Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles

In order to keep your default inventory at the beginning of the game, like the Alucard Sword and Alucard Shield, reach the room where you meet Death for the first time, then walk back out or back dash out of the room. If done correctly, Death won't be there when you re-enter the room. Note: this glitch works differently from the original PS1 version.

Enter this code as your player name in the Origional Rondo of Blood game to unlock the Level Select option on the menu and skip to any Level in the game. Just like the symphony of the night Luck code, this is where it all started.

After clearing the game as Alucard for the first time, you can start special modes by entering a specific name when you select a new game.

Using Maria in stage two, fall down the first pit when the behemoth is chasing you and beat the rest of the level. You will then be taken to a secret stage three. Eventually, you will come to a point that has two paths. Take the upper path and continue along. You will soon come to a point that has platforms on the top and bottom. Break the vine at the top and continue to jump on the top platforms. Break the tombstone at the end and you can play the original version of Rondo of Blood!

The original game "Peke" was introduced in the original Chi No Rondo as a bonus game if you used the wrong System Card.

I advice to use Maria and her Dragon sub-weapon to fastly defeat the bosses.

Carefully work your way into the room where you first encounter Death so that you are just barely in the room. Then, walk back out or back dash out of the room. If done correctly Death will not catch you and he will not talk to you nor steal your items. You will still have your gear and will be ready for the next step. Simply walk back into the room where you meet Death and he will be gone. He just gives up and goes away. leaving Alucard with all his starting gear.

Richter's whip can be extended secretly! If you press forward two times just after pressing the attack button, Richter's whip will extend slightly, making it easier to hit some enemies. You'll know it works when the whip turns white during the animation. It can also be done while jumping and crouching, you just have to hold the crouch button while pressing forward two times.

Annette is located in Stage 7. You first need to rescue Terra and Iris to be able to do this.

In the first room of the clock tower section, break the red pillar statue and push the switch behind it. Next, climb to the top where there's a small cog wheel and locked door in the upper right corner. Hit the cog wheel until the door opens and enter that. In this next area, kill the hawk to obtain the key. Hold on to it for now.

Next, in the last room of the clock tower section, you'll see a locked door. DO NOT USE THE KEY here (as its a fake room) and instead proceed upward until you see a crystal pillar blocking another switch. Like before, break the pillar to push the switch. Now go back down to where the locked door is. If done correctly, a new area should have opened up below with another locked door below the first one. Open the new/lowest locked door and after a cutscene, you'll save Annette.

You can come back here again in later playthroughs to find a room with several candles that drop moneybags and the Stopwatch subweapon if you're using Richter.

If you're looking for a useful tip to get through the game easily, consider the following glitch. This glitch allows you to pass through walls, floors, across pits, and more. You can basically bypass almost everything once you fall through the floor. Useful to get through some tough areas full of annoying monsters, to obtain some items not possible early in the game and/or to obtain others easily. In order to accomplish this glitch successfully, you must first head to any staircase. Climb up to the middle of the stairs and stop. Then, walk back down to the lowest step.

From here, press down, and then quickly press backwards (pressing both simultaneously). If done properly, the character will have a foot on the stairs and another foot in or underneath or behind the floor you're trying to breach (that the stairs are connected to). When you see this, release back on the d-pad, and the character will fall completely through the floor to a glitched area underneath the stage.

If the glitch doesn't work, make sure of two things: that your character isn't facing the staircase, and that you're pressing down and backwards simultaneously. Also keep in mind that depending on where you are, the glitch may not work properly. You may get stuck and have to reset the game in certain areas. Maria is also preferable to Richter because she can jump higher and hence get out of these glitched areas more easily.
