Get God's Armor
At the begining input the name 'MEPHISTO' to get the Gods Armor for Alucard remember to finish the game with over 199.2%for this to work
Get the Fist of Tulkas
In the inverted castle, go to the library and into the room which has all of the characters from the Wizard of Oz (i.e. the Lion, Scarecrow, and Tin Man) Beat the lion repeatedly to eventually recieve the Fist of Tulkas, possibly one of the most versatile weapons in the game. Although by itself, it is only useful at close range, using it's special skills opens up its true potential. Press down+down/forward+forward+ attack to throw a fireball, and also you can press back+back/down+down+down/forward+forward+atta ck to see a display of the "one-hundred fists" attack.
210.1% Score
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.

Axe Lord Armor
After beating the game once, start a new game and enter your name as AXEARMOR. You'll find a cool new suit of armor in your inventory.
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 killing him in 8 seconds!

Bonus Soundtrack
Put the Castlevania CD into any regular CD player. Play Track 2, and you'll hear a special 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.
Fiddle with the Logo
When the words NOW LOADING are on screen, you can manipulate them with the d-pad.
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 Cloaked knights (flying knights that toss their swords at you). If you have two of these, equip one in each hand and press both square and circle to activate the special attack.
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.
Music Select
To gain access to the excellent soundtracks, complete the game (fully, with over 190%) with Alucard and restart a brand new game with Alucard (do not cover over the old one). When you get to the Librarian, simply walk up to him and a music select option will appear with the 'buy/sell' box.
Play as Richter
After beating the game once, start a new game and enter your name as RICHTER. You can play now as Richter Belmont.
Secret Rooms
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
Use the Demon Familiar to flip the switch after the Cerberas Boss to reveil a room. Do the same in the inverted castle.
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.
Weapon Special Attacks
There are many special attack that are based on weapons in this game. They all use the same basic combination...down, down-forward, forward, X (or O if the weapon is in that hand). I have listed as many weapons as I could find that use this.
Firebrand-Summon a ring of fire, then strike at a medium range with a powerful fire attack.
Thunderbrand-Lightning flare from the tip of the sword, and strikes with a medium range thunder attack.
Icebrand-Basically the same as the first two, but with ice
Were-bane-You know that thing the hunter girl's do with the sword? The elaborate Zorro-type thing? Now you can do that too!
Shotel-you throw the stupid thing
Alucard sword-Teleport across the screen and cut down your foe with a double swipe.
Holy Sword-A flash of brilliance, and a swing of the sword. A very painful holy attack.
Moon Rod-Summons four crescent moon thingys to attack a foe.
