Hints

Easy Boss kills

To kill any Boss rather quickly, equip the throwing knives and stand some distance away. Throw the knives as quickly as possible and you should deal a considerable amount of damage each time. Note: Olrox, Shaft, and Dracula will not go down as easily and Richter Belmont is immune to them.

Easy "Bloodlines" achievement

In the first area, hit the first lamp and get the cross. Keep hitting other lamps to get hearts. Get your heart level up to about 90 or 100 then start the fight with Dracula. He will first fire a stack of three fireballs directly at you. Before he fires, jump and throw a cross near him, then duck and hit the fireballs. They will disappear and you will not be injured. Dracula will do this attack two more times. He will then fire two large black fireballs at you. They cannot be hit with the whip and must be dodged. First duck, then jump up to avoid them both. Continue to do this until he transforms. You should still have a lot of hearts remaining. Get close to him and press Y to activate the super attack. You must be somewhat close so that the crosses actually hit him. Continue to do this until he dies.

Glitches

Walk through walls

This trick requires two Heart Refreshes, a Duplicator, and a Library Card. Equip both of the Heart Refreshes and the Duplicator. Jump into an open doorway as if you are going to go through it. When you think you are about to go through, use one of your Heart Refreshes. While the first one is going, hold the button to activate the seconed one. When the second one is going, hold the button for first one repeatedly. You will slowly go under the ground. When you are in the floor, make sure you do not go down all the way. Just make sure you do not go too far down. When you are down far enough, you can move around freely.

Note: Do not use any transformations while underground, otherwise you will not be able to use any item and become trapped.

Save room

Use the "Walk through walls" glitch at the first area (the one with the drawbridge) and fall below the map. Go towards the drawbridge and you will fall into a hole leading to an underground cavern. There are only two ways to go; up, which leads back to the main floor, or right, which takes you to a glitched save point which does work.
