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.

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.

Secret Torch

When you reach the entrance tot he garden maze, turn right and look up.
You can see a platform. There is an invisible ledge in front that you can pull yourself onto.

HINT: The invisible ledge is also a good place to attack the hounds from once you open the gates.

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.

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.

Alternate Endings
By: Chris Drifill (o2byzst@aol.com)

What ending you get depends on two things. First, how many sun and moon cards you use throughout the game. Using too many of these cards will cause Vincent to be turned into a vampire, and you will face him in the second chamber on your way to the final battle with Dracula. If you encounter Vincent, you will get the okay ending.

The other is by home much money you spend. If you buy around 30,000 worth of items from Renon, he will appear in the first chamber on your way to Dracula, and you will then be forced to fight him. By doing this you will get to fight a few more versions of Dracula, and get the supreme ending.

Alternate Costumes
By: Chris Drifill (o2byzst@aol.com)

*To access these costumes you must beat the game with each characters special Crystal.

Reinhardt: His special crystal is on the level "Tower of Execution" it is behind the locked Tower of Execution gate. Once you get the key, return to that point, open the gate, and hit the coffin that is lowered and alone off to the right. This will get you Special 2. By beating the game with this, you get his additional costume. To access it, hold Up on the joystick, then Press A when choosing Reinhardt.

Carrie: Her Special Crystal is on the level "Tower of Socercy" it is near the very end of the level, on a floating platform that has no apparent way to reach. Simply take another leap of faith, hit the torch, get Special 2. By beating the game with this, you get her additional costume. To access it, hold Up on the joystick, then Press A when choosing Carrie.

Hard Mode
By: Chris Drifill (o2byzst@aol.com)

You can access the hard difficulty setting by collecting a special green crystal in the first stage, the Forest of Silence. This Crystal is near a huge canyon, and a switch. It appears as a purple torch sitting on a platform in midair. To reach it, simply face the platform and jump as far as you can. You will land on an invisible platform and after hitting the torch, you receive Special 1. By beating the game with this crystal (and saving), you will be awarded Hard mode.
