Rinaldo's Shop . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ RINASH14 ]= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Like in the past Castlevania games, as the series turned to a more RPG approach, you were allowed to shop at a merchant's store to buy yourself Potions, Weapons, etc. Well, Lament of Innocence is no exception. Throughout the game, Rinaldo has his shop setup, which you can return to it at any time you wish, even faster if you use a Magical Ticket. The farther you go through the game, the better hies wares become, so be sure to stop in frequently to see what Rinaldo is selling now. It's also a good idea to stop in here and there, as if you get stuck, Rinaldo will give you some advice. Also, at any point in the game you have something you want to sell him, you can, as he'll take anything of yours, except vital Equipment, but unlike Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night, you aren't limited to just selling Jewels, so keep this in mind if you're just a few bucks away from buying that new piece of Armor. To talk to Rinaldo, press the Triangle or Square Button and the following will appear: Buy - Lets you cycle through his current wares. Select the one you wish to buy, then select how much you wish to buy, confirm your selection and continue on. Sell - Lets you cycle through your Items and sell anything you don't want to Rinaldo. Select an Item, then select the quanity, confirm it and then continue on. Exit - Leave Rinaldo's Shop. All the Items in the window will show you the name and then next to them, a number. This number shows you how many you currently have in your possession. If you happen to have 9 of an Item, it'll be greyed out in Rinaldo's Window, as you have the limit to what you can buy. (5 if you are playing Crazy Mode.) And finally, to the far right is the price for each Item. Note: The Mobius Brooch will appear here once you complete the game on Crazy Mode. It will sell for $200,000, so be prepared. Item Name |Price --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Potion |200 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- High Potion |800 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Serum |100 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uncurse Potion |100 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Magical Ticket |200 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memorial Ticket |800 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diamond |10,000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ruby |3,000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sapphire |2,000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Opal |1,000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turquoise |800 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zircon |400 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music Box |3,150 (Appears after you complete the game.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earth Plate |1,000 (Appears after you've uncovered 15.0% of the Map.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meteor Plate |2,000 (Appears after you've uncovered 35.0% of the Map.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Moonlight Plate |4,000 (Appears after you've uncovered 60.0% of the Map.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solar Plate |15,000 (Appears after you've uncovered 80.0% of the Map.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sacrificial Doll|2,000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jade Mask |999 (Appears after you complete the game.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- White Bishop |3,000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = XV. Secrets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ SECRE15 ] = =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Boss Rush Mode - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unlock Boss Rush Mode with any character, simply beat every Boss in the game, including Forgotten One. Afterwards, just head to the room where you choose to go to each of the five areas of the castle and in the center will be a new tile to stand on, which is Boss Rush Mode. Just be VERY prepared before you enter it, as you will be fighting EVERY Boss in the game, but you'll get Potions and Hearts after each one. Other than this, there is no reward for beating Boss Rush Mode, other than seeing how long it took you to beat it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Crazy Mode - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unlock Crazy Mode, beat the game with Leon and after the credits, you'll be given a password to play the game through on Crazy Mode. Crazy Mode is just like a more difficult game, where this time, where this time you can carry even less amounts of Items and Enemies are slightly harder. If you manage to beat this Mode, you'll unlock the Mobius Brooch at Rinaldo's Shop. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Easter Eggs - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: These are NOT confirmed for the US Version of the game. - In the House Of Sacred Remains, if you hit the girl/goat statues 50 times with the whip, the head will fly off and fall down. - After beating Boss Rush Mode once, go back to the remains of Forgotten One. Keep hitting his hand with the whip or kicks and Items will appear as awards after certain combo hits. (15, 20, 40, etc.) - In the Dark Palace Of Waterfalls, head to the room with the Great Axes are swinging. If you enter the old Konami code (Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, X and O Buttons.) and stand on the line of the Axe mark on the floor, "-" signs will appear on the bottom of screen and it will record how far you jump right before the axe hits you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Item Duplication Trick - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apparently, there's a way to duplicate your Items and even make a good sum of money very fast. To do this, enter the castle and head to the west through the door that leads to the Save Room and the room to the other 5 parts of the castle. In the hallway here, near the Save Room, look on the carpet for a green moon that's shining through the window. Go and stand on it and face out the window, then open up your Menu and go to your Items. Scroll down the list and you'll notice that your Items are going up in number now each time you go over them. Sweet, huh? This can be used on Diamonds, which can net you a VERY huge profit to get you money fast and easy. Update: There's a new place where you can clone Items at. In the Pagoda Of The Misty Moon, right as you reach Floor 2, on the carpet there's a circle design here. Stand near it and head into your Item List and go nuts. Update Again: There's yet another place now where you can clone Items. Yet again, it's in the Pagoda Of The Misty Moon and it's right outside the room where you get the "VI" Tablet from. Standing in the light again just like back in the Prelude To The Dark Abyss/Castle Entrance and head to your Item List and have fun. Update AGAIN: Yet ANOTHER spot has been found. In the long hallway before the room where the machine that changes the "VI" Tablet to the "IV" Tablet and where the Save Room is, right before the path to Walter, standing on the circular design here, head into your Menu and you can clone your Items. Jesus, how many of these things are there? Note: Not only can you clone your regular Items, but you CAN clone your other things, such as Whips, Armor, etc, even though most of it proves useless, but hey, something to know. Also, apparently, since the game design of levels in this game is repeated alot, ANY area of the Pagoda Of The Misty Moon that has the design to it that is the same as the areas where you can clone Items will also allow you to clone Items there. I'm not sure how many areas remain, but I'll do some research. If you have found a place I haven't mentioned, feel free to let me know and I'll give you credit. Not sure if there's any other places besides the one at the start of the game as well, since there MAY be other places to do this in other parts of the castle. Oh well, we'll see. ANOTHER Update: On the 1st floor of the Pagoda Of The Misty Moon, in the corridor where there are two Chaos Swords and two Death Reapers. (Which is between the room with lasers/platforms and the big room with the only Mirage Skeleton.) It's about a little above half way on the left side of the carpet's edge. Between the 3rd from the bottom from the left up pillar in the left wall and the left middle/2nd torch pedestal. (The Moon shines around the area, but it's not directly in its light as far as I can tell.) Then, there's yet another one: In the Pagoda Of The Misty Moon, on the 2nd Floor, the right side, there's a long corridor with the 3 Lizard Knights and 1 Gaap. If you come from the north/top of the Map, it's the second circle emblem on the green carpet, to the left of it. Thanks to Ket for this! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Start The Game With All Skills - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a game with all of Leon's Skills already learned, first complete the game, then enter @Llskill and Leon will start with all his Skills. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Unlock Playable Character Joachim Armster - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To play as the Vampire, Joachim Armster, that Leon met in his game, complete the game with Leon and after the credits, you'll be given a password to play as Joachim, which is @Joachim. Unlike Leon, he can not use equipment of any sort, including Items and he can't use Sub-Weapons. He uses 5 Swords to attack with and can attack two different ways with them. He has 2 magic attacks, but it depends on which way you're using the Swords at the time. He starts off very weak, but most of the Items in the game are stat increasing ones to him, so by the end, he will be eventually more powerful than Leon. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Unlock Playable Character Pumpkin - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To play as the...er...unique character, Pumpkin, complete the game with Joachim and after the credits, you'll be given the password to play as Pumpkin, which is @Pumpkin. He plays out just like Leon, only he has more Attack and Defense, but less HP and MP, though he starts with all of Leon's Skills and has only one Sub-Weapon, the Pumpkin Bomb and it CAN be mixed with Orbs, which is good. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = XVI.

Ket - For pointing out another location in the Pagoda Of The Misty Moon where you can duplicate your Items. Thanks!
