[edit] Whips

These are the different whips that can be found or purchased throughout the land. Once you pick one up you discard the old one; it can not be re-equipped later or sold. Each whip is twice as powerful as the previous one.

Whip	Location	Cost	Notes
Chain Whip	Town of Veros	150 Hearts	The best you'll have for a while, so get it as soon as possible.
Flame Whip	Near Bodley Mansion	Morning Star	The best whip in the game, but only available if you have the Morning Star.
Leather Whip	--	--	You start out with this whip.
Morning Star	Town of Oldon	200 Hearts	Worth the cost as it is necessary to get the strongest whip, the Flame Whip.
Thorn Whip	Town of Jova	100 Hearts	Skip it as the town of Veros isn't far and you can get the more powerful Chain Whip there.

[edit] Weapons

Weapons can be found or purchased all around, and you are not limited to carrying only one at a time. You have unlimited usage of a few, most notably the holy water, however most of the stronger ones cost hearts per use.

	Weapon	Location	Cost	Use	Effect	Notes
	Dagger	Town of Veros	50 Hearts	0 Hearts	Throws a dagger a short distance.	Goes a bit further than the whip, making it very useful for getting at enemies on platforms.
	Diamond	Near Town of Aldora	--	1 Heart	A large diamond shoots out and bounces around the scree.	Optional, but very useful and worth the trip to get.
	Gold Dagger	Braham Mansion	--	2 Hearts	Upgraded form of the Silver Dagger, defeat Death to get.	Best range and power of the three daggers; worth the fight.
	Holy Water	Town of Jova	50 Hearts	0 Hearts	Throws a vial of holy water a few feet in front of you.	Not particularly useful as a weapon, but the mansions are next to impossible without it, as you use it to detect fake floors. Also used to destroy blocks to get to secret items and shortcuts.
	Sacred Flame	Dabi's Path	--	1 Heart	A fireball is thrown a few feet in front of you, creating a vertical column of fire.	Basically what the holy water weapon is in most other Castlevania games. Useful at times but not a necessity.
	Silver Dagger	Aljiba Graveyard	--	1 Heart	Throw a dagger across the entire screen.	The same as the dagger, but with better range. Use garlic in the graveyard to get.

[edit] Parts

The five parts of Dracula, which are found at the end of a different mansion. You'll need a stake to break the orb containing the part. In addition to being important to the plot, parts can be equipped and will give you a special ability, much like the crystals.

	Part	Location	Effect
	Dracula's Eyeball	Braham Mansion	Allows you to get clues from hidden messages.
	Dracula's Heart	Rover Mansion	Causes the Ferryman to take you to Braham Mansion.
	Dracula's Nail	Bodley Mansion	Certain blocks can be destroyed by the whip.
	Dracula's Rib	Berkeley Mansion	A protective shield appears that blocks certain projectiles.
	Dracula's Ring	Laruba Mansion

[edit] Crystals

There are three different crystals, each of which is needed once. You purchase the first one and trade for the other two.

	Crystal	Location	Cost	Notes
	Blue Crystal	Town of Aljiba	White Crystal	Needed to get into Rover Mansion.
	Red Crystal	Town of Aldora	Blue Crystal	Needed to get into Bodley Mansion.
	White Crystal	Town of Jova	50 Hearts	Needed to see an invisible platform in Berkeley Mansion.

[edit] Consumable items

Unlike most other items, these items can only be used once. You will need several of each over the course of the game. Both the garlic and laurels can be purchased in the towns of Aljiba and Aldora. It doesn't matter which town you buy them in, as both places charge 50 hearts for a set of two. The oak stakes can be purchased in any of the mansions, usually near the end, for 50 hearts a piece.

	Item	Use
	Garlic	Used to find hidden items and people.
	Laurels	Become invincible for a few seconds, mostly used to survive the poisonous marshes.
	Oak Stake	Break the orbs containing Dracula's parts.

[edit] Relics

These two items enhance your abilities automatically once you receive them. You do not have to equip them, and they are always "on".

	Relic	Found	Effect
	Magic Cross	Laruba Mansion - defeat Carmilla	Necessary to enter Dracula's Castle.
	Silk Bag	Graveyard	Carry twice as many garlics and laurels and boosts defense slightly.
