Wraith
Skin: In mission eleven, put the egg on the pedestal. Then,
successfully complete the Rising Blood challenge.
Mission
one cheat icon: When you first can use the grapple, you will see something white
glowing. It is the cheat icon. After using your grapple, jump and get it.
Completion
bonus: Once you have completed the game and wait for the credits to
roll, you will be prompted to save your game on a new game option. Do so and
you can start the game with all previously unlocked cheats, power-ups, and
items. Additionally, the hard difficulty setting will be unlocked.
Hint:
Defeating enemies: When a Boss or other strong enemy grabs you, keep pressing L1
(Shoot) to take away great amounts of life away from them.
When you have the gattling gun
upgrade from Dracula's Tower, press L1 when you have your ammunition
meter up to shoot the upgrade. Hold R1 + X + Square and
press a direction to dodge and shoot. It is faster than standing and
shooting the gun. It also makes defeating enemies faster.
Hint:
Defeating Dracula: When fighting Dracula at the end of the game, wait to attack him
until you turn into a werewolf. Otherwise, he will be invincible. After
awhile of using Tojo Blades, you will hear a scream and you will become a
werewolf. Later, you will temporarily be Van Helsing. Also, your background
will be bluish when you are a werewolf and normal when you are not. Note:
Dracula remains normal until attacked -- you will be okay until you turn
werewolf.
Hint:
Defeating Vampires: When you get to the part where you have to fight the three
Vampires, take out the one on the left first. When the center Vampire is
going to attack, she will make a screeching type of sound. When she does
that, get ready to dodge her attack. When she uses her lightning attack,
hide behind the pillar. When you take out the Vampire on the left, the
center Vampire will transform. The transformed Vampire will land on the
ground and remains still. Back away and do not get hit when she dives after
you. If you follow this and attack at the correct times, you should be able
to defeat them.
Hint:
Mission 5: Easter Egg puzzle: Although you are instructed to kill all the gargoyles, just have
them knock into the statues. This is an easy way to complete this mini-game.
