1029: Skip to Boss cheat code - unlocking secret games fast in PS2 Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection
8Using a cheat code newly posted in a comment on my OLD Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection game unlocking video by @HEHEHE_I_AM_A_MASKED_WARRIA to skip directly to the boss in the Vampire / Darkstalkers games in Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection on PS2, and demonstrating that you can use this cheat code, beat the boss, and, if you were playing in the correct additional secret mode (Shadow/Soul or Marionette mode--see details below), that will indeed count as fulfilling the beat-the-game requirement to unlock the secret version of that game.
Skip to the boss:
From the "Press Start" title screen, or from a game's animated intro, press and hold [], O, and R1, then press Start to advance to the game's main menu, with "ARCADE" highlighted--if you're still correctly holding [], O, and R1, then "ARCADE" will be highlighted in blue. Still holding Square, Circle, and R1, press Start again. Select your desired character, and the game will go directly to that character's boss fight.
Unlock the secret version of Vampire Savior:
Beat Vampire Savior in Shadow (aka "Soul") mode. To play in Shadow mode, press Start 5 times with "?" highlighted on the character select screen.
Unlock the secret version of Vampire Hunter 2:
Beat Vampire Hunter 2 in Marionette mode. To play in Marionette mode, press Start 7 times with "?" highlighted on the character select screen.
Unlock the secret version of Vampire Savior 2:
Beat Vampire Savior 2 in Marionette mode. To play in Marionette mode, press Start 7 times with "?" highlighted on the character select screen.
Access the unlocked secret games:
Once a game's secret version is unlocked, you can access it by holding the Select button while choosing the regular version of that game from the collection's main rotary menu. The secret versions of the games have all 18 of the non-secret/alternate characters visible on their character select screens, instead of just 15.
Play as Dee in the unlocked secret games:
In the secret games you can get a new secret character, Dee, by hitting Start 9 times with "?" highlighted on the character select screen.
I did the full play-throughs to unlock the secret games, without the skip-to-the-boss cheat, a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGsLhMJCieg
(Oh and in Vampire Savior, Jedah jumped right to Demitri in the Fetus of God with the code because that IS Jedah's normal last battle in Arcade mode, forgot about that. : P)
(I'm not sure that was Oboro Bishamon I faced after the boss in Hunter 2 and Savior 2, because according to cheats lists, to face Oboro Bishamon, not only do you have to not lose a round before then, which I guess I did thanks to the skip cheat, but supposedly you have to use a specific EX Finisher move once or twice, which I'm pretty sure I DIDN'T do. But it looked like him as far as I can tell...hm and I DIDN'T get him in Vampire Savior, which has a similar requirement....so I guess that was him and I must'a done whatever moves were required accidentally in H2 and S2. Cool. OR maybe Marionette mode made it happen, I dunno.)
