Gods 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 Gods 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.
