The bosses become easy when you learn their attack patterns. So...there isn't much difficulty unless you fight Graham, Belmont, and that tree guy. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow is a very good game. I like the Soul System and the Metroid power-up style of the game. If they continue the series, I will rate each of them a 10+++! For those who don't want to look around to much in walkthroughs: Mid-air Kick is available only when you beat a kicking skeleton. When playing Julius, fight all the bosses in order.( He gets stronger after each boss fight is what I believe.) The best sword is one of the dragon swords. The one in the shop is about 12,000 gold.(You can find the other one, which is bigger, in the arena.) Secret to beating Graham easily: Destroy the floating circle first, then dogde the hands and just wail on the moron. What irritates me is that you can be hit multiple times while in air. Example: Being uppercut by golem and slashed by a Minotaur's axe. It's best not to rush through the game, otherwise you will miss some good power-ups that you will need in order to keep moving foward and beating boss rush. Chaos is a very easy boss, you just have to time your movements and attacks. Make sure to have these souls equiped during the fight against Graham. Flame Demon, Succubus, and Giant Bat. Enjoy the game!
