Alucard is the main protagonist of the game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. This represents his second appearance in the series (after Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse) and the first time a non-Belmont took the main role in a Castlevania game. Unlike other playable characters (Richter Belmont and, in some versions, Maria Renard), Alucard has a menu system that he can use to equip various weapons, armor, and other items. His quest also features an advanced role-playing game system and an in-game storyline.

In the English versions of the game, Alucard is voiced by Robert Belgrade (in the PlayStation version) and Yuri Lowenthal (in The Dracula X Chronicles version).

Starting abilities and equipment[]

Alucard starts the game with very basic movements and attacks. A trailing afterimage appears behind him as he moves, jumps, and back dashes. He is equipped with the powerful Alucard Sword in one hand, which can do a standard attack as well as a special warping strike. The Alucard Shield is equipped in the other hand, which can block a Merman's fireball. He wears the Alucard Mail, which offers excellent DEF and resistance to Fire, Thunder, and Ice attacks, and the Twilight Cloak, which improves his CON. He also starts the game equipped with the Dragon Helm, which frightens enemies, reducing the amount of defense they have, and with the Necklace of J, which provides a boost of 5 to DEF (for more information about Alucard's equipment, see page 2 and page 3).

Other items that Alucard starts with depend on what actions were taken with Richter Belmont during the Final Stage: Bloodlines prologue or the name entered on the Name Entry screen. If all Hearts were used up during the battle, a Heart Refresh will be in the inventory. If Richter was carrying 41 Hearts or more when he talked to Dracula, Alucard will start with a Neutron Bomb. If Richter lost all health and Maria had to intervene, Alucard will start with a Potion, though he will not start with a Heart Refresh if he otherwise would have. Using the name X-X!V''Q will grant Alucard a Lapis Lazuli, and, on a replay game, using the name AXEARMOR will give him an Axe Lord Armor. In the Saturn version, Alucard always starts the game with a Monster Vial 1 in his inventory.

Alucard starts the game with the ability to perform any spells that do not require an item (except for Soul Steal, which requires more MP to cast than he initially has). They can only be performed at the beginning of the game by trial and error or by remembering how to perform them, as the key sequences for their casting are not available at the start of the game (see Secret spells).

Alucard starts the game very strong, but as he nears the end of the first stage, he will encounter Death, who will rob him of his Alucard Sword, Alucard Shield, Alucard Mail, Dragon Helm, Twilight Cloak, and Necklace of J. Alucard will then be forced to fight with his empty hands and much reduced defensive options. A side quest of the game is to get back these stolen heirlooms.

Stats[]

Alucard's initial stats and items are determined by Richter Belmont's battle performance during the introductory stage:

  • If the entirety of the prologue is finished in exactly 1 minute or less, Alucard earns +5 to all stats. It should be noted, however, that such a feat is legitimately impossible until the player beats the game and starts a new playthrough with a clear file on the memory card, as the "Die, monster" dialogue is unskippable otherwise.
  • If the fight is finished within 1-2 minutes, Alucard earns +2 LCK.
  • If the fight is finished within 2-3 minutes, Alucard earns +1 LCK.
  • If the fight is finished in more than 10 minutes, Alucard earns +1 CON.
  • If Richter manages to kill Dracula without taking any damage, Alucard earns +5 HP and +1 to STR, CON, INT, and LCK.
  • If Richter finishes the prologue with half or more of his HP remaining, Alucard earns +1 STR. Otherwise, he earns +1 CON.
  • If Richter loses all of his HP, Maria Renard will make him invincible for the rest of the battle. Alucard then starts with a Potion in his inventory. This condition overrides all other conditions, except for the Neutron Bomb (INT or STR point) condition and the time-based conditions: +5 to all stats (1 minute or less), LCK +2 (1-2 minutes), LCK +1 (2-3 minutes), and CON +1 (10 minutes).
  • If Richter finishes the prologue with the Cross sub-weapon equipped and without Maria's help, Alucard earns +5 MP and +5 Max Hearts.
  • If Richter finishes the prologue with the Holy Water sub-weapon equipped and with half or more of his HP remaining, Alucard earns +5 Max Hearts and +1 INT.
  • If Richter defeats Dracula without having a sub-weapon equipped and without taking any damage, Alucard gains +5 to HP and LCK and +1 to STR, CON, and INT. (The Flame Whip can be used and won't affect these bonuses, but it's also useless in most versions of the game. This applies to all "no sub-weapon" conditions.)
  • If Richter finishes the prologue without having a sub-weapon equipped and with half or more of his HP remaining, Alucard earns +5 HP and +1 STR.
  • If Richter finishes the prologue without having a sub-weapon equipped and with less than half of his HP remaining, Alucard earns +1 STR.
  • If Richter is carrying 41 or more Hearts when the dialogue with Dracula begins, Alucard starts the game with +1 INT and a Neutron Bomb in his inventory. Otherwise, he gains +1 STR.
  • If Richter finishes the prologue with no Hearts and without Maria's help, Alucard starts the game with a Heart Refresh.
  • If Luck Mode is enabled, all stat bonuses are lost, only item bonuses will be kept.
  • In the Saturn version of Symphony of the Night, Alucard will always start the game with a Monster Vial 1 in his inventory.

Combining the best of these bonuses (by finishing the prologue within exactly 1 minute or less and without taking damage), Alucard can start the game with 85 HP, 25 MP, 55 Max Hearts, 14 STR, 13 CON, 13 INT, and 17 LCK (if carrying no sub-weapon at the end of the battle); or 80 HP, 30 MP, 60 Max Hearts, 13 STR, 12 CON, 12 INT, and 12 LCK (if carrying the Cross); or 80 HP, 25 MP, 60 Max Hearts, 13 STR, 12 CON, 13 INT, and 12 LCK (if carrying the Holy Water). Note that if Richter had 41 or more Hearts when the dialogue with Dracula started, Alucard will have 1 more INT point and 1 less STR point. Alucard's default stats without the bonuses are 70 HP, 20 MP, 50 Max Hearts, 6 STR, 6 CON, 6 INT, and 6 LCK, but because an extra STR or INT point is always awarded, the default STR or INT is actually 7, depending on the amount of Hearts Richter was carrying when talking to Dracula.

Map exploration[]

Alucard can fully explore the castle, but he is initially limited by the lack of certain abilities. He can't reach the area behind the statues in the clock room of the Marble Gallery or fully explore the Clock Tower until he gets the Leap Stone relic from the Castle Keep, which allows him to double jump.

He can't open magically sealed blue doors until he purchases the Jewel of Open relic from the Master Librarian in the Long Library. This allows him to access the Royal Chapel and reach the Castle Keep, where he can acquire the Leap Stone.

He can pass through grates once he acquires the Form of Mist, which can be found in the Colosseum. Once in possession of the Mist Form, he can retrieve the Soul of Bat from the Long Library. With the Bat Form under his grasp, the castle will open up, and he'll be able to fully explore most of its areas. He can then obtain the Echo of Bat relic from Olrox's Quarters and use it to traverse the dark spike rooms in the Catacombs to obtain the Spike Breaker armor, which grants him the ability to break spikes by touching them. This will allow him to meet Maria Renard in the Royal Chapel to acquire the Silver Ring. By defeating the Succubus in the Underground Caverns, Alucard will get the Gold Ring. Once in possession of both rings, he can meet Maria in the Castle Center, below the clock room in the Marble Gallery. There, she'll give him the Holy Glasses, which will allow him to access the Reverse Castle.

Once Alucard acquires the Devil Familiar (or Nose Demon), he can access some rooms in the Abandoned Mine and in the Cave that require this familiar to trigger a switch to open the passage to them.

There are some underwater ceiling rooms in the Reverse Caverns that will only open on the map if Alucard reaches them in Wolf Form. If the Holy Symbol has been acquired, Alucard will be able to stay in Wolf Form underwater, and the Skill of Wolf relic allows the Wolf to swim by pressing the [Special] button (the default PSX button is Triangle), which can help obtain these rooms. In the Saturn version, there are only two rooms that require the Wolf Form to open on the map. Both are in the left lake area, where the room with the Force of Echo relic is located. The Wolf can't swim in this version, so Alucard will have to double jump (or High Jump) and then turn to Wolf at the apex of the jump to open the rooms. Both rooms are on the ceiling of the upside-down lake in this area. The right lake area (where the room with the Alucard Shield is located) does not require the Wolf Form to open any room. Richter and Maria can also get these rooms in this version.

Alucard can keep the room where he fights Shaft by entering the battle and then escaping with a Library Card.

The maximum percentage Alucard can achieve is 200.6% (1890 rooms) (211.2% (1990 rooms) in the Saturn version). There are glitches that allow Alucard to achieve a higher percentage. One of said glitches allows him to access the unused rooms and save point under the trapdoor in the Entrance and Reverse Entrance. This is possible by using the double Heart Refresh glitch. This area can be accessed normally in the Saturn version and leads to the Underground Garden (for more information about Alucard's relics and abilities, see page 3).

Alucard

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night / Entrance / First Encounter with Death

When: Shorty after arriving at Dracula's Castle

Summary: Death meets Alucard in an outdoor area overlooking impaled skeletons. He confirms that Alucard is still on the side of humans and intends to interfere with them. He steals the high-grade equipment Alucard was donning, then laughs and takes his leave for now.


North America version (original) - [transcript][video]:

Death: Ah, Alucard. What is your business here?

Alucard: I've come to put an end to this.
Death: Still befriending mortals... I'll not ask you to return to our side. But I demand you cease your attack.
Alucard: I will not.

Death: You shall regret those words... We will meet again.

Death: Ah, Alucard. What is your business here?
Alucard: I've come to put an end to this.
Death: Ever the insolent boy... but there'll be no games here. If you will not behave, begone.
Alucard: I will do neither. Step aside, old man.
Death: Ha! Such arrogance. Very well... but I shall see you very soon.

(Death steals all of Alucard's equipment and scatters them throughout the castle. He then leaves with laughter)

Death: Oh, if it isn't Master Alucard... What could possibly have brought you here?
Alucard: You already know that... Now stand aside.
Death: I presume you are still befriending humans, yes? I dare not ask you to rejoin us... But do not raise your arms against us, at the very least.
Alucard: I cannot meet your request.
Death: Then I am left with no choice... I shall withdraw from here. Just use this opportunity to reconsider things...

(Death steals all of Alucard's equipment and scatters them throughout the castle. He then leaves with laughter)

Alucard

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night / Marble Gallery / First Encounter with Maria

When: First meeting with Maria at the Clock Room in Marble Gallery

Summary: Maria is leaning by the large clock when Alucard enters the room. She notices that he appears human, yet something seems off about him. She asks what he is doing there, and he indicates he intends to destroy the castle. She is happy to hear that since that is also her goal, and they introduce themselves, though she notices he doesn't have the gift for gab. She takes her leave, indicating perhaps they'll see each other again if he is able to survive long enough.


North America version (original) - [transcript][video]:

Maria: You seem human and yet... What do you here?

Alucard: .......... I've come to destroy this castle.
Maria: Then we have the same purpose. I'll trust you for now. I'm Maria. Who are you?
Alucard: .......... Alucard.

Maria: Not the talkative type I can see. Well, perhaps we'll meet again if you live that long. Farewell.

Maria: Well, if you're a better swordsman than a speaker, perhaps I'll see you again. Farewell.

Alucard


When: As crossing Blue Door

Summary: Alucard runs across Maria again. She is perplexed that the castle doesn't seem to be the same as she remembered it. He explains that as a creature of Chaos, it can take many forms. Maria is relieved she's not going crazy and they part again.

Alucard: ...Dracula's castle was spawn out of Chaos. It is not bound to a single form.
Maria Renard: That means everything I knew won't be of much help... I suppose there's no use dwelling in it. Thank you, and farewell for now.

Alucard

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night / Royal Chapel / Third Encounter with Maria

When: After defeating Hippogryph

Summary: After defeating a Hippogryph, it's apparent that Maria had been watching their battle and she comments on how strong he is. Alucard wants her to get to the point. She then asks him what he knows about Richter Belmont and explains she's been searching for him.


North America version (original) - [transcript][video]:

Maria: Impressive. You're very strong.

Alucard: .......... What is it you want? You didn't come here to tell me that.
Maria: You're right. Do you know the name Richter Belmont?
Alucard: Of the Belmont Clan? Of course, but...
Maria: He disappeared about a year ago and I'm sure he's here. If you see him, please let me know.
Alucard: As you wish, my lady.

Maria: Thank you. So you do know how to be a gentleman.

Maria: He disappeared about a year ago. I'm sure he's here now. If you see him, please let me know.

Maria Renard: He disappeared about a year ago. I'm sure he came here, though. If you find him, please let me know.

When: Battle with Shaft (When not talked with Richter)

Summary: Alucard meets Shaft in the center of the second castle, who is not surprised that the son of his lord was able to make it there. He explains he made Richter the lord of the castle to defeat any other vampire hunters that would come along to stop them. Even though Alucard defeating Richter seemed to put a damper in his plans, he is certain that Alucard can replace him once he's rid him of his human side.


North America version (original) - [transcript]:

Shaft: You have done well in making it this far. I would expect no less from the son of our Master.

Alucard: So you are the one who was controlling Belmont.
Shaft: Yes. I am the dark priest called Shaft. This world must be cleansed in the forge of chaos.
Alucard: Why did you make Belmont lord of this castle?
Shaft: For centuries, vampire hunters have defeated evil with holy power. But if two vampire hunters were to fight each other...
Alucard: But Belmont's power is supreme among vampire hunters. None other could defeat him.
Shaft: Exactly. That's why I removed him as a threat by making him into lord of this castle.
Alucard: But your plan has failed.

Shaft: Has it indeed? We'll see what happens after I destroy your weak human side.


North America version (new) - [transcript][video]:

(Alucard enters the heart of the castle where Shaft is awaiting him. The lift gate locks)

Shaft: All hail the son of our Master! Stronger than the mightiest hunter!
Alucard: So you were the one controlling Belmont.
Shaft: Yes. The dark priest called Shaft, come to cleanse the world in the forge of chaos.
Alucard: You made Belmont lord of the castle. Why?
Shaft: Because we tire of these hunters and their holy power. If they would but turn on one another...
Alucard: ...Then the strongest one among them would eliminate the rest. Belmont.
Shaft: Yes. So I converted him, brought him here to lure the rest, to force them all to fight and die.
Alucard: But you never planned for me. And now you've failed.
Shaft: Ha! Your human soul is frail as his was. You'll take his place-- I'll tear that soul apart!
(Shaft transfers himself into a large crystal ball)

(Alucard enters the heart of the castle where Shaft is awaiting him. The lift gate locks)

Shaft: Because we tire of these hunters and their holy power. If they would but turn on one another...
Alucard: ...Then the strongest one among them would eliminate the rest. Belmont.
Shaft: Yes. So I converted him, brought him here to lure the rest, to force them all to fight and die.
Alucard: But you never planned for me. And now you've failed.
Shaft: Ha! Your human soul is frail as his was. You'll take his place-- I'll tear that soul apart!

Shaft: よくぞ、ここまで来られた。

さすが我が主の御子息よ。
Alucard: ベルモンドを操っていたのは、
貴様だな。
Shaft: いかにも。
我こそは暗黒神官シャフト。
この世に破壊と混乱を導く者だ。
Alucard: なぜ、奴を城主として
奉り上げた?
Shaft: 吸血鬼ハンターは古来より
聖なる力で邪悪を滅ぼしてきた。
だが、ハンター同士が戦えば…?
Alucard: ベルモンドの力は他を圧倒する。
同じ性質の力なら、
まず倒す事はできまい。
Shaft: その通り。
奴を操り城主に据える事で、
儀式に邪魔な者を排除したのだ。

(Alucard enters the heart of the castle where Shaft is awaiting him. The lift gate locks)

Shaft: I'm impressed that you've made it this far, but I should expect no less from our Master's son.
Alucard: So, it was you who'd been controlling Belmont.
Shaft: Indeed. I am the dark priest called Shaft... I vow to guide this world into destruction and Chaos.
Alucard: Why did you set him up as the lord of this castle?
Shaft: Since ancient times, the vampire hunters' holy power has allowed them to annihilate the wicked... And yet, what if they were to turn on one another?
Alucard: None could stand against the power of the Belmont. It may be matched, but never destroyed.
Shaft: Exactly... So I used him as a puppet to rule this castle, eliminating those who would interfere with the ritual.
Alucard: But that is as far as you'll go.
Shaft: Oh, I wonder about that... For you see, the final sacrifice has just arrived. The mortal half of you will perish here!

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (new-only) / Reverse Castle Center / Shaft Battle (name known version)

When: Battle with Shaft (When talked with Richter)

Summary: Alucard meets Shaft in the center of the second castle, who is not surprised that the son of his lord was able to make it there. He explains he made Richter the lord of the castle to defeat any other vampire hunters that would come along to stop them. Even though Alucard defeating Richter seemed to put a damper in his plans, he is certain that Alucard can replace him once he's rid him of his human side.

Shaft: All hail the son of our Master! Stronger than the mightiest hunter!
Alucard: So you are the one called Shaft?
Shaft: I am he.
Alucard: You made Belmont lord of the castle. Why?
Shaft: Because we tire of these hunters and their holy power. If they would but turn on one another...
Alucard: ...Then the strongest one among them would eliminate the rest. Belmont.

Alucard: I could never forget... But Mother never wished for revenge against mankind.

Alucard: Go back whence you came! Trouble the soul of my mother no more!

Dracula: How? How is it that I've been so defeated?
Alucard: You have been doomed ever since you lost the ability to love.
Dracula: Ah...sarcasm. 'For what profit is it to [a] man if he gains the world, and loses his own soul'?. Matthew 16:26 I believe.
Alucard: .........
Dracula: Tell me. What... what were Lisa's last words?
Alucard: She said "Do not hate humans. If you cannot live with them, then at least do them no harm. For their's is already a hard lot." She also said to tell you that she would love you for all of eternity...

Dracula: Lisa, forgive me. Farewell my son...


North America version (new) - [transcript][video]:

(Alucard slashes his father with his blade)

Alucard: Go back to the abyss! Trouble the soul of my mother no more!
Dracula: H-How?! How could I have lost?!
Alucard: You lost your heart. Your soul. You'll never win without them.
Dracula: Ah, how poetic. So I tragically sacrificed all I held dear in a search for power, did I?
Alucard: ...Did you not?
Dracula: ...Hmph. Tell me. What... What were Lisa's last words?
Alucard: She said, "Do not hate humans. If you cannot live with them, then at least do them no harm, for theirs is already a hard lot." ...She also said that she would love you. For eternity.
Dracula: Lisa, forgive me... Farewell, my son...

私の敗因であるとはな…。

リサは最期に何と言ったのだ…?

もし、人間が許されない存在で
あるなら、自ら滅びの道を歩む。

手を下すべきではないと…。
そして、父上…。

Alucard: Go back whence you belong! Do not torment my mother any more!

Alucard: The power... When you have something to protect, you can overcome your limits. You lost the one you love; and when you stopped loving... you had already lost.
Dracula Vlad Țepeș: I see...... How ironic... So you're saying that the cause of my defeat was my thirst for power....
Alucard: ............
Dracula Vlad Țepeș: Alucard, tell me. What did Lisa say in the end?
Alucard: "Do not hate humans. If you do not forgive humans, you'll walk on the path of your own destruction. Beings from outside shouldn't pass judgment on the residents of this world." And then, Father... she said she would love you for all eternity...
Dracula Vlad Țepeș: Lisa... Was I wrong...?
