Summon Four Holy Beasts

:This article is about the invincibility spell. For the beast sub-weapons, see Four Sacred Beasts.
Maria Renard is able to Summon Four Holy Beasts (also known as the "Four Symbols") in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Her Four Holy Beasts (Suzaku the fire bird, Genbu the turtle, Seiryuu the dragon, and Byakko the white tiger) are summoned, which grant herself or an ally temporary invincibility. During the prelude stage, Final Stage: Bloodlines, she casts the spell if Richter loses all his health during his battle against Dracula. She continues praying during the rest of the battle, which prolongs the effects of the spell. Richter is unable to take damage while this spell is active, until he is able to defeat Dracula.
In the Sega Saturn version of Symphony of the Night, the playable Maria is able to cast the spell on herself by entering the sequence ↑↗→↘↓↙←↖↑ (hold) ↓ + [ATTACK]. For about 34 seconds, she becomes invincible and able to damage enemies on contact, with the damage dealt by her Drop Kick, High Jump, Slide, and sub-weapons also being doubled.
In the original version of Grimoire of Souls, the player character can summon Maria with an Alter Art, where she will cast this spell. Instead of granting invincibility, it heals the person who summoned her as well as any nearby allies. This ability is no longer available in the Apple Arcade version of the game.
