Castlevania Portrait of Ruin
	Death glitch

SUBMITTED BY TRANSIENCE

After defeating Death, quickly skip the cutscene by pressing start. If done correctly, when you go out of the room, the boss door will close. If you go in, the door will close and there will be no way out.

Death glitch add on SUBMITTED BY SERRIS:

Activate the death glitch (i.e. skip the text after the battle), but don't leave the room. Now use Tempest. Many chains will appear out of nowhere, apparently protruding from somewhere outside the room, and follow the movement of your whirlwind.

How to progress AFTER doing Death glitch SUBMITTED BY SERRIS:

If you're one of the unlucky players who did the Death glitch and saved, don't fear, you don't have to start over!



1) Save the game.

2) From the left, go as far into the doorway marked with yellow as you can without actually entering the next room (use Jonathan for this). If done correctly, you shouldn't be able to see any of his face and very little of his head.

3) Make sure the top screen is showing the map. Enter the menu and suspend the game.

4) Select the skull icon next to your file and press Start to enter the menu immediately. Look at the map. If done correctly, the cursor will be sliding up the map along the yellow line when you unpause. Keep pausing and unpausing until the cursor is in the spot marked with green.

5) Suspend and load the game. If done correctly, you will reappear in a room near the spot you suspended in. Depending on where you are, make your way to either of the spots marked with red.

6) From the left, go as far into the doorway marked with red as you can without actually entering the next room (use Jonathan for this). If done correctly, you shouldn't be able to see any of his face and very little of his head.

7) Suspend and load the game. If done correctly, you will reappear in the spot marked with blue, between the Death boss door (DO NOT ENTER) and the elevator switch. Hit the switch to activate the elevator and ride it down to Master's Keep. Check the map to find the save room nearby and save. Congratulations, you have overcome the Death glitch dead end!
