Effect: Dragon Statue
When:
During the game
How:
Occasionally, when a Petrify attack hits Alucard, he will turn into a giant, kneeling dragon statue instead of an Alucard statue. In this form, you will not take any damage whatsoever from attacks. Breaking out of the stone returns Alucard to his original form.

Effect: Duplicator
When:
During the game
How:
After you complete the game return to the Librarian. He will have something special for you, a Duplicator which duplicates any items you use -- you will never run out of anything again. However, it costs 500,000 gold. Try to get the gold close to where you found the mermaids icon in the tunnel that the oarsman takes you. It gives you 2000 a piece there -- not a lot but the best there is. Note: You have to get the good ending (by killing Dracula) first.

Effect: Easy sword level up
When:
During the game
How:
After you have acquired the sword familiar, go to the castle entrance. You will see a part of that level where merman are jumping out of the water. Stand on the left ledge. Take out the sword familiar and let it attack everything. This will take about four or five hours. Alucard will never be hit as long as he is on the left ledge. You can use the sword familiar as a weapon when it reaches level 50, or you can get the most powerful weapon in the game by letting it go to level 99.

Effect: Easy familiar level up
When:
During the game
How:
Note: This trick works with the bat, sword, fairy, ghost and demon, and requires a controller with a turbo feature. Equip the familiar card that you want to increase in level up. Equip a knife, such as the combat knife, and go to the place near the start of the normal castle where the zombies continuously appear. Set yourself up against a wall where you can attack them, but they cannot attack you from behind. Enable the turbo feature and keep the knife button held. You will continuously kill the zombies without getting hurt. This will slowly earn experience for your familiar card. Note: If the cards evolve, they will be automatically be put away afterwards and will gain any more experience until they are brought back out again.
Familiars increase mainly by number of kills rather than experience value, especially with Alucard at very high levels. Exceptions are made for Bosses (higher) and Blood Skeletons (none). Find a location where lots of enemies constantly replenish, such as in the Marble Gallery in the inverted castle, where Medusa Heads appear, or in the reverse Caverns, where large numbers of Dark Octopi can be found. Equip a fast weapon, choose your familiar, and start slashing.
Once you have a duplicator it is extremely easy to level up the familiars. Go to the reverse caverns in the area after fighting Doppleganger 40. In this area is a room with lots of Dark Octopuses. Drop down into the room and use a Bat Pentagram then a normal Pentagram and jump back out. Each time you do this, you will get 20 to 30 experience for the familiar, and it can be done many times in one minute.

Effect: Cowering Skelarangs
When:
During the game
How:
This trick only works at the start of the game. Attack a Skelerang with the short sword one time, then stand still and do not move. The Skelerang should crouch down on its knees and cover its head, and will stay this way until you move away from it.

Effect: Stuck Alucard
When:
During the game
How:
Defeat Richter Belmont and go to the Inverted castle. In the same area where you just defeated him, go to the torch that gives you the cross. Hit the switch above it, walk to the top and backdash down. He will do it twice, drop through it, and get stuck at the end.
