Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow/Clock Tower

When you arrive from the floating gardens, you will appear in the top-right corner of the tower.

The clock tower is mostly composed of small vertical rooms filled with gears, platforms, and spiky walls.

Boss: Death
On the first phase, death uses the following attacks:
 * There will be a continuous appearance of small scythes that will fly towards you.
 * The scythe will start spinning quickly, and approach you.
 * Death will try hitting you with vertical beams, which are dodged simply by moving.

When you inflict enough damage on this scythe, Death will fight you himself, and use the following attacks:
 * Death will float to about your level, and make a charging attack with his double scythe. Either jump over him or duck the attack.
 * Death will throw the scythe at you. Duck under it.
 * Death will release the scythe, having it spin along the ceiling to the right. It will then come charging towards you on the ground - double jump over it.

Once Death is defeated, he will be pulled into the vortex, but the double scythe will still dangerous until it falls off the screen.

Continue left to collect the Scula soul, which allows you to walk underwater.

Exiting the tower
The fastest exit to the Castle Corridor is located at the bottom of the tower, which was previously blocked by water. Get there by returning to the bottom floor, and optionally saving the game at the nearby save point.

Stand on the wooden floor to cause it to collapse, and swim downward. If you want to collect bonus items (which may be dangerous), take a left. You can either get a pitch black suit by travelling across a few rooms, or the Burtgang by swinging across some pendulums.

While there is an exit to the Top Floor, it must be opened from the other side first.
