Hey folks! Welcome to my Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow Item FAQ. It's been a year

process. Now he's ready to take up the fight yet again, and there's a whole
slew of items available for him to use. Upgradeable weapons, armor, health
replenishments, you name it! Here's a little list of items that he can use to
wipe evil scum off the face of the Earth. Hope it'll make some difference as
you embark on this latest quest in the Castlevania series.

6) Secret Items
-----------------
Name How/Where to Find
________________________________________________________________________________
Bell Obtain the Hippogriff Soul in The Abyss. Return to the bell
Room in the Dark Chapel. Use the Hippogriff Soul to super jump
into the large bell on the far left.
Crown Go to the long vertical section of the Demon Guest House.
Go into the small room that is above the Save Room. There
Should be nothing but a Waiter Skeleton and a large chair
inside. After the Waiter Skeleton is gone, go to the front
of the chair and press up on the D-Pad to sit in it. After a
moment, a large crown will appear, a la old school
Castlevania. It's worth 5000 points, but sells for half.
Konami Man Go to the Cursed Clock Tower. Look for a square room almost
entirely bordered with spikes, and has a single Slime and
Tanjelly guarding it. Go to the small section in the middle
That isn't covered by spikes, then crouch down. After a moment
Konami Man will fly across the screen.

IV. Conclusion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well folks, there it is. A complete list of weapons, armor, and items to be
found in the game, complete with their stat effects. Who'd of thought all of
this stuff would be featured in only one Castlevania game? Anyway, all of these
items are just waiting to be found and used against your hapless undead foes. I
hope this guide helps you, as figuring out different and effective combinations
of items can prove a tad difficult. I hope you enjoyed looking through this,
with that CTRL F command right there at your fingertips. In the meantime, keep
that DS fully charged, and may your gaming sessions be long and enjoyable.
