I have this game and this game alone for my GBA, so I play it without stopping
hardly ever. One of the main parts of this game is persistence. Most of my friends
played it until they could beat Dracula at the end of the game but for me its a
breeze because I'm at level 99(which is the highest you can go to by the way), and I
have more equipment than a wealthy machine shop mechanic has.
The first thing you have to do in this game is get to the save point. you go down
two levels of rock then jump over onto a ledge and enter an opening. Once inside
stand in the middle of the platform of the save point and push up. The game will ask
you if you want to save. Put in yes. This gets you started on your game. There are
many of the save points throughout the game and they all help you a whole lot.
Another of the wonderful things in this game is the "jump" points. There are only
five of them but they help more than you could know. These rooms are just like
saving rooms but with a lit up doorway that you walk into to "jump" to the next
point.
Mind Power is one of the most important things once you've gotten a couple of DSS
cards. DSS (Duel Setup System) uses cards that can be powered or turned on by
pressing the L button as explained in your instruction booklet. Even though I like
most of the other card actions my favorite IS the Uranus+Cockatrice. This summons up
the Cockatrice and I find that this attack is the most powerful on ALL of the
enemies in the game. I say that the worst of the cards is the Black Dog Card. It
doesn't do to much good, and does a lot of bad. While going through the castle try
hitting all of the lanterns with your whip and knocking them out. The effect of this
is knocking out hearts that help you throw sub-weapons. (Most powerful is the
crucifix for attacking). Use these wisely. They run out quickly.
Before you can get the Uranus and Unicorn cards the best healing card application is
the Jupiter plus Mandagora card which makes you stay in one spot to get healed but
still heals you when you are far away from a save point which also heal you when you
walk up to them.
Don't forget that you can use the slide manuever to get through the first part of
the game when the poisonous worms slide towards you. Good Luck, and happy Vampire
Hunting!:-)
