Introduction | .=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=. My last guide, for Command & Conquer: Renegade (my Metroid Fusion Boss Guide didn't get placed on gamefaqs.com for unknown reason) was a succes, if I'm allowed to put it like that. I even won $50,- for it. The last update for it was more then a year ago, and I think writing a guide again is a nice way to celebrate my one year as guide writer. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow is another new Castlevania game. And as always, it'll be a game every Konami fan wants. Let me tell you right away; I never played a CV game before. Shame on me I know. With this game I hope to have some fun and get to know the world of Castlevania. Back to CV again, I really like platformers. I played Metroid Fusion 2 times so far, but I assure you that won't be my last time. I'm planning to beat the game in under one hour, which will be a very hard task. Enough with the talking, let's get serious. _/\/\_ \_oO_/ .-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-oOOo(______)oOOo-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=. | 02. Story | .=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=. The year is 2035. Japan. Crowds of spectators are gathering around in anticipation of the first full solar eclipse of the twenty-first century. My name is Some Cruz, and I am a high school exchange student studying abroad in Japan. I live near the Hakuba Shrine, an ancient shrine with strong ties to Japanese mythology. Mina Hakuba, the only daughter of the shrine's caretaker, is both my classmate and my childhood friend. I started making my way to the shrine to see the solar eclipse with Mina. But, for some strange reason, the stairway leading up the shrine felt longer than usual, as if something was trying to keep us from our destination. When I finally managed to get through the shrine gate, and my senses began to dim... The pitch black sun is holding chaotic darkness together, trying to rouse a sleeping soul as if looking for its missing other half... _/\/\_ \_oO_/ .-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-oOOo(______)oOOo-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=. | 03.

He's a transfer student and he came to the shrine to watch the eclipse with Mina. Mina Hakuba - The daughter of the shrine's caretaker and your classmate and childhood friend. Genya Arikado - A strange and mysterious person. It's actually Alucard, but keep it down! Graham Jones - Claims to be a missionary, but Yoko will tell you he's a "bad guy" later. J - He senses dark power in you. You'll meet him in the Dance Hall. He can't tell his real name, because he has amnesia. He had an accident in 1999. Yoko Belnades - A member of the church. "You've met Aluca.. um, I mean, Genya... Arikado, right?". Hammer - This guy's a soldier. He's ordered by the army to come to the castle. He's the owner of a shop in the castle. __________ / ) / _______/ | | |_________|_Part_2:_Walkthrough______________________________________________ _/\/\_ \_oO_/ .-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-oOOo(______)oOOo-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=. | 05. Walkthrough | .=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=. Watch the little conversation and move to the right. Be sure to hit any candles and other objects you see on your way, because I won't tell you to hit them. Notice you absorbed your first soul and you can use it by holding attack and up. Some words before we'll start: * If I missed something, please let me know... * Always hit candles, lights etc. to gain money and hidden items * Kill the monsters on your way; you'll need to level up ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Castle Corridor ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Right. In the next room just keep on moving to the right, killing the zombies that buMP into you. Watch your steps already, because no matter how stupid they look (with their chopped heads), they still do 7 HP damage to you. In the next room, move down the stairs and kill the bats. Grab the short swordands go down a bit futher. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Underground Reservoir ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to the left, follow the hall and in the next room you'll find a pendant. You can go to the right if you want some Tasty Meat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Castle Corridor ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go back to the stairs and go to the right. Kill the Mermans here and grab the ability on the platform. You can now use L to backdash. Move your way up again (on the right side this time though), but don't enter the new room yet. Go a bit more up again and grab the cape that's waiting for you. Then enter the new room. Go to the right, until you meet the first boss. This guy is pretty easy and weak. He has two different attack. When his back begins to glow, he'll shoot a fireball (always at the same position). When he moved his arm back, he'll swing with a bone (aka move back). Just keep hitting him till he dies. I suggest to use spears (up and attack) when he swings his bone. Continue to the right and grab Castle Map #1. If you want to save go to the room on the right. When you're done, return to the point where you got the map and go down. Kill the bats on your way, and the Peeping Eye. Go to the right. In the next room you'll find a new ability. The ability to jump higher and fall down slower. Go back to where you found the Castle Map #1. Now work your way up. At the top, you'll need to use your new ability to get to the other side. Defeat the white dragon and grab the Potion (bet you would have done it anyway). Into the next room you'll be able to get a Potion and a Leather Plate using the new ability. Also hack away all the candles to find a Big Heart. Take the stairs on the right to continue to the next room. The next room isn't a problem. Use the new ability to get the Potion, but forget about the armor and the stairway for now. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to get there. So work your way up, work your way down again and then go right once again. Get the Scarf here and go back to where you first saw the Zombie Soldiers. Instead of taking the upperright door, take the lowerright door. Keep going to the right until you are outside again. If you want to save, go right. If not, drop down. Go left, and work your way down. Take the right door for a potion. Go to the left to find $500,-. When you're done, go back to the point where you dropped down again. Go right and you'll meet Graham Jones. He'll tell you some things you'll prolly like to know. Continue to move right. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapel ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The fun part is about to start. Keep going right until you enter a big room. Work your way to the lower right and climb the tower. In the next room you'll be able to get the Rapier using the Float Ability. Now get back to the tower and drop yourself down. There is a saveroom to the left, and I suggest to save now, because a nice boss if coming your way. So if you're ready, drop down all the way and go to the left until the boss music starts to play. If possible, stand on a platform and throw spears at him. If you run out of MP though, just attack him with Melee Weapons. If he moves a bit back, he'll swing his tail at you, but this won't happen much. The boss prefers to shoot fireballs at you. When he's going to shoot, make small jumps each time, or you'll land into a fireball and does around 60 Hp damage. When you're done playing, jump on the platforms and go to the room on the right to find a Silk Robe. When you go back, watch out for the new monsters. Drop down and continue your way until you get to the... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Study ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A new area... Go to the right, and follow the path. Drop yourself down and go left to find yourself in some sort of library. Kill the witches and the ghost here to find a Bastard Sword on the left side of the room. Go back to the beginning of the Study again (you got a better weapon, that's the reason why we went there). Drop down until you reach the kitches or whatever it is. On the left is a Uncurse Potion. Work your way to the right. You'll come in a room with a box, but you can't use it right now (well you can move it, go ahead). Drop down, and follow the path to the left. After a short walk, you'll end up in a new room. Kill all the enemies and drop down into the hole. To the left is a savegame room. To the right is a new character to meet. Notice how she reveals that Genya Arikado is actually Alucard. Continue to move right until you come to a point where you have to choice again. If you go right, you'll find a coin (I smell a secret here, but can't find anything). So go back and drop down. Take the right side, and you'll come in a room with a strange head. If you turn your back to it, it'll open. So simple stand next to it, turn your back to the head, and use backdash to get in. In this room you'll be able to find a Whip Sword. Go back to the dropdown room and go left this time. Prepare yourself for a boss-fight. Really easy boss. Equip your Whip Sword and just hit him. When he moves his arm back just back off and attack again. When the boss is finished, go left and talk to Hammer, who tells you he opened a shop. Also grab the new ability that allows you to jump again in mid-jump. Remember the room with the box (you better do)? Go back there and push the box to the left, so it drops. Then push it to the right and you'll be able to get the Broadsword. Leave the room, and enter it again. This time, push the box to the right and enter the room above you. Here you'll find the Heart Pendant. Now go back again and take the upperleft entrance. Go back to the beginning of the Study. Now go right, drop down, work your way up again and take the upperright door. You'll find a hammer here (in case you didn't get it yet from a Rock Armor. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapel ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now go back to the room where you saw the Zombie Officer. If you use the double jump ability and the float ablity, you can reach the upperleft entrace. If you didn't get the Winged Skeleton soul in the beginning, you would certainly be able to get it here :p Just work your way up and follow the path. In the big room, if you go to the lowerleft entrance, you'll find one bottle of Anti-Venom. If you take the upperleft entrance, you'll find a warp gate. Try it now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Castle Corridor ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok see how it works? Let's do some stuff here, and then go back. Go to the right until you're outside. There are two towers here. Each tower had a Killer Doll (and a light holding $50,-). In the right tower, when you drop down is a Cestus. Don't miss it. Go back to the room right of the warp gate and drop down. Go left and you'll be at the gate again. Talk to everyone. Don't buy something from the shop yet, we'll do that later. If you use your double jump ability, you can climb the right side of the room and you'll find a Lucky Charm. When you're done, go back to the warp gate, because we have some unfinished business to take care of. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapel ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go all the way back to the room with the many many ghosts (I obtained my Ghost Soul here, and the change you did as well is pretty big). Take the stairs to enter a big room. Work all your way to the top (you can walk on the small bells) to get a Mind Up, High Mind Up, High Potion and the Bamboo Sword (from where you get the High Potion/High Mind Up, drop yourself down where possible and go left from there to find the Bamboo Sword). Remember the room with the platform you couldn't reach, even with the float ability? Guess what... you can now ;p Go to the room and enter the next room for a Copper Plate. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Castle Corridor ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to the room where you first saw an Armor Axe. You can now work your way up and find a Lance. If you want to sell or buy items, visit Hammer at the gate. If you're ready, work your way to the top of the room and enter the new area. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dance Hall ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hooray, another new area. You should have 27.8% of the map explored right now. Walk to the left to meet J. Continue your way to the left. __________ / ) / _______/ | | |_________|_Part_3:_Appendix_________________________________________________ _/\/\_ \_oO_/ .-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-oOOo(______)oOOo-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=. | 06.

Bugs | .=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=. Come where you're not suppose to be - This isn't really a bug I think, but at least it works. Somewhere in the Chapel is a room which you can't climb unless you can jump pretty high (not double-jump). If you stand near the entrace on either side, just a few steps on the stairs, and you use your float ablity and jump right, then do a second jump to the left, you'll be able to reach the platform that's actually not ment to be reached. You can't do a single thing though, because you'll need to jump even higher for the next platform.
