Navigate Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow's Wizardry Lab

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's tackle the Wizardry Lab in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow! It's one of the earlier areas, but it's got a few tricky bits and some useful pickups.

Walkthrough

1
You'll start in a room with Ghosts that just keep spawning. Just deal with them as best you can while you drop down through the entrance. You'll land on a small platform.
2
On this landing, grab the Mind Up from the left side. The room just behind it is actually a save point, so if you need to save, head back there. Otherwise, take the door on the right.
3
Next up is a Bomber Armor. Be careful when it throws bombs – just make sure you're not standing where the explosion will hit. Once it's down, keep moving.
4
You'll encounter a Slime. Just kill it quickly before it gets too close. After that, you'll need to hop across a gap.
5
As you cross the gap, you'll find a Blunt Sword. Nice, right? Continue down through this room.
6
In the bottom right corner, there's a treasure chest. Give it a whack with your weapon to open it. Now, you'll need to backtrack to the room you were in just before the Bomber Armor.
7
Head back down from that room and take the door at the very bottom.
8
This next area has Skeletons and a Skull Archer. I find sliding (down + B) is a good way to get through them quickly. You'll also see a Student Witch; if you hit her while she's trying to fly, she'll fall, which is kind of funny to watch. Keep going through the room.
9
In the following room, drop down a few levels. Look for the first right turn you can take. Pro Tip: Before you take that right, you might want to go all the way to the bottom of this shaft, take a left, and grab the Scarf if you don't already have one.
10
After taking that right turn, you'll enter a room with Manticores. These guys have the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion, so watch out for that tail attack! Once you've dealt with them, go all the way to the right.
11
In the next room, take your first right. This leads to a warp room. The game will explain how warps work here. To get to the Lost Village quickly, warp there (press up, then left).

Tips

Don't forget that save point behind the Mind Up pickup early on!
The Bomber Armor's bombs have a clear blast radius, so just keep moving to avoid them.
Sliding can get you through groups of weaker enemies pretty quickly.
The Scarf is a good pickup if you see it, especially if you're struggling with status effects.
