Once you are familiar with the major skips and the overall route, start up a run and work your way through the route. It Throughout the run, you will encounter or be near to several Save Rooms, Life Vessels, so use them to your advantage if you are ever low on health or about to enter a tough section. During the Prologue, as Richter, your goal is helpful when to gather at least 41 Hearts, then enter the throne room to trigger the fight with Dracula. If you grab 45 Hearts, you are will have enough to use three Item Crashes with the Holy Water, which is enough to destroy Dracula in both his forms combined with your whip. After the Prologue, as Alucard, your first starting out goal is to take full advantage execute the Neutron Bomb [[Death Skip]], grab the Cube of Zoe, defeat Slogra and Gaibon, and enter the many Save Rooms Marble Gallery. From there, you will encounter along continue on to the fight with Doppelganger, and then activate the elevator in the Outer Wall and grab the Soul of Wolf Relic. Then, return to the Clock Room, and use the Wolf transform to jump off the candle and reach the left pathway once the Statue is no longer in the way . Once you reach Olrox's Quarters, break open a secret wall to keep the right of the Spectral Sword and break open the middle vase in that room to acquire an Onyx. Return to the room with the Spectral Sword, then proceed onto the Colosseum, and obtain the Shield Rod. With the Shield Rod and the Alucard Shield both equipped, you can execute a special move by pressing both attack buttons at the same time that will give your shield the magical property to deal damage, heal you, and regenerate your hearts. This move consumes mana when you cast it, as well as whenever you have your shield out, so use it only when you are about to collide with an enemy or boss.
