Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (2003) - Unlockables and Tips
• Good ending: when Soma fights Graham, keep Mina's Talisman equipped to resist Chaos's influence and unlock the fight against Chaos instead of the bad ending.
• Julius Mode: beat the game once to unlock Julius Belmont as a playable character, complete with his whip, dashes and subweapons.
• Hard Mode: finish the game to unlock Hard difficulty for the next playthrough.
• Boss Rush Mode: completing the game unlocks Boss Rush; each clear rewards valuable items (like powerful weapons) depending on your time.
• New Game+: start a new game keeping your collected souls, making it much easier to complete the soul collection and reach the good ending.
• Practical souls: the Malphas soul gives a double jump, the Skula soul lets you swim underwater, and the Giant Bat or curative souls are very useful in tough areas.
• Boss Rush tip: practice dodging and use healing souls between waves.
• The Chaotic Realm is accessible from the Harajuku crack; use it to return quickly.
• Tip: save often in save rooms and keep potions ready for Graham and the final battle.
