To work toward 100% map completion in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, revisit areas you could not reach before unlocking traversal abilities. The draft identifies the Skula Soul for underwater movement and the Hippogryph Soul for a double jump. After acquiring them, check unfinished map areas and backtrack to routes those abilities may open.
Check unfinished areas and backtrack
Use the in-game map to spot rooms or connections that still need exploration. When a route appears blocked, make a note of it and return after gaining a relevant traversal ability.
The castle is interconnected, so a route you cannot reach now may become accessible later. Rather than repeatedly searching the same area, focus on the visible gaps in your map and revisit earlier sections after unlocking mobility options.
Search for hidden passages
If a room or connection remains unexplored, check nearby walls and floors for possible breakable surfaces. The draft suggests trying an attack that covers a wider area or a projectile Soul against suspicious surfaces. These are search suggestions, not a confirmed list of secret-room locations or required attacks.
Prioritize routes you can now reach with your new abilities, then continue checking map gaps.

The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
Good guide for Castlevania players. The strategy part was useful.
