Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow FAQs

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow Hints

  • DS | Submitted by hiiiii

    Iron Golem

    First go to "demon guest house" and try and find the Iron Golem. Next, when you have found it, keep trying to kill it until you get its soul. When you gets its soul, equip it and you'll turn into the Iron Golem.


  • DS | Submitted by Finepixi

    Fastest Way to Get Money

    To get money really fast and easy you need a couple things.

    1. You need a Mimic soul.
    2. You need to have a fairly high defense, around 70-80.

    First you go to the Subterrainian Hell and you equip your Mimic soul. Then you go to the area with spikes that you have to use puppet master on to get through. Then you stop at the first spike and walk into the spikes. If you did it right a $500 bag will drop on the ground right where you are. If you are around lvl. 75-80 then you can do this 4 times. Then you go over to the save room to replenish your HP and MP. You just keep repeating. Rate: around $20,000/5 min.

    -find the 3 hidden enemies
    -have 100% map
    -get rare and common items from monsters
    -have all weapons
    -have all items

    -Earned a potion, terror bear,nunchuck,deats robe, and rpg in boss rush mode

    -beat julious, normal,and hard mode
    -beat boss rush with yoko, julious, and alucard
    -beat julious mode without yoko (i cant do it, can you?)

    This might take a while, so if you have 80 hours of gameplay, well, thats normal.

    Fast Money

    To get alot of money in a short amount of time, go to Hammer and buy 9 Brass Knuckles. Then go looking for some Zombies and kill a whole lot of them untill you get 9 Zombie Souls. Then go see Yoko right accross from Hammer's shop and fuse the Zombie souls with all of your Brass Knuckles. Once you have fused them all into 9 Cestuses, go back to Hammer and sell all of them to get 27000$! Also you might find alot of items from the Zombies you killed, you get around 4000 extra when you sell all your extra items.

    Defeating Dmitri

    If you have a Witch Soul, let Dmitri copy it. The projectile attack from this soul is fairly easy to avoid and will make this fight much easier.


  • DS | Submitted by GamesRadar

    Attack Faster

    If you have a heavy weapon like a great sword, slow attacks can be a problem. To hit an enemy twice quickly, stand very close to them and attack. Then just as it connects, press L to dash backwards. As soon as it stops, you can attack again; if you are still close enough it should hit. This is quicker than just attacking twice normally.


  • DS | Submitted by GamesRadar

    Easier Boss Rush Mode

    Activate the Devil Soul and use the Valmanway Sword. You can take down all the Bosses in less than five minutes.


Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow Glitches

  • DS | Submitted by Anonymous

    Invisible Weapon

    Ok, First equip a axe and a sword. Swing the axe, and when your axe is about halfway in the swing switch weapons. BANG! Your swinging nothing. This works with other things like swords, but they are harder to do. The downfall is, it wont hurt enemies, but its cool!


  • DS | Submitted by Trogramb

    Great Axe Armor glitch

    If you crouch directly in front of Great Axe Armor, he can't hit you. So hack him up with no worries!
