=============================================================================== Introduction [be01]===============================================================================

Castlevania is back! Now on Nintendo DS!

...I could have said something like that if I wrote this in the middle of year2005. But, since it's 2007 now, and another Castlevania game has been releasedfor Nintendo DS as well, I'll have to think of something else. I thinkexplaining that I'm trying to put together a comprehensive walkthrough for Dawnof Sorrow should do it pretty well. I've written a walkthrough for Portrait ofRuin, the second Nintendo DS Castlevania game, earlier, and since I liked doingthat a lot, I now feel like covering Dawn of Sorrow as well. Throughout themain walkthrough, I'll guide you from the beginning of the game, to the veryend. I'll also list the hidden rooms, optional items and so on, as well. Ifyou've been reading my Portrait of Ruin walkthrough, you'll notice that I'vesplit the main walkthrough up in more sections. There's two reasons for this.

The first reason is that Dawn of Sorrow takes place in one big castle, whilePortrait of Ruin had several portraits you could enter, all of which wheretotally different from each other. The second reason is that this way, it'seasier to avoid writing walls of text, confusing the reader. While I do thinkthe result wasn't very confusing in the Portrait of Ruin walkthrough, I believethis one will turn out to be even better! But of course, you're the judge :)

There's lots of stuff in this game that you don't really have to get if youdon't want to, and to make it easier to read the walkthrough for bothcompletists and people who just want to play the game through effectively, I'velisted most of the optional things inside their own squares, right of theparagraphs of the main walkthrough. This way, you can just skip reading what'swritten inside those squares, if you don't really care about optional stuff.

Other than that, I don't have a lot to say before I let you read on to theother sections of this document. I hope you enjoy the walkthrough, and the gameitself, since both are of good quality - I hope. Well, lets start then.

4/82

---------------------Soma's best friend, and the sole daughter of Hakuba Shrine's priest. One yearearlier, she was trapped within Dracula's castle along with Soma. Although shedoesn't have any special abilities, she is most trusted by Soma.

Hammer (Age: 35)----------------A military veteran, that has now retired because of the events of last year.Hammer is now a merchant, and while he looks pretty rough, he is actuallycompletely aimless and irresponsible. He also acts as an information brokerthrough his shady business connections. Hammer has a crush on Yoko.

Yoko Belnades (Age: 25)-----------------------A witch belonging to the church. She is a specialist when it comes todisposing of monsters and creatures that are threatening humans. She is adescendant of a clan that helped defeat Dracula in the year of 1476. WhileYoko is pretty nosy, she's like a big sister to Mina Hakuba. In the game,she sets up a shop where she fuses souls into weapons for Soma, resulting innew and more powerful weapons.

Julius Belmont (Age: 56)------------------------A descendant of a clan of vampire hunters, Julius wields the legendary whip

named 'Vampire Hunter'. Julius lost his mind when he defeated Dracula in 1999,and only regained it last year. Although he is starting to show age, he nowassists the church in their undertakings, working together with Yoko Belnades.

Genya Arikado (Age: Unknown)----------------------------Mister Arikado is a member of a top-secret Japanese government agency. He is avery mysterious person, and his real identity is only known to a handful ofpeople. Strikingly beautiful, but cold and detached. Approaching him isn'talways very easy -- not even for Soma.

Celia Fortner (Age: 26)-----------------------

A dark priestess that has formed a cult bent of resurrecting the lord ofdarkness, and killing Soma off in the process. She's able to use very powerfulmagic spells, but has lost some power after Dracula disappeared. Scared oflosing even more strength, she's desperate to resurrect the dark lord.

Dmitrii Blinov (Age: 37)------------------------A potential successor to Dracula's reign, with the power to duplicate magicattacks. Although he displays an outer impression of rashness andirresponsibility, he is fully prepared to take any measures to accomplish hisgoal. Dmitrii isn't very good friends with the other potential successor.

Dario Bossi (Age: 37)

---------------------The second potential successor to Dracula's reign. He has the power tomanipulate fire. He's possessed this power ever since he absorbed some ofDracula's powers a year ago. His fiery attitude and impulsive tendencies pushhim to immediate action.

5/82

| NOTE: This section, along with The Soul System section below, explains how || things and stuff in Dawn of Sorrow work. Please have a read here if you're || not already familiar with the game from before. You won't regret it! |o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

- LEVELS AND STATS: Dawn of Sorrow is not a roleplaying game, but the main characters have stats and levels anyway. Press SELECT during gameplay to get an overview that displays your character stats. When you have earned enough experience points by killing enemies, your level will get higher. Higher level means stronger characters. Also, let me explain about each stats meaning -- There are several abbreviations on the stats screen, and all of them have their own meanings:

LV - Current Level HP - Health Points MP - Mental Points EXP - Experience Points Next - Amount of EXP needed to level up Gold - Current amount of money ATK - Attack Power STR - Strength DEF - Defense CON - Constitution INT - Intelligence (Soul Attack Strength)

MND - Mental Strength (Magical Defense) LCK - Luck (Affects Item & Soul Droprate)

- POISON & CURSE: These are the two status effects that will weaken you when you get hit by certain enemy attacks. If you get poisoned, your character loses his attack bonus, and gets real weak. If you get cursed, you lose all of your MP. You can cure yourself by using certain items, but both effects will wear off by themselves after some time has passed.

- GETTING MP & GOLD: Throughout the game, you will find lots of breakable background objects, like lamps, decorations, torches and bottles. If you break these objects, you will often get either gold or hearts that restore MP. If your MP meter is not filled, you will find MP hears, and if it is

filled, you will find gold instead. Your MP meter will always slowly refill by itself, but finding hearts is a much faster way to fill it. The gold in Dawn of Sorrow is represented by colored coins. Each type of coin has its own value. Blue coins are worth 1 gold, bronze coins are worth 10 gold, silver coins are worth 50 gold and golden coins are worth 100 gold.

- EQUIPMENT: One of the most important parts of the game is to find equipment. Weapons and armor pieces can be found, sometimes by killing enemies, other times by finding secret rooms. If you want to equip armor pieces or weapons, go to the main menu by pressing START and choose the 'Equip' option. On the equipment screen you can also view each weapon or armor piece's stats. Remember that finding equipment is only part of the job, as you also need to manually put it on your characters.

- ENEMY DROPS: All kinds of enemies have certain items that they will sometimes drop upon dying. These items are called enemy drops, or random drops. By wearing equipment that give more LCK, the droprate will rise, and you will be more likely to get enemy drops. Your LCK also effects soul droprate, not just weapon/item/armor droprate.

- STOCK UP: Dawn of Sorrow is a game where enemies will attack you all the time, everywhere. Because of this, you might find yourself low on health before you even realize that you're taking heavy damage. In situations


6/82

like that, it's great to have a potion or two in your inventory, since they refill health. Never travel far if you don't have any healing items with you.

- WARPING FROM PLACE TO PLACE: In order to travel faster, you can teleport between special rooms that have warp points in them. These warp points are activated once you walk close to them and press UP. Afterwards you can use the directional pad to choose where you want to teleport.

- SAVING & HEALING: Just like there are special rooms with warp points in, there are also rooms with save points. Save points are easily recognized by the strong, blue orbs floating in the air above them. Press UP while standing close to a save point in order to save your progress and refill your HP/MP for free. Without saving, you won't last long.

- HIDDEN ROOMS: There are lots of hidden rooms for you to find. In all levels, there are rooms or passages that can be uncovered by breaking certain parts of the floor, walls or even the ceiling. Slide, use spells or do melee attacks often, if you want to find these hidden, item-containing places. If you follow the main walkthrough, I'll tell you where they're all located.

=============================================================================== The Soul System [be05]===============================================================================

- BASICS: Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is all about souls. The main character, Soma Cruz, is able to steal the souls of monsters that he kill, and use them as his own, exploiting their power. Boss monsters always drop their souls when killed off, while other monsters & enemies don't usually drop theirs. To get the souls of normal monsters, you'll often have to kill them several times, or grinding, as it's called by many. Each monster's soul has a rarity rating consisting of one, two or three stars. One star means that the soul is likely to drop when you kill the monster, and three stars means that it's unlikely to drop, so you'll have to grind a lot to get those! Note that all soul types, except for ability & enchant type souls consume MP when used.

- EQUIPPING SOULS: You will have to equip souls to be able to use them. You can do this by accessing the main pause menu by pressing Start, then accessing

the 'Equip' option. Now you'll be taken to the soul equip screen. You can have one Bullet, Guardian & Enchant type soul equipped at the same time. As for Ability type souls, you can have them all equipped at once, no worries.

- SOUL TYPES: There are several kinds of souls in Dawn of Sorrow. Some monsters carry souls of one type, while other kinds carry souls of another type. They all give you different powers. Sometimes, they let you attack in a special way, and sometimes they let you access previously unreachable areas, by for example letting you jump higher, or travel underwater. When you kill an enemy and it drops a soul, you'll see that the soul is colored. There are four kinds of colors - one color for each soul type:

o------------------------ Soul Types Explained -------------------------o

| | | - RED Souls, Bullet Type: These souls are very common. They let | | you throw, shoot or spit to attack the enemy. They're mostly | | long-range weapons that are very useful for damaging the enemy | | without having to go up close to it. Use them by pressing UP + Y | | on your Nintendo DS. | | | | - BLUE Souls, Guardian Type: Guardian type souls are pretty common | | as well, and let you either defend yourself, or help you to | | reach areas that weren't reachable before you found the soul. |


7/82

| The Flying Armor soul is a good example, since it lets you float | | through the air after jumping. Press the R button on your | | Nintendo DS to use Guardian type souls. | | | | - YELLOW Souls, Enchant Type: These souls won't let you attack in | | any new way. They don't give you any new abilities either. What | | they're good for however, is boosting your stats. For example, | | by equipping the Golem souls, your strength will get boosted, | | rendering you able to deal more damage when attacking your enemies | | with a normal weapon. Take note that only the effect of the | | Enchant soul you've got equipped will count. Having a soul in | | your pocket without equipping it won't boost your stats in any way. | | Enchant type souls do not consume MP when used. | | | | - SILVER WHITE Souls, Ability Type: These souls are usually dropped | | when you kill bosses. They give you new abilities, like double | | jumping, or breaking ice blocks. They don't consume MP when used, | | and all of them can be equipped at the same time. Without ability | | type souls, you won't make it far in Dawn of Sorrow. | | | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o

- INCREASING SOUL DROPRATE: A very common question people ask, is how they can increase the soul droprate when killing enemies. There is a very simple

answer to this question -- you need to equip souls or equipment that boost your Luck stat. There's several kinds of souls & equipment that boost your luck stat, but some of the best are the [Three 7s] armor and the soul named [Ghost Dancer]. Make sure to have equipment that boosts your luck equipped if you're killing monsters, grinding for souls.

- SOUL STATS: When browsing through the souls in your inventory you will, just like when looking at your weapons, notice that there are several stats and abbreviations for each soul. Here's a list of their meanings:

o--------------------- Soul Stats & Abbreviations ----------------------o | | | - Lv. x/x: This is the power level of the soul. Collect more souls |

| of the same type to make it more powerful. | | | | - xx/Use: The numbers that replace the 'xx' display how much MP | | it costs to use the soul once. Applies to bullet type souls, | | as well as enchant type souls. | | | | - x/Time: Applies to guardian type souls. The number replacing the | | 'x' displays how much MP the soul will drain for each second it's | | being used. | | | | - Stars: This displays the soul's rarity. One star means the soul | | is not rare, while three stars means it's very rare and uncommon. | | |

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o

=============================================================================== Frequently Asked Questions [be06]===============================================================================

Q: Is the storyline in this game directly connected to any other game?A: Yes, this is a direct sequel to Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow on GBA.

Q: How do i make the golden statues with numbers on to go away?


8/82

A: Collect gold until the three last digits of your total gold value matches the numbers on the golden statues.

Q: Does Dawn of Sorrow support Nintendo Wi-Fi?A: No, you can't play or trade items on Nintendo Wi-Fi in Dawn of Sorrow.

Q: I always die! I need more HP, but how?A: Buy potions from Hammer's shop to refill HP. If you want to raise your Maximum HP amount, you can do that by killing enemies until you level up, And by equipping certain accessories and souls.

Q: I know of a soul or tactic that's much better to use than the ones you say you're using in the walkthrough.A: What souls you have, depends on how much time you're willing to spend on grinding enemies, or how lucky you are when you kill them. There are many tactics you can use during certain parts of the game, for example during boss battles, and the ones I've listed are simply the ones that worked nicely out for me when playing through the game my third & fourth time.

Q: What does the 'soul release' option in Yoko's shop do?A: It simply lets you throw your souls away, and nothing more than that.

Q: What's the best soul in the game?A: That depends on you. As for souls that are used to attack with, I really

like the Killer Clown and Mandragora souls but people have different opinions about souls, just like with weapons and other equipment.

Q: Help! The monsters I kill don't drop their souls!A: In most cases, a monster won't drop a soul when killed. Because of this, you will need to kill certain kinds of monster lots of time before you get their soul. Wearing equipment that raises luck is also smart, as the soul droprate will be raised along with your luck.

Q: Help! I am really bad at floating through the air using Flying Armor.A: The trick is to use it before you start falling, not after.

Q: What's up with the UMA News items? They're talking about some monsters.

A: There are three different secret monsters, or secret souls, that the UMA News describes in a vague manner. Use CTRL + F and search for 'Secret Soul' to find out where to find the three monsters.

=============================================================================== Soma in the City [wa01]===============================================================================

o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o| || I T E M C H E C K L I S T || || Knife..........................[ ] Armor Knight...................[ ] |

| Skeleton.......................[ ] || |o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Soma and Mina are walking around in the city when a woman named Celia suddenlyappears. Celia doesn't seem very friendly, and even less so when she startssummoning monsters, trying to kill our hero and his good friend. Happily,another of Soma's friends, Mr. Arikado is here as well. He throws a [Knife]over to Soma so that he can defend himself against the monsters. The first oneis a skeleton, so attack it using the knife you got from Arikado. The skeleton


9/82

drops the [Skeleton] soul, which is a Bullet type soul that can be used byholding UP and pressing the Y button to throw a bone. Try it out on the nextenemy, which is an Armor Knight, but do take note that each time you use aBullet type soul, a small amount of MP will be drained from the green MP gaugein the upper left end of the screen. It's not too dumb though, as MP isautomatically refilled as you play, and can also be restored more quickly, bydrinking certain potions you'll get access to later in the game.

Anyway, the Armor Knight drops the [Armor Knight] soul, which is a Guardiantype soul that is used by holding down the R button on your Nintendo DS. LikeBullet type souls, Guardian type souls also consume some MP when used. Tryyour new soul out on the next monster; a huge, nasty Golem. The Golem alsodrops its soul. This one is an Enchant type soul that gives a small strengthboost when equipped. Enchant type souls do not consume MP, but do not provideyou with any new abilities. Instead, they boost various stats. Celia nowescapes, after her monsters have been killed off. Arikado explains that Celiais the priestess of a rapidly growing cult, that is seeking to resurrect thelord of darkness, Dracula, and finish Soma off in the process. Scary stuffindeed. Some days pass, and the next time you get to see out white-hairedhero, Soma, he is in a dark, cold and snowy village, far away from the city!

A man named Hammer shows up as well. Turns out that Hammer told Soma aboutwhere the mad cult's headquarters were located, and now, Soma is going there toinvestigate. Yeah right, just investigate. Hammer runs ahead of Soma, and says

that he'll be opening a shop somewhere in the village. Sounds quiteinteresting, but not that profitable. Now, you're in control of Soma again, sohead right, into the next area. Notice the wonderful music? If so, you'reat the right place, I'm sure. Now lets get this walkthrough started for real!

=============================================================================== The Lost Village [wa02]===============================================================================

| Short Sword....................[ ] Magic Seal 1...................[ ] || Potion.........................[ ] Flying Armor...................[ ] || Yeti...........................[ ] || |o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o

You've still got the knife that Arikado o---------- Secret Soul ----------ogave you back in the city, so that'll be | |your main weapon for now. And of course, | In the very first area of the |there's the three souls you got from the | game, there is a Yeti running |monster you killed as well. Kill off the | around in the background. Once |two skeletons and the bat that are | you have gotten the Skeleton |walking and flying around in this area, | Waiter Soul, return to the Yeti |

So, always break stuff in the background. Now, kill off the Skeletonand the Peeping Eye on the bridge in this area - don't worry about gettingtheir souls yet - and exit right.


10/82

Grab the [Short Sword] from the wooden platform in front of you, and thencontinue right after equipping it. Now, the next area is pretty flat, whenthinking landscape, but there are some monsters with great souls here: Wargs. Irecommend you run in and out of this area several times, killing the Wargs inhere until their soul drops, since I like the Warg soul a lot. It's a close-range Bullet type soul that deals quite a bit of damage when used. But, it's upto you, really, whether you want to grind for souls or not. So, kill off theWargs, as mentioned, and take care of the Axe Armor and Zombies as well, beforerunning further right again.

A woman named Yoko and a man named Julius (Wooh! Vampire hunter!) are talkingto each other in here, standing close to a huge castle. Julius hops into thecastle, over the locked gate, by pulling off a totally crazy jump, and Yoko isleft behind. She asks you if you would mind escorting her to safety. Be alady's friend, and agree. Not that it's possible to refuse, though. With Yokofollowing you, go back left to the platform where you found the Short Sword,and drop down from the platform. At the bottom, take the [Potion] that's lyingon the ground, and go right to find a save room. All save rooms look like thisone; lots of blue orbs floating in the air above a statue. Go close to thestatue and press UP on your directional pad to save your game. All of your HP &MP will also be restored when saving. And it's free too! Go outside again. Leftof where you went into the save room there is a red boss door.

Yoko gives you the [Magic Seal 1] so that you can unseal the door (all bossdoors are sealed, and you need the correct seal to open them) and kill the bossinside. This seal looks just like the letter 'V'. Once you've killed off aboss, you need to draw the seal that you used to open the boss door. In thiscase, it's very easy to draw the seal, since it's just a 'V'. If you fail atdrawing the seal quickly, or draw it wrong, the boss gets some HP back, andyou'll have to attack it again, until you can draw the seal again. So, headinside the boss door now, and prepare for the first boss battle.

| My Level: 4 || Recommended Souls: Warg, Skeleton || || - General Information: Flying Armor is pretty easy to defeat.

Once you've finished Flying Armor off, you will get the [Flying Armor] soul,which is a Guardian soul that lets you reduce falling speed. It's useful forfloating through the air, and landing on ledges you couldn't reach earlier.There is also an orange orb dropped by each boss in the game. Grabbing it willresult in you restoring all of your HP & MP, so make sure to take it. Yoko saysshe'll be fine now, so just leave her, and head left from the boss room.

=============================================================================== After Getting The Flying Armor Soul [wa03]===============================================================================

o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Now that you're in the room left of where you killed the Flying Armor boss, youwill see a ledge with a weapon ontop of it. Jump into the air, and when you'reas far above the ground as possible with a normal jump, activate the FlyingArmor soul and float left onto the ledge to get the [Claymore], which is a slowbut powerful sword. Continue left into the next area, which is outside, withlots of platforms, and a single car at the very bottom, below the platforms.

First, grab the [Spear] from the platform in the upper left corner. There is apath leading left here in the upper left corner, but it's blocked right now, sojust ignore it for now, and drop down to the middle left end of the area. Killthe Armor Knight that's patrolling here, and head inside the door he was

guarding to find an Ouija Table enemy and a [Mace]. Nice! Drop down left of themace to find [$1000], guarded by a slow Zombie. After grabbing the money andslaying the Zombie, go left to find another save room. Run outside to the areawith the car and the platforms again, after saving your progress.

This time, drop down to the bottom, where the car is, and go into the door leftof the car to find Yoko, inside a room she found. She's set up a service whichworks like this: You give Yoko your souls, and she fuses them with one of yourweapons. After doing so, the weapon gets replaced with a new, often betterweapon. The downside is that your old weapon, along with the soul you fused itwith, both vanish for good. So, never fuse weapons or souls you don't want tolose. Remember that there is no way for Yoko to bring back the things you'vealready given her. This process is, for your information, called 'Weapon

Synthesis'. I won't be telling you to go and fuse your souls with weapons inthe main walkthrough, just to make that clear. Go outside again, and this timehead right from the car to find Hammer's shop. This one is pretty cool!

I recommend buying the following stuff from Hammer's shop now: [Castle Map 1] &[UMA News 1-1]. A weapon wouldn't be dumb either. The Rapier is pretty good, ifyou like quick swords. Also note that you don't really have to buy the map orthe newsletter, but they're nice to have. Buying maps makes it easier tonavigate through the game by looking at the upper screen on your Nintendo DS,and the newsletter gives you hints about a secret monster. This monster is

Once you're done shopping, go outside o---------- Secret Item ----------oagain and head inside the door in the | |middle right end. Kill the Ouija Table | In the corridor with the five |in here, drop down, kill a Zombie and | Zombies, slide on the floor in |grab [$1000], then exit in the lower | the right end of the corridor, |right end, to find an area with a | just outside of the door |Spinning Devil enemy, and two cars at | leading into the room with the |the bottom.

Run back left, out to the area with the two cars and the Spinning Devil. In themiddle right end there is a [Potion] waiting for you. Jump to the upper leftend, jump over the gap up here using the Flying Armor soul, and look at theposter of Celia at the other side. Laugh at her if you want to, then go rightinto the door close to the poster. There are some Student Witches and Zombiesin this room, but nothing of real importance.

Run through the room, and exit in the upper right end. Run past all the candlesin the stone corridor, until you see a gate, with water on the other side.Attack the switch to open the gate and drain the water. At the other side ofthe gate, you'll notice that this is just below the castle entrance, whereJulius made that big jump before. Open the red-gloving level door below thecastle entrance to find the next level. This one is named 'The Wizardry Lab',and has nice music playing in the background. Really good music, in fact.

There are some Ghosts spawning in the air above you, and there's a passageleading further right. Ignore this passage for now, since you don't have thesoul required to break the ice blocks in there, or the soul that lets you jumphigh enough to pass the blockades in there. So, drop downwards instead, andgrab the [Mind Up] potion close to the passage leading left. Now head into that

passage to find a save room. Save your progress, and run back outside of thesave room. Now, head into the passage directly right of the save room. Kill offsome Slimes and a Bomber Armor, then grab the [Blunt Sword] from the upperright corner of the room.

Drop down to the very bottom of the room to find a chest full of coins. Bewarethough, as it's guarded by a Student Witch, Bomber Armor and an Axe Armor.After taking the coins, go back, and drop further downwards from the save roomentrance, all the way to the bottom. Once there, head left, into a new roomfilled with Skeletons and a Skeleton Archer.


13/82

Kill all of the Skeletons, drop down, then make your way over to the passage inthe upper left end of the room, after killing some Armors and a Student Witch.You'll end up in another room where ghosts spawn in the air. Drop down to thevery bottom and head left to find a nice [Scarf] that you should equip. Go backto the room with the spawning ghosts, and this time, head into the passagethat's leading right, just above the passage you walked into to get the Scarf.

You will end up in a square-formed room with a Manticore, a Slime and a coupleof Slaughterers. Kill them all off, and explore the whole room, just for mapcompletion's sake. Do not head through the passage in the upper right end.Instead, drop down from the platform that can be found in the lower right endof the room, close to the Manticore enemy. Slay the Golem enemy down here, byattacking from the platform above it, then exit right. In the room right ofwhere you killed the Golem, drop down to the bottom, and head right.

Celia is waiting for Soma in here, and she's brought two underlings with her.They're both men, and their named are Dario & Dmitrii. Both of them arecandidates for becoming the new Dark Lord, but they're not friends at all. Allof them leave now. Go to the right end of the room, into the door there, andthen drop down to find a save room and a boss door. Save your game, and headinside the boss door.

Once Balore has been killed off, you will get the [Balore] soul, which lets youbreak ice blocks by simply touching them.

Since Balore is dead, we can continue making progress. From the save room closeto Balore's boss room, backtrack upwards until you reach the entrance to theroom where you fought the first Golem in The Wizardry Lab (not the room whereyou met Celia and her mates, another Golem has spawned there now). Instead ofheading into that Golem room, jump upwards instead this time. Head into thepassage leading right, just above the entrance to the Golem room, and kill theSlaughterers, Creatures and Skeletons. You'll end up having to return whenreaching a locked gate guarded by a Creature, but at least we got come mapcompletion. It wasn't good for nothing, you see, that we went here. Now, do youremember the room where you dropped down from a platform, in order to reach theroom with the first Golem? Go there, and exit the room in the upper right end.

There's lots of Skeletons in here. Kill them off and jump upwards. Just aboveyou there are two passages. One leading left, and one right. Go into the leftone first, and examine the whole room. There's a good-for-nothing picture of a

face with moving eyes, and some Manticores. After exploring that room, headinto the passage leading right to find a warp room. Warp rooms are great, sinceyou can use them to transport to the other warp points you've found. It's free!Try it out -- there is one other warp point you can transport to right away.It's located in The Lost Village, just above Yoko & Hammer's stores, in theroom that was blocked earlier, in the upper left corner of the area with thesingle car at the bottom. So, warp there, and go see Hammer again.

Buy [Castle Map 2] from Hammer, since he has that item now, and also buy[UMA News 2-1] as well, if you want to. It's quite fun to read thosenewspapers, even though they're not very long or anything. I won't force you tobuy anything else, but the Ring Mail armor is pretty good, and Hammer sells it.If you feel like you can go and see Yoko as well, for some random chatter. Save

your game in the save room above Yoko's room, then warp back to the WizardryLab again, once you're ready for more action. Head outside the warp room onceyou're there, and jump to the top, then exit right into a square-formed roomfull off Slaughterers and a Student Witch. Exit this room in the upper rightend to find a room with a platform, and lots of ice blocks in the ceiling.

Jump onto the platform, make sure to crouch once on it. The platform startsmoving. Now, you will have to touch all the ice blocks in the ceiling, once themoving platform gets close to them. At the end of all the ice blocks, there isa blockade, but it can be avoided if you're still crouching. Now, hope downfrom the platform and exit in the right end of the room. There is a red leveldoor in front of you. Head inside to reach another level - Garden of Madness.

| Magic Seal 2...................[ ] Three 7s.......................[ ] || Breastplate....................[ ] || |o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o

This is a stairway guarded by Skelerangs and Une enemies. They're both easy tokill, if you're fast. Go upwards and head into the first passage leading leftto find a save room. Save, go outside again, then kill the Une enemies untiltheir soul drops. That's right, I kind of command you to grind for the [Une]soul, until you get it, since it's very useful in the upcoming boss battleagainst Dmitrii. So, outside of the save room again, jump to the top and goright to find a room filled with Mandragora enemies. I recommend getting theirsoul as well, and this one is great for killing several enemies at once. You'llthank me later, as the [Mandragora] soul is really good when you want to killseveral foes at once. So, grind until you have it. As you can see, right of theMandragoras there is a passage covered in water. You can't walk in water yet,so go back left to the previous room with the Skelerang and Une enemies, theexit in the upper left corner this time.

Slay the Treant enemy, and grab [Magic Seal 2] from the ground, before jumpingupwards on the platforms close to the seal. In the room above the platform,you'll be greeted by a Une on your right side and a passage on your left. Headinto the passage to find a warp point. Activate it, then go back to the Une yousaw. Jump to the top, above it, to find a new, huge room. There's several small

stone platforms above you, and on one of them, there is a [Breastplate]. Now,to get a little map completion again, head directly right, and go into the doorin the lower right end of the room with the Breastplate. You'll see a boss doorand a Mollusca enemy (attack its eyes to kill it), but you can't continue intothe boss room, since you need another magic seal for that. So, go back outsideto the area where you got the Breastplate, and this time, exit in the lowerleft end, where there is a level door.

------------------------------------------------+ Demon Guest House - Opening the Castle Gates +------------------------------------------------

We won't be going through anything close to the whole level yet, so the Demon

Guest House does not get its own section just yet. So, start running left,killing off the Skeletons and the Peeping Eye. Exit in the right end to find aroom with Axe Armors in. Kill them off, and exit in the left end, where thereis another level door leading back to The Lost Village, where the real castleentrance is. Head into that level door, then run left through a snowy area witha Warg, and exit left. You'll find a switch. Step on it to lower the castlebridge. Now, you can walk in and out from the castle as you wish. Nice, yes?

With the castle gates opened, head back to the Garden of Madness - the roomwith all the small stone platforms, where you got a Breastplate. Exit in theupper right end, above the passage that leads to a boss door. Jump to the topof the platforms in here, and exit left. Keep on walking left, kill the twoblue Rycuda enemies, and drop down below them. Fight the Catoblepas. Behind it

there is a chest with coins in, and a [Fleuret] sword. Go back right to theprevious room, and this time, head right to find another huge room, similar tothe one where you found the Breastplate.

Slaughter the Skeleton Ape that greets you by throwing a barrel on you, afterslashing the barrel to bits. Then, jump over the gap just right of the Ape tofind another platform. This is where you'll find the [Doppelganger] soul. Withthis soul in your inventory, you can equip two different sets of souls &equipment, and change between these two sets by pressing the X button on yourNintendo DS, during gameplay. Try it out - go to the Equipment screen from the


16/82

main menu, and press the X button to equip two different sets. Once you'refamiliar with the doppelganger, drop down to the bottom of the room, and slaythe enemies there for some experience points, and souls, if you're lucky. Theenemies here are: Catoblepas, Skeleton Farmer, Mandragora & Yorick. There is achest on a ledge in the lower right end, but you can't get up there yet. So,exit in the upper right end, but watch out for the Skeleton Ape there.

There's some irritating Mini Devil enemies flying around above you in the air.Hitting them is pretty hard, but can be done by launching a Warg against them.That trick works, pretty much always. In the lower right end of the room thereis a save point, so save your game there. There is a sword on a ledge in theupper left corner, but you need a soul before you can get up there. So, exit inthe upper right corner instead. Slay all the Ghouls and the Witch in thiscorridor, and exit in the right end of it. The next room has lots of GhostDancers and some Amalaric Snipers. I really recommend grinding for the[Ghost Dancer] soul, since it raises your luck, making it easier to get other

souls later on, when grinding for them. Once you have the Ghost Dancer soul,head into the entrance in the left end, just below where you entered the room.There is a warp point here, so warp back to The Lost Village and save. Then,warp back and go into the room with all the Ghost Dancers and Snipers again.

This time, make your way up to the upper part of the room. In the upper rightend, there is a [Potion], so use your Flying Armor to float over the gap andget it. Afterwards, exit in the upper left end. There is a huge Great Armorguarding this corridor. Use a bullet soul to slay it, then slay the one behindit as well, before exiting in the left end. The next room has a Valkyrie in it,


17/82

but nothing else. Jump upwards using the platforms left of the Valkyrie.

You'll find some Ghosts and a Witch in this room, and a moving platform aswell. There is some kind of item in the upper left end above the platform, butyou can't get it yet. So, exit in the upper right end. Now you're in astairway. At the top there are two passages and at the bottom, a red boss door.Go to the top left passage to find a save room to save in, then drop down,opening the boss door. Time to kill Dmitrii, that slacker!

Soma defeats Dmitrii, but does not slay him. Instead, Dmitrii dies, for someother reason. Wonder what that was all about! Weird! If you look closely,

you'll be able to see some kind of soul enter Soma's body. Soma doesn't feellike he gained any new power, so don't think about it for now. Head back to theprevious save room, and save your game. Afterwards, head back to the room whereyou won over Dmitrii (a Quetzalcoatl has spawned there) and exit in the leftend. You'll see a ring on a ledge in the upper right end of the next room.Ignore it for now, and head into the boss door in the upper left end.

Once Malphas has been slaughtered you will get the [Malphas] soul, which letsyou pull off some very useful double-jumps. There's a ton of new areas we canaccess now, with this ability in hand. Yahuuh! Ok, head outside of the bossroom, walking right, and double-jump, then use the Flying Armor to get the ringyou saw earlier, in the upper right end of the room before the Malphas battle.The ring is a [Hoop Earring], by the way, so make sure to take it with you.

Now you've collected enough items for a while. So, if you're not there already,read the paragraph above, in the 'secret items' box, and make your way over towhere the Elfin Robe is. From there, go directly right into a room with twoTreant enemies. In the right end there is a save room, so save there, then jumpupwards using the nearby platforms. At the top, there is a Rycuda enemyguarding a new boss door. Prepare for battle, and go inside.

After theconversation, head left into the next room, a huge place filled with Liliths,Skelerangs and Ghost Dancers. Drop down to the middle right end to find a save

room. Save your game there right away. Now, if you want some optional items,take a look at the extra box below, then, when you're done collecting thoseoptional items, exit in the middle left end of the room with the Liliths,Skelerangs and Ghost Dancers, since there's a passage there.

o------------------------------ Secret Items -------------------------------o| || Drop down to the bottom right end of the room with all the Liliths, || Skelerangs and Ghost Dancers to find a small room with a bag || containing [$1000] inside.

| || In the room with the Liliths again, jump to the very top, where there || are some platforms leading upwards to another very similar huge room, || filled with Valkyrie, Liliths and a Killer Clown.

After exiting the first room with the Liliths in the left end, you will reachanother dark corridor with two Liliths and some Bone Pillar enemies.

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o| The Demonic Mad Puzzle || ---------------------- || || Now that you're in the puzzle room you will see that there are several || blocks in the background.

Using the touch screen on your || Nintendo DS, you can move the blocks/rooms, rearranging them so that || you get to visit them all. You don't really have to do this if you || don't want some optional items; if you just exit the puzzle room in || the left end, you can continue to the next essential part of the game, || without getting the optional items. Note that you need to visit all of || the numbered rooms in order to get a complete map discovery rate in || Dawn of Sorrow. The optional items you can get in the rooms are: || |o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

| || * Cestus - Found in Room 1 (I mentioned this one earlier) || * [Turquoise Stud] - Found in Room 8 || * [Great Sword] - Found in Room 12 || * [Cutall] - Found in Room 5 || * [Justaucorps] - Found in Room 9 || * [Ring Mail] - Found in the upper right end, above the numbered rooms || |o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Now, head back to the room with the puzzle, hit the reset button, then walkthrough the numbered rooms up to the upper left end, where the exit is. There'sa couple of Killer Dolls in the stairway in the upper left end, so kill those

and jump to the top where there is a passage. Go in there to meet a KillerClown. I really recommend you keep on grinding to get the [Killer Clown] soul,since that is a very fast bullet type soul I'm sure you'll like. Now jump upand go left from the Killer Clown to find a room with a fun, but useless Piano.

Exit the piano room in the left end to find a place with LOTS of Bone Pillarenemies. Use your Mandragora soul to kill off a few of the Bone pillars at thebottom, then double-jump up on the head of the Bone Pillars above. Jump leftand land on the head of another row of Bone Pillars. There's a passage aboveyou up here, so jump up there to find a room with lots of ice blocks.

Touch the lower screen on your Nintendo DS to break some ice blocks, making apath of ice that you can walk on to the very top. On the top, there are two

items, the [UMA News 2-4] on the right side, and the [War Fatigues] on the leftside. Consider equipping the fatigues, after looking at the stats of it. Nowdrop back down into the room with all the Bone Pillars and head right into thepiano room again. Exit the piano room in the right end, then head furtherright, into a passage you haven't walked into before now.

Watch out for the Buer that comes rolling towards you in this room, then slaythe Lilith at the bottom. In the bottom right end there is a room with twoKiller Dolls and some kind of potion that's out of reach from where you'restanding now. So, in the room with the Bauer & Lilith again, exit in the upper

right end this time around. Drop down into the pit on the floor to get the[High Potion] you saw in the room with the Killer Dolls, then jump up again,all the way to the top. There's two passages here, but the one leading rightrequires you to have a Puppet Master soul, which you haven't got yet.

Go left then, since the game forces you to do so. Nyehehe. Seriously though,it's not a big deal, since the right passage just leads back to one of thosehuge rooms with Liliths & Ghost Dancers. So, after going through the leftpassage you will meet a Killer Clown. Slay him and go straight left for a warppoint. Use it to warp back to The Lost Village. Once there, go and buy [UMANews 3-1] from Hammer's shady store, if you're into trivial reading. Now warpback to the Demon Guest house, which is where you came from a moment ago.Above the Killer Clown you killed earlier there is a Devil and two passages.They both lead to the same room, but make sure to explore both rooms.

Anyway, once you've explored both rooms, and have arrived in the next one, atthe top of them, slay the monsters in here. There's Killer Clowns, aQuetzalcoatl and a rolling Buer, to mention a few. Then, enter the passage inthe upper left corner to finally find [Magic Seal 3], guarded by a Killer Doll.Go back to the previous room, and this time enter the passage in the upperright end to find [UMA News 2-2]. Back to the previous room, and exit byjumping upwards on the platforms close to where you entered the UMA News room.There's a save room and a boss door up here, so save, then open the boss door.

Throw a puppet doll o---------------------------------othrough the hole and change places withit using the Puppet Master soul you got in the previous boss battle.

You'll now arrive outside, with the moon shining in the background. Since theceiling is high above you, you will have to return here later once you have theBat Company soul, if you want to explore the whole area (that soul lets you flyto the top). You will however be able to reach the [Kotetsu] sword in the rightend, by double- jumping and throwing a puppet up on the ledge where it can befound. Do it, then drop down one floor to find [UMA News 3-2] in the right end.

Right of the Newspaper there is a gap. Double-jump. use Flying Armor and throwa puppet doll to the ledge in the right end to find a [High Potion]. Drop downto the very bottom now and step on the switch that's in the corridor down here.This opens a door that leads back to the warp point in The Dark Chapel. Goright from the switch to reach The Condemned Tower, which is a brand new level.Good work on getting here. It's been a long trip.

There is a green Draghignazzo flying just above you, so kill it in any wayyou want to. See that there is a passage above it? You can't reach it yet, so

head right instead. Continue right until you see another Draghignazzo and a[Mind Up] potion. Just right of here, you will meet Julius, who is standingclose to some kind of portal. Julius says he can't open the portal just yet. Goback left to where you found the Mind Up, and jump upwards using the nearbyplatform. At the top you will find a passage leading left, and a [Silver Stud].Now, we'll start climbing the tower for real, so you'd better keep up with me!

Head left into the passage, slay the Disc Armor, and exit left. There's aworthless statue at the bottom here. Jump upwards, kill the Disc Armor, andhead into the passage leading right at the top. Slay the lonesome Fleaman, exitright. Kill a Draghignazzo, jump to the top, exit left. There's two Fleamen inhere, so slay both of them, and exit left. The next area has a Skeleton Apethat you need to kill, then go to the top where a Great Axe Armor is residing.

I recommend throwing some Mandragoras at him before he manages to swing hisgiant axe weapon towards you. Above him, you will find the [Estoc]. Take it,then go right from the Great Axe Armor to find a passage.

Kill the Werewolf, jump to the top, then go left. Watch out for the Buer wheelthat is rolling in here, and exit left. Once again, jump upwards to find anelevation where another Buer is rolling. Break the Buer and continue upwards.There is a passage leading left. Go in there to find a blue, locked gate. Youneed a special key to open this one, so ignore it for now. Jump to the very topof the area with the Buer to find another Buer guarding [UMA News 2-3]. Go

right from the newspaper, slay the Great Axe Armor, go right again, slay twoFleamen, jump to the top, and go right to find a save room. Just left of thesave room, there is a boss door. Make your grand entrance, Mister Soma.

Now that [Gergoth] is dead *cries*, you will get its soul. It lets you fire ahuge laser beam when used, but isn't very useful in a lot of situations. Sinceyou fell down along with Gergoth during the boss battle, you will have to makeyour way all the way back up to where you first encountered Gergoth. Oncethere, jump left and use the Flying Armor Soul to get to the left end of theboss room, since the floor is now gone. The left side has a passage, so head inthere right away to find the [Tower Key]. Left of the key is a warp room. Thereisn't anything new in Hammer's shop or anything right now, so just go backright from the warp point and drop down to the passage leading left in the bossroom. This one is just below the passage that lead to the warp room, and you'vebeen there before; the blue gate that was locked earlier is in here. Now thatyou have the Tower Key you can open the blue gate, so do that and enter the redlevel door on the other side, which leads to the level 'Cursed Clock Tower'.

The passage leads o---------------------------------oleft, as if you don't already know. Inhere, there are spikes on the floor, but happily, there are some huge clockgears in the air above them. Jump on the gears, and exit left of allthe spikes.

Watch out for the yellow Medusa heads in here, as they will turn you into stoneif you come close to them. Enter the passage at the top, and ignore the one atthe bottom for now. Slay the Imp, a Harpy and a Catoblepas, exit in the leftend. Now you will be in another room with Medusa Heads, and at the bottom thereis a little water. Exit in the lower left end to find a small room with a nice,

warm & green [Army Jacket]. Take it, then return to the room left of where youjumped on some circle-formed clock gears to avoid the spikes on the floor. Dropto the bottom of that room and go left to find another area with water at thebottom. Exit left to find a level door leading back to Garden of Madness.

There is a gap here, and a passage just left of the gap. Go inside the passageand step on the switch on the floor to open a gate. Now you can easily travelbetween Garden of Madness and Cursed Clock Tower, through the newly openedgate. Go back right from the gate room and drop down into the gap, and dropdown again to find a [Handgun] above a ceiling you've seen earlier, but haven'tbeen able to reach. Look at your map, and examine any nearby place that isstill black, then return all the way back to the room with the '573' statue inthe Cursed Clock Tower. What are you waiting for? Go there now! This time, exit

in the upper left end, above the statue.

In front of you there are some spikes in the ceiling and some moving blocksbelow the spikes. As you can see, all the blocks except the third one in thisrow has blood on them. Run onto the third block, crouch and wait until theblocks start moving downwards again, then run left to the next row of blocks.Step onto the first non-bloody block, run left and slide onto the final, non-bloody block, then exit the room in the left end. Drop down to the bottom ofthe next room to find a save room. Save, go back outside and follow one of thetwo moving platforms to the very top. Exit in the top right end of the room.

This is a pretty scary place, with several spinning blades on the wall. Ifrunning past them gets too tough, use your Puppet Master soul. Start by runningright past the two first blades. Make sure you time your sprint, so you don'trun into a blade. The third blade spins really slow, so time your movements,and slide when you're close to passing it, to avoid being hit in the head.Fourth and fifth blades are both easy to avoid. Now, you are in the rightend of the room, and can jump up to the ledge that the blades are hanging on.

Do that and run left past the last three blades. You'll see a hole in theceiling now, so jump up there right away. There are more circle-formed clockgears above you in here. But before jumping onto them, go into the passage inthe lower right corner to find a mirror and a [Scale Mail]. Back in the roomwith the circle-formed gears, jump to the top and exit in the upper right endto find a small room with a Bugbear and [Magic Seal 4]. Go right to find a roomwith lots of Medusa Heads. At the bottom of the room you will find a paper -[
