Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, how in the heck do I get in this area?
 

I've checked there, I don't see anything about how to get in those areas. It looks like there are openings there but I don't see any. This is driving me up the fucking wall.

To get to that area, you have to approach it from the bottom up, you can't reach from the top down...hope that kinda helps

I believe you need to go through the water tunnel thats lined with spikes on the bottom, its pretty tricky to get through, I'm still not sure how I did it.

opens from the bottom doesn't it? I don't recall it being particularly difficult, but remember thinking it was kinda cool (it's under a water fountain and the fountain crumbles).

Yeah, you "unlock it" by coming up through it, not going down.

I finally figured it out. Now how many times do I have to do that stupid magic seal before the grim reaper finally dies.
