Armory Anytime
Find the large gear room in the Castle Frankenstein's basement. Stand on the wooden platform on the right side of the room, then use the grappling hook to reach it. Additionally, jump on the stallions while fighting Demon Verona on the stagecoach. Get knocked off the stallions by of the brides. An intermission that shows Van Helsing getting dragged under the coach will appear. Repeatedly tap Circle while under the coach to collect the cheat icon.

Use your grappling hook and it will take you to a stone door. Use your Gatlin Gun upgrade to start a intermission sequence and it will be Armory Anytime.

Defeating Vampires
When you get to the part where you have to fight the three Vampires, take out the one on the left first. When the center Vampire is going to attack, she will make a screeching type of sound. When she does that, get ready to dodge her attack. When she uses her lightning attack, hide behind the pillar. When you take out the Vampire on the left, the center Vampire will transform. The transformed Vampire will land on the ground and remains still. Back away and do not get hit when she dives after you. If you follow this and attack at the correct times, you should be able to defeat them.

Beating Dracula For Good
The last you that you fight Dracula have your Tojo Blade out and ready! When he swoops down on you hit with your Tojo Blades and it seems that there is a glicth and it sends Dracula in to floor! After he is inside the floor sgoot him with your Pistols and it kills him with one hit! This worked good for me and maybe it will for you.

Defeating Zombies
When you are facing the weird skeleton zombies the best way to kill them is to shoot them rapidly until they come close. Then you now can take them out easily with your tojo blades or other melee weapon.

Battling IGOR The Second Time
When you fight IGOR the second time, use your electric gun. Now go to the left and jump on the ledge there and stand on the rock that is there(towards the ledge). Hold R1 and hold the square button. You will not get hit much and he takes a lot of damage quick!! When he even appears in front of you, the shock will knock him off. Only works in the second battle.

Dead Game Makers
This is just an eye candy tip, but it's funny! When you get to the graveyard for the first time, check out all the tombstones they all have the names of the people who made the game. I checked it out.

Lightning Rifle
Here's how and where to find the Lightning Gun: first, when you get to Frankenstein's castle for the first time, keep going until you get to a room that has alot of green tubes, there will be a platform in the center. Get on top and your grapple icon should be glowing. Use your grapple gun to get there and a movie starts. This is where you fight those bats. Go forward to the end of the room where you'll see a door. Your grapple icon should be glowing again use the gun and it should take you to a high place there you will find the Electric Gun! This is a long process but when you have played as long as I have, it'll be a piece of cake!

Archaic Cholths
This Cheat is one of the most fun cheats because Van Helsing gets dressed like a noble with a velvet tunic and silver trim boots. This is found while fighting Dracula in his lab. You must jump into the barrel of green liquid (located next to wolf man) through out the combat. But if you die you won't have the cheat in tour inventory and will need to gather it again before beating the master vampire.

Lightning Gun Upgrade
Okay you got my tip for finding the Electric Rifle. Now here's how to find the upgrade. After beating Dracula for a second time, that's the end of mission 7. Now mission 8's objective is to escape Castle Frankenstein. That means you'll be leaving the way you came in. When you get to the Green Tube Room some of the tubes have fallen. Look to your left in the puddle of green ooze closely you should see something glowing. Congratulations! You found the Electric Gun Upgrade!
