Cheats for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (1997)
• AXEARMOR name code: start a new game as Alucard and enter AXEARMOR as your name to begin with the Axe Armor equipped.
• X-X!V"Q name code: enter this name in a new game to skip Richter's prologue and start directly as Alucard with high stats and better gear (NTSC-U/PAL versions).
• Richter Mode: complete the game once with Alucard to unlock Richter Belmont as a playable character on your next new game.
• Shield Rod combo: equip the Shield Rod with any Alucard shield and use the rod's special attack to unleash devastating spells (Alucard Shield + Shield Rod is the most powerful).
• Sword Familiar: level the Sword familiar to 50 so it learns the Sword Familiar special attack, one of the strongest in the game.
• Librarian Glitch: in the library, let the Librarian push you to the left and jump at the right moment to pass through the chair and reach upper areas from the start (lets you grab Double Jump and other abilities very early).
• Tip: don't sell gems immediately; the greedy librarian pays more for them the further you progress in the game.
• Tip: keep two familiars in active mode to level them faster; familiars gain experience even while in screen mode.
