Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow Cheats

Once you get to the Floating Garden, you can use the Gorgons to reach the Arena instantly. First, go up the first elevator you see. Then, head up all the way until you see the Red Crow sitting on the staircase--there should be a Gorgon to the right of it. Stand on the very back of the Gorgon and have it walk towards the pillar. Once it hits the pillar and starts turning, run towards the pillar and, if you did it right, you should see Soma crouched in the wall and rapidly moving upwards. You should land in a room of The Arena right under a Dead Crusader.

Note: This glitch also works with any other Gorgon or Catoblepas if they run into a wall at some point and turn around.

Go to the teleport room right next to the arena, then head left, go up as soon as possible(on your map it will be two blocks left of the teleport room). After you go up, go left as soon as possible(it will be two blocks above where you just went up.

Now you will be three blocks left and two blocks up of the teleport room. This hall contains two red minotaurs, a werejaguar, and a killer mantle. Go back and forth across the hall until you get a killer mantle soul. Equip it, it will kill red minotaurs in a single strike, and they give 1000 exp per kill. I can rack up over 6000 exp a minute doing this.

Ok, before you get excited, there is one requirement to do this. The Sherman Ring. It gives you experience points as you walk. This ring can be found in the dance hall (you must have some way to get up through holes in the ceiling such asgiant bat soul or super jump ability). I'll leave finding that to you. On to the trick.

1. Equip the Sherman Ring.

2. Find a safe spot with no monsters.

3. Pin down the duck button, and either the move left or move right directional button.

4. Voila. You have fooled the game into thinking you are walking, when you are just sitting in one spot safe and sound. Now go to sleep or something and let the experience roll in.

Why do it this way? Because if you just try to hold the run button down against a wall, you will not get experience points even though Soma is running.
