Rename Form of Wolf to Soul of Wolf
= Standard Route =
The standard route requires knowledge of how to perform the following glitches: [[Castlevania:_Symphony_of_the_Night:Glitches#Death_Skip|Death Skip]], [[Castlevania:_Symphony_of_the_Night:Glitches#Faerie_Card_Shop_Glitch|Faerie Card Shop Glitch]], [[Castlevania:_Symphony_of_the_Night:Glitches#Richter_Skip|Richter Skip]], and [[Castlevania:_Symphony_of_the_Night:Glitches#Relic_Skip|Relic Skip]]. You collect the following Relics, listed in order: Cube of Zoe, Form Soul of Wolf, Form of Mist, Faerie Card, and Soul of Bat.
== Prologue ==
*Obtain the Cube of Zoe Relic
*Pick up a Stopwatch sub-weapon
*Obtain the Form Soul of Wolf Relic
*Pick up a Garnet
*Enter the Left Statue Path in Clock Room
After the Prologue, and for the remainder of the game, you play as Alucard. A few rooms into the run, you will come across a section where the game tries to force you into a cutscene with the Grim Reaper (also known as Death), who steals your starting equipment. If you execute the [[Castlevania:_Symphony_of_the_Night:Glitches#Death_Skip|Death Skip]] glitch, however, you can bypass this cutscene and keep all of your starting equipment, which is some of the strongest equipment in the game.
During the Clock Rush section, the goal is to make your way to the Outer Wall and obtain the Form Soul of Wolf Relic from the elevator shaft, use a wolf stair jump to reach a vase on a high-up ledge and break it to get a Garnet, and return to the Clock Room while the path is open. If you reach the Clock Room while the path is closed, you will be forced to wait until the statue moves out of the way to progress. For example, if you arrive at the Clock Room when the internal timer is at 7:50, you will have to wait 10 more seconds before the path opens up.
Once you have the Form Soul of Wolf Relic and Garnet and are in the Clock Room with the path open, you can jump above the left candle, transform into Wolf in mid-air and untransform immediately while still above the candle. Doing this enables Alucard to then perform a dive-kick by holding Down and pressing Jump while still in the air. The goal is to bounce off of the candle, which will give you enough height to reach the open path.
