A complete walkthrough for the Underground Reservoir in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, detailing item locations, enemy strategies, and soul farming.
Walkthrough
- 1Head down through the starting area, defeating weak enemies and collecting the Pendant at the bottom.
- 2Proceed through the right opening. Equip the Undine soul to walk on water. Follow the path upwards, defeating Mermen to obtain the Elfin Robe.
- 3Return to the previous room and head right. Collect the Tasty Meat. Equip the Skula soul to descend into the water.
- 4Continue downwards, defeating needles. At the bottom, head left. Encounter the MAN-EATER enemy.
- 5To the left of the Man-Eater, defeat needles to find Rahab's Sword. This is also a good spot to farm the Man-Eater's soul (Ripple Laser).
- 6Head right and take the upper right path into a vertical room. Descend, avoiding Cagnazzo (who can curse) and Ukoback (who sets fires).
- 7Continue down to find another Cagnazzo and a SAVE ROOM on the right. Save your game. This is an ideal location to farm Cagnazzo's soul (punches enemies) and Ukoback's soul (sets fires in mid-air).
- 8From the save room, head down and enter the left opening. Defeat the Giant Worm (gradually restores HP when motionless) and farm its soul.
- 9Exit back to the vertical room. Wait for an Ukoback to appear past the exit and defeat it to farm its soul. Alternatively, use lightning to defeat the Ukoback and Cagnazzo to the right, then defeat the rising Ukoback.
- 10Go to the bottom of the vertical room and fall through the southern hole. Slide right to find the Mana Prism.
- 11Go back up and enter the right room. Encounter the NIGHTMARE enemy (summons nightmares as weapons). Farm its soul here.
- 12Fight past the une, worm, and second nightmare to the room on the right. This large room contains mermen and the poisonous SLIME enemy.
- 13Fight upwards through the large room, avoiding slimes. At the top, defeat two disk armors and take the top right exit.
- 14Enter the next room to find the BIG GOLEM (punches enemies). Farm its soul here. Continue right past a bomb armor and a slime to find another SAVE ROOM.
- 15From this save room, you can repeatedly defeat the slime outside for its soul (hurls slimeballs) and the Big Golem for its soul.
- 16Head upwards from the save room. Enter a room on the right to see a fish out of water. Enter the top left room, then go left again to a split path.
- 17Take the left path, past needles, into a large room. Here you will encounter FISH HEAD (underwater bone heads) and TRITON enemies.
