i use the acturbus bullet(u know the glyph u get from him) and the INT boost. it works really well but scince i cant doge like most of his attacks and i havent unlocked high potions yet im ganna be faceing him for many hours
Albus and Dracula are the only REAL boss's that gave me any trouble after getting potions. Also Since when you are Albus in my opinion you kick more ass. Albus gets my vote for second best castlevania char. The top being Soma and his hard core abilities in one. (not played two)
my hardest bss that i hd trouble with was goliath. i mean, that punch attack is un dodgeable. now, i got thru the frickin white fomars,a dn leatherfaces, then i haev to face albu-dracula?!
if you mean the sonic punch you have to crouch in front of him as he is walking then he goes right past you. You mean the jump well you walk under him.
best castlevania boss music ever....im serious about that (i believe the best to be that rare one you hear in Dawn of Sorrow, fighting that flame dude)
if uwanna beat him with NO dmg there is alway my jester like way... try to stay behind him all the time. if he faces you then quickly jump, and make an air stom on his head, making you land beehind him after that. when he uses his glyph, make sure to get behind him and use Vol Umbra all the time(don't stand too close behind him, or you'll miss with umbra)
Can someone please tell me where the villagers are? I need two more one of them is anna the other im not sure. I would really apreciate it if any one were to help me out.
Since Albus's attacks only hit in front you just have to get behind him. Just because of the way he positions himself before he attacks, you could just either slide a couple of times to get behind him before he attacks or just run and jump over him. Both ways work. I find it more entertaining to jump over him though... xD
I found the best way to beat him, really, was to steal his Glyph and then use it against him. He is weak to Dark but does not resist Light (Which means, postgame, you can use Nitesco on his ass.)
he hits you dude... what a shame... its easier if you just use vol hasta on both hands and just slide to his back and then start attacking, but never get close to him because he will kick you the hell out...
yeah, you can play as albus, but you have to rescue all the villagers...it took me a while but i finally did it myself, also you can unlock boss rush mode, and sound mode!
Sloppy way of killing Albus. Equip the best Rapier Glyph and keep following him behind. Jump over him when he shoots/kicks/laughs and just slash at him. Easy medal.
Oh lol, I completely missed that...well I am gonna be playing the game a second time around just to try and master certain bosses and what not, guess I'll get it then.
Well, I also heard him say "vertical shot", but when you play as him, he says optical shot and on sound test he sasy both optical shot and vertical shot too.
I got the bad ending too the first time. (Forgot about the villagers, lol). I used Vol Umbra here too, but actually dual wielding Arcus with an Archer Ring equipped works really well too.
This is the "turn-point" of the game. Before this, the game is so-so: Rescuing the villagers and doing the quests is great, but it has mediocre music, linear stages, no interest story... but from this battle on, the game blows you away! It is amazingly good, I was shocked... REALLY! The "reserved" the best music and stages for the last half o the game. The story also transforms completely with an amazing plot twist (probably the best I've seen in a Castlevania game).
Dunno I think the music for the most part is pretty consistent throughout the entire game...Story is a bit slow paced at first, but of course its because it all leads up to this battle, and Konami wanted to take a step back and make the game slightly linear (as they had this whole Castleroid thing going for the past decade and a half or so)
jumping isn't really that smart when fighting albus because when u jump, he uses this fire kick move that's really hard to dodge when u're in mid-air. =P
The end of dark room with floating moving spikes, which is very close to the place you fight Albus. As soon as you approach mines, go left instead of right.
Just before the gate to Albus' room there's a west entrance leading to a dark room full of moving spike platforms. if you make it to the end you can absorb umbra glyph
Im so stuck after when i kill albus :X for some reason he barlowe took me to the "forbbidon room"(I know I spelled it wrong) then he says something about union of the glyphs, what am I suppose to do here? I tried do somthing with "Dominus" but all it does is kill me or lower my hp till I die, Any Ideas what im doing wrong? or what Am I suppose to do in the first place?
Ah...I noticed that this whole scenario with Albus is almost similar to Maxim In Dissonace. Being controlled by Draculas power and having to do something to save him then kill him. they also look similar.
I just was so sad when he died and shouted out :"Shanoaaa..."
Albus is the best char in the Game.
