Fire Boomerang Super Jump

In order to perform a Fire Boomerang Super Jump, Alucard must have the Soul of Wolf Relic, a Duplicator, and two Fire Boomerangs. You must equip one Fire Boomerang to each hand.

To perform the technique, you must do the following in very quick succession:

  1. Alternate throwing out 3 of each Fire Boomerang so that 6 Fire Boomerangs in total are flying across the screen.
  2. Immediately follow this up with a jump followed immediately by a Wolf Transformation.

If performed correctly, you should see Alucard's color palette glitch and Alucard will very quickly ascend upward until one or more of the Fire Boomerangs leave the screen. At that point, Alucard's color palette will return to normal and will begin falling again.

If you have trouble hitting all of the inputs in quick succession, it can be helpful to bring up the Map after throwing out the final Fire Boomerang so that the jump can be buffered while leaving the Map followed immediately by the Wolf Transformation.

Sometimes the game will limit you to only throwing out 4 or 5 Fire Boomerangs at one time. Also, transforming into Wolf will occasionally cause the Fire Boomerangs to disappear. It is unclear why either of these things happens, but if it does, you will have to start the trick over from the beginning.

This trick is used in the Pacifist category of the game.
