The Duplicator is an Accessory in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Description[]
The Duplicator enables its bearer to use as many of a use item as desired without losing them. It only appeared in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, where it is the most expensive item available in the Master Librarian's Shop, purchasable for the incredibly large amount of 500,000 Gold. The accessory is only available on a replay of a cleared game file or on a new file created on the same Memory Card/Stick housing a previously saved clear game. Equipping the Duplicator reduces several statistics as a penalty for using it (CON, INT and LCK by 10, and DEF by 20).
It is commonly used with the Mana Prism for infinite MP, the Potion or Mana Prism to abuse invincible frames, and the Buffalo Star for ultra-fast boss kills in speedruns, where the Sword Brothers jewel-duplicating glitch is used to purchase it. The Duplicator can also be combined with the Heart Refresh to produce a wall-clipping glitch, enabling the use of out-of-bounds for shortcuts, sequence breaking, or map exploration/filling (which also permanently boosts the Walk Armor).
The Duplicator will only duplicate items which are equipped in Alucard's hands; if they are used by a Faerie Familiar, the total will still go down.
Using a Meal Ticket repeatedly with a Duplicator equipped allows Alucard to quickly fill missing Food items from the collection.

Trivia[]
- Another game that features "infinite use items" is Castlevania: Order of Shadows. Beating Hard Mode in this game allows the player to start a new game with all items already available and with unlimited usage for all.
