checked-part =>Goddess Astronomy Puzzle: Gold on 2, Red on 4, Blue on 8. =>Dracula Power-Up: Once you leave the Clock Tower you will begin climbing a long staircase. Dracula's room is the third chamber up, and you'll notice it has a large pillars of flame on each side of the door. Jump onto the platform holding the flaming torch, then follow the ledge around the back of the tower. Smash the standard torch in the back for some red jewels. Now, walk straight from the location of the jewel torch to the torch on the platform out in space - you will walk over an invisible platform. Smash the torch and grab a healing kit. You can also get a healing kit by examining each of those large pillars of flame. =>Alternate Endings and Battles: If you take too long to reach the end of the game, or use too many cards (four, perhaps?), you will be forced to fight your dear associate Charlie and garner a "bad" ending. * Renon's Contract: If you buy more than a total of $30,000 worth of items from Renon during your game, you will be forced to battle him at the end of the game. This does not cause a bad ending, however. ->Hard Mode: In the first stage, the Silent Forest, you will find a platform floating next to a bridge. Jump to it, smash the torch, and you'll get a green jewel that will appear on your item list as Secret #1. Complete the game, save, and you will now be able to play on the hard difficulty mode. ->Reinhardt's Alternate Costume: In the Tower of Execution, make your way up to the third level and smash open one of the iron maidens to find the Execution Key. Return to the second level and open up the locked iron gate. Walk through the hallway and look over the edge to find a floating platform with an iron maiden; jump to this platform and smash the maiden to find Secret #2 - a purple jewel that will enable Reinhardt's alternate costume once you beat the game. When you start a new game and are choosing your character, press U to switch to the new costume. ->Carrie's Alternate Costume: At the top of the Tower of Sorcery, right before the exit, you see a floating platform with a torch. Toss Holy Water and the path to the platform should become visible. Smash the torch to earn Secret #2 - a purple jewel that will enable Carrie's alternate costume once you beat the game. ->Hedge Maze: At the entrance to the garden hedge maze, look up to the right and you should see a platform. You can climb up to it using an invisible ledge right in front of it. Oh... when running through the maze with Malus, first turn left, open the door (now unlocked), then go left, right, right, left, left, left, right, right, enter the gate and grab supplies, exit via the gate and run right, left, right, left, left, right. Now take a leisurely jaunt down the passage, grab the key, walk through the Villa, reenter the maze, run like crazy down the long passage towards the tower, then enter the door to the right. ->Unlimited Cash: After killing the bull in the Castle Center, move back to the white save crystal. A large crate should be somewhat nearby; smash the crate to get $2000. Save the game, reload, and repeat. =>Time Events: * Villa: At 3 a.m., Rosa will appear in the rose garden in the villa. Talk to her then. * Courtyard: At midnight, a platform will rise in the courtyard fountain, allowing you to nab the items on top of the fountain. =>Items: Examine most statues to earn chickens or slabs of beef. ->Replay Clock Tower: Once you complete the Clock Tower with Reinhardt and walk through the third door, ride the elevator up the right side of the tower rather than climbing the staircase. On the roof of the Clock Tower, run off of either of the two edges of the roof that face the staircase. Fall for a bit, then hold the jump button. If timed correctly, you will end up landing on the platform where you fought Death. Go down the elevator here and you will arrive at the beginning of the Clock Tower stage. ->Dual Tower Shortcut: Fight the first miniboss, climb up the ledge and hop to the next platform. Look down from the corners of this platform. From one of the corners, you will be able to see some platforms floating down in the liquid on the floor of the tower. Run and jump off the platform and try to land on those floating platforms in the liquid. Proceed along this path and you will fight the last miniboss, thus skipping about three minibosses.
