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! -Antookis ======================================================== [2] )))))))))))))))) Version Updates ((((((((((((((((((( ======================================================== Version 1.3 2/12/99 - Fourth edition of FAQ/Walkthru. - Changed Main ACSII Art Title. - More levels added for Walkthru. - Cast section updated with better loook, mmore characters and more info. - Enemy Glossary IMPROVED Version 1.2 2/1/99 - Third edition of FAQ/Walkthru. - Added Endings and Replay features. - Enemy list section added. - GameShark Codes section added. - Minor changes made to Walkthru, Thannx, HHistory and Multimedia.

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 Main Weapon: Energy Blast Second Weapon: Razor Rings 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. ======================================================== [5] ))))))))))))))))))) Options ((((((((((((((((((((((( ======================================================== Here are the options Castlevania offers from the start screen.

Mono 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. ======================================================== [6] )))))))))))))))) Location Guide ((((((((((((((((((( ======================================================== ________________________________________________________ |Carrie | Schneider| ----------------------------------------------------------- Forest Of Silence ------------------- Yes --- Yes ---| Castle Wall ------------------------- Yes --- Yes ---| Villa ------------------------------- Yes --- Yes ---| Garden ------------------------------ Yes --- Yes ---| Caves ------------------------------- No --- Yes ---| Underground Waterway ---------------- Yes --- No ---| Castle Main ------------------------- Yes --- Yes ---| Duel Tower -------------------------- No --- Yes ---| Tower Of Science -------------------- Yes --- No ---| Tower Of Execution ------------------ No --- Yes ---| Tower Of Sorcery -------------------- Yes --- No ---| Room Of Clocks ---------------------- Yes --- Yes ---| Clock Tower ------------------------- Yes --- Yes ---| Castle Keep ------------------------- Yes --- Yes ---| ----------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================== [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
