Chairs are normally found in the background (such as in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood), but some games allow the player to sit in them. This normally has little effect other than providing atmosphere.
Game specific information[]
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night[]
Alucard was first able to sit on chairs in Symphony of the Night. The one time in the game where sitting in a chair has a gameplay effect is in the confession booth in the Royal Chapel. Sitting in the chair on the sinner's side will summon a ghost priest to appear on the other side. If the priest does not attack Alucard, he may drop a Grape Juice (or Wine in the original Japanese versions). Sitting on the priest's side will instead summon a ghost lady who, likewise, may attack Alucard or confess him her sins.
Olrox has a banquet table set up in his quarters. He is initially found sitting on a chair at one end of the table and invites Alucard to sit on the other end, which he can do for an undetermined period of time before the battle commences. Unlike other chairs found in the game, these can be destroyed.
All chairs in the Reverse Castle cannot be sit in.
The Sega Saturn version of the game features the exclusive item, Song Lyrics Card. When equipped with a Fairy Familiar summoned, sitting on a chair for a while will cause the fairy to perch on Alucard's shoulder and start singing a tune.

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance[]
The Chair and Rocking Chair form part of several collectible items that can be found in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance. They cannot be sat in, but instead are used to decorate a special room in the Castle Treasury, which if fully furnished, enables a small animation during the best ending of the game.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow[]
Chairs are one of the objects thrown by Ouija Tables. Capturing this enemy's soul grants Soma Cruz the Relaxation ability, which allows him to restore both HP and MP while sitting in chairs. Other than standard chairs, Soma can also sit on some wooden chests with the same height, like those in Hammer's shop.
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness[]
- For the "Rocking Chair" collectible item in Harmony of Dissonance, see Collectibles.
The concept of sitting in a chair is greatly expanded in Curse of Darkness and is a major, if still mostly inconsequential, component of the game. Chairs of different types can be found hidden throughout the game. Sitting in each chair may cause a different effect. The Save Room itself is a room with a chair, which is the most common chair in the game. There are also Warp Devices that allow transportation through the maps, and gunneries which also have their own seats.
Each map has a hidden chair that serves purely as amusement. In addition, there is a Chair Room in Cordova Town which contains a copy of each chair Hector has sat upon during the course of the game, making this a hidden minigame where the player can "collect" the chairs by sitting on them.
After finding (and sitting) on all possible chairs in the game, the final chair, which contains a huge "Complete!!" sign, will appear in the middle of the Chair Room as a manner of trophy. However, this chair can only be found after completing the game and continuing with a "CLEAR" save file, as the final chair is Dracula's Throne, which is inside Dracula's boss room, and once it is entered, both the Magical and Memorial Tickets won't work anymore to escape it.
