Castlevania 64
Expert mode:
Successfully complete the game and wait until the credits end. Save the game,
then restart to access the "Hard" difficulty setting. Note: The first green
jewel for the Secret #1 entry on the item list must be collected. It can be
found in the Silent Forest (level 1). Locate the platform that is floating
next to a bridge. Jump to the platform and hit the torch to find the jewel.
Alternate costumes:
Successfully complete the game, using either character, after finding the two
special crystals in the towers under the "Hard" difficulty setting. When
playing as Reinhardt, move up to the third level in the Tower of Execution,
break open one of the iron maidens to find the Execution Key, return to the
second level, open the locked iron gate, walk through the hallway, look over
the edge to find a floating platform with an iron maiden, jump to the
floating platform, and break the iron maiden to find the purple jewel for his
Secret #2. When playing as Carrie, throw holy water at the floating platform
with a torch at the top of the Tower of Sorcery just before the exit, hit the
torch to find the purple jewel for her Secret #2. Save the game, then
highlight the character that was used in the completed game at the character
selection screen. Hold Analog-stick Up and choose the character to select
their alternate costume. Note: Reidhart's alternate costume is Simon
Belmont's original costume. Carrie Fernandez's alternate costume is a
classic 1920s school girl outfit.
Renon ending sequence:
Purchase more than $30,000 in items from Renon during game play. A battle
with Renon will appear at the end of the game.
Charlie Vincent ending sequence:
Use more than four cards during game play, or take an excessive amount of
time to complete the game. A battle with Charlie Vincent will appear at the
end of the game.
Save often:
Save the game every time that you get the chance to do so. This will prevent
difficult sections of the game from having to be repeated.
Solving the Goddess astronomy puzzle:
Set Gold on 2, Red on 4, and Blue on 8.
Passing the hedge maze:
Look up and to the right at the entrance to the garden hedge maze to find a
platform. Use the invisible ledge in front of the platform to reach it. When
passing through the maze with Malus, turn left, open the unlocked door, then
move left, right, right, left, left, left, right, right, enter the gate and
collect the items, exit through the gate and run right, left, right, left,
left, right. Move through the passage, collect the key, walk through the Villa,
re-enter the maze, run down the long passage towards the tower, then enter the
door to the right.
Finding food:
Look at the statues to find chickens or slabs of beef.
Healing kit and extra items:
On the third set of stairs after leaving the Clock Tower, right before you open
the door to enter Stage 10, are two flames on each side. Choose one and jump to
it. Walk slowly around until you reach the back. You will see two small
platforms with a Torch on each of them. Get to the platform that is connected
to the building. Hit the torch and get the items. To get the torch that seems
to be on a floating platform, go to the corner across from the torch. You have
to walk across an invisible walkway. Just walk directly -- there are no turns.
Collecting the courtyard fountain items:
Wait until midnight, and climb the platform that appears in the courtyard
fountain.
Speaking to Rosa:
Speak with Rosa when she appear in the rose garden in the Villa at 3 a.m.
