Castlevania - Strategy Guide (Page 04)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Castlevania - Strategy Guide (Page 04).

Common Death: N/A


 --------------
|| Spiderwomen ||
 --------------
Level: Grunt
Half top woman body, lower legs of a spider.

Some spit out acid and poison, other swipe with a spear. No matter how 
many you kill, they mostly will keep coming. Running away is often the 
best choice since no award is given.

Common Death: Chokes on own poison and then the lower body turns red.


 ------------
|| Bloodborn ||
 ------------
Level: Peon
A T-1000 blood edition.

The bloodborn rises from a puddle of blood and unleashes acid, you 
guessed it, blood. Nothing hard at all since it carries a low hit rate.

Common Death: Soaks back into darkened pool of blood.


 ----------------
|| Sword Lizards ||
 ----------------
Level: Grunt
A grey/green lizard that carries a small sword.

The lizard man comes in separate forms, this one involves shields and 
swords. It also tends to spit acid out of it's mouth so try to stay 
close, not provoking the spit attack.

Common Death: Is thrown onto it's back and squeals it's last breath.


 ---------------
|| Fire Lizards ||
 ---------------
Level: Grunt +
A deep red lizard man that spits fire and carries a sword.

In the Castle Center these lizard men often stay in one place, but spit 
out fire in ALL directions so beware if taking any chances while holding 
nitro. They cannot be killed so dropping down to kill them is worthless.
However, in the underground waterway, they can be defeated, keep your 
distance the fire is quick.

Common Death: Lands on it's back screaming to get up.


 -----------------
|| Poison Lizards ||
 -----------------
Level: Grunt
A red and green mixture lizard man that spits heavy poison.

These often come from the depths of the poisoned water. They are fast 
but don't use the poison attack that much.

Common Death: If near poison, will fall directly back into it making a 
large splash.


 ------------------
|| Guardian Knight ||
 ------------------
Level: Grunt
Large gold, grey or reddish knights that come alive.

Often most guardian knights will not come alive but when they do, stay 
back because they hold a powerful reach.

Common Death: Head flies back as body turns to ashes.


 --------------
|| Medusa Head ||
 --------------
Level: Peon
Small dumb looking floating heads of the snake haired Medusa.

Easy foe but often comes out fast and from the fog. Use the cross to hit 
multiple targets.

Common Death: Turns into small pieces and vanishes.


 -----------------
|| Blood Skeleton ||
 -----------------
Level: Peon +
A deep red skeleton who hurls bones toward you.

This one mostly stays in it's place and hurls bone after bone toward 
you. Hit it twice or so and run past it, it cannot be defeated since it 
will get back up after a short time.

Common Death: N/A


 ----------------
|| D-60 Auto Gun ||
 ----------------
Level: Grunt
A metallic cylinder with a powerful gun attached.

The thing to worry about the D-60 is the range. Some are mounted on 
ceilings, others are rotated on the floor, but they go off in your 
direction if found. It is wise to be powered up or to use special 
weapons to take out the majority of these, and take another route from 
them if possible.

Common Death: Gun explodes almost as good as a Gasoline Barrel...


 ------------
|| HydroBorn ||
 ------------
Level: Peon
A lite blue version of the BloodBorn.

Mostly the only threat that it holds is pushing you off the side into 
the levels giant pit. Running past them may be risky, but it is not 
worth the effort to put up a fight.

Common Death: Water + Smack Down = slip n' slide


 ------------
|| PussBorn ||
 ------------
Level: Peon
A dark green version of the BloodBorn

This enemy is RARE but does appear mostly with a helper. The same 
tactics can mostly be used here, wait till they come up and break in to 
the attack before they can pull it off.

Common Death: Reminds me of that old 16-bit game.... Boogerman....

========================================================

++++++++ Castlevania Commercial ++++++++

Running Time: 14 Seconds
Aired On: MTV & FOX

The spot begins with a gritty shot of someone sharpening a crude stake. 
The Stake is then slid into the belt of a man in a long trench coat. A 
quick shot of a Vail of Holy water appears and is also slid into the 
belt. Without warning a metal cross (I love the sound it makes) is 
flipped and slid into the side of the belt. Then we get a quick shot of 
Schneider (the actors face is in the shadows) and then the womans 
narration begins "Killer Outfit..." The Metal cross shines and moves the 
shot to an actual gameplay shot of a coffin lid blowing off and then 
Schneider meeting a zombie/vampire "too bad the night life sucks..." 
Shot of the first skeleton boss "Castlevania..." Shot of dying dragon 
"for the Nintendo 64, from Konami." Shot of the Castlevania title and 
Schneider taking a nice whiff *spew* of a bag of garlic.

++++++++ Castlevania Poster ++++++++

Available At: Most Video Game Outlets

The poster mostly goes over the speech the woman made in the commercial 
spot. It has a few good screenshots posted to it and uses an old looking 
font for the lettering. You do actually get to see the actors face (he 
almost looks like Dennis Quaid!!) but he looks nothing like Schneider.
