- The Vampire Killer: The legendary Belmont Clan's Heirloom Whip, wielded by several heroes over the ages in their quests to stop the Dark Lord Dracula. The Vampire Killer is closely linked to the Belmont lineage, and only the member of the clan may wield it. If someone who isn't a Belmont tries to use it, the whip will slowly drain their life. It was formerly known as the Whip of Alchemy, a considerably weaker magical weapon created by the alchemist Rinaldo Gandolfi. The whip was changed into its present form by the sacrifice of Sara Trantoul, Leon Belmont's fiancée. Sara had been afflicted with vampirism, but her heart was still pure. Her spirit was merged inside the whip through a ceremony, enabling the weapon to awaken to its full power. The Vampire Killer is a Holy and Vampiric Weapon, empowered by a soul that is both tainted and pure. It is capable of destroying all evils. Moreover, Vampire Killer can also nullify or reflect magic and projectiles with its mere touch. It also weakened Dracula's powers so much that he could not resurrect himself or use his powers to escape for several years.
