Hello, I am MegaBelmont presenting to you my FAQ/Walkthrough for Castlevania:
Aria of Sorrow on the Game Boy Advance. I've been a Castlevania fan for years
and am excited about making this FAQ.
______________________________________________________
|>------------------Section 3: Story------------------<|
\____________________________________________________/
(Note: This is taken off of the cover of Aria of Sorrow)
The year is 2035 and Soma Cruz is about to witness the first solar eclipse of
the 21st century when he suddenly blacks out only to awaken inside a
mysterious castle. As Soma, you must navigate the caste's labyrinths while
confronting perilous monsters at every turn. But beware, you must escape before
evil consumes you!
(This is from the game intro)
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 Soma 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 choldhood 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 to
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 the shrine gate, and my senses
began to dim...
The pitch black sun is holding
chaotic darkness together,
trying to rouse a sleeping sould as it
looking for its missing other half...

|_______________________|
The game begins when Soma is lying on the ground and Mina is next to him.
Genya is in the distance. After talking, enemies magicly appear. A skeleton
slays Mina and Genya summons a magic spell to kill them. Then Soma uses his
fireball attack to kill the last remaining enemy. You just obtained his soul.
You are now able to move freely. Now is the time to get used to jumping, firing
your weapon, ect. Once you feel comfterable, go right into the castle. You may
also want to hit pause and get to know your menu. Right away you will be faced
to fight zombies. They will keep appearing after you kill them, but you can
still get some good experience from them. Once you obtain his soul be sure to
go into your menu to the Soul Set selectiona and go down to the yellow orb.
Select that soul to it and exit out. Continue right to the next room. Here you
will be attacked by 2 bats. The best stradigy to kill them is to stand on the
left staircase and let them fly to you. Once they are close enough stab them
and they will die. If your lucky they will give you their red soul, which you
would equip with the red orb in the soul set selection in your menu. Then go
and pick up the sword. This will increase your attack by 5 once you go into
your menu and choose equip, then in the top slot select your sword you just
obtained. Then go down and to the right to get an ability called Grave Keeper.
With this you can backdash by pressing L. You can toggle this ability on and
off by going into your menu and selecting ability, then choose Grave Keeper and
it will go off. By default it is turned on. Once it is obtained you may fight
the mermen which will give you a red soul, or go right into the save point.
Once you saved go out of the save point area and go up. If you remember you saw
a cape when you first entered this room, so go left and pick up this accessory
which will increase your defence by one. To equip it go into your menu and
go to equip/accessory. Now go right to the next room. You will fight some
skeletons which will give you a red soul. Go right to the next room and you
will face an axe knight. It will take a few hits to kill so be sure to duck
when he throws it high and jump over it when he throws his axe low. I hope you
leveled up at least once because you are about to face a boss. If you didn't
level up at least once continue to fight the axe knights and if you run low on
HP go back to the save point, but if you feel like you will win the fight go
right into the blue gate which contains your first boss!

Difficulty: **/*****
He isn't that difficult if you keep your distance. You will find him crawling
on the ground. Equip the skeleton's soul and throw bones at him while keeping
your distance. When he lifts his arm back backdash by pressing L to avoid some
major damage. Once he attacked continue throwing bones at him until he dies. He
will also shoot a fireball at you. This one is easier to dodge because you just
have to jump over it. After hitting him a few times he will die, just remember
to keep your distance and try not to hit him with your normal weapon. Once you
beat him remember to get the magical ball that he drops and go right.
In here go right to where you see the map. Pick it up and then go right into
the next room which is a save point. Once you save go back out and down. Defeat
the bats and eye and then shoot the left wall which will reviel a secret room!
Go inside to pick up an item that will refill your MP when you need it in
battle. Go out of this room and go right to the next room. Swim all the way
right until you get to the dead end, which you will find your first blue soul.
In your menu go to Soul Set/Blue Soul and equip it. You can now glide through
the air with this. Go back to the save point and save, but this time when you
come out go up. Beware of the lion wheel that will fall from above about half
way through. At the top you will need to hold down R to glide across to the
next platform. Go right to the next room. In here you will see a bone snake and
a potion. I would fight the snake from behind since the head is the only part
of his body that will harm you. Just beware after you hit him he will go right.
He is strong so only fight him if you want to, then go right to the next room.
In here go right and then up the stairs. Glide over to pick up the armor then
go follow the stairs left to pick up the potion. Then go up and right to the
next room. In here follow the path up and glide to get a potion, then continue
down and right until you get to the next room. There will be a bone snake in
here that will spit fire at you, so beware. Pick up the accessory to raise your
defence up by one and go out. Follow the path back left again in this room and
go left again to the next room. Defeat the bone archor and axe armor in here
and go left again. In here go down and right to the next room. Go all the way
right to the next room. Kill or avoid the 2 skeletons and eye and go right
again. Beware of the zombies in this long hallway and progress right again to
the next room. There isn't much you can do in this room so go right again. In
the next long hallway your will encounter a rock enemy, just be sure to keep
your distance from him when when he is throwing his rock, then continue right
to the next room. In here they will taunt you with a sword that you can't get,
so go right to the next room (don't fall down!) which is a save point finally!
Now exit the save point and fall down and then go left to the next room. Break
the vase in here to reviel $50 and then continue down until you can go right to
a new room. In here pick up the potion and then go back out. Now continue
heading left until you get to a dead end. Pick up the $500 and then go all the
way back to the save point. Once there go down and this time go right which
you will get into a conversation with Graham about what happened in 1999. Head
right until you get to the new area.

First go up the staircase to the next room. Outside now go left and pick up the
100 gold and then go right. Kill the axe armor and then continue right until
your reached a dead end. Now go up and kill the bone towers, then keep going
up. Jump across the 2 bells and head up until you get the MP potion. Now drop
all the way down and go down the stairs to the next room. In here go right
until you reach the next room. Don't go down the stair case, but instead jump
on the statues which are bended in with the background until you reach a
staircase which u can go up, then go up it. Go right and up and jump on the
bone tower, then jump up to get a new sword. Equip it then go back down to the
previous room you were just in. Follow the stairs down all the way on the right
and go down to the next room. In here go left to the save point.
Exit the save point and go down and left to the next room. In here throw bones
at the plants or whatever you have equiped to throw down at the plants. Kill
all of the enemies until you get to the next boss room. Now's the time to level
up if you need to, but when your ready go left to the blue boss doors!

The first time I fought him I beat him just by swinging my sword at him without
moving at level 5 and had 34 HP left over. I advise that you don't do that, but
it works. You'll want to use the same tactics as the last boss, when he moves
his tail quickly backdash to avoid getting poisoned. He will also shoot
fireballs out of his mouth. The platforms are almost useless unless you want to
throw something at him. Once you beat him pick up the orb and go left to the
next room.
Once you kill him go right and up (Don't exit the room!) and go right to the
next room. Inside will be a white cloth which will bring your intelegence up.
Now go all the way back to the save point then come back to this room again.
Once back inside go all the way left and down. Go right to the next room and
this will take you to a new section of the castle.

As soon as you enter you may do a side quest for a slightly better weapon:
*Side Quest*
Go right to the next room. Then go right, down, left, and left again to get the
new sword. It's not much better, but at least you have some map coverage. Now
back track to the room where you started from.
In here drop all the way down to the next room. Go left and pick up yellow
bottle and then head right to the next room. You can push that crate but it is
useless now since you still can't jump up to the higher platform. So go down
and left. Keep your distance when fighting all of the enemies in here so you
don't get poisoned or cursed. Kill the bull if you have enough HP and then go
left and down to the next room. In here go left and you will reach a save
point.
Exit the save point and then go right to the next room where you will meet Yoko
Belnades, which her last name should sound fimiliar to the old Castlevania
fans. After the conversation go right and be careful because there are some
strong enemies in here such as the minotaur. Go right out of this room and
continue going right until you get to the room with $100. Then go left 1 room
and drop down the left side which will take you to the next boss. Remember if
your not strong enough you can go back and level up, but if you are ready go
inside.

Difficulty: ***/*****
Finally the boss's get alot tougher. His only weak spot is his head. When he
stops moving he is about to attack you with his sword. You want to have a
weapon that will go into the air when you use it while you remain on the
ground, such as the skeleton soul. There is however a cheap way to beat him if
you have some free time on your hands, drag him all the way to the one side of
the room and then use the soul that will fire 2 white mists at him. Continue
doing this while standing at the door and he won't be able to hurt you. Once
your MP is drained use a red potion to regain it, or wait a few minutes for it
to come back. Rince and reuse until he is dead. Get his orb and go left to talk
to Hammer.
After your done go left and obtain a new ability, double jump! Now
you can jump twice in the air! Now backtrack all the way to the room with the
crate that you can push. Push the crate left first so it will fall to the
bottom of the room. Pick up the new sword then exit and enter this room again
to reset the crate. Once you enter again push the crate right. Go up there
and get a necklace which will raise your luck up. Then go down to the next room
and then left again. Continue to backtrack to the previous stage. In here go
up and this time go left to the section you couldn't explore before. Carefully
travel up this room and go right to the next room. Go right again to the next
room. Kill the bone snake and go up the staircase and keep going up until you
can go left into a room. Get the item in here and then go back out and up to
the next room on the left. You just activated a warp!!! You are now back at the
begining of the castle. Go right and then continue going upward. If you are low
on health go to the save point first then return here. When you get to the
right column go down and pick up the brass knuckles, you can attack alot
quicker with them. Then go all the way down to the enterance of the castle
(You will need to press down and A to go down platforms, the enterance of the
caslte is where you began your quest) You can talk to Mina there if you would
like and Hammer is there selling items. Take your time when buying or selling
items. Then head right to the very first save point you accessed.
Exit the save point and go up and right. Go right until you get to the room
just before you fought your first boss. Travel up and when you can go to the
left tower drop down and get a javalin. Then go back to the right tower and
continue going up until you get to the door to the next section and go through.

then right and activate the warp point. Don't warp anywhere and walkj back out
and up the stairs to the room to the right. Avoid the jumping snakes go right
again to the next room. Now go all the way down and go right to the next
screen. Once in here drop down to the next place. Go all the way down here and
drop into the next room. In here kill the enemies if you would like and then go

He isn't that bad if you carefully fight him. In the begining use your long
distance souls so you won't get touched. Once your MP is drained run up to his
foot, duck and start attacking. If you see his back foot comming at you run
backwards and wait for him to stop before attacking again. If he moves away
from you run up to him and then repeat the process. Eventually he will spit
rocks at you. If your in the correct possition you can really take off his HP
when ducking and attacking at his foot. If you do this correctly he shouldn't
even touch you, but if he does he will do quite a bit of damage. Overall it
shouldn't be as bad as the last boss and once you beat him remember to pick up
his orb and then go left to the next room.
In here be sure to pick up the new ability which will allow you to slide by
pressing Down and A! Now go back to the save point and head all the way back up
to the huge room with the dancers. Then go all the way up and make your way to
the nearby save point and save. From here go left and follow it by going left,
up, right, and then up. In here go in the left and right rooms to pick up some
gold. Then in this room make the bull come at you (Your standing to the right
of him) and then jump on his back and up to the right platform. Go up and kill
a few of the bone towers and then jump on top of them and get the huge potion.
Now go back to the save point again, save and then exit. Now go down and this
time go right. Slide under the one wall and then go to right to the next stage.

The first part isn't so bad. When her head attaches to her body you want to
remain as close to her as possible and attack. You may get hurt by her a few
times but don't go backwards. What you want to do is to push her all the way
to the right wall. Once she is there you can attack her repeatidly and she
can't move or attack you! It's too bad this is the easy part. Once she is dead
a man will take her body and now fly above you. Also be sure to duck when you
are attacking her. For the 2nd form you want to equip the skeleton soul and
attack from the ground. Jump over the fire attacks and go inbetween the orbs
to dodge the lightning attacks. If you get the chance to, attack him with your
sword on the floating flatforms. Don't be afraid to use a HP or MP potion, but
only use one of each if any. Once you beat him its not over yet! There is still
1 more form left. The last form he will turn into a lizard. What you want to do
is wait for him to come to you. When he is on the roof don't stand directly
below him. Wait for him to fall and then then attack him while ducking. If you
have any MP left be sure to use it. The best time to attack him is when your
ducking and he sticks out his toung. Beat him, pick up the orb, then go back
and save.
Now go back to the boss room again and go right this time to the next room.
Once in here go up right away (It's hidden with your health) so you are now
outside the castle. Slowly kill all of the enemies out here because if you
don't they will haunt you the whole way up. Once at the top of here go left
and pick up the sword and then go right to pick up a new yellow soul to let you
walk on water!!! Now go all the way back to the room where you fought the very
first boss. From here go right one room and then down. Then go left to the next
room and swim all the way to where you can go up. Be sure to equip the soul to
allow you to walk on water and jump up and go right to the next stage.

In here continue going right until you get to a save point. Then exit the save

of it should be a platform that goes up and down, get on that and take it up.
Then go right and pick up the map. Then go up the platform in this screen and
then go left to the next room. Now take the platform up to the next floor and
go right to the next screen. Go right without falling down and go right to the
next screen which will now warp you into the sky. Go right to the next tower,
fighting the enemies you want. Again you can explore this new tower or just go
right to the next tower. In here go right and when you can drop down do so.
Then go left to gain access to another save point. Exit the save point, go back
up, and this time go right. Now go left again and keep going left until you get
to the next area.

Difficulty: ****/*****
It wouldn't be a Castlevania game without Death, Dracula's close aside. For his
first form you have to defeat his Scythe. He will fire little syphes at you,
simply dodge them. He will do some major damage if you get hit by anything so
be careful. His second form isn't so bad as long as you are ready for any move.
When he is on the ground jump over him and always duck while attacking him. If
he throws his Scythe be ready to jump over it before you see it on the screen
because it comes fast. Once you beat him you will obtain his blue soul which
fires Scythes in all directions.
After you beat him go right and get the new ability which will allow you to now
go into the water! Backtrack to the room where you last met Yoko. To the left
of there was a place where you could sink in the water, go down there and go
left first to the next room. In here go down and left to the next room. In here
dodge the spikes by manuvering around them and sliding and go right to the next
room. Go down and left to the next room. In here you will find some new cloths
to really boost up your defense. (Press down and A to drop off of the boxes)
Then backtrack until you have an intersection that you can go right on. Go in
here and swing all the way right until you get the new sword. Go back and then
go up to the spot where you first came in at. You can go back to save it or
this time progress right to the next room. Keep going down until you reach an
intersection. Go right and you will reach a warp point. Warp to the farthest
left warp point. You can buy/sell items from Hammer or go right to the first
save point. Exit there and it's time to go to the next stage by going all the
way left.

Go down and get the necklace, then go right to the next room. Make sure the
soul to make you sink in water is equipped and go all the way right and then
go down to the next room. You can go left for a sword which isn't good, so I
suggest going right to the next screen. In here go right again to the next
screen. In here there is an HP potion to the right of the bone tower. Keep
going right until you have to go down all the way to the bottom and then go
right into another save point. Exit there and go left to the next room. In here
you will encounter a boss you beat before, so kill him and go left to the next
room. Now go down and right to the next stage. Continue right until you get to
the floating platforms. Go right on one and then jump to the one that will take
you up. Then go left and you will gain access to another warp point. Don't warp
anywhere and exit this room and go all the way to the bottom and go left to the
next screen. Go all the way left until you reach the next cut scene. Here Yoko
just got stabbed by Graham! Soon Genya comes in from behind to find her dead.
Go right (not left!) to the next room and then go down and right to the next
stage.
