The Phonograph, also known as Record Player, is a special item which appears in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia. It allows access to listen to the game's soundtrack or change the background music which plays during the game, among other uses.
Game specific information[]
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance[]
The Phonograph in Harmony of Dissonance is a collectible which Juste can find to decorate a special room in the Castle Treasury where all collectibles are stored during the game. It doesn't seem to have any use other than to complete the collection and be able to watch a little variation at the ending where Lydie hangs onto Juste's shoulder. It can be found at the Skeleton Cave (Castle A).
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin[]
The Record Player is a reward for completing Wind's quest: "The Lonely Stage". Jonathan and Charlotte must venture back into the Dark Academy and find an "empty" room where only a grand piano stands. Waiting quietly for a few seconds will result in an apparition of a musician completing his last performance and departing from this world. After having seen the ghost, the player can then return to Wind to complete the quest and claim their reward.
The Record Player itself does nothing, though; it's required to possess at least one Record to listen to its music (from the five available in the game). At any point during the game, enter the 'Use' menu screen, select and activate any Record in possession - the background music will stop and the new melody will start playing. If the player isn't in possession of the Record Player (for example, if they sold it or haven't acquired it yet), then the Records in the player's inventory won't be able to be played.
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia[]
In Order of Ecclesia, the Phonograph is used to complete George's second quest: "The Killing Scream". Shanoa must use it to record the scream of a Banshee at the Monastery and bring it back to him.
