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 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.

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. =)
