Different Names

Once you complete Symphony of the Night, you will have the ability to play again with different types of things, depending on what you enter for the name.

Play as Richter Belmont This is the biggest one of them. If you enter Richter in the name screen, you will be able to play as Richter Belmont. This is very, very difficult, as you do not get the special weapons, or Life/Heart Max items that Alucard gets. Also Richter takes a lot more damage than Alucard did. But for those looking for the challenge, it is here. Complete with a different ending for Richter.

Play with the Axelord Armor If you enter Axelord in the name screen, you will begin the game with the Axelord Armor. The only thing you can do is swing your axe, or hurl it through the air. (Similar to the sub-weapon) Otherwise, it is just another armor to have.

You want to get every item in the game a lot faster? Type in X-X!V''Q. This will give your luck attribute a boost to 99. You will also come equiped with the Lapis Lazuli, which adds an additional 20 to your luck. Be warned that you will also begin the game far weaker than normal. Basically the bloody Zombie can kick your but hard core. Spend some time leveling up with this code, before your first encounter with Death. This way you can make full use of your Alucard items, before you are robbed of them.
