How to unlock the Forgive me, Father achievement in Castlevania Anniversary Collection - Definitive Guide

Enter "Help Me" for your name to start with 10 lives.

Here is the password to start the last level with Trevor and Alucard. You do not have to switch to him at any point to get the achievement. He just needs to be in your party. His attacks are weak but he can fly in bat form which makes the swinging pendulum part easier.

Blank, Heart, Blank, Blank
Heart, Blank, Blank, Blank
Blank, Blank, Heart, Blank
Cross, Cross, Blank, Heart

Be sure to save often and abuse the save feature as much as you can.

When you get to the room with the bridge going left and has 2 of those double headed things shooting fireballs, the 2nd which is by the door has collapsing floors in front of it. I found it difficult to get past without losing a lot of health or dying so I would just let myself get hit while running past it and jumping over it to the door. There is a checkpoint once you enter the next room. It's the only checkpoint of the level. I would let myself die there to respawn again at full health. One of the candles after that will have an axe. I recommend grabbing it and hanging on to it. Save your hearts and don't use it until the final Dracula form.

Dracula form 1:
He will spawn 2 pillars of fire. If you're moving around more, you're more likely to have them spawn farther apart which will give you more room to work. Ideally you want to have the closest one to him spawn close enough that you can reach with your whip. You must hit him in the head. Shortly after the first 2 spawn, another one will spawn under you. It takes a bit to get the timing down as when to move to avoid it. Because of the 3rd pillar of flame is why you want more space to work between the first 2 pillars.

Dracula 2nd form:
He has 5 heads that all need to be destroyed. Good thing about the whip is that it can hit multiple heads in one attack. It'll move back and forth throughout the room. You need to avoid the slime each head drools out any time you're under it. Fortunately the more heads you destroy, the less slime he can drool.

Dracula 3rd and final form:
He's now a big monster and you can to hit his head to damage him. This is where the axe is handy. Jump up and while in the air, throw an axe at his head. There are moving platforms that you can use to get higher and closer to his head if you wish. You just need to avoid getting hit by lightning bolts he emits from his hands.

At the last part, switch to Alucard. He can pick up hearts but also two power ups allowing him to fire three fireballs which makes killing all 3 stages of Dracula a breeze. For stage 2 finishing off can be done with Belmont using the axe hitting the head in the middle which can be a bit tough.

For whatever reason the password for Trevor + Alucard isn't working for my game. I went through my own play through and collected the following password for you guys

Blank-Cross-Blank-Blank
Heart-Blank-Blank-Blank
Blank-Heart-Cross-Blank
Cross-Cross-Blank-Blank

I hope this helps.

Whooh05, did you enter "help me" for your name as I stated at the state of the guide? The password I gave will not work unless you use the name Help Me.

(Missable)

You can recruit Alucard by clearing stage 5, where you will get the option to recruit him. Alternatively, you can start the game with Alucard using the password OKUTA.

The quickest and easiest way to earn this trophy is to use the following password, with the name “Help Me” to start with 10 lives at the beginning of the final stage.
 


Once you have Alucard, you can change characters using the . It should not be possible to recurit another character and lose Alucard since he is last. With Alucard in tow, you must beat the game. You can beat the game without even using Alucard, beating the game entirely with Trevor if you want. As long as Alucard is your spirit, this trophy will be earned.

This trophy is considered missable because if you do not have Alucard in your team when facing Dracula, you will have to start a new game or use a password to get him.
