Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow Hints XI (DS)

Taking place a year after Aria of Sorrow, the game's protagonist - Soma Cruz - finds himself at the center of a mysterious cult's plan to resurrect their 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 that is teaming with 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 enemies, players will use original gameplay concepts that leverage 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 touch screen technology will also be used to destroy "Crystal Blocks".

This ability will allow players to access unreachable areas as well as eliminate obstacles. 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

Three 7's clothing

In the Garden Of Madness is one of the gold slot machine doors. Have the last three digits of your gold to be 777. The door will open, revealing the three 7's clothing. This will boost your Luck, Intelligence and Constitution by 7. 


In the Garden of Madness, open the slot machine door with any amount of coins ending in 777. Alternately, equip the Rare Ring and start killing Killer Clowns. Eventually, they will drop the Three 7s armor, which can be sold for 3885 gold each. 

Free potions

In one section of Subterranean Hell, you will notice a see-saw with a boulder sitting on it. In the background are bells hanging on the walls. Hit the flat part of the see-saw with a hammer type weapon. The rewards for ringing the bells are as follows:
First (lowest): Potion 
Second (middle): High Potion 
Third (highest): Super Potion 
Soul Synthesis warning

If you want the best weapons in the game, be ready to give up some of your Boss souls. For example, if you want the Claimh Solais then you must give up the Gergoth soul.
