This game is a perfect 10 on music , but in dificult NO. Too easy. I get in the morning of a saturrday and at the evening i was in this stage. I was this good casue i play a lot castlevania 3 wichi is a lot harder cause belmont only have 2 vector of atack, here in this game belmont has 8 but the enemies only have 1 or 2 and the whip is too powerfull for this game. After finish the game keep playing and will see more challenge than spected. skull head,more damage to you from any one.
Oh man! This music! Brings back so many memories. I remember shattering my way through the first two bosses of the final confrontation, and I'm like, "Where's Death??!"
Then... as I move on, here comes the joining shadows, and there he is! Kicked my ass, lol. Only the true adventurers of this game will fight Death the non-cheesy way and actually throw down with him.

Reminds me of the first time I played through this part. I beat Deah on my first try. After I got a game over thanks to Dracula I tried again and couldn't beat Deah in like 30 tries.
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as the Castlevania series. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
Anyone remember the best part of the whole game? After about a zillion deaths, you finally beat the grim reaper. He shatters before your eyes, the music stops - and you go up the stairs, where the torches lighten themselves, the epic tune starts, and you know that now is the time to finally face Dracula.
I still shit my fuck when I think of this moment.
No, of course its optional to pick up the extra health. My point is that it feels less like a terrifying adrenaline rush with all that food lying around
Everything about the gauntlet is ethereally infernal and alluringly beautiful at the same time. Stories high off of the ground, you enter Dracula's Keep, and first off, his suite, with windows peering out into the horizon, the sun about to rise, like if it was looking into heaven. Then, you get to the balcony, where the moon hangs in the distance like a painting. But it's not over yet. Then, the third floor, into the dark depths above, where Death waits.
@bluedarknut i beat two remaining bosses on my first try,but then it took me like 20 tries to make a strategy on dracula...now ive beaten the game with no walkthroughs and im so proud of myself xD
well by god, I never would have Imagined that this track would be called "the room of close associates." how cool. I remember playing this eons ago. I was fucking amazed and elated (as a timpanist) that there could be timpani sounds in video games all of a sudden
Interesting title, room of close associates. So it seems Slogra and Gaibon are up there with Death in evil rank. Demons brought straight from hell to fight against Simon. So cool.
I didn't find Death hard at all, considering you can swing your whip to block the little scythes. I thought it was easy as hell compared to Castlevania 1
Sounds so eerily Satanic. But then agin, that's what Castlevania music should sound like, a hapischord playing madly to send a chill to your spine while you fight off a skeleton wielding a spear/gun, a gargoyle, and Death itself.
seriously though i fount death not so hard. Dracula is harder than him. C i just stay in the same spot u enter in and jump and whipped up. That vortez scyhte trowing thing cant hit u if you stand there, and destorying those small styhes was easy and it only took 2 trys to kill him while the first i played the game, it took 10 tries not in the same spot so yea.
I always fought the Grim Reaper moving around. Standing still in one place the whole time wasn't fun at all. But yeah, there was an easier though slower way of beating him. Gaibon I think was pretty easy. I beat him the first time I fought him. Slogra was tough in the beggining, but he has the same moves. After you destroyed his staff (fairly easy, you had to duck all the time), you had to whip him from a distance, run to the other side of the room, whip him again, run to the other side. Repeat.
@Nack289 Death has ALWAYS been harder than Dracula - i remember back on the original NES version, i NEVER thought i was going to beat that fucker and his bullshit scythes.....
you can't cheat/escape death so yeah I can see why that is! man I hated fighting that bastard. killed him once, only to have one of his scythes double back and kill me in the processes
from 0:48 to 1:11 is Fucking EPIC! the most awesome part is 0:56 THAT gives me the frigging Chills!! every time i hear that section i can remember and see Death throwing me that scythe.
the drums of this game are something amazingly epic
@ringthatkill LOL same thoughts, when I first played this I was like "oh shit I really don't like the music here." Then all of a sudden I'm fighting three different bosses not to mention the part with the falling stairs and veritcally moving screen before the boss fights. Then just when you thought you had enough after defeating Death himself you see the same set of stairs in every classic CV game by then you would know what's next.
the starting of this track sounds like that old melodrama silent movie music, You know, the guy in a black top hat and cape tying the damsel to the railroad tracks
Slogra, a brillaintly diabolical creation requiring careful strategy. If you don't keep your distance after shattering his staff you'll always take an excess amount of damage. I would know from embaressing experience, in one instance I managed to perish x6 times.
However in these days the abundance of drumsticks is particularly annoying, nowhere near as brutally demanding as the NES counterparts.
The most intense moment in the game. Facing the last bosses, one after another. When I was about 8, I hated seeing my older brother (15) take them down, and when it was my turn, was a disaster. A few years later, I finally managed to defeat them.
I tried to throw the axe at Death and it keeps disappearing before it reaches him or even before I throw it. Guess that's a downfall for using items against the Grim Reaper. His powers banishes them. And yeah, Dracula isn't that hard. Death is harder.
Such fitting music, especially considering that you face the most inevitable boss of all: Death! If you didn't die after battling two bosses in a row...well, you may just die when you face death.
This and symphony have the most fitting soundtracks out of the games. Not to say that the others are bad at all, I just really feel like the music always matched the moment and area for those two in the series.
Man, I remember being excited and nervous when I finally made it to that place. This is still one of the best games I have ever played and nothing will change that.
its amazing that every song in old school snes and megadrive games always seem to fit the scene/level perfectly.
these days alot of people listen to their cd's while playing a game... back then you wouldnt need to, because the music is too awesome, and adds to the overal gamin experience. \m/
Has this never been orchestrated or played back by a band? So many themes have their modern counterpart, this one is more than worthy too I find! Awesome music!
I always thought of Slogra's room as a library, an evil arcane library with all the secrets you never were meant to know. As differentiated from the regular library in level 7. I don't know why I thought this, maybe the museam misenscene with Slogra being sorta a dinosaur.
Then Gaibon fights you in a bell tower observatory, and then Death fights you in a select dinner theatre. Select because, who would be welcome for a show and drinks at a place so high in the castle? Hinted by the tables
For me, this might be a suprise, Slogra was the easiest of the three. :/ I died at Slogra twice, died at Gaibon four times, and died at Death (XD) 10 times!
I can't figure out why everyone is saying Death is so hard to beat -- staying on the left side of the room for most of the battle always guaranteed a win for me. It was always Slogra that kicked my ass. There's just not enough time or room to maneuver with that thing.
Yeah, he's been called both over the series. I just think in general it's more hilarious to include 'Death' in casual commentary. "Yeah, I dodged Death with a backwards leap and a shot with my whip."
Staying on the left side of the room behind those blocks and timing your attack makes him so easy it robs the fun and challenge of it. But if you fight him straight up he is tough.
If you mean Death, then yes, you're right. I beat him without using the blocks, which was hard. And using the blocks makes it too easy and not challenging.
This is against Death then right? I remember thinking that for Death to only take away HP seemed limited. It's like it should directly take your soul away or something lol. Beyond removing HP.
The Grim Reaper (a.k.a.) Death always has been the hardest boss in Castlevania. Castlevanias 1 through 4 for sure. Also very creepy and scary... I don't think slogra was that difficult... Just my opinion. He was fast, but if you got used to his moves, you could beat him easily. This song still gets to me and the Grim Reaper made some creepy sounds as well. Awesome.
As a drummer myself I listen alot closer 2 the drums then others. I must say the drums in Castle4 are great especialy on this track. I cant wait till I get good enought 2 play this on my electric kit. Im suprised no one has posted something like that. I think it would be badass. Vadrum did it with Mario Bro on a real kit and he is amazing. Check his shit out, you will not be let down.
THIS made me fight for the next level, which I found out that this was it!!!!! No turning back from the regular levels.... Live or die in a world of vampire hunters
One of my favorite boss themes in the whole castlevania series

I can't figure out why everyone is saying Death is so hard to beat -- staying on the left side of the room for most of the battle always guaranteed a win for me. It was always Slogra that kicked my ass. There's just not enough time or room to maneuver with that thing.

Who's death? Is he's the Grim Reaper?
Vf5rules 2 years ago
Yeah, he's been called both over the series. I just think in general it's more hilarious to include 'Death' in casual commentary. "Yeah, I dodged Death with a backwards leap and a shot with my whip."

Hahaha man, I never thought of it that way, in fact I call him "the Death" but that was awesome. I couldn't stop laughing. : )

I don't remember any of them being hard at all.

Staying on the left side of the room behind those blocks and timing your attack makes him so easy it robs the fun and challenge of it. But if you fight him straight up he is tough.
WTL1193 2 years ago
It's tough 'fighting him straight up' because all fights are harder when you don't use any strategy in them. No mystery there.

If you mean Death, then yes, you're right. I beat him without using the blocks, which was hard. And using the blocks makes it too easy and not challenging.

This is against Death then right? I remember thinking that for Death to only take away HP seemed limited. It's like it should directly take your soul away or something lol. Beyond removing HP.

The Grim Reaper (a.k.a.) Death always has been the hardest boss in Castlevania. Castlevanias 1 through 4 for sure. Also very creepy and scary... I don't think slogra was that difficult... Just my opinion. He was fast, but if you got used to his moves, you could beat him easily. This song still gets to me and the Grim Reaper made some creepy sounds as well. Awesome.

As a drummer myself I listen alot closer 2 the drums then others. I must say the drums in Castle4 are great especialy on this track. I cant wait till I get good enought 2 play this on my electric kit. Im suprised no one has posted something like that. I think it would be badass. Vadrum did it with Mario Bro on a real kit and he is amazing. Check his shit out, you will not be let down.
