when i played this as a kid for the first time at my friends house, we FINALLY after a long ass time beat Death and made it to Dracula... when we knocked his head off we were like YEAHHH!!! WE BEAT HIM... then when he turned into that second form we were freaked out and scared as shit! Needless to say it was fun summer lol
@Suiton1 yeah I figured that out about 10 mins after I posted that. It also took me a while to realize you have to hit the second form in the head too. But, in case you were wondering I did beat him, twice now actually, and am moving on to Metroid.
Not really, you just need have enough bars to get hit once by his second form, you then land the last hit on the first form when he is at either corners, he'll keep jumping you keep back tracking to the other side, then either get hit and cross to the other side and repeat, or go under his high jump.
What you said is more than true for Death though.
For the first form, you want to jump immediately AFTER he opens his cloak and whip him in the head. You can't jump before he opens the cloak or he'll aim the fireballs up to where you'll be, so you need to jump after that. Just hit him while you're in midair, rinse, and repeat.
Not a very forgiving boss... You have to hit hit 48 times (16 first form, 32 second form) to kill him and he only has to hit you 4. I've beaten him quite a few times, but never on the first try.
...Whaaaa? You just no-hit Dracula. You seriously just no-hit Dracula. Clearly, you are much better at that fight than I am. I swear he's programmed to teleport directly into you in this game.
A clever joke! Loved it! An homage to the classic Univesal Pictures Movie Monster Movie Actors - Bela Lugosi, Lon Cheney, Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee (Dracula). In Castlevania 3 they have Alucard, son of Dracula (Dracula spelled backwards) a character from the 40's film "Son of Dracula"
For an era that had laughable in-game dialogue/voice acting in many of its games, SOtN's in-game dialogue was great. Or was that quote from even before SOtN?
this last boss is hard as hell, even if you know how to beat him.
i,ve played this game for the first time 10 years back and reached grim reaper but even that boss is hard as hell,even today i,ve,nt reached level 6,alltrough i dit beated grimreaper once, but i died duo his last circle wich hitted me in the ass!!!!!!!!

When I'm throwing the holy water I can't throw another until the flam runs out on the last one you threw. Why is it that you can and how can I do it?
lilbshull 1 year ago
@lilbshull Because I have 'Double Throw' (the roman numerals to the right of the hearts).
Double Throw, and Triple Throw, reduces the delay time between each sub-weapon use.

Holy Water, aka the best side weapon in the game, which also happens to have the ability to freeze enemies for milliseconds.
The box on the top center displays the current side weapon.

Funny things to note:
"Time out Dracula, I gotta get some more hearts" *repeat a couple of times*
Dracula's head starts from a couple of blocks in the ground.
and lol holy water spam.

can someone tell me why does the stair at 1:40 looks exactly like the one in SOTN? is this the same castle?
sorarocks92 3 years ago
Clock Tower --> Stairs --> Dracula's Castle.
To my knowledge that's the classical pathway to Dracula in many of the Castlevania titles, such as SOTN.

you are correct
9/10th of the time the stairways are always there before dracula
