Version 1.0 - I just started out, made Richter's moves, Spell List, 
                       Frequently asked questions, 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You start out in the prologue as Richter Belmont, son of Trevor Belmont, 
who fought along side Alucard in defeating of his father, Vlad Tepes 
Dracula. 

Richter's Moves:

Slide:                              Down + X.
Super Uppercut Jump:                Down, Up + X.
Fire Whip:                          If you have no secondary weapon, push 
                                    Triangle.
Black Flip:                         X, then X again (in the air).
Slide Kick:                         Down, X, then X again during the slide.
Blade Attack:                       Up, Down to Forward, Up + Square.
Dash:                               Tap forward twice.

In the beginning, there is a small switch above the first overhang. This 
leads up to a small room with various treasures. Although this room is 
useless right now, it's good to remember when you come back here as 
Alucard. 

Note:  When you play as Richter, you can't press the Start button to 
       bring up the menu. Thus, Richter cannot equip things or use 
       items.

Frequently Asked Questions:
------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: Is the USA version different than the import?
Answer: No, as far as I can tell, it's all the same, except for two minor 
                things. The Fairy 2 Card and the Demon 2 Card were not 
                included in the USA version for one reason or the other. As 
                far as I have seen, those familiars don't do much anything 
                different than their original familiar counterparts, Fairy and 
                Demon.

Question: What is the highest possible percent to get with Alucard?
Answer:  The highest I"ve gotten and seen is 200.6%. For this 200.6%, 
               I have 1890 rooms uncovered and I"ve seen every enemy in the 
               entire game. I"ve never seen evidence of someone getting over 
               200.6% with more than 1890 rooms visited. 

*Note:  Using a glitch, I have managed to get 210.1%! To do this glitch, 
              you must first go to the normal castle's confessional, at the 
              bottom of the bell tower. Here, turn your Sword Familiar card on 
              and get ready to do the Bat transformation. Stand over to the 
              left enterance, and do the "Sword Brothers" spell with the Sword
              Familiar. When the sword is spinning around, use the Bat form 
              and go outside of the enterance. The screen will not change as 
              normal, and you can fly around outside of the castle! You can 
              also do this in the Inverted Castle as well.

Question: How can I play as Richter Belmont?
Answer:  To play as Richter Belmont, you need to beat Dracula in the 
               Inverted Castle with Alucard with at least 170%. After you"ve 
               beat Dracula with at least 170%, your game save on your slot 
               should say "Clear". Now, start a new game, and enter your name 
               as "Richter".

Question: Is it ever possible to get outside of the Castle?
Answer:  Yes, but only with Richter… at the VERY start of the game, where
               Richter starts out beside the gate that closes to the castle, dash or 
               do his slide move immediately to the left, and you can sometimes 
               get out before the gate closes. Once you"re outside, there are a few 
               very weird places, and a save point. Once you"re outside though, 
               you can"t get back in, but this is fun to try.

Question: How do I get the Spikebuster Armor?
Answer:  To get the Spikebuster Armor, you must first go into the Catacombs. 
               To get here, you must go to the groundwater vein right above a 
               wooden platform with both a Life and Heart Max Up right below. 
               Move over to the left slowly, and you will find an ape with a barrel. 
               Lure the ape slowly over to the wooden plank by walking, and when 
               he"s close, close the gap between him and the plank, and he"ll throw 
               the barrel right over you, hopefully breaking the wood. Go down, and 
               you"ll eventually right your way around and to the Spikebuster Armor, 
               which is on the right side of the Catacombs, around a twist. 

Question: How do I get to the Inverted Castle? When I beat Richter, I just get a 
                crappy ending.
Answer: To get to the Inverted Castle, you need to get the Green Goggles (Holy 
              Glasses) from Maria. To do this, you need the Gold and Silver Rings. 
              You can acquire the Gold Ring after you beat Succubus in the Nightmare 
              area, and you can get the Silver Ring after getting the Spikebuster Armor 
              (See above). Now, go into the Clock room where you first met Maria, 
              wearing both of these rings. The floor will open, and you will go down to 
              see Maria again, she will give you the Green Goggles. Now, go fight Richter 
              again, but this time, you"ll see an orb floating above Richter"s head. Keep 
              attacking only the orb, and you will release Shaft from Richter"s mind. 
              Alucard will then venture into a whole new castle-The Inverted Castle.

Question: Where is the Mist form?
Answer:  To get the Mist form, you must first get into the Coliseum. When you're 
                 there, go up and around a red elevator shaft platform. Once on top of it, 
                 do a double jump over to the Mist form, without touching the switch. If 
                 you touch the switch, the bottom will open, making it harder to grab the 
                 Mist form.

Question:  What regular enemy gives you the most experience points?
Answer:  Guardians, the Yellow Knights to the left or the right of the Inverted Castle 
              clock room, give about 2000 experience points per fight. This is a great way 
               to gain levels, you can gain a few levels in a matter of minutes. I found it 
               especially easy to beat them with the Alucard sword, using it"s special attack 
               (Down, Down-Right, Right + Square).

Question: Where is the best place to level my familiars up?
Answer: I"ve found the best place to raising familiar levels to be in the 
                Inverted Castle Library. Most of the enemies here give around 
                25 experience points each battle. This is a good way to get most 
                of your familiars up to level 50, where most of them gain special 
                attacks.

Question: What is the best equipment in the game?
Answer: Well, this is a very opinionated question, but I"ve found my favorite 
                 combo of equipment to be:  Alucard Sword, Alucard Shield, 
                 Dragon Helm, Alucard Mail, Twilight Cloak, Moonlight Stone, 
                 Many people like the Sword Familiar Sword, because it's more 
                 powerful than the Alucard Sword, but it hits much slower, so I 
                 prefer the Alucard Sword. Also, an Excellent Two-Handed Sword 
                 is the Yurasame, which can be gotten from the Werewolves in the 
                 Coliseum of the Inverted Castle. It makes many slices as fast as you 
                 can push the button. Also, a VERY important piece of equipment, the 
                 Duplicator, can be bought from the librarian in the normal castle later 
                 in the game. This Duplicates any item you use, making you have 
                 infinite of that item! 
            

Question: Is there anything to do with the Telescope on the bottom 
                 of the Outer Wall?
Answer: Well, after you get the Snorkel (Holy Symbol), the fish is gone…
                 maybe it"s trying to tell you that you need the mermaid to summon 
                 the boatman. There is a strange thing that happens in this room, 
                 though... if you use the Wolf form, and crash into the wall on the 
                 right, it makes a weird noise, unlike crashing into other walls. I have 
                 no idea of what this has to do with anything, but it's interesting.

Question: Help! I"m in the Inverted Castle, and the Gold and Silver 
                 Rings won"t open the way to Dracula! What do I need to do?
Answer:  You can pretty much forget about the Gold and Silver Rings 
                 after the normal castle, because they aren"t used to get to Dracula 
                 in the Inverted Castle. What you need to collect in this castle are 
                 Dracula"s body parts. They"re scattered around the castle after you 
                 beat various bosses.

Question: Where are these Fairy and Demon 2 Cards I"ve been hearing about?!
Answer: The Fairy 2 Card and Demon 2 Card were taken out of the North 
                American version, for reasons I cannot say. Ask Konami. It doesn't 
                really matter, though, because as far as I could tell, the Fairy 2 Card 
                and Demon 2 card were exactly like the first, except for the fact that 
                the Demon 2 couldn't open switches that the Demon 1 could.

Question: Is there ANY way I can see these other familiars in the North American 
                  version of the game?
Answer: With the use of some special GameShark codes, look in the GameShark 
                section of this FAQ. 

Question: Where is the Sword Familiar?
Answer:  You have to break through a section of Orlox's Quarters, using either 
                 the Bible, or something that hits the whole room. You can also jump 
                 up and hit it. This is located in a room with a white arch at the top, 
                 and nothing else.

Question: How do I get Maria?
Answer:  Maria was going to be put in the game, but was cut back, due to time 
                 restraints. Konami says that they plan to put Maria in the Saturn 
                 version of this game, but I doubt that the Saturn version will come to 
                 North America. However, I have found out that Maria's voice tracks 
                 are permenantly stored in the game's RAM, confirming that she was 
                 going to be playable.
