Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow/Chapel

The chapel is located on the eastern portion of the map. It has exits to the ../Castle Corridor/ and the ../Study/. To fully explore the area, you will need the double jump ability. There is also a teleporter that you can use to quickly reach the entrance.

When you first enter the area, you will need to head all the way to the right, and head to the bottom. The first left-hand path leads to a save point, while the bottom exit leads to the boss.

The manticore has two attacks. The first causes the tail to shake slightly then swing forward - this causes the poison attribute, which reduces the strength of your attacks. It can also breathe fire, which is dodged by jumping. If you have an attack that can hit the body and tail, that attack will to extra damage. Otherwise, simply attack and dodge as necessary.

When it is defeated, proceed to the left, and head downward to the ../Study/

Further exploration
Once you get a double jump ability, you can head to the teleport at the top-left corner of this section. This allows you to warp quickly back to the store that also opened up.
