Hints, Tips & Tricks
Rare Ring
Once you have acquired the Giant Bat Soul, go into the lowest right torture room. Go all the way to the right and use the Giant Bat Soul to squeeze through the crack in the brick. In the next room is a ring called the Rare Ring. It has the same effect as the expensive Soul Eater Ring.

Ninja Suit
At the location in which you entered the Inner Quarters, make your way to the top of the flights of stairs. Enter the only door available, and hit the ground with a weapon of some sort. The ground will crack and reveal an area with a High Potion, and two Witches. Grab the potion and go to your right. Do not leave the area. Instead, hit the wall directly to your right. It will crack and reveal another secret passage. Inside is a Salem Witch, and a Ninja Suit on the floor.

Chaos Ring
Have 100% of all the souls, then go to the Chaotic Realm. At the room were you find the first Alastro (the invisible creature with the big sword), go to the room that is on the top left corner. You will find the Chaos Ring, which gives you unlimited MP while equipped.

Entering the Forbidden Zone
In the lower right-hand part of the middle of the map, you may have noticed a waterfall that constantly pushes you back if you try to walk through it. To enter into the Forbidden Zone from here, you must have the Undine Soul, and one of three more souls (Devil, Curly, or Manticore). From the entrance of the room, have Undine and one of the other souls mentioned equipped. Use one of the three souls and do not release R until you are through the waterfall. You now have access to a special, but optional, part of the game.

Attacking enemies above you
When you get the Hippogryph Soul (which allows you to do a super jump in mid-air), hit the bottom of something while still going upward to ram into it. If you do this when an enemy is above you, damage will be done to it. This is useful for attacking enemies with having to confront them.

Stop time
Go to the Inner Quarters and go down the hallway where Chronomage (the rabbit with the stopwatch) is located. Kill the Chronomage then keep entering and exiting until you get his soul. It lets you stop time, like the Stop Watch sub-weapon from the original Castlevania. Note: You must have the Galamoth Soul to prevent Chronomage's stop watch ability. Otherwise, you will be sent back to the last room that you were in.

Alternate jump
When you are standing on the ground (or an enemy), instead of jumping then pressing L to use the Hippogryph/Hippogriff ability, you can simply hold Up then press L. You will perform a vertical jump reminiscent of the Lancers in the Final Fantasy series of games.

Shoot fireballs
When you have the Fire Demon, Giant Bat, and Succubus souls equipped, you can shoot fireballs as a bat just like Alucard from Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night.

Easy experience
When you are in the Chaos Realm, equip your Roginus' Spear and the soul Erinys. When you encounter a Shadow Knight, kill him. You will gain roughly 3,300 experience points per kill. If you are near a door when you kill him, enter and exit to encounter the Shadow Knight again to keep getting experience.

Defeating Legion
To defeat Legion in under fifteen seconds you need the Biphron Soul and the Claim Solias sword. Equip both and enter the room. As soon as it completely forms and descends, use the soul you have equipped and keep attacking him. The flame is tall enough to hit every part of its body, and the Solias is tall enough to hit half of the entire thing.

Defeating the Giant Mud Golem
When fighting the Giant Mud Golem, (second or third Boss) make sure to equip the Giant Ghost Soul in the Blue Soul Set. When you see him arched over and drooling rocks, activate the soul. It will reflect all of the rocks he is spitting at you, and deal over 40 damage per rock.

Bonus items
To get extra items you must replay the game in Hard mode. This is easier if you use a previous saved game file. Go through the game as usual. Look around any place where you think that items should be. Two new weapons you can only obtain in Hard mode are Death's Scythe (more powerful than the Clamis Solaris)and the Silver Bullet Gun.

Sherman Ring
In the Candle Lit Halls (Dance Hall), there is an exit to the right of that area that enters the Inner Corridors. Just before you enter the door, double jump and swing at the ceiling (preferably with a weapon like the Claimh Solais, because of its reach and motion). You will need the Giant Bat Soul or Hypogryph Soul to enter the secret area. When you do, you will encounter a Catoblepas, Mimic, and White Dragon Skeleton. Kill them all and get the Sherman Ring. The ring gathers experience for you as you walk. Also, equipping the Enryis Soul and ring at the same time is good way to get quick level ups.

Tsuchinoko
Tsuchinoko can only be found in one room in the castle. It is the room to the left after the Golem Boss room. Keep entering and exiting the room until you see it lying on its tummy, and not digging. Note: The Tsuchinoko Soul is very useful; it gives you a big discount at the shop.

Double soul activation
Equipping the Bat and Giant Bat Souls simultaneously will activate both Souls when just one is used. In addition, if you do not have the Succubus Soul or the Flame Demon Soul, you can still do heavy damage, while looking for hidden areas and breakable walls.
