Castlevania - SOTN help (SPOILERS)

johntmanic · 6 Apr 2007 at 17:35

Hi im stuck on how to get in 3 places of the map on Castlevania SOTN could someone help me?

1. Bottom right hand corner of the map where the room is pitch black and if you walk forward something knocks energy off you? how do i get through this?

2. The right hand side of the clock room the statue doesnt move over like the one on the left does? what am i doing wrong?

3. Above the snake teleport room where all the salom's witchs are on the right hand side apparently you can go through there and get the Ring of Acres but i cant get the room to open? i can see like a switch or something above the rock wall in the way but i cant do anything to it?

Any help will be top.

Thanks

John

1.
You need the power echo of bat, no idea where that is though I'm afraid.

2.
You need to use the clock sub weapon, once you stop time the side should open.

3.
For this you need your demon/devil familiar out, if you have him out long enough he will flip the switch.

EDIT: The echo of bat power is in the room after the battle Olrox.

Go to your relic screen, and activate the card.

i.e Faerie or Sword, this should make a little familiar appear alongside you.

But the demon card is the one you need.

Thanks a lot for all that! one more room that ive found that i cant get into is top right of the map and its where the madusa heads are, and the cogs!
Theres a cog near some water that you can hit but i cant seem to go through the door! i hope that makes sense?! apparently you can get steel helm etc?

Cheers again!

Only just recently done this myself.

In the room before that locked door there are two cogs in the wall, hit these until they make a click, then go into the room with the door and do the same.

Hopefully this opens the door for you !

Top man you crunchman! this is the last one i promise!

For the floor to open you need to have both the gold and silver rings equipped.

You need to fly through the spiked area and beat the boss there to get one of the rings, the other is in the top-left corner of the bell tower, in the hallway with the spikes.

If you've beaten the boss in the underground caverns I can give you a better explanation, as otherwise It would spoil the story for you.

Thanks a lot for all that ive completed it now and gone to inverted castle!
What sort of percentage should i be looking it if i find everything in the first castle? im on 99.7% i think?

crunchman · 6 Apr 2007 at 20:59

No idea mate, I left the first castle with ~80% complete.

I've currently got 199.6 %

johntmanic · 6 Apr 2007 at 21:09

Ive just googled it and apparently there 100.1% (which ive just got) in the first castle and 100.6% in the reverse castle! therefore giving you 200.6% overall!

crunchman · 7 Apr 2007 at 00:53

Yes, the elusive 200.6%

I'm stuck at 200.5% atm :mad:

Right ive come to a new problem in the inverted castle!
Its around top left and right of the map where you are in the caverns with the water! no matter what i try i cant fill in some of the areas of the map where the water is on the roof!? i use the mavity boots etc i just cant seem to fill it!
Its where the map is 2 blocks high! if that makes sense!?

EDIT: Its ok ive sussed it out! you have to use the dog and swin on the top!
