[DS] Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

I bought Dawn of Sorrow today (And I'll get my DS Lite tomorrow, so it's my first DS game), and it will be my first Castlevania since Symphony of The Night. I Just couldn't connect with the GBA-games, dunno why. I'm optimistic for the sequel, it may be like the older games, but it's a strong concept that many fans like.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The 1000 Blades got me through Boss Rush

About Stella & Loretta with Sanctuary:

Spoiler:

I've read about this and was expecting hell, but on the second try of this fight it actually ended in a matter of seconds. What I did was, I positioned Charlotte near the entrance, and made her cast Sanctuary, I then positioned Jonathan in front of her and used the Stonewall technique. One of the sisters started using that Ice wolf-thingy-attack, and I Just stood there with stonewall in front of charlotte. Except, none of her wolves hit any of us. After some seconds, sanctuary was cast. Battle was over. Yay.

.. And then I took on Whip's Memory. Oh hell, I die in like three attacks from him D:

Any good tactics? Recommended levels? I'm lvl.27 at the moment.

How ya doing, buddy?

I guess I have to set sails and quest for the stupid

Spoiler:

Holy mail

and the stupid

Spoiler:

Cream pie

Because

Spoiler:

Right now, he is impossible. 3 hits from him, and I'm down. Yahoo, I made 350 damage to him.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Spoiler:

Where do I find this Holy Mail?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Spoiler:

Actually, I do have the shuriken mastered and maxed out. I think I'll try him on again laters.

EDIT:

Spoiler:

OH MY FRICKIN SHIT. I just beat him extremely fast, only using the shurikens. The thing is, for some reason I thought you couldn't use items (potions). Bah
Thanks for the help Tenkai Star

I was speaking idiomatically.
