Follow our detailed walkthrough for Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow's 'Top Floor' section, detailing enemy locations, item pickups, and hidden rooms.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the room with clocks, use Giant Bat to fly up. Defeat the Succubus, Gargoyle, and Erinys. Go left up the stairs and into the room above.
  2. 2
    In the next room, defeat the FINAL GUARD to obtain Satan's Ring. Note that another Final Guard is in the adjacent room to the left, which can be farmed for its soul (Guards against enemy attacks, 60 MP per tick).
  3. 3
    Head past the Final Guard and up, defeating the Erinys. Go to the top left corner of this room and attack the ceiling to reveal a hidden room containing the Gungner spear.
  4. 4
    Go down and head to the right room. Defeat the Lubicants and the STOLAS (an owl-like enemy that summons Skeleton Knights and Dead Crusaders). This is a good farming spot for the Stolas soul (INT +16).
  5. 5
    Proceed right to the next room. Defeat the two Succubi, Erinys, and Red Minotaur. Head left into a vertical room.
  6. 6
    Kill the Lubicant and check the empty right room. Go down and check the lower right room, which is a WARP ROOM.
  7. 7
    Return to the vertical room and check the next lower right room to find a Super Potion.
  8. 8
    Go back to the vertical room and take the lower left exit. In this room, you'll find a BASILISK and a Final Guard (optional fight for map completion).
  9. 9
    Return to the warp room, heal if needed, then go up and through the upper left exit. Head up to the next room.
  10. 10
    In this room, defeat the Gargoyles and Succubi. A new enemy, the BAEL, is present. Farm the Bael soul (INT +12) by going up the upper path and dropping down next to its spawn point.
  11. 11
    Head up to the next room and take the lower right exit. Hit the ball and chain to destroy the wall, creating a path to the Clock Tower.
  12. 12
    Return to the previous room and go right to find the SAVE ROOM.
  13. 13
    From the save room, go up through the ceiling. Take the left exit to find a room with a BASILISK (good for farming its soul: Defensive strength increases, offensive strength decreases).
  14. 14
    Continue to the end of the Basilisk room and drop through the floor to find the IRON GOLEM (9,999 HP, resistant to all damage). The KILLER MANTLE soul defeats it in one hit. Farm the Iron Golem soul (Withstand a lot of damage without flinching).
  15. 15
    Destroy the right wall in the Iron Golem room to find a hidden room containing a SOUL CANDLE that grants the Hippogryph soul (High Jump by pressing L in mid-air).
  16. 16
    With the Hippogryph soul, explore the large room above the Iron Golem. Find Red Minotaurs and Erinys. In the top left corner is the Kaladbolg sword.
  17. 17
    Explore the rest of the area to find an exit in the ceiling and another to the upper right. Go through the ceiling exit to find yourself below iconic stairs. Defeat Gargoyles and collect a Mana Prism to the left.
  18. 18
    Return to the Save Room to save your progress.
