Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

But hey, is it me, or does the Pistol suck?
Yes the pistol sucks. It's mostly for novelty purposes if you ask me. Though the positron rifle is pretty cool.
You need 2 different souls equipped to get past the waterfall.
1) Curly. This will turn you into the monster curly... and you will be able to charge quickly forwards....yeah.
2) Undine, so that you will stay on the water surface
Now, stand as far left as you can (about where you enter this place), turn into Curly and charge away... you will pass the waterfall.
Edit- I believe Curly is in the Dance Hall area... not sure though.
Oh well, guess I'll try again.

You have to charge, and gain a lot of speed before being able to actually break through the waterfall. I don't remember if you need a third soul for the speed... it was a while ago since I did this... You need to start charging right about where the Curly-carving is on the other side.
Also, I have 98.8% of the map, where is the rest, darnit?! I have the peeping eye soul, but I can't seem to find anything else.
Also, I'm missing one enemy on my list. It's #80, and I have no idea how I missed it, unless it's hard to find like Tsuchinoko. I only found that one by luck alone. And I thought using the Excalibur would be great, but I just found that it sucks. I finished Boss Rush for the first time, and my time was 5:00:50. Would I have gotten something else I beat in one less half-second?
And I can sort of help with the secret rooms. There's two in the Dance Hall. I just started a new game, so I don't have the exact locations. Anyway, one of them is in the room in which you must slide under the low wall to get to the Inner Quarters. It's on the roof, so you have to use the Giant Bat soul or do a high jump. And if I'm not mistaken, there is also a breakable wall in the first room of the Inner Quarters right next to the room mentioned above. The second one in the Dance Hall is in a small room with a Minotaur. It's not too hard to find.
There is also a breakable wall at the bottom of a staircase, located directly after the room in which you battle the Creaking Skull as a boss.There's one in the Top Floor, but I couldn't remember it for my life, so good luck. Also as Rico said, there's a breakable wall where you find the Claimh Solais. I'm sure there are more, but I can't exactly remember.
10/10 Wonderful. Not only the best Castlevania game since Symphony, but one of the best games in five years, period. But maybe I'm just a little too obsessed with Castlevania...
Head hunter gives you larger stat bonuses for having collected more souls. Souls collected multiple times count towards it too. I think it's +1 to every stat for every 16 souls or so. It can end up being a pretty darned powerful boost, if you've got lots of souls.

Just wait for Castlevania: Lament of Innocence come November. I saw the trailer from E3 it looked awesome. That's going to be another tight game, but that's for psx2. I'll occupy myself with AOS till then, hehe.
I ordered Circle of the Moon from buy.com and Harmony of Dissonance from eb.com at the start of this summer roughly late June and I still haven't got it. I should probably e-mail or call them up to find out what the wait is. I know its an older rare GBA game to get a hold of.
