Effect: Duplication while saving
When:
During the game
How:
When playing the game on a PlayStation2 with a Performance 2-in-1 memory card, the game will sometimes freeze while saving. However, you will keep all the experience and items that you received.

Effect: 4 Endings
When:
During Gameplay
How:
Simply go to the castle tower and defeat Richter without meeting Maria. Alucard will escape the destroyed castle and say a few things before going back to his eternal sleep.
Get the Holy Glasses and defeat Richter. Maria will have also escaped and tell you she's continuing her search for what happened to Richter.
For the 3rd and 4th endings, do this first: Get the Holy Glasses and equip them, but DON'T kill Richter. Instead, attack the green orb above him until it shatters. From here you'll go to the inverted castle.
Defeat Dracula with anything below 200% and you'll see Maria and Richter waiting for you outside the castle. Maria will decide not to follow Alucard and will return with Richter.
Get AT LEAST 199.1% and defeat Dracula. The others will be waiting, but Maria will decide to follow Alucard and try to help him cope with what he is.

Effect: Easy experience
When:
During the game
How:
Find the Terminus Est (a poisoned sword left by Nova Skeletons), then go to the inverted castle. Work your way to the inverted clock hallway where Level 60 Guardians are waiting. Guardians are relatively weak to poison. Slash away, and you will get monster experience. Depending on your level (35-50), you should be able to gain a level every two kills.
Alternatively, equip the Shield Rod and Alucard Shield (the normal one), and press the Left- and Right-hand buttons at the same time. This will activate a special mode in which your shield is granted the abilities of all shields at once. Your shield is now the strongest weapon in the game (for a random amount of limited time). Ram into the Guardians with the Alucard Shield equipped and cause massive, rapid fire damage.
Continually kill the phantom sword in the inverted chapel.
