of Dawn and Great Sword

The Sword of Dawn is hidden in the Reverce Castle. Remember where you got the double jump relic in the normal castle? Well, to the left of that there's a secret breakable wall. Attack it to reveal a hidden pot roast. But when you're in the Reverce Keep, repeat the process to reveal the Sword of Dawn. Execute this move to summon Dawn warriors: down,forward,then square or Circle. Meanwhile the Great Sword can be easily obtained by defeating a gold Armor Lord in the Reverce Castle. It won't always work though. Keep trying.

• How to get the Crissaegrim

First, you must go to the inverted castle. From there, go to the Forbidden Library. There you will encounter some enemies called Schomoo. Those things sometimes drop Ramen and they rarely drop the most powerful sword in the game, the Crissaedrim. | [Sent by Ray]

• Play as Richter - Japanese and American

After beating the game once, start a new game and enter your name as RICHTER. You can play now as Richter Belmont.

• Second Quest

There is a second quest in this game that players may over look. Do the following steps to get access to the second quest.

Get the Spike Buster armor in the Catacombs by turning into a bat and using your radar to negotiate the "Dark Spiked Tunnel".

Go to the "Royal Chapel", equip the Spike Buster armor and run through the hallway of spikes. After the hallway, Maria will give you a Green Ring.

Use the Green Ring in the center of the Castle at the Clock Tower.

You will quickly be given a second quest.
