Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is a 2005 Metroidvania game and part of the Castlevania series. It's a direct sequel to Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and the first installment to be released on the Nintendo DS.The 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.Unmarked spoilers ahead. | |

Main Character Final Boss | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_1263f698 | comment |
Main Character Final Boss: In a unique twist on the extra character modes -which had become series standard by this point-, Julius Mode is unlocked via the bad ending, and continues on from it. In the bad ending, Soma fully embraces his inner darkness and becomes Dracula, upon which Julius, Yoko, and Alucard resolve to stop him. Julius Mode swaps to the perspective of Julius and his companions, and upon making it to the centre of the Abyss, they confront Soma, and are forced to fight him as their final enemy. In a rather dark take on this trope, not only are they forced to Mercy Kill Soma, there is also the implication that he will eventually resurrect fully as Dracula, starting the vicious cycle all over again. | |

Another Side, Another Story: Julius Mode. Unlike Aria of Sorrow where it had no plot, this is where the titular character focuses on getting stronger so he could fulfill his promise to kill Soma if he ever becomes Dracula. | |

Chaos Architecture | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_1527e9ae | comment |
Chaos Architecture: Somehow Dawn of Sorrow completely ignores this, taking place in an "exact replica" of Dracula's castle, completely ignoring its status as a creature of chaos. 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. | |

Power-Up Letdown | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_18683fc2 | comment |
Power Up Letdown: Ascalon. 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. | |

Say My Name | |
| Castlevania: Dawn 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. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death: Dmitrii Blinov suffers one of the most horrifying in the entire series. After his Thanatos Gambit that allows him to copy Soma's Dominance ability and return to life from his first death, Dmitrii loses control of the power and all of the monster souls he's absorbed coalesce into a horrible Eldritch Abomination... that swells from and bursts from his back, tearing his body to pieces in the process in his clear agony. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: The Devil Soul. It's a Guardian soul — press R and you will begin to lose twenty HP per second in exchange for much higher power, though it'll stop draining your health before it kills you (but still provide the power boost). Great if you're good at not getting hit and/or doing the Boss Rush. | |

Captain Ersatz: Zephyr in Dawn is basically a palette swap of Dio Brando from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, with the same abilities and everything. You even fight him outside of the clock tower, much like the final battle between Dio and Jotaro. If that wasn't enough, he shouts Dio's iconic "TOKI WO TOMARE!" before freezing time. | |

Generation Xerox | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_25bc8511 | comment |
Generation Xerox: The cast of protagonists bears a striking similarity to the cast of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. 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. | |

Bag of Spilling | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_28104b90 | comment |
Bag of Spilling: Partially justified : Since Soma didn't have any reason to use his Power of Dominance for a long time, all of the souls he collected were released... though it doesn't explain what happened to all his gear and loot from the previous game. 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. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: 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 is your garden variety Castlevania overhead throwing axe. And as usual, it's one of the most useful weapons in the game. The Skelerang Soul increases 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. | |

Flunky Boss: The Puppet Master (creates floating doll enemies), Abaddon (directs the movements of a colossal swarm of insects), Menace (spawns creatures that look a lot like Langoliers) and Soma/Dracula (brings a Gaibon familiar for his first phase and swaps it out for a Harpy in his second.). | |

The Unfought | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_464dd7cc | comment |
The Unfought: No matter which ending the player is going for, Celia Fortner will not be fought against as a proper boss. On the average ending, Celia manages to escape the castle, although Arikado does state that he has agents tracking her whereabouts. On the bad ending, Soma turns into the Dark Lord and kills Celia immediately, thus forcing Julius Mode to occur and fulfill the classic destiny. On the road to the good ending, Dmitrii sacrifices Celia in order to reverse Arikado's powers and defeats Arikado. | |

Rare Random Drop | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_4afad1b9 | comment |
Rare Random Drop: Peeping Eye and Ouija Table 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 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). | |

Power Copying | |
| Castlevania: Dawn 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. | |

Body Horror | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: 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. | |

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.) | |

Scratch Damage | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_5405b144 | comment |
Scratch Damage: Can be subverted to a degree, as it has a soul that gives a flat damage reduction and with it equipped, all attacks that'd do 1 damage normally do 0 damage. This makes it so that Soma doesn't flinch when hit by such attacks, but he still bleeds like a stuck pig while shrugging them off, which makes it look pretty amusing. | |

Nostalgia Level | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_56b5a6b7 | comment |
Nostalgia Level: The Silenced Ruins, an area that looks exactly like a rather run-down version of the first level of Castlevania, although since it's deep underground, you can see caverns (and in a couple of places lava) through windows and holes in the wall. 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. As noted under Continuity Nod, if you look carefully, the areas are like in Aria in terms of map location. | |

Dark Is Not Evil | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_575fd5e2 | comment |
Dark Is Not Evil: Despite his background, personality, and black suit, Arikado is your most helpful ally. Even when he unseals his powers in one ending, he still acts the same instead of losing his mind, a common side effect to such actions. It's probably no accident that the Big Bad in the first game wears white. Soma himself, despite having dark powers, isn't inherently evil. In fact, Yoko explicitly invokes this trope to Soma when she explains the nature of his powers. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: The Mandragora soul. Like the Nightmare soul in Aria, it's acquired early and powerful. 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. | |

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. | |

Driven to Suicide: Dmitrii kills himself after his fight with Soma and allows him to absorb his soul. However, he takes the time to copy Soma's Power of Dominance and later takes over the body of the doppelganger Celia tries to trick Soma with, allowing Dmitrii to resume a human form. | |

Demonic Possession: Soma ends up unknowingly sharing his body with Dmitrii's spirit and, when Arikado reveals that the "Mina" that Celia murdered was actually a doppelganger to trick him into going evil, Dmitrii then leaves his host after he finished copying his abilities — painfully, it should be noted as well. It is also implied in the neutral ending (the one where Dario is killed without killing Aguni). | |

Even after forcing Arikado away, his condition only continues to get worse until the demons under his dominance burst out of his back, resulting in his death in the process as they come together to form the Final Boss. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Castlevania: Dawn 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. | |

Power-Up Letdown | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_a0f61fe2 | comment |
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. | |

Balance Between Good and Evil | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_a284511d | comment |
Balance Between Good and Evil: Both Arikado and the cultists in appear to believe that the universe requires an embodiment of perfect Evil (whether that be Dracula, Soma as Dracula's reincarnation, or someone else) in order for God to embody perfect Good. 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. | |

Infinity +1 Sword: Dawn of Sorrow had a great balance with the weapons and souls, but the three weapons that stand out as the best weapons are the Claimh Solais, Death's Scythe, and the Valmanway. | |

Already Undone for You: Justified. Julius is running ahead of Soma, yet Soma still has to fight the bosses. Turns out Julius can't use Seals for some reason and only killed them for long enough in order to leave before they could regenerate. Soma isn't too convinced, as it is impossible for the player to leave a boss room until the enemy is dead and sealed. | |

Took a Shortcut: Early on, Julius leaps over a drawbridge in order to enter the castle, leaving Yoko and Soma behind. Later you find out there was a switch right there to lower the bridge and he didn't have the decency of pushing it. You then come across him having trouble fighting Dario. Julius comments he had been able to kill the previous bosses despite not knowing how to use Magic Seals. Soma understandably thinks that makes no sense. | |

Internal Homage | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_b545453b | comment |
Internal Homage: Fittingly, the final battle against Dark Lord Soma in Julius Mode 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." | |

Barrage of Bats: Soma Cruz is able to absorb the souls of enemies in the castle and use their abilities since he is the reincarnation of Dracula, lord of the castle. With the soul of the Bat enemy, Soma can release up to three bats (if the player maxes out this ability) that circle behind him and attack enemies. | |

Knight Templar: Celia's cult, With Light. Believing that God Is Good, they reason that in order for God to embody perfect Good, the Dark Lord, embodying perfect Evil, must stand opposite of Him. And since Soma rejected his status as such, Celia's going to offer him up as a sacrifice to create a new one, or failing that, attempt to force his hand. In the ending, Arikado affirms that the cult's way of thinking was right, but that if the world truly needs a Dark Lord, nature will respond of its own accord. | |

With This Herring: Once again, Soma starts with his casual clothes and a knife. It strains Willing Suspension of Disbelief a bit, 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. | |

Lethal Joke Item: Yorick. The novelty of the soul is that it does pitiful damage even compared to the Skeleton soul, its miniscule reach, and the fact that it is required to be kicked in order to deal any real damage. 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. | |

The former no longer multihits, has reduced attack power, and while it has a unique Splash Damage effect that still allows it to hit multiple enemies, the initial hit has reduced range. The latter also has reduced range and power unless leveled up, and even then it doesn't quite have the same destructive power it did in the previous game. The Luck stat is severely nerfed, reducing its effectiveness greatly. | |

| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_eb4ee9eb | comment |
Guns Are Worthless: Averted, 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. | |

Jerkass: Dario. Just before you first fight him, it seems he's genuinely angry with Soma for killing off his comrade... and then brushes it off when Soma tries to apologize, claiming he just wanted to do it himself. | |

Dwindling Party | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_ed68bcc9 | comment |
Dwindling Party: Despite the reputations of the supporting cast, this happens in a non-lethal sense over the course of Aria and this game, aside from Julius Mode itself. 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. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: The Puppet Master. One of the first bosses to punish you heavily for the "Just beat him 'til he dies" strategy. If you don't destroy the puppets he uses to switch places with you, you're never gonna stand a chance. Once you figure out how he works, he easily becomes a Warm Up, though. | |

Phlebotinum Overload | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_f672a508 | comment |
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. | |

Love Makes You Evil | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_f788b2c5 | comment |
Love Makes You Evil: Soma has this problem. Subverted with the ending, 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. | |

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: The Abyss. It's long and has a map screen separate from all of the previous areas in the game. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| Castlevania: Dawn 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.) 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. | |

Item Crafting | |
| Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Video Game) / int_ff34c05a | comment |
Item Crafting: Yoko's primary gameplay role is to fuse souls you're willing to part with with weapons to create upgraded weapons. 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. | |
