Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow Hints X (DS)

A year after Aria of Sorrow, the protagonist of the game – Soma Cruz – finds himself at the center of a mysterious cult's plan to resurrect its evil lord and master, Dracula. To save himself and protect the lives of those he loves, Soma must infiltrate the enemy's home base, a towering replica of Dracula's castle, full of monstrous creatures. Players' abilities develop as they collect items and gather experience points by defeating a multitude of gruesome enemies.

In their quest to defeat the enemies, players will utilize original gameplay concepts that leverage on the Nintendo DS' touch screen technology. One example is Dawn of Sorrow's "Magic Seal" system. By using the stylus directly on the screen, players must connect a series of symbols in the proper order to unlock an enchanted opening and disperse their enemy's magic into it when they are weakened. The touchscreen technology will also be used to destroy "Crystal Blocks."

This ability will allow players to access unreachable areas as well as eliminate obstacles. The Nintendo DS' dual screens also allow game information to be readily displayed. During gameplay, the top screen of the Nintendo DS will display an environment map, as well as information on player status, enemy vulnerability, and acquired power-ups.

HINTS

Iron Golem Soul

In your sets, equip in A: unarmed, your favorite armor, and Soul Eater Ring. In the Souls, equip Imp[B], Black Panther[G], and for enchant, you can use anything. In set B: use any weapon, your favorite armor, and Chaos Ring. In Souls, equip Succubus[B], and any other guardian and enchant, though Treant[E] is recommended. Then, go to the place in Wizardry lab where you break the ceiling. Find the fountain in the lost village, then fall all the way down, and turn right to find the Iron Golem. Activate Imp[B], and punch the thing very fast and it should die. If you get low on HP or MP, use the Black Panther[G] soul to dash to the room on the right, then switch to set B. The Chaos Ring will replenish your MP and you can use the Succubus[B] soul to get HP from the ghosts. When the process is done, switch back to set A and continue fighting the golem.

Konami man

In the Clocktower in one of the rooms with a lot of spikes, there is a small area with no spikes that is very difficult to reach. Use the Bat Company Soul and land on the spot, then crouch. The Konami man will fly by, which you can catch and sell to Hammer.

Shaman Ring

In the Condemned tower, there is a room with a gold slot machine door. Make the last three digits of your gold to be 573, and the door will open, revealing the Shaman Ring. This allows you to gain experience faster.
