Hints & Tips
Beating Dracula When your fighting Dracula at the end, wait
to attack him until you become a werewolf. Or he will
be invincible. After using Tojo Blades fro some time, you will hear
a scream and you will become a werewolf. In a while, you will briefly be Van
Helsing. Also, your background will be bluish when you are a werewolf and normal
when you are not. Note:
Dracula stays normal until attacked so you will be okay until you become a
werewolf.
Beating Vampires When you reach the part where you need to fight the
three Vampires, take out the one on the left first. When the middle
Vampire is going to attack, she will make a screeching
sound. When she does, get ready to dodge her attack. When
she uses her lightning attack, hide behind the pillar. When you
kill the Vampire on the left, the center Vampire will transform.
The transformed Vampire will land on the ground and stay still.
Now back away and do not take a hit when she dives after you. If you
do this and attack at the right times, you should be able
to beat them.
Beating enemies When a Boss or other strong enemy grabs you, keep
on pressing L1 (Shoot) to take away
a lot of life away
from them.
When you have the gattling gun upgrade from Dracula's Tower, press
L1 when you have your ammunition meter up to shoot the
upgrade. Also hold R1 +
X +
Square and press a
direction to dodge and shoot. It is quicker than standing and shooting
the gun. It will also make beating enemies quicker.
Mission 5: Easter Egg puzzle Even though you are told to kill every gargoyles have them knock into the
statues. This is an easier way to finish this mini-game.
