Defeating Dragon Zombies (Twin Dragons)
To defeat the Dragon Zombies easily, whenever you get hurt, jump up to the platform by the door where you entered the room and activate the Jupiter + Mandragora DSS combo to heal yourself. A fireball may hit you every once in a while, but it is very rare.

Use DSS In Battle Arena
In the Battle Arena, equip a good DSS Summon Combo (for example, Uranus + Cockatrice). Press Start, select "Items", then "Use", and use a "Mind High" (not a "Mind Restore" -- however they can work, but you will need to be extremely fast). Immediately after exiting the pause menu, press the DSS button. When your character is done casting, press Down, Forward, Up, Attack. If done fast enough, you should have pulled off a summon in the Battle Arena.

Spinning Attack
When using the whip, hold down Attack to make it spin around in a circle. It will act like a shield, so you cannot get hit by small enemies around you. Note: You cannot move while you are doing this attack.

Defeating Death
To defeat Death very easily, just activate the Jupiter + Manticore DSS combo. His sickles cannot hit you, and by this point in the game you will probably never run out of MP because this combo will use it slower than you can restore it.

Using Any Card Combination Even If You Dont Have The Cards
This will be probably the best code there is for Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. You have to have at Least 1 attack card and 1 attribute card, you switch to a regular combination of any cards that you have. Then you press L to activate it. While Nathan has his arms back, cape up, and a glow around him, you press strart and switch to any card combination. It doesnt show the cards that you didnt collect, but if you look in a strategy giude and it shows the order the cards are in you could use that. So anyway, after you switch to the card combination you want, unpause the game, and there you go!remember, if you run out of mind power or you press L again after you have your combination up, then you will have to do this process again.

Get The Bear Ring
To get the bear ring, you must have the clock sub-weapon and be able to have the item crush attack. Then you go to the secret spot on the left side of the tunnel that you drop down in the beginning. In there is another secret spot in the ceiling of that room. Break open the entrance, then cast the item crush attack with the clock. Directly after casting, super-jump up into the room above where there is a skeleton medalist. You must hurry and kill him before he runs into the wall and kills himself. If you are fast enough, you should get either the a toy ring, nothing, or on very rare occasions, a bear ring.(It is a good idea to save before doing this so that you save time and hearts).

Use All Dss Cards
To do this you have to tap the L button and half way through the power up push start. Go to dss and then select any of the cards you dont have but it wont tell what card it is you just have to select it. After you are done go ahead and tap L to stop. If you want to do it again you have to re-set the cards to re power up.

Defeat First Dracula Easily
(N.B. first Dracula is the one in the Ceremonial Room with Morris). On the "Items" menu select the night suit and a strenght ring on each arm. on the DSS menu select a strenght combo(e.g. Pluto and Thunderbird). Be sure to have the crucifix as sub-weapon. When you enter the room and Dracula finishes talking press 'L' and then move close to the vertical light, when he appears attack with the crucifix only. Then move to the door and repeat until Level Up appears twice. After Hugh takes Morris away, exit the room and go to the lowest part of the Ceremonial Room break the ground and there will be an HP max increase, take and return to where Dracula escaped (enter the beam of light and you'll be transported there.)

Turn Into A Bear
Equip the Bear Ring (from Skeleton Medalist in a secret room on the left side of the shaft you fall down in the beginning of the game) and activate the last two DSS cards (Pluto and Black Dog).

Turn Into A Skeleton
To do this you must have the last two Dss cards or do the Use any Dss Card cheat. So select the last two Dss cards on the right and while playing chant to turn in to a Skeleton, you can attack while in this mode by throwing Bones and you can even throw a relly BIG bone too. The only down side to the whole thing is that if you get hit once by a bad guy you will die, no matter if you have full health.

Use Cards You Don't Have!
First, make sure you have at least one action and attribute card. Then, activate those cards. In the middle of activation ( while Nathan is still yellow) pause the game. Go to the DSS section and put the cursors on the cards you want to use. When you unpause, Nathan will have the magic of the cards you don't have! Note: this code does not give you the cards. The slots remain empty.

Sword Draw Power Sign Stays
This is actually quite simple. Activate "Sword Draw" attack using the Mars and Griffon cards. While on a crumbleing platform, hold B to power up the draw. When you fall, you won't attack, but it will look like you are still chargeing up the move, even though you are not! Note: Combine Jupiter with any card. I'll leave what happens a secret.

Blue Nathan
This will take a while. But all you need to do is find an Ice Armor. Now, activate Jupiter+Black Dog. Stand very close to the Armor. When the spear hits, Nathan will get hurt, but he will not be frozen but still turn blue. Next time you get hit, you'll go back to normal.
