Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow Hints XII (DS)

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 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 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. 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

Easy money

Go to the Lost Village. Kill some Axe Armors until you get an axe. Then, go to Yoko's house and upgrade the axe into the Battle Axe. Then, upgrade the Battle Axe into a Bhuj. Then, go to Hammer's shop and sell it for 10,000 gold. If this is your first time in this level, then you should save the money. After you have played a few more levels, you can buy good weapons such as the katana, handgun, etc.

Easy experience

Equip yourself in the A set with Dracula's Tunic or Demon Mail, Gungner the Last Spear (recommended due to its reach and does not lose important souls) or Valhmanway Sword, and the Shaman Ring. In the Soul part, equip the Imp soul in Bullet, the Black Panther in Guardian, and the Mothman in Enchant. In set B, have all the same except for the Chaos ring, the Succubus bullet soul. Go to the large falling trail near Lost Village (in front of Yoko's shop, there is an entrance where you blow up the ceiling in the fountain). Then, go to the end. Go right there and you will see an Iron Golem. With set A, use the Imp Soul and the weapon you selected to kill him faster. When you run low on magic, change to set B with X and replenish fast with the Chaos Ring. If you run low in health, use the Succubus Soul to get life from the ghosts on the right and replenish. Go from right to left (from the ghosts' side) with the Phanter soul to go faster. Kill the Iron Golem to get 3,500 experience points each time.

Pass the spiked room

In order to pass the spiked room that is in Subterranean Hell, you can use one of these methods. The first is to equip these souls: Puppet Master, Bat Company and Skeleton Ape. Fly up until you get to a space on the floor with Bat Company. Then, use Puppet Master so you can transfer to the next space. Fly again with Bat Company to the other side. The second method is to equip on your R souls, Bone Ark. Then, just use it from the start of the spiked room and wait for it to carry you to the next end.
