Alternate Scarlet Symphony -Final-

What's new

Alternate Scarlet Symphony -Final- is the final cut of pddmergilla's remix of Symphony of the Night. Seventeen bosses and many regular enemies get new AI and attack patterns, so most fights can no longer be won by just trading hits. Enemy placements change in several areas, the castle layout and the order you progress through it are different, and there is a new boss rush mode, a hidden spell and a surprise final boss on the way to a true ending.

Alucard also handles better: you can recover from hits in mid-air, keep control after dropping off a ledge, turn into the wolf instantly and fly the bat more easily. Equippable items can be used with a shortcut button without opening the menu, defense now reduces damage by a percentage, and dying sends you back to your last save room instead of a game over screen.

Richter and Maria get modes of their own, with levels, items, relics that unlock new moves and their own pause menus.

Playing it

The hack is made for the US PlayStation release. The creator's SOTN Editor, a browser tool for building your own Symphony of the Night hacks, can apply it to your own copy of the game after checking it, or you can apply the patch yourself; the GitHub page explains both ways. Build F.04 came out on November 9, 2026 with a layout fix for the Chapel.
