Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Cheats

If you're interested in making the max amount of money in the game (999,999), try the following. Just be sure that as you attempt this, you have at least one sellable gem or jewel in your inventory, like a Diamond. It must be unequipped. You must also have access to the Sword Brothers spell (via the Sword familiar).

Now, head to the Library, and go to the location of the Librarian, the game's only merchant. Stand next to his desk and cast Sword Brothers (Down, Down-Right, Right, Up-Right, Up (for two seconds), Down-Attack). If executed correctly, you can then talk to the Librarian as the spell is being cast.

Doing this will glitch the game, allowing you to access your inventory from the Librarian's own menu. Now, remember that unequipped jewel or gem we mentioned earlier? Equip it from this menu, then go to sell that very jewel or gem. However, it won't be sold. Instead, it will duplicate 255 times in your inventory, which you can then sell to the Librarian for massive amounts of gold, including the maximum amount of gold (if you have the patience).

Unlockable: Other Characters

Unlockable: Alucard with Axelord Armor

Enter the name AXEARMOR.

Unlockable: Play as Richter

Simply beat the game as Alucard, then in a new save slot, give “RICHTER” as the character’s name.

Unlockable: Music Select

To gain access to the excellent soundtracks, complete the game (fully, with over 190%) with Alucard and restart a brand new game with Alucard (do not cover over the old one). When you get to the Librarian, simply walk up to him and a music select option will appear with the 'buy/sell' box.

Hint: Effortless Experience Gain

To get effortless experience follow these simple steps:

play through the game like normal until you get your bat familar.
at this point go back to near the start of the game where the zombies keep coming out of the ground.
then all you do is stand on the step on the stairs where the zombies can't reach you and turn your bat familiar on. Just make sure that you are far enough away that the zombies won't hurt you if your familar misses one of them.
The bat familar will kill most of the zombies that appear, also make sure you are looking in the direction of the zombies or the bat will not hit them.

The best part about this trick is that the familar will kill the zombies and both he and you will get the experience making this absolutely simple in gaining levels. In three hours my bat went from level 2 to level 60!

Hint: Slightly Better Stats

The beginning of SotN pits you against Dracula in a battle that’s theoretically impossible to lose. However, if you manage to defeat Dracula in a short time and without taking a single hit, you will begin the game with Alucard having slightly stronger statistics, including a minor boost of five hit points.
