A Castlevania Fan Discovers a New Konami Code in a 1999 Game

Use it to unlock all characters from the start.

Tl;dr

  • The game Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness features a new Konami code.
  • This code allows players to unlock all characters and their alternate costumes.
  • It was discovered by Moises and LiquidCat on the Castlevania 64 Discord server.
  • JupiterClimb suggests it could be a developer shortcut accidentally left in the game.

An Unreleased Konami Code Found in the game Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness

Despite some flaws such as blurry graphics and hesitant gameplay, the game Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, an enhanced version of the original Castlevania for Nintendo 64, remains a video game classic. While we might think that a game designed in 1999 would no longer hold any surprises, that is not the case.

Surprising Discovery

A new Konami code was uncovered by Moises and LiquidCat on the dedicated Castlevania 64 Discord server. It was then shared by YouTuber JupiterClimb. This code, accessible by simply doubling the inputs of the original Konami code (↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A, twice), offers a unique opportunity to fans of the franchise.

Unlocked Features

With this code, players can instantly unlock all playable characters in the game – Cornell, Reinhardt, Carrie, and Henry – along with their alternate costumes and even the hard mode. Without using this code, it was necessary to complete the game twice to access these options.

More than Just a Code

In addition to the main code, Moises and LiquidCat also discovered codes that allow players to fill all inventories, regardless of the character played in the PAL and JPN versions of the game. Players can also maximize their jewels and weapon power.

JupiterClimb speculates that this code was probably a developer shortcut accidentally left in the game, a mishap that has occurred with other Konami titles.” In any case, it’s a fun surprise that breathes new life into this 25-year-old vampire game.
