Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game)	comment	Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Devil Castle Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight in Japan), a PlayStation game released in 1997 (and later re-released in Japan with extra content on the Sega Saturn), has since become regarded by critics and fans alike as one of, if not the absolute best game in the Castlevania series. Symphony helped coin the term "Metroidvania", provided the earliest known entry in the series to avert the Excuse Plot trope (well, first released outside of Japan), and contained a number of oft-repeated lines about the nature of mankind that helped seal its place in gaming history.The game begins in 1792 with Richter Belmont banishing Dracula back to Hell. Four years later, Richter disappears — and a year after that, he summons Castlevania in an attempt to resurrect the Dark Lord. The reappearance of Dracula's home causes Alucard, Dracula's half-vampire son, to awaken from a three-hundred-year slumber and enter Castlevania to figure out what drove Richter's actions. During his exploration of Castlevania, Alucard finds Maria Renard, a distant relative of the Belmont clan, who joins up with Alucard to figure out what the hell happened to Richter.Since Metroid was on hiatus at the time, Symphony introduced a generation of new gamers to an innovative gameplay style: Alucard could wander to any point on the map that he wished, but he had to find specific relics to explore new areas. Most of these relics had bosses guarding them, which forced players to level up to increase Alucard's stats. Alucard could also find equipment to change his attacks or cast spells. Anyone who's played any Castlevania game after this one will likely find this formula familiar — back in 1997, however, this game became a Killer App for the PlayStation (whether Sony liked it or not) and it was this title that cemented Castlevania's place in the zeitgeist for an entire generation of gamers.Symphony of the Night had two major Updated Rereleases: The Sega Saturn version (released only in Japan) added a number of exclusive areas, new music, two new bosses, and three playable characters available at the start. The PSP game Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles included Symphony to round out the Rondo saga. The Chronicles version included its own additions such as a new Secret Character, and redone script and voice acting. This updated version of Symphony and the original version of Rondo were re-released for the PlayStation 4 as Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood, featuring HD and 4K support, added vibration feedback, optional background borders, and full trophies support. The PSP version of Symphony was also released for iOS and Android devices on March 4, 2020, one day prior to the Netflix animated series' Season 3 premiere. In addition to the PSP's changes, the mobile port introduces onscreen virtual controls and a "continue" feature which allows players to quickly load the last room they entered.Gamers seeking the original PlayStation version of Symphony can find it on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 and Xbox One, and on PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3, PSP and PlayStation Vita.Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow duology acts as a pseudo-direct sequel to Symphony, with Alucard making an appearance in both games. However, it's impossible to go into it further without spoiling the entire plot of the games.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_10b6b5f7	comment	Cherry Tapping: There's a move for Alucard, the Drop Kick, which essentially mimics Mario's "jump on something's head to kill it" trick. And it lets you repeat said move infinitely. The fist weapons, or just plain ol' punching unarmed. They can hit literally as fast as you can mash the attack key (with the exception of the Blue Knuckle, which is kind of crap) and have an insane crit chance, offsetting their very short range. So you can, quite literally, Punch Out Cthulhu. Or, you know, Death. Or even The Big Man Himself!

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_1527d90d	comment	Early Game Hell: The period right after losing A Taste of Power leaves Alucard basically crippled, and even fairly weak enemies can take large chunks off your health bar. Alucard's power curve isn't so much a curve as it is a cliffside, but until then, it's easily the trickiest part of the game. Knowledge of the game's magic can alleviate this, though. Luck Mode takes this up to eleven (if the player doesn't exploit a glitch to keep the powerful equipment), as it takes many levels for Alucard to catch up to the stats he has at the beginning of a regular game, and this makes a big difference at that point (even spells can't be cast as often, because he starts with 1 MP instead of 30).

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_16972b3c	comment	Peninsula of Power Leveling: The game has a nearly unbeatable enemy located in the Royal Chapel called a Spiked Ball. Despite not being an enemy so much as a piece of weaponry perched on top of a Bone Pillar on top of a long set of stairs that just happens to be lying in one particular spot and which does massive amounts of Collision Damage, you can destroy it if you stand as close as possible to it, equip a fist weapon, and hold the attack button for a minute or two. It's a piece of cake to gain 10 levels in this room if you so desire. Once you reach the inverted castle's Marble Corridor, you encounter the game's Boss in Mook Clothing, the Guardians. While ridiculously powerful, their attacks can be easily telegraphed and avoided. Since they are the highest-level non-boss enemies in the game, they fork over absurd amounts of experience when killed, and a drop chance for a decent two-handed sword as well as a rare chance for the best set-stat armor in the game (second only to the Walk Armor when all of both castles are explored). In the first castle, actually the beginning of the first castle, in the Castle Keep. You stand right next to the stairs where the zombies won't reach you, and you can cut down unlimited amounts of zombies, risk free! But it is only 1 exp per zombie, so a controller with an auto option (or the Sword Familiar) is handy. The mermen are handy for this as well, allowing the most patient of gamers to gain 40 levels after a few days of waiting with the PSX on.

Despite the Librarian serving Dracula, Alucard can persuade him to part with some of his wares, for the right price. However, the Librarian only extends this service to Alucard; estranged or not, he is still Dracula's son. He won't interact with Richter or Maria at all, since dealing with the Belmonts would be outright treason.

Since it's a healing spell that makes Alucard replenish 8HP each time you draw blood from an enemy, aside from being a savant it is one of two reasonable options to defeat Doppleganger (the other is equipping the statistically weaker Red Rust and preying on his weakness to the Curse Status Effect).

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_17d5e071	comment	The game has plenty of weapons with obscure bonuses, one of which (the Were-Bane) gives bonuses against Were-Beasts. Unfortunately there's only one Were-creature in the game (the Werewolf) and although a mini-boss originally, by the time you get this weapon is encountered as just as a random grunt in one specific area and is not much of a challenge as you're now a much higher level, and there's plenty of weapons with much higher base damage that eclipse the bonus you'd get anyway. On top of this, though, the sword is glitched, in that it does absolutely zero extra damage to them anyway! Mind you, the sword isn't /completely/ useless, as it's QCF+Attack move is a flurry of thrusts in the same vein as the Rapier's, and Were-Bane is stronger than the Rapier. It makes for a good off-hand weapon if you decide to forgo two-handed weapons and shields.

This is actually a Dummied Out Japanese song in the original release. If the language is set to English in the PSP version, it'll even be fully translated!

Beating the game allows you to play as Richter, who can explore the castle at will with his advanced movement and also has access to every sub-weapon and item crashes for each one. However, the game ends when he fights Shaft instead of going on to the final boss. Both the Saturn port and Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles have a Maria Mode, though both play differently from each other. The Saturn version of Maria plays much like Richter, but with a triple-jump and several spells invoking The Four Gods, including one that makes her invincible for 40 seconds. The Dracula X Chronicles version plays more like her Rondo of Blood incarnation, with The Four Gods and Guardian Knuckle acting as her subweapons.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_2d395ee9	comment	Autobots, Rock Out!: The game opens with a subdued choral theme, and the title sequence features ominous, orchestral opening music. Then the game begins with a replay of the last battle between Richter and Dracula in Rondo of Blood. The music employs driving, wailing electric guitars. But only for a short time: Dracula's music is the epic orchestral music, remixed from Rondo. Inverted with the rest of the game. There are two standard boss themes: a face-melting metal style one, and a more orchestrated one. The orchestrated one becomes more common throughout the game, and many of the later bosses have it, giving it a tone of "important boss music" (key characters like Death and Shaft have this theme). Dracula has another different orchestral theme altogether.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_2f253c94	comment	Glass Cannon: The Nova Skeleton enemy will die to a single knife, but has a laser attack that can easily hit you for 200+ damage. In fact, a lot of late-game enemies follow this pattern, though the Nova Skeleton is perhaps the most notorious. The Ring of Ares will turn Alucard into this, as it both increases STR and weapon damage and lowers defense by 24. Richter and Maria take damage horribly in comparison to Alucard. Not helped by the fact that they don't level up, and their only way of healing is through save points and HP Max Ups. Playing the game on "Luck Mode" will also do this to Alucard. His HP and DEF stats will get absolutely trashed, making him vulnerable to even the weakest enemies, but because his chance to land critical hits is much higher, his damage potential skyrockets as soon as you start to pick up decent weapons. And because your luck is hugely inflated, getting said weapons tends to be much easier than on normal mode, further upping your offensive ability while your defense lags behind till much, much later in the game when you start to get really good armor and accessories.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: The game can be beaten with any weapon and set up, but for speedrunners, the best weapons to use early on fall squarely into this. It's your unarmed attack or the various dagger/knuckle weapons you can get. They don't do very much damage compared to your other weapons (especially not your unarmed attack), but the rate of fire is so fast that this is seen less as being underpowered and more as being balanced, as they still outdamage other setups through sheer damage per second. Bosses get absolutely shredded in record time. This does take some skill to do effectively however. Shield Rod combos are frequently seen as awesome and practical, being very powerful moves with flashy effects and prominent, stylish animations. But the best Shield Rod combo and one of the best set ups in the game is Shield Rod + Alucard Shield, which simply makes your shield damaging with a drain effect. Sure, the absolutely insane damage both on a single hit and per second is amazing, but you're still just holding your shield up until something dies.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6	comment	Magikarp Power: Familiars are, at first, completely useless and watch idly as you get smacked around by monsters. However, if you suffer them long enough, they will eventually level up and become able to kill most enemies before you can (this is especially true of the Sword familiar, which you can even wield as a weapon once its level gets high enough). After beating the game once, the player unlocks a code that, when used in a new game, unlocks Luck Mode. Alucard's stats are pathetic in this mode, but his luck stat is astronomically high to compensate. Not only does it result in him getting a lot of drops that are usually too rare to farm in normal mode, by the end game, Alucard will also be dishing out so much damage thanks to his high crit chance that he'll frequently end up outpacing his damage output in normal mode. The Muramasa initially seems like a Joke Weapon. It initially lowers your damage and defense. And, like the Red Rust, if Alucard's total attack is less than 10, it can occasionally "jam" when trying to attack. Also, it takes both hand slots. Seemingly the only benefit it has is that it has the Soul Steal effect permanently in effect. However, the Muramasa actually grows stronger from absorbing blood from enemies. For increasing amounts of blood absorbed, it's attack will go up (it operates on the formula of ATTÃ—2 +11 for each point of strength added). And as it powers up, it gains more and more effects for each swing of the sword. And due to the fact it has a maximum strength of 999, MUCH higher than any other weapon in the game, it can ultimately become THE Infinity +1 Sword. That said, it takes a fair amount of grinding before it outpaces the other best weapons in the game, and takes over 1 million blood sprays absorbed to reach maximum strength.

While most of Alucard's equipment slots are normal, he has two "hand" slots instead of one weapon slot. Each hand can be equipped with a weapon, a shield, a throwing item, or a consumable, and pressing either attack button uses what is in that hand, and food items are thrown on the ground for Alucard to heal with. There were also two-handed weapons that took up both slots. The system was simplified for later games, which only had a single weapon slot (except for Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia), no shields and throwing items (most would be supplanted by various magic attacks), and had consumables directly used from the pause menu. Alucard is the only protagonist with a spell system based on directional inputs, and the only one with an extensive familiar system where each helper levels up on its own (familiars are infrequent in later metroidvanias and typically don't level up nearly as much). Many enemies and items were localized very differently from how they are later in the series, such as recurring corpse ball Legion being known as "Granfaloon", and the rapid-striking wind sword being named Crissaegrim instead of Valmanway. Alucard has to grab an early relic in order to enable candles to drop items, while every later game has candles drop items by default. Boss rooms did not have a special sliding door denoting their entrance, meaning you could wander into one without warning (and in the Lesser Demon's case, there wasn't even a room transition). The shutters that sealed you in said boss rooms were also different depending on the room instead of just using the game's boss door design.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_4ff7e08	comment	Choice of Two Weapons: The game lets Alucard equip a weapon in each hand, with a separate button assigned to each. Handy for areas where enemies have varying weaknesses as it keeps the player from having to constantly hit up the subscreen.

However, it can inflict the cursed status on the doppelganger, rendering it helpless and making for an easy win against a Wake-Up Call Boss. The Cat Eye Circlet offers "Big HP restore by cat damage". Only one enemy in the game does "cat damage", and that's Salome, a rather dangerous witch enemy found in parts of the castle that upon being killed turns into a pesky cat that can do additional damage to the player, making her a real pain in the ass. Unless you're wearing the Cat Eye Circlet, in which case you get healed for most or all of your HP by touching the cute kitty. Everywhere else, the item is likely useless compared to other available equipment.

Being able to damage enemies while in the invincible mist form is very powerful, but it's guarded by Galamoth, the toughest boss in the game and one of the last you'll face due to him being at the top of the Reverse Castle. By the time you can defeat him, there won't be much left other than the final bosses and some cleanup, although the Gas Cloud does at least make it fairly easy to kill Guardians. The Ruby Circlet, which converts fire damage into HP. It would have come in very handy throughout Alucard's quest since the vast majority of enemy magic attacks are fire-based, but you've already had to conquer most of the game before you can actually obtain it in the Floating Catacombs (in the same room where you find the Gas Cloud relic, no less), and by that point in a normal playthrough there's very little that can still pose a threat to you.

She's much faster than Alucard and Richter, retains her double jump from Rondo of Blood and has special moves of her own, but she has as little health as she had in Rondo, being able to take a lot less hits before dying. Like Richter, Life Up potions boost her HP, but not her defense. And her special moves don't make her invincible during them, so she can't use them to attack bosses at all like Richter can.

The Ring (and yes, it's that Ring) is an uncommon but not prohibitively rare drop that gives an absurd boost to all your stats (It boosts your overall attack higher than all except a few of the strongest weapons in the game), and you can equip two of them at once or combine one with the Duplicator to negate its stat penalty.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: Getting past the Disc-One Final Boss to access the rest of the game can be confusing. You can reach the bad ending of the game as soon as you have a method of flight, but the rest of the castle needs to be explored thoroughly to continue on. It doesn't help that the clue provided once you have a lead is worded inaccurately in the original versions: There is an entire Clock Tower area and a literal clock tower found there, but the place you're supposed to wear the rings is in the clock room centered in the Marble Gallery. Thankfully, that room stands out enough (no music, prominent ticking noise, and a visible seam in and open space beneath the floor) that most players can figure out where it's meant to be used easily enough. Two very useful items, the Jewel Sword (easy access to sellable jewelry) and the Beryl Circlet (useful for the Superboss), are found in hidden rooms that can only be opened by passing through the tunnel in the Entrance/Reverse Entrance once in each of Alucard's four forms. Nothing indicates that these rooms exist or that fiddling with the tunnel will affect them. Using the Gravity Boots relic requires a directional input that isn't listed in its description. This is also an input needed for Richter's high jump, which can leave him stuck in a few places until you figure it out. A double-whammy: Alucard's Wolf form has the [totally unadvertised] ability to slowly swim by holding/tapping the backdash button while in water. This ability is also mostly useless, save for one thing:It's the only way to fill in several spots on the map in the Reverse Caverns, which are unreachable in Alucard's regular form.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_6edb0066	comment	Zero-Effort Boss: How to defeat Dracula as Richter Belmont: Take the Holy Water that you find right inside his room, and do an Item Crash. It hits the whole screen and does insane damage at very little cost, such that it'll most likely kill him the moment he's done transforming. Even if you haven't picked up the Holy Water or didn't read the manual, he'd still have to work out to be called a Warm-Up Boss; he doesn't do much damage and he's a gigantic target, and if your health does hit zero, Maria shows up to fill it back up on top of making you invincible for the rest of the fight. The Holy Water Item Crash is such a broken starting move that it's a major reason "Richter Mode" is considered to have Hard Levels, Easy Bosses. Note that the real purpose of this fight, not that the game tells you, is to tweak Alucard's base stats depending on how and what you do. Finishing quickly without "dying" gives Alucard higher stats, finishing without taking a hit and not using a special weapon starts you with 14 luck, and "dying" starts you with lower stats and a high potion.

Alucard, having chosen to renounce Dracula's ways prior to the start of the game, storms the castle with a few extremely powerful weapons, obliterating every single one of the first enemies in a single hit. The moment he meets Death and it's revealed what's going on, Death steals all of his weapons and in the next room, the character who was mowing through giant beasts in a single sword swipe is now resorting to punching a slow, weak zombie to death just for a short sword. Inverted with Richter, whose powers as a vampire hunter would seem to prove very useful against Alucard when he's under the control of Shaft, but Richter is not particularly powerful or difficult as the Disc-One Final Boss.

While ridiculously powerful, their attacks can be easily telegraphed and avoided. Since they are the highest-level non-boss enemies in the game, they fork over absurd amounts of experience when killed, and a drop chance for a decent two-handed sword as well as a rare chance for the best set-stat armor in the game (second only to the Walk Armor when all of both castles are explored).

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_7cd6822e	type	Significant Name Overlap
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_7cd6822e	comment	Significant Name Overlap: This arose because of a translation issue that went unnoticed by many fans for decades: The the Icebrand is the Ice-elemental member of a trio of similar swords called the Firebrand and the Thunderbrand. They acquired their Theme Naming because of the original English localization. All of them, in the translated flavor text, were said to be crafted or used originally by mighty mythical beings: the Thunderbrand was the sword of the Hindu deity, Indranote appropriately, the sword was originally called Vjaya, a corruption of vajra, the thunderbolt while the Firebrand was the sword of Oberon, King of the Fairies, putting a creative twist on an old English folkloric tradition.note Oddly, the Firebrand would appear in other Castlevania games as "Agni's Flame," which references another Hindu god. But the Icebrand, according to the flavor text, was the sword of Mim — which players took at the time to be a reference to the sorceress from Disney's The Sword in the Stone. To some this may have been a little obtuse, but given that Symphony of the Night, especially, and the franchise more generally, is a swirl of seemingly endless allusions to mythology, folklore, and fiction, and given that Mim was indeed presented as a mighty magic-user in her own right, it fit right in. The thing was, the "Mim" being referenced was not Mim but rather MÃ®m — note the accent over the i — a somewhat obscure character from Tolkien's Legendarium. This actually stands to reason, as the same English translation that originally appeared in North America was (as browsing this article will make abundantly clear) loaded with puzzlingly incongruous references to Tolkien's works. But because the in-game text could not process special characters (like Ã®), for years many fans were led to believe the Icebrand was, indeed, supposed to have been once wielded, or at least crafted, by a half-forgotten Disney character whose existence was somehow deemed canon in the Castlevania universe.

The sword at least has the reach and fast attack speed of the real deal, but that doesn't really make up for the lack of power. A complete set of Alucart equipment does have a use, though: it dramatically increases your LCK. It's still not enough to make it qualify as a Lethal Joke Item, though. There's also Tyrfing, a cursed sword that passes through enemies and does no damage due to reducing your attack to 0 unless you equip enough stat-boosting items and level up enough to compensate for it, and the Saturn version has Sain Irishitajiki, a useless, goofy picture of Alucard, which the game (for some reason) treats as a medicine.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_8e9cf84e	comment	"Blind Idiot" Translation: Zig-zagged. The prologue is called "Final Stage: Bloodlines", (incorrectly) referring to the Sega Genesis game, Castlevania: Bloodlines. However, instead of fixing it in later releases, the final stage of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood was changed to "Bloodlines" once the game was released in English, even though it was "Rondo of Blood" in the original Japanese, thus making the Bloodlines name retroactively correct. Also, Dracula's full name in-game being "Dracula Vlad Tepes" may appear at first glance to be an overly literal translation, failing to take Japanese name order (family name first) into account, and also considering that in real life, "Tepes" was a Red Baron-style nickname for Vlad Dracula ("Vlad son of [Vlad] Dracul") meaning "impaler". But it appears this was always the intention, as Belmonts are consistently named in Western order even in Japanese, and "Tepes" is made Alucard's surname, and thus Dracula's, in the supplementary material.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_8f1ec2c5	comment	Joke Character: One of the armors Alucard can equip turns him into a Axe Armor from Rondo. He runs fast and has a strong melee swing, but he can't jump high in this form and thus can't explore much. Oddly, he can't even throw his axe as you'd expect. What's amusing about it is his idle animation, in which he raises the axe and shouts "Hah! Hah! Hah! Ho!".

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_90f6d157	comment	Confessional: There's a confessional in the Royal Chapel, where Alucard can take a seat on either side. Sitting in the chair on the left side causes the ghost of a priest to appear; if he is wearing blue, he will nod his head as though listening to confession, cross himself, and disappear, dropping the grape juice item. Alternately, if he is wearing gray, he'll laugh, pull the curtain closed, and try to impale Alucard with a half-dozen pointy objects through the screen. Sitting on the right makes a ghostly woman appear and sit on the left. She will mime a tearful confession and disappear when Alucard gets up. Or laugh, pull the curtain closed, and try to impale Alucard with a spear through the screen. Confessional ghosts are weird like that.

The hardest enemies in the game are level 60, and the experience you gain from them sharply drops with each level you gain until you only get one point of experience. It takes absurd amounts of grinding to reach level 99. After level 80, all enemies give 1 EXP, meaning that you are actually better off fighting numerous weak enemies such as bats or Spectral Swords (since each puppet item counts as a separate enemy).

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_963086ce	comment	Damn You, Muscle Memory!: In the Xbox LIVE Arcade re-release of the game, due to being an emulated port of the game, it changes some of the menu-related buttons around on the Xbox 360 controller despite using a similar formfactor to a DualShock 2. The game's title screen requires pressing Start to get into the File Select screen, but during gameplay it functions as Pause button for the emulation rather than bringing up the sub-menu in the PlayStation version which is instead mapped to Back, leaving the previously unmapped L2 button in the original release now serving as the map button on Left Trigger. Playing as Richter or Maria immediately after playing as Alucard will take a lot of getting used to (expect to accidentally waste Hearts performing an Item Crash when you were wanting to do a back-dash). This is even worse in The Dracula X Chronicles and Requiem, as the controls for Richter and Maria aren't even the same across their respective versions of Rondo and Symphony of the Night.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_a45bcc1f	comment	Dash Attack: For Richter, inputting Up, Down, Down-Forward, Forward + Attack will allow him to perform a Blade Attack, which causes him to dash forward while brandishing his whip, dealing damage to his enemies and giving him i-frames during the attack. This maneuver can also be used in mid-air in succession, allowing him to glide over hazards if the player can successfully repeat the input command. Alucard can unlock a dash attack in the form of Wing Smash, which requires the ability to transform into a bat. While in bat form, holding down Jump, performing a 3/4 circle motion forward starting from Up, then releasing Jump on Forward will cause Alucard to dash through at high velocity and damaging enemies on contact, then reverting back to normal form afterwards. This special attack can also be extended by inputting the command in succession in certain versions of the game, but can quickly drain his MP. In the Sega Saturn version of the game, Maria can perform a flying Drop Kick by pressing Forward, Forward + Attack (this was move replaced by a Rolling Attack reminiscent to her Rondo of Blood incarnation in the PSP/Requiem port).

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_a4916876	comment	Blown Across the Room: Some attacks will cause intense knockback to Alucard, especially if his defense is too low. This is required to skip the cutscene in which Death steals Alucard's equipment. Knockback strength is based on the percentage of your maximum health lost per attack. The skip glitch works because Luck Mode Alucard has a tiny amount of HP, and the enemy used deals enough damage to wipe out all but 1-4 HP, which results in massive knockback (if done in the opposite direction, it'll carry you all the way back out to the castle gate).

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e	type	Infinity +1 Sword
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e	comment	Infinity +1 Sword: Many. Symphony of the Night is full of broken (but fun!) weaponry. The Crissaegrim, a wind-based sword dropped by the Schmoo enemies found in the Forbidden Library. This obscene weapon makes everything else in the game obsolete. It can be used while moving, does four slashes in quick succession, has high damage output, sweeps a large arc in front of you (unlike other swords which only execute a narrow and miss-prone "stabbing" attack), and being able to attack as fast as you can press the button, with little lag. Once you get it, you can button mash through most enemies, especially if you equip two. The Shield Rod in the Colosseum (which can cast unique spells depending on which shield is equipped alongside it) is pretty useful for most of the game, but it becomes an example of this after getting the late-game Alucard Shield. With the Alucard Shield's spell, you can shield bash enemies for a ludicrous amount of damage while healing yourself and turning invincible. You can literally walk through any boss if its weakpoint is exposed. The one downside is that the Shield Rod itself is somewhat weak, but later in the game it can be replaced with a random-dropped Mablung Sword that is stronger while still being able to cast shield spells. Also, you only get 1 exp from killing enemies with the Alucard Shield as a trade off for essentially being a walking death machine. The Muramasa starts off weak, but becomes more powerful every time you hit an enemy and draw blood with it equipped. Through grinding, it can become obscenely powerful. That said, the amount of time needed to actually make it that strong makes it rather impractical. Alucard's namesake sword is a "weaker" infinity plus one weapon, but has a fast attack speed, is relatively easy to find, and has a special attack that lets you teleport behind an enemy and strike twice rapidly while invulnerable before moving back to your previous position. You can also exploit a bug to keep it at the start of the game. The Badelaire gets stronger the more time you play, one attack point per hour. Leave the game running overnight a couple times and when the clock maxes out at 99 hours, you'll have a very strong sword with high single hit power with very little effort involved. The Dainslef has a rather high attack power, and inputting down, down-forward, and forward before attacking gives an even stronger blow... and its attack strength is doubled with Dark Metamorphosis active. Get ready to see some huge numbers! The Sword Familiar. It's one of the strongest familiars at any rate, but at level 50, you can wield it with its attack power equal to its level, making it deadly at level 99. At level 75, it gets a new, more accurate attack animation. The Ring of Varda, a very powerful stat-boosting ring that won't drop unless your memory card has a completed save on it. Another item available only on a cleared file is the Duplicator, an accessory which slightly drains your stats but lets you use items without losing them. It's obscenely expensive to purchase, but combining it with a Power of Sire will result in you just casually strolling around the castle, killing everything without lifting a finger by using a painting to summon a hologram of Vlad the Impaler shooting exploding stars from his eyes. Richter's item crashes, particularly Thousand Daggers and Hydro Storm, can take out bosses with no effort at all.

But it appears this was always the intention, as Belmonts are consistently named in Western order even in Japanese, and "Tepes" is made Alucard's surname, and thus Dracula's, in the supplementary material.

Despite the relic looking like a snorkel, this ISN'T Super Drowning Skills, but apparently has to do with a myth about vampires not crossing running water. Richter, a human, has no problem with it.

Even the easiest mooks can kill you if you aren't careful, and some of the more challenging mooks can kill you in one or two hits. On the other hand, bosses can usually be kept at a distance and killed without too much difficulty (and if you use Hydro Storm on them, most die as fast as your average mook). The only real exception is Galamoth — using the Hydro Storm on him will simply result in him shrugging off the damage and then killing Richter while he's stuck in the attack animation.

However, if Alucard meets Maria in a certain location, he will be given the Holy Glasses, which are useful against Richter, since they reveal a dark green orb floating nearby, which is the real target of this boss battle.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_c0c54000	comment	The Muramasa initially seems like a Joke Weapon. It initially lowers your damage and defense. And, like the Red Rust, if Alucard's total attack is less than 10, it can occasionally "jam" when trying to attack. Also, it takes both hand slots. Seemingly the only benefit it has is that it has the Soul Steal effect permanently in effect. However, the Muramasa actually grows stronger from absorbing blood from enemies. For increasing amounts of blood absorbed, it's attack will go up (it operates on the formula of ATTÃ—2 +11 for each point of strength added). And as it powers up, it gains more and more effects for each swing of the sword. And due to the fact it has a maximum strength of 999, MUCH higher than any other weapon in the game, it can ultimately become THE Infinity +1 Sword. That said, it takes a fair amount of grinding before it outpaces the other best weapons in the game, and takes over 1 million blood sprays absorbed to reach maximum strength.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_cb3adcb7	comment	The the Icebrand is the Ice-elemental member of a trio of similar swords called the Firebrand and the Thunderbrand. They acquired their Theme Naming because of the original English localization. All of them, in the translated flavor text, were said to be crafted or used originally by mighty mythical beings: the Thunderbrand was the sword of the Hindu deity, Indranote appropriately, the sword was originally called Vjaya, a corruption of vajra, the thunderbolt while the Firebrand was the sword of Oberon, King of the Fairies, putting a creative twist on an old English folkloric tradition.note Oddly, the Firebrand would appear in other Castlevania games as "Agni's Flame," which references another Hindu god. But the Icebrand, according to the flavor text, was the sword of Mim — which players took at the time to be a reference to the sorceress from Disney's The Sword in the Stone. To some this may have been a little obtuse, but given that Symphony of the Night, especially, and the franchise more generally, is a swirl of seemingly endless allusions to mythology, folklore, and fiction, and given that Mim was indeed presented as a mighty magic-user in her own right, it fit right in. The thing was, the "Mim" being referenced was not Mim but rather MÃ®m — note the accent over the i — a somewhat obscure character from Tolkien's Legendarium. This actually stands to reason, as the same English translation that originally appeared in North America was (as browsing this article will make abundantly clear) loaded with puzzlingly incongruous references to Tolkien's works. But because the in-game text could not process special characters (like Ã®), for years many fans were led to believe the Icebrand was, indeed, supposed to have been once wielded, or at least crafted, by a half-forgotten Disney character whose existence was somehow deemed canon in the Castlevania universe.

The Sword Familiar levels up as Alucard kills enemies. At level 50, it will change form and lets Alucard wield it. At level 70, it changes its attack pattern, and at 90-99, it starts glowing and is able to do the Sword Brothers spell on its own. While not a weapon, the Walk Armor's defense power increases as you explore more map regions. It eventually becomes more powerful than any other armor.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_d933263	comment	Have a Nice Death: Normally the game over screen features an ominous voice (presumed to be Death in the original, actually Death in the redubbed versions) speaking "GAME OVER", but dying at certain points (such as losing to Richter) causes special voice clips to play over it. The game in general goes above and beyond most of the other games in the series with this unique finishing touch; there are actually special effects available that depend on the elemental attributes of the attack that killed the playable characters. There's the normal bloody disintegration that Rondo of Blood introduced, true, but then there's also the following: Being killed by a Fire attack results in the character literally burning away into nothingness. Being killed by an Ice attack results in the character melting away in mid-air. Being killed by a Lightning attack results in sparks of lightning eventually burning the character into non-existence. If Alucard's cause of death is from exposure to water without having the proper relic on hand, he literally melts into water droplets. There's even a unique death animation for if Alucard's HP falls to 0 while petrified; his statuesque form crumples apart, the bits and pieces falling to the ground as this happens. Most of the above applies for boss fight versions of the playable characters, even. Want to add a twist to how the Doppelganger bosses die? Kill them with an attack that possesses one of the above elements. Even Richter is affected by this... although do keep in mind the fact that the ending one will get won't exactly be fulfilling.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_da1c64ef	comment	Lethal Joke Item: Alucard gets a Luck boost when he wears all Alucart equipment at once — this effect is often used to up the chances of obtaining the rarely-dropped Crissaegrim. Also, the "effect" of the Alucart Shield is a nod to the Key Subweapon from Rondo, which was the strongest, yet almost useless subweapon from that game. Using the Alucart equipment while playing in Luck Mode (gives 99 Luck but sets all other stats to 1 or 0, with 35 HP and 5 MP, far below usual starting stats) will allow him to attack extremely fast and do crit damage high enough to kill many bosses in a few hits. The Cat-Eye Circlet, which protects you from... cat damage. Even so, it comes in surprisingly handy in one of the game's hardest areas. The Red Rust, a two-handed sword which deals less damage than the first shortsword you pick up at the same time that randomly causes Alucard to freeze in place when he tries to swing it, but which can be invaluable against both Doppelganger bosses since it curses them on hit, basically making them helpless and unable to attack. The Basilard can be found and obtained shortly after entering the Alchemy Laboratory, where the player is likely to take one look at its lower attack power and ignore it in favor of continuing to use the Short Sword. If you do equip it, however, you'll find that its lower damage stat and slightly shorter reach are more than compensated for by it being able to strike nearly as fast as you can hit the attack button, making it punch well above its weight for a good portion of the early game, and holding the button causes Alucard to hoist it out at the ready and do passive damage to enemies.

Being tired of Vampire Hunters continuously hunting Dracula, he figured the best way to stop them is to mind control the strongest one ever, Richter, and use his own holy power against other hunters, thereby making sure Dracula would never be defeated again. Has shades of Xanatos Gambit; even if Richter Belmont is defeated, as Alucard does in the bad endings, the most troublesome hunting family, the Belmonts, is no more.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927	comment	Dub Name Change: Towards several enemy names and food items via Japanese-to-English; the former names stick on in later games as of this series. One item in particular is the "Green Tea"; it was named that way out of censorship since the original name for it was "Sake/Osake" (the alcoholic drink). The many swords to pick up and collect in the game have rather notable names in Japanese via various nods to mythology in general, only to be swapped out for Tolkien lore-based names (such as Icebrand, Thunderbrand, Sword of Hador, and so forth); one example is the Crissaegrim, where its actual name is the Valmanway (again, the original name stays in later titles), while another is the Vorpal Blade's original name being the Sonic Blade (the weaker version of the aforementioned weapon). The giant corpse ball boss is known as Legion in the Japanese version, and Granfaloon in the English; the latter is a roundabout reference to a Kurt Vonnegut neologism. Later games would retain the Legion name in English.

He takes the same damage from a puddle as he does when 30 feet underwater, and the lack of oxygen appears to be of no concern.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_e9d0e7ce	comment	Useless Item: The game has plenty of weapons with obscure bonuses, one of which (the Were-Bane) gives bonuses against Were-Beasts. Unfortunately there's only one Were-creature in the game (the Werewolf) and although a mini-boss originally, by the time you get this weapon is encountered as just as a random grunt in one specific area and is not much of a challenge as you're now a much higher level, and there's plenty of weapons with much higher base damage that eclipse the bonus you'd get anyway. On top of this, though, the sword is glitched, in that it does absolutely zero extra damage to them anyway! Mind you, the sword isn't /completely/ useless, as it's QCF+Attack move is a flurry of thrusts in the same vein as the Rapier's, and Were-Bane is stronger than the Rapier. It makes for a good off-hand weapon if you decide to forgo two-handed weapons and shields. There are around a dozen one-handed swords which do not have any special bonuses and are just incrementally more powerful versions of previous one-handed swords you find. Since there are so many weapons that offer more than raw attack power, it's unlikely you'll ever want to use them in any practical situation. Most throwing/bomb items that aren't Too Awesome to Use are this. Some like the javelin and bwaka knife can at least damage multiple enemies by traveling through them across the screen, but most aren't much of an improvement over the regular sub-weapons you find that run on easily-replenishable hearts.

The EXP modifier is exponential, so the benefit of repeated grinding against low level enemies erodes very quickly. However, fighting high level enemies has the opposite effect; the level 60 Guardians near the final boss can yield a level for every two of them you kill (assuming you can kill them). This trope wins in the end, however. Once you reach the 70s, even Guardians give only one EXP per kill, and any further leveling is best done against Zombies, Mermen, and other constantly respawning enemies that pose no threat.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Video Game) / int_f33ff01c	comment	Adaptational Context Change: Unlike how it's portrayed in Symphony of the Night, the aforementioned boss fight in Rondo of Blood did not actually open with any dialogue between Richter and Dracula; they both went on the attack immediately. It was only after Dracula's defeat that they actually debated their philosophies with each other before Dracula gracefully accepted his demise while promising that he'd return someday, a sharp contrast to his much quicker death in the Symphony of the Night opening where he simply spouts an anguished This Cannot Be!

Which is where all the other Castlevanias ended, so this must be it, right? The game does end there and then if you don't figure out what you must actually do when confronting Richter, however (and you need certain gear to actually be able to do it).

The Clock Tower subverts this, as it certainly has all the hallmarks of being one with its tricky platforming, tough enemies, lack of save points and kickass music, but not only do you still have the Inverted Castle to go through once you've saved Richter, but the reversed Clock Tower is where you're likely to start your exploration.

The timing is very strict, however, and likely takes multiple tries. You still, however, need to explore the rest of the castle to actually fight the boss, as the stairs are out.
