This is the most popular category for Symphony of the Night. It is well balanced and a good choice for first category to learn. There is only one route, but it contains some advanced and safer strategies runners can choose from.

Route
Prologue
In the Prologue, you play as Richter. Actions performed as Richter will determine the starting state of Alucard once the main game begins. These effects include:
- If the fight ends and Richter has 0 hearts, Alucard will start with a Heart Refresh in his inventory. - If Richter gathers more than 40 hearts (41 or more), Alucard will start with a Neutron Bomb. - If Richter dies and gets revived by Maria, Alucard will start with a Potion.
In the Any% Run, we want the first two of these. Therefore, you will need to gather 11 hearts before the fight starts. This is accomplished by: 1. Launch up into the ceiling to the treasure room (the one that the staircase comes down from. Don't extend the staircase though; although no opening is visible, Richter can still go through the gap). With proper alignment, Richter will strike the candlestick to the right, gaining 5 hearts. 2. After falling back down from the ceiling, strike the first candlestick and the vase on the table, These will give you 1 and 5 hearts respectively, adding up to the 11 hearts you need to collect. From here, go fight Dracula. You have 2 Hydrostorms available, and 11 normal floor-throws. The majority of these floor-throws will be tossed off-screen, just to get rid of them. This fight should be pretty easy. You just need to make sure not to finish off Dracula until you're down to 0 hearts to ensure that you get the Heart Refresh.
