Hopelessly stuck in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.

[SilverPaw750]

Okay, I think I've explored every nook and cranny of both castles trying to figure out where the fuck I'm supposed to go next, only to be thwarted by tons of arbitrarily locked/sealed doors. I've already invested an hour and a half of play time trying at random various sectors of the map, and it's starting to get frustrating.

Here's where I'm at:
-The last boss I beat was Shadow
And this is my relics screen:
Lizard Tail
Sylph Feather
??????
Soul Orb
Fairy Journal
Monster Tome
??????
Heart of Vlad
??????
Nail of Vlad
Fang of Vlad
??????


Here are the best pictures I could take of my mapscreens:

ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

It's been so long that it all looks so foreign to me. And that's good news. I think that means it's time to pick it up again.

Figured it out. Apparently I had to equip some bracelet to open the magically locked doors. How the hell was I supposed to figure that one out? The description for the bracelet says nothing about the function.

Yeah, I had to cheat for that too. My only guess is that since it's from Maxim that you're supposed to wear it because you're his friend or something. o_O

Thats a tough one to figure out on your own. I think I went to Gamefaqs when I hit that hurdle.

btw, I also use the top screen on my DSlite to play GBA games. =)

And there's a second one?
