Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game)	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Castlevania duology of Aria of Sorrow (GBA), released in 2003, and Dawn of Sorrow (DS), released in 2005. The duology takes place in 2035/2036, after the permanent defeat of Count Dracula. Both games follow a high school student, Soma Cruz, who has strange and dangerous magical powers.Aria of Sorrow was included in the Compilation Rerelease Castlevania Advance Collection alongside Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance and Castlevania: Dracula X; released on September 23rd 2021 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam.Aria of SorrowIn the year 2035, Soma Cruz is a seemingly Ordinary High-School Student (Foreign Exchange Student in the English version) who gets transported to Dracula's Castle (AKA Castlevania), thought to have been sealed permanently during the battle of 1999, during a solar eclipse, along with fellow student Mina Hakuba. Also at the scene is government agent Genya Arikado, who suggests that Soma venture further into the castle to discover the secret of its reappearance. Soma contains the Power of Dominance, which allows him to take the souls of his enemies and conform them to his will. It is revealed later that a mad cultist named Graham Jones is behind everything and believes himself to be the reincarnation of Dracula. Obviously, he has to be stopped.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Dawn of SorrowThe box, manual and introduction make no effort to hide Soma's status as Dracula's reincarnation. The game starts with Soma living a normal life with his not-girlfriend Mina when he is suddenly attacked by cult leader Celia, who wishes to create a new Dark Lord. After the fight, Soma charges into the cult's base with nothing but a rusty pocket knife and the clothes on his back. Oh, and he doesn't have any of the souls from Aria, having dumped them in the Chaotic Realm to reseal Castlevania and all. This time, the castle is somewhere in Europe and is made to be a similar substitute to the sealed Castlevania.

The need to have this plot point is unclear, as the story behind the castle (except possibly what is under it, and even that may be a creation of the cult) has no meaning at all.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_18683fc2	comment	Power Up Letdown: Trying to summon using the Killer Fish soul in Aria results in the fish dying unless you're underwater. The soul description does warn you about this side effect. Ascalon in Dawn. The problem is that the weapon preceding it, Dainslef, confers boosts to STR, CON, and INT. Even ignoring the INT boost being good on its own, the STR Boost causes Dainslef to wobble between matching and slightly beating Ascalon's raw ATK, resulting in Ascalon being strictly inferior. Insult to injury, the weapon that follows Ascalon is Balmung, which while stronger than the preceding weapons also requires the one-per-playthrough Gergoth Soul in order to create it. Since the Chaos Ring requires having every soul in the game on hand at once in order for it to spawn, that presents a problem.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_1a3a91dd	comment	Say My Name: Soma's name is often called in dramatic moments. Also, in Julius Mode, each character calls for one another when switching. Prepare to hear lots of "Yoko!" "Julius!" and "Alucard!" over and over again. Soma as the Dark Lord pulls this on whichever playable character is active when you begin the final boss battle (with said character uttering a somber-sounding "Soma..." beforehand). Note that Yoko gets the Last-Name Basis treatment, whereas Alucard is referred to by his preferred alias. As for Julius, Soma starts out calm enough, only to crank up the decibel level once he gets to the family name ("BERUMONDO!!"). Old grudges die hard, apparently.

Alucard was a playable character in that game. Julius and Yoko are descendants of Trevor and Sypha, respectively. Certain unused assets suggest Hammer was also intended to be playable at some point, filling in the role of Grant. All the while, Soma plays the role of "Dracula if Lisa hadn't died", and indeed becomes villainous if Mina shares her fate.

That said, he retained the ability to slide and backdash from the very start of Dawn, whereas in Aria he needed the Skeleton Blaze and Grave Keeper souls to perform each skill respectively. Similarly, he requires the Kicker Skeleton soul to perform a drop kick after a double jump in Aria. While this power isn't immediately available in Dawn, reacquiring the Malphas soul also restores the ability to drop kick.

Its sequel, Dawn of Sorrow, has another Julius Mode, but this time, he's joined by Yoko Belnades and Alucard, in a Call-Back to Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. The Final Boss is also altered as well.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_2f253c94	comment	Glass Cannon: On a New Game+ on Hard Mode in Aria, your character will likely be this, especially in the beginning. You start with all your items and almost all souls, including ridiculously game-breaking weapons. However, there's no equivalent game-breaking armor, and while most enemies will go down in one to three hits, they'll still do a surprising amount of damage. The Lubicant soul increases your attack power as you lose HP. It's very useful for clearing Boss Rush mode quickly, if you dare, as you begin with a Spoiled Milk. Using the Devil soul in Dawn eventually turns Soma into this. It stops draining health if Soma doesn't have more than 10 HP without revoking the power boost... but you still don't have more than 10 HP, so just about anything will likely kill you.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	type	Boring, but Practical
Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: The Medusa Head Soul in both games makes you hover in the air for a pittance of mana. Almost indefinitely, in a game featuring bosses with raised weak points whose attacks sweep the ground. In Dawn of Sorrow, jump kicking damage is based on air time rather than distance. Guess what Medusa Head lets you do with the kick. The Axe Armor soul in Dawn is your garden variety Castlevania overhead throwing axe. And as usual, it's one of the most useful weapons in the game. The Headhunter boss's soul in Aria is a passive soul and guaranteed drop that grants boosts to all stats but LCK based on how many souls he's collected. Unless you're actively avoiding killing monsters as much as possible... Giant Ghost soul in Aria creates a barrier that protects you against projectiles. Pretty much ANY projectile. Can make Death's first form fall down easily! Killer Mantle disposes of any Golem (except Big Golem) in ONE HIT. Makes it easier to grind for Flesh Golem and regular Golem souls, and later for Iron Golem. Boy, are you ever going to miss it in the sequel. Any soul that increases LCK (such as the ghost dancers) is a generally good go-to "passive" soul to have active when exploring the castle, since it also increases your chances of getting more souls in the process. (Unfortunately, the Luck stat is severely nerfed in Dawn, reducing its effectiveness greatly.) The Skelerang Soul in Dawn increase both the power and speed of throwing weapons like the Boomerang, and also allows you to have two of them on-screen at the same time. Since throwing weapons don't have any animations, you can easily use them to clear enemies at range with no cost to anything.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_4a10e526	comment	You Have Researched Breathing: Sort of. Aria has two ability souls of note — the first is Grave Keeper, which allows you to do a backwards dash (almost every other game has it naturally), and the Kicker Skeleton is the second, where you can do a drop kick after a double jump (normally a requisite of the double jump in other games). Neither of these are technically mandatory. There's also the Skeleton Blaze soul, which lets you slide, but unlike the former souls, it's necessary to progress in the game. In Dawn, Soma starts the game with the power to backdash and slide, and regains the drop kick alongside double jump despite having released all his souls at the end of Aria.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_4afad1b9	type	Rare Random Drop
Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_4afad1b9	comment	Rare Random Drop: Some souls can be stupidly hard to get: Tsuchinoko from Aria can just straight up leave the room, so you need to be decently powerful and/or hope it feels like co-operating to get even a chance of having its soul. And then you need to hope the RNG co-operates as well, although its drop rate isn't too terrible. So as long as you're strong enough to kill it decently quickly, it's much easier to get. Sky Fish in Aria gives a Stealth Hi/Bye. Peeping Eye and Ouija Table in Dawn are technically available in the very first area, but their abysmal drop rates ensure that most players won't get them until much later. Iron Golem in Dawn has 50 HP and resistance to EVERY SINGLE ATTACK TYPE IN THE GAME, ensuring that you will only ever do 1 HP of damage with every attack (unless you attack it with Death's Scythe's special attack, which deals 2 HP), or using a multi-hit weapon like Laevatain to reduce that. The only relief to give oneself in this venture is to use the not-as-useful Imp Soul, "Astral Veil", which turns the screen black-white for a bit and switches HP/MP for a time. However, this Iron Golem STILL has 15 MP, which while more manageable, would still require 8 hits from Laevatain in order to defeat. Astral Veil doesn't last but a few short seconds and costs a pretty hefty 50 MP to cast. Soul Rarity is 3 stars (1%). Players are pretty likely to attempt farming this soul several times for the Chaos Ring and to forge Burtgang in the Sword forging list. The only other consolation is the fact that Iron Golem gives a pretty hefty 2000 experience points per kill.* The Dead Pirate Soul can also help tremendously, as it allows you to deal double damage when attacking from behind irrespective of the target's defenses. Given that the Iron Golem can't turn around and the Puppet Master Soul can get you behind it without much guff, this can allow it to be dispatched in decent time with the Kaiser Knuckle (or the Valmanway if you have it).

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_4c24a9ed	comment	Power Copying: Besides Soma himself, Dmitrii Blinov has the ability to use any enemy ability he's hit by. In your fight with him, he'll mimic any Bullet and Guardian Souls you use against him, but he'll only utilize what you hit him with last, so you could... say... use the Student Witch soul and throw an easy-to-dodge cat at him, forcibly locking Dmitrii into a laughably easy attack pattern (all you'd really need to worry about then would be a simple stabbing attack). If you want to make him look even more ridiculous, hit him with the Cave Troll soul: any enemy ability he copies is restricted to level 1, meaning that instead of the long-ranged tongue attack with half screen range Soma gets at Level 9, he'll be stuck with an ineffectual mildly rude gesture that has an even shorter range than his knife. After his initial defeat, he seemingly dies and his black soul enters into Soma — but it's not Soma gaining dominance over a human soul, it's just Dmitrii inserting himself into Soma so he can copy Soma's basic ability to copy other powers by absorbing souls. Unfortunately, this double level of Power Copying overwhelms Dmitrii and he transforms into a massive abomination — or, rather, said abomination rips its way out of his body, killing him in the process.

After absorbing every single monster soul to become the Dark Lord, the massive power Dmitrii got turns out to be too much for him since, while he did successfully copy Soma's power of dominance, he did not copy the Required Secondary Powers needed to properly contain the souls he absorbed. This results in a skeletal, monstrous fusion of an abomination emerging from Dmitrii's back as he dies in sheer agony.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_5313c266	comment	Bookends: Depending on how you look at it, the Sorrow series provides the ultimate closure for Dracula. For one, compare Soma to Mathias; the color of their garments and hair are almost completely reversed. In Lament of Innocence, we see Mathias falling out with the Belmonts and the beginning of his descent into darkness. In the Sorrow games, Soma gets to live a relatively blissful life, has a good ally in the form of Julius Belmont, and, just as he is the latest incarnation of Dracula, his love interest Mina Hakuba is heavily implied to be the reincarnation of Elisabetha Cronqvist, as Lisa was before her. Perhaps God gave Mathias another shot at happiness?

It even has a "Vampire Killer" arrangement as its background music. Of course, this isn't the first time this has been done; Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse and Super Castlevania IV had similar levels at the start of its castle, although it wasn't underground. Almost every enemy in the Floating Garden is a creature or summon from Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. As noted under Continuity Nod, if you look carefully in Dawn, the areas are like in Aria in terms of map location.

Possible to acquire early, powerful for the entire game, for a reasonable MP cost too. The very first enemies in Aria, zombies, will occasionally drop the Baselard, a short knife. As revealed in the LP of the game by Roahm Mythril, the Baselard very quickly proves to outclass almost all of the weapons you find in the early game. For such a small weapon, it does a surprising amount of damage with its good ATK boost and high speed. Bhuj, an axe, in Dawn. Not entirely for its damage, either. The true magic is the fact that it's a tier 3 weapon that takes Axe Armor and Manticore Souls to create, which are both common enough, and sells for 10,000G. The absolute earliest you can make it is midway through the Wizardry Lab (the second area), but there are no convenient Axe Armors up to that point. No worries, just carry on a little bit to the first accessible part of the Demon Guest House, and you'll find a room with two, both of which you can kill in one shot with a maxed Skeleton soul, while the Manticore in the Wizardry Lab near a room transition on the floor to a hallway with a Stone Golem in it is perfectly placed for farming. Get nine each of their souls, plus the axes the Axe Armors are liable to drop (buy more from Hammer if you didn't get 9 in the first place), make a bunch of Bhuj, and then sell them for an easy 90,000G. Repeat it a few times and you'll have no trouble whatsoever footing the bill for that Soul Eater Ring. It even works great later in the game, too.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_5f3bb274	comment	Late-Arrival Spoiler: None of the official materials post-Aria have bothered to hide the reveal that Soma is Dracula's re-incarnation. In fact, this was considered a selling point of Aria of Sorrow pretty early on in its run, with fans of the series eager to play through Castlevania as the Dark Lord himself. Played with in terms of Genya Arikado's identity. He is so heavily implied to be Alucard in all of his appearances that it is practically impossible to miss, but the Sorrow main stories avoid coming right out and saying it. It's largely treated as an open secret by fans and the series' creators regardless. Dracula was killed once and for all in 1999 by the last Belmont descendant. This is one of the first pieces of exposition the player is given in Aria of Sorrow and is simply treated matter-of-factly from that point on.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: The steps to unlocking the real ending in Aria of Sorrow. There are some vague clues and a sort of logic (you need to equip souls that give you Dracula's traditional abilities), but it still requires finding just the right enemies to get souls from, and the clues are very easy to overlook. Not to mention you still need to work out where you need them equipped. Also from Aria, how to get Legion's soul, the only boss whose Soul you may get or not. note This does not count the bosses that reappear later as standard enemies. You have to attack its outer shell made up of corpses first. This shell is made up of four segments, which break off with enough damage, exposing its core. The catch is, you must not destroy the core without getting rid of all the bodies surrounding it. If you do, you kill it anyway, but you won't get its soul. And, since it's a boss, you cannot fight it again for its soul in that run. This does not affect story progression, but does lock you out of 100% Completion and makes one of the hardest boss fights in the game much harder. Getting through the waterfall is quite the confusion, as it requires the use of two souls in conjucture to get through. Specifically, Undine which is logical to have by that point and any other soul that rushes you further such as the Curly soul. While the solution is quite literally written on the wall of the room, it's in the form of small drawings that can be rather hard to notice and figure out. To a lesser extent, Julius Mode's primary mechanic in Aria. Yes, you can get to the Final Boss Graham almost immediately since Julius starts with all his abilities unlocked, but if you do that the boss will destroy you. Turns out, Julius "levels up" only after defeating the game's bosses, so you need to go around and defeat them before you can effectively stand up to the final boss.

Enemies and certain armor items do have elemental strengths and weaknesses, but most of the time you can get by just fine without paying attention to them. Interestingly, certain weapons such as the Kaiser Knuckle, the Killer Mantle's soul, and Balore's soul in Aria have no attribute assigned to them, allowing them to bypass resistances. This allows them to make short work of a Final Guard, who are resistant to all attributes in the game otherwise.

Notably, defeating Legion without completely destroying its outer shell causes the fetus to burn up after the cage breaks, but if you fully destroyed the shell, it instead floats into the air and briefly opens its eyes before transforming into a red soul to be absorbed by Soma. note This is also the only way to lose a unique boss soul that can't be acquired elsewhere, so defeating the core without fully destroying the shell means losing out on that 100% soul rate for that playthrough.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_8e9cf84e	comment	"Blind Idiot" Translation: At one point, you'll find a Satan's Ring to use. But in Japan, it was called the "Dark Lord's Ring", so considering the context, it actually is the Dracula's Ring we've been collecting since Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. The names of many enemies in Aria are misspelled too. "Curly" should be Kali, "Skull Millione" should be Scarmiglione, "Lubicant" should be Rubicante and the soul of Scylla has been renamed "Skulla" for whatever reason. Instead of fixing these, the Compilation Rerelease added more. One of the rerelease's Anti-Frustration Features is a gadget that pops up every time you hit an enemy to show if you already collected their soul or not. The Mudman is listed on the gadget as "Madman". Also in Aria, a handful of souls have decidedly unhelpful or outright wrong descriptions. For instance, the game claims the Dead Warrior allows the player to "deflect normal attacks by pressing UP + B," when what it really does is allow the player to cancel their own normal attacks by using a Bullet soul. The Zombie Officer soul's description says "Jumping while taking damage restores health," but all it does is allow Soma to cancel aerial knockback by jumping after taking a hit. Aria keeps at it with its weapon names. A holy spear is named "Ronginus' Spear" (as in Saint Longinus, who pierced Jesus's side with a lance on the cross), Katar was renamed to "Cutall", the Claiomh Solais is mispelled as "Claimh Solais", the list goes on. In Aria, when Mina explains the myth that inspired the idea to seal Dracula's castle in a solar eclipse, the goddess Amaterasu Ōkami is mistranslated as "Tensho Daijin" due to a complete misreading of the kanji used to write her name.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_963086ce	comment	Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Those who play Aria followed by Dawn may find it confusing when the "jump" button becomes the "special attack" button. Unless you've been playing SNES games all your life, then this trope has suddenly been played in your favor. (In fact, SNES games using B for jump and Y for attack is likely the reason it is that way in Dawn and all DS Castlevania games, ironically an attempt at averting this trope.) This is especially an issue if you play Aria on a Nintendo DS, due to the way the Game Boy Advance's A and B buttons translate to different positions. The game lets you change out the controls... Too bad you can only do it for Soma Mode; Julius Mode is stuck with the defaults, as he can't access the menu and thus the options.

It's a rare drop from a very tough enemy (making it a pain to even acquire in the first place), can only be used on the ground, freezes you in place and stops you from doing anything else while it's active, and has an excruciating MP cost. However, it grants instant invincibility on demand so long as you're grounded and provides even more lengthy invincibility frames if you block an attack — during which you can deactivate the soul and move or attack again. Though it has a short delay after you turn it off before you can move again in Dawn, proper use of it in either game effectively gives Soma the ability to parry almost every attack in the game.

In your fight with him, he'll mimic any Bullet and Guardian Souls you use against him, but he'll only utilize what you hit him with last, so you could... say... use the Student Witch soul and throw an easy-to-dodge cat at him, forcibly locking Dmitrii into a laughably easy attack pattern (all you'd really need to worry about then would be a simple stabbing attack). If you want to make him look even more ridiculous, hit him with the Cave Troll soul: any enemy ability he copies is restricted to level 1, meaning that instead of the long-ranged tongue attack with half screen range Soma gets at Level 9, he'll be stuck with an ineffectual mildly rude gesture that has an even shorter range than his knife.

The cult tries to force the issue, while Arikado and Soma come to the conclusion that the universe will balance things out on its own by providing a Dark Lord when one is needed.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_b545453b	comment	Internal Homage: Fittingly, the final battle against Dark Lord Soma in Julius Mode of Dawn serves as one to both Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night. Soma, assuming the classic Slouch of Villainy favored by Dracula, throws a glass of wine to the ground before the battle begins. He spends most of the first phase making liberal use of Dracula's Villain Teleportation skills, complete with Hikaru Midorikawa performing an Evil Laugh that would make Norio Wakamoto proud. Then there's the matter of his One-Winged Angel form, which is identical to the one Dracula assumes to fight Richter Belmont. If that wasn't enough, the boss fight sees the return of what is likely Dracula's most well-known theme, "Dance of Illusions."

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_c4acda54	comment	Item Farming: To get any Soul beyond the most frequently dropped and frequently encountered ones to a decent level (or found in the first place), you need to grind with the Soul Eater Ring (double soul drop rates) equipped. And to afford the Soul Eater Ring, you need a lot of money. The only way to afford this (as pretty much every enemy drops the same amount of money regardless of strength) is to grind zombies and fuse their souls into weapons and sell the weapons. This takes about 14 or so trips with each trip taking 8 or so minutes with decent Luck Stat. Once you spent 2 hours on the Soul Eater Ring, you spend more time repeatedly killing various enemies with low soul drop rates (many are 1% before ring and luck bonus, while others only appear in a single room). Of course, this only really applies if you're going for 100% Completion, but there are benefits to doing so...

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_c7270d1c	type	With This Herring
Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_c7270d1c	comment	With This Herring: Soma starts both games with nothing but a knife and the clothes on his back. This is quite understandable in Aria, where his plan for the day was to, effectively, go to his not-girlfriend's house and watch a solar eclipse. He certainly wasn't expecting to be transported to Dracula's frickin' castle to fight for his life, and it's actually a small miracle he had the knife at all. You'd expect Arikado — who was there at the beginning, gets him started on the quest and, y'know, is Alucard — to at least have a sword for him or something, though. It strains Willing Suspension of Disbelief a bit in Dawn, as an evil cult has arrived, ready to kill Soma and/or turn him into the Dark Lord (hey, whatever works), attacks him and his best friend, and puts the world on the verge of plunging into darkness. What does Arikado toss to him to fight this menace? ... A knife. Really? You'd think between him and Soma, they'd have a better arsenal than that at their disposal. Soma then storms the castle, with nothing but this knife.

The lethal factor is that it does 10x the amount of damage if the kick is successful. While its range makes it an utterly terrible weapon against a lot of creatures, it can turn several enemies and bosses into jokes when used correctly due to how absurd the damage gets when it gets strong enough.

It works if Soma isn't wearing Mina's talisman, leading to the Bad Ending/Julius Mode, but if he is, the game continues as normal.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_eb4ee9eb	type	Guns Are Worthless
Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_eb4ee9eb	comment	Guns Are Worthless: Played mostly straight in Aria, where the handgun is only obtainable at a point in the game that you can easily have the Infinity +1 Sword by (and even if you don't, it's still weak compared to everything else). The Positron Rifle is decent enough, but a Bragging Rights Reward due to the quick finish of Boss Rush (which requires getting the good ending and being able to kick every boss' ass in under 5 minutes) required. There is a Hard Mode-exclusive Silver Gun though, which is pretty good (as in, workable, but like every other weapon, outclassed by the Infinity +1 Sword). Averted in Dawn, where the handgun is a great early weapon if bought from Hammer when first available (you can also find it a bit later) with its high firerate (if combined with any form of Lag Cancel), and the Silver Gun works great for a bit after that, but the lack of upgrades after the Silver Gun make it worthless for endgame. Then again, the guns have an attack range across the entire screen and do Hitscan damage, and don't require using any mana (as well as having infinite ammo), so they're not totally useless.

Hammer goes AWOL and becomes a shopkeeper as soon as we meet him. Yoko is stabbed by Graham in Aria and becomes a non-combatant in Dawn. Julius is fought to a stalemate by Soma in Aria and defeated by a post-ritual Dario in Dawn. And just before Dawn's final boss fight, Dmitrii kills Celia as part of a sacrifice for more power and takes down Arikado.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_f55a1990	comment	Disc-One Final Dungeon: Both games technically have one, but the Top Floor of Aria is the most straightforward and initially convincing one, with its high octane soundtrack, the sometimes hellish backdrop, little details like the animated armor letting Soma past, and of course the final battle taking place in the throne room as is tradition, against Graham, who does a pretty damn good job living up to his claims of being Dracula. Only the dangling plot thread of Julius and his whip and the easy to miss and easy to forget sealed entrance in the floating gardens hint that there's more game past this area.

Unfortunately, this double level of Power Copying overwhelms Dmitrii and he transforms into a massive abomination — or, rather, said abomination rips its way out of his body, killing him in the process.

Subverted with the ending of Dawn, where it is Soma's thoughts of Mina that prevent all of the souls released by Menace from overwhelming him and turning him into the next Dark Lord. In other words, this is a two-sided case that persists in the Dracula character; losing his loved one makes him turn to evil, but as long as he has her, he can maintain being good.

Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_fb111d49	type	Sequence Breaking
Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_fb111d49	comment	Sequence Breaking: The Succubus glitch in Dawn allows you to turn a temporary Flash Step special move into a permanent change in location, allowing you to warp past solid walls. Even without canceling out of it, it can activate a few Doors To Before from the wrong side. (This type can even be pulled off in Julius Mode via Alucard.) Also easily done in Aria of Sorrow. You can actually ignore two areas and just go directly to the Floating Garden. This allows you to pull off some serious shenanigans and get Skula before you get Undine or the Slide. You'll eventually have to backtrack, but by the time you've beaten Death, you would have acquired some seriously awesome stuff. Wonky collision detection in Aria makes it possible to clip into walls while riding on the back of a Catoblepas or Gorgon, as well as use the Giant Bat soul to turn virtually every solid wall into a warp zone. Proper application of the two can result in Soma warping from the Castle Corridor to the warp room in the Chapel to fetch the Malphas soul, warping from the Floating Garden to the Arena for the Giant Bat soul, warping from there to the Top Floor en route to an even more advanced warp into the Forbidden Area for the Claimh Solais before finally warping into the Chaotic Realm, right in front of Chaos' chamber for the final boss battle. In Dawn of Sorrow, large sections of the game can be skipped either after the first playthrough, or with some other method of accessing the cross-hilt dagger Cinqueda — because it has a special move that teleports you, it can trigger every single door-switch from the wrong side. Other tricks exist to bypass barriers meant to block you until you got a specific item.

This is the only way to get most of the better weapons in the game. Sort of a mixed blessing, as if you want to make the best weapons, you'll have to spend significantly more time grinding for rare souls than you otherwise would. On the other hand, buying cheap weapons, grinding for certain common souls, using them to make moderately good weapons, and selling the now much more valuable weapons back to Hammer is an excellent way to make money.

Also, there was indeed a total solar eclipse in 1999, the maximum being in Romania, where Dracula's castle usually reappears. Soma is 18 years old in the game, meaning he was born in 2017, possibly implying that he was born during the August 2017 eclipse. That eclipse, as well as the 1999 and 2035 eclipses, are all part of the same Saros series, being 18 years apart.
