Walkthrough tells you everything you need to do to rescue
the hostages beat the bosses and get along in this great game.
This Walkthrough is designed for playing with Richter with
Richter the game is more challenging than Maria so enjoy!
---------------------------
2. Info about the game
---------------------------
This
game is one of the best castlevania game ever made it was
release only in Japan for the Super CD-ROM2 System and never
ported to the U.S.
-------------------------
3. Walkthrough
-------------------------
This
section is divided in 13 sub-sections called Stage 0,1,2,2'
and so on.
----------------------
Stage 0
Prologue
Boss: Death
---------------------
This
stage is the prologue of the game here Death will come and
attack after you whip him a couple of times it will shoot
you a large skull thing and after you whip it or jump it or
whatever he will say something and leave.
--------------------------
Stage 1
The Burning town of veros
Boss: Wyvern
Secret Boss: Serpent
---------------------------
This
is where the game really begins at first you will fight ape
skeletons and one skeleton I forgot the name of it I only
know it also appear in symphony at the middle of the stage
you will find a wall and a door on the other side if you break
the wall you will find the secret way and fight the serpent
if you choose to go the normal way you will arrive at the
gates of castlevania and fight the
wyvern.
-------------------------
Stage 2
Entrance to Demon Castle
Boss: Werewolf
-------------------------
This
level is a recreation of the first level of the original castlevania
so I don't have to talk or type here is where Maria is being
held near the mermen's lair you need a key you will find it
in the hellhound chase when the chase starts the second candle
has the key so you don't need to be whipping every candle
with that hellhound and the zombies up to you back.
----------------------
Stage 2'
The lake bridge
Boss: Bone Golem
------------------------
This
stage is a bridge this level has many secrets the only thing
you need to know is where to drop down but don't worry I will
tell you exactly where to drop down and you won't have a problem.
In the first part is straight forward so when you reach the
second part the bridge sometimes collapses in the first part
it collapses if you drop down there will be a ferryman (yes
the same one as symphony) will take you right to stage 3'
but the mermen are a pain in the *** will try to make harder
your way but if you want to go and fight the boss of this
stage in a place where there's a bone bridge after that in
the first hole you drop and then you fight a armor lord and
go right to fight the bone golem.
----------------------
Stage 3
The Chapel
Boss: Minotaurus
-----------------------
Well
this stage reminds me of symphony the royal chapel well this
place is a disgrace to its name it has become a devil's chapel
well this stage is straightforward so good luck.
---------------------
Stage 3'
The Cemetery
Boss: Dogether
---------------------
This
stage is like its name says the cemetery here is where the
men that Dracula has killed are being keep here in the beginning
of the stage you will find a 3 eyed monster just whip out
every eye and he's done for tera is hidden somewhere finally
I have found where tera is bieng held in the first part of
the stage there's a door and below is a wall break the wall
in order of up to down and then go down the ladder that is
indicated with a red piece of wood when you get to a place
with maceballs swigging if you whip the chain of it it will
drop if you whip the one in the middle it will break the floor
below and give you access to the dogether the boss of this
secret stage if not you will fight the minotuar.
-------------------------------
Stage 4
The inner halls of Castlevania
Boss: Dullaron
-------------------------------
This
stage is very hard until you get used to it this stage has
nasty traps and enemies and that not all here there's nasty
traps this stage has no secrets (that I know) is pretty Straightforward
so I only have one thing to say Good Luck!!!
--------------------
Stage 4'
The mountain range
Boss: Carmilla
--------------------
This
stage is pretty short if you go the right way if not you will
find it pretty long and hard here is where iris is being to
rescue her in the second part of the stage there's 3 frog
statues just whip the first and the last one and a path will
open for you then you can go down to a mermen's lair and there's
her cell. When you got past the first section catch a raft
so you go the right way
-------------------
Stage 5
The ghost ship
Boss: Death
-------------------
This
stage is hard is frustrating is wonderful at last a stage
that has give me real problem this stage is pretty straightforward
there not major secrets and nothing special just a pain in
the *** flea riders and Death one of the most hard bosses
in the entire game.
--------------------
Stage 5'
The hidden docks
Boss: None
--------------------
This
level is hard to get access to it because you only can access
it only after you have beaten the game only only and this
level although it doesn't have a boss it is really hard but
is pretty forward and there's no secret to uncover.
-------------------------
Stage 6
The Guardians
Bosses: Bat,Medusa,
Mommy man, Frankestein,
Shaft
-------------------------
This
stage looks hard but when you get the pattern of attacks of
every boss is pretty easy and shaft could'nt be easier. The
only problem is by the time you have killed the other 4 bosses
you are almost dead but thanks that Konami to it this way
you don't have to fight the 4 bosses again just shaft.
---------------------
Stage 7
The Clock Tower
Boss: Shaft's Ghost
--------------------
This
level is the same hear me the SAME as in playstation even
the enemies are the same (altrhruogh there's has to be atleast
one difference) here is where Annette is being held at first
you will walk into a crumbling bridge then you enter the tower
on top of the first screen there's a gear and a door whip
it until it drop and the door opens theirs is a hawk guarding
the key needed to free Annette so kill the hawk and take the
key then you will reach a screen with the @#@$ hawk women
they are as in symphony so kill them as quick as you can if
not they will kill you on the next screen there's Annette's
cell go there and free her then go all the way up and you
will reach another familiar area (hey what area in this stage
isn't familiar) and here are this guys with enormous sword
when they swing and hit you send you across the screen then
after this you will reach a room before the boss the most
(if you don't know how to fight it) difficult boss in the
entire game shaft's ghost.
--------------------
Final Stage
The Rondo of Blood
Boss: Dracula
-------------------
This
is the final stage and the first of Symphony you may be asking
why I don't put the translated name of the stage like the
one in symphony because the same kanji in the box of the game
are the same in the name in this stage so well in this stage
there's a secret stair just like symphony just a little bit
different besides that is the final showdown with Dracula
so Good Luck!!!!!!
-----------------------
4. Bosses Strategies
-----------------------
Stage
0: Death
Just
whip him until he leaves this boss doesn't much effort.
Stage
1: Wyvern
Well
this boss is rather easy just pick up the axe and axe him
to death but go crazy and start doing the item crush it doesn't
do much damage and take 10 hearts.
Stage
1': Serpent
This
boss is hell but I have found a trick so don't worry just
pick up the cross and get sure you have atleast 15 hearts
or 30 is recommended when it starts jumping around the screen,
it will come and fire you some water here's your chance do
the item crush if you do it correctly you should take more
than half of its energy bar ehh pretty cool if you have enough
hearts to do it again then wait again when it fires the water
and the serpent will be done for.
Stage
2: Werewolf
This
boss is nasty keep your distance at all times when he does
the ball attack surprise him with a whip the recommended weapons
for this boss are the holy water and the cross.
Stage
2': Bone Golem
This
boss looks nasty remember it only looks nasty but is pretty
easy grab the cross (with the cross I have beaten all the
bosses in this game except for the wyvern and dullah) this
boss has 3 forms the first whip it in the head then the second
is a flying skeleton do the item crush then the 3rd form looks
very familiar to the big globe of people of symphony just
smaller.
Stage
3: Minotaur
This
boss is like the werewolf just keep your distance when he
attack beware of his breath he haven't brush for a week :)
well his breath can turn you into stone but after that is
easy.
Stage
3': Dogether
This
boss can't get any easier because you only need the cross
and 30 hearts do the item crush 2 times and it's history man.
Stage
4: Dullahah
Ahh
another nasty boss watch his head because it can curse you
this boss has a variety of attacks all of then nastier of
any of the werewolf so keep your distance and when you get
a chance whip him as much as you can.
Stage
4': Carmilla
This
boss is easy just whip the flying skull 'til it dies then
whip the woman a couple of times and its over man.
Stage
5: Death
This
time Death will no go easy on you no my friend this boss in
its first form is somewhat easy but when you reach his energy
to half it will go to the background and shoot skulls at you
when you evade all the skulls he transform into the nastiest
boss ever this time death has his axe and when swing and hits
its homerun man keep you distance at all times when he dies
you will see a funny death sequence.
Stage
6: Bat, Medusa, Mummy, Frankenstein, Shaft
Well
this stage is rather hard but for me is pretty easy just grab
the cross and follow my instructions.
The
bat
This
bat the only thing you have to do here is just whip like there's
no tomorrow but be sure to be whipping it ok.
Medusa
Ahhh
this one is more easy just crounch and whip her when you see
that her tail is moving quickly get far and repeat this procces
you should kill her with less than 2 hits.
Mummy
man
Same
as the medusa just when he calls the blocks use the item crush
so you as the same time you do damage you don't have to worry
about jumping the blocks
Frankenstein
This
boss act like the one in castlevania 3 just it fires a lightning
bolt but that is the only difference
Shaft
This
boss couldn't be easier just whip him every time you can and
avoid the green globes at all times specially the ones that
are lightning.
Stage
7: Shaft Ghost
This
boss is nasty if you don't know how to act but always try
that he doesn't calls the flying skeleton always try that
he calls the hellhound its much easier to evade and evade
the bats in this room.
Final
Stage: Dracula
This
fight is just like the one in symphony of the night so you
know what you have to do ahh the blue demon that Dracula turns
into it cannot be hit anywhere its have to be in the head.
Good Luck!!!!!!!
-----------------------------
5 . Item Crush and Weapons
----------------------------
Richter's
weapons
Axe
-1 heart
This weapon is great it does great damage and for aerial foes
is a must have weapon.
Item
Crush 10 hearts
The item crust of this weapon is a great number of axes rotating
Richter that expand to the end of the screen.
Knife
- 1 heart
This weapon is fast but pretty weak stay away from this at
all cost.
Item
Crush 10 hearts
Richter creates a solid stream of knives for about 5 seconds
or so the damage inflicted its not so great.
Cross
or boomerang - 1 heart
This is my weapon of choice it does medium damage and its
item crush is the one that most damage inflicts.
Item
Crush 15 hearts
This is like symphony but instead of the crucifix be flying
in around you they fly trough the screen.
Holy
water - 1 heart
This weapon its another of my favorites it is thrown in the
ground and the fires goes the direction that you are facing
in that moment.
Item
Crush 20 hearts
The item crush of this weapon is the hydro storm of symphony
the difference is that in symphony it does a paramount damage
here doesn't do much damage.
The
Bible - 3 hearts
Ahh another item only found in symphony the only difference
is that here the bible moves in spiral trough the end of the
screen.
Item
Crush 10 hearts
This item crush is one of the most weaker in the entire game
so the weapon is great but never waste your 10 hearts doing
the item crush.
The
pocket Watch - 5 hearts
This weapon only slowdown not stopping just slowdown the movements
of the enemies on the screen and there's enemies that doesn't
affect so stay away from
this one.
Item
Crush 25 hearts
Besides to be the weapon that more hearts waste its has the
most short item crush it only does a shield of time protecting
Richter nothing more.
