Cheats and Codes for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse on PC

The whip is also a grappling hook

Rose Belmont's Vampire Killer isn't just used to hit enemies: she grabs onto handholds scattered around the level to swing over obstacles, gaps, and downed enemies, much like a circus trapeze artist.Using it even outside of combat saves you real-time and keeps you out of harm's way as you traverse the map's most treacherous areas.

Seal bosses with Tarot cards to inherit their powers

After defeating a boss, use a Tarot card to seal it and transform it into an Arcana: this way you gain its powers, including spells, which you can recall whenever you want.It's a good idea to do this on every boss you defeat, not just the first ones you encounter—some of these abilities come in handy much later in the map, in combinations that aren't obvious at first.

Slide and wall jump are already unlocked from the start

Unlike many Metroidvanias, here you don't have to wait for a power-up to slide under low gaps or bounce between two nearby walls: you have them from the first hour of the game.Use them right away to shorten the route to areas that at first glance seem unreachable.

Retrace your steps when you find a suspicious wall

The map is full of destructible walls and areas that are visible but blocked until you get the right ability to reach them.Make a note of these spots when you first encounter them: many hide useful items or shortcuts that only open after unlocking the correct move later in the game.

Manage your three starting potions wisely

Start with three healing potions, not a single supply to ration endlessly: use them without hesitation in the toughest fights instead of saving them for later, as the game provides more along the main path.
