Dance of Illusions Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles

[AshisogiiJizo]

Not only did they use this epic theme here, but they apparently re-used it in Harmony of Despair. That's some badass shit right there!

[Gunner193]

I gotta say this is more epic and thrilling than the SoTN version. Flame as you will, that doesn't have the sense of urgeny that THIS has.

[Archeon233]

The 4 dislikes were Dracula, Death, Shaft, AND THAT MOTHER FUCKING FLEAMAN!!!

[AkumajoArmando]

@Archeon233 why Dracula would dislike his own epic song?

[Archeon233]

@AkumajoArmando

because he hates everything remember?

[quocdarock]

i liked it much better when richter looked like ryu.

[craigbout]

1:01 Metal Gear Solid: Rex Hangar Theme

It's a reference !!

Who else sees it too ? :P

[MasterHoyt86]

4 miserable little piles of secrets disliked this track.

[jarnovanderwerff]

@MasterHoyt86 true einstein iq right there

[MriCantRead]

Dracula, Death, Shaft and Carmilla disliked this.



[luizpsycho]

hahahaha at 1:00 reminds me metal gear "zoom zoom zoom zoom..." LOL

[Julienfun]

@luizpsycho zoooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­m....*music starts*

[xRocketzFighterx]

I admit this is one of the most epic boss battles I've palyed on my personal 2nd favourite remade game and the only reason why I own a PSP.

this boss battle owns one of the letters that defines the word epic.

[Onerom4728]

3 persons are monsters and dont belong to this world

[nepomusik]

You'd think an almost apocalyptic version of Dance of Illusions like this would be reserved for something like the final Dracula fight in 1999 by Julius Belmont. Here's hoping the next remix of this would be awesome.

[Ukyo83]

@nepomusik

Holy shit dude, i just imagined the scene... got me chills!!!!

[eluu3]

Richter looks like a bad guy at the box

[Tangomoose]

I've discovered something Amazing!

[Shalek]

Damn this version is gooood. 

[omegagamer2]

For some reason I can see apocalyptica doing this or something...

[goji3755]

Any director with half a brain is going to put this in the Castlevania movie. Sadly, directors with even that much are hard to come by.

[deathzero021]

damn what's with YT not posting my posts!?

anyway awesome song, sounds a lot like the song for the serpent boss in stage 1b, or in Legacy of Darkness, the first stage. i'm not sure if they're remixes of each other or what but i always liked the Legacy of Darkness version. for both Dracula and the Serpent.

[deathzero021]

i think the "Curse of Darkness" version is much better. when your fighting that giant pain in the ass serpent thing in the water. hardest boss in the game, even harder than the last Dracula i'd say, only because you can actually buy heals at that point... okay i'm getting offtopic xD

awesome song regardless, for an awesome game.

[deathzero021]

@deathzero021 oops, well now they both go up -_- anyway i meant Legacy of Darkness in this post (corrected by the one above me)

[baronofdoom]

This is the exact same version that is on Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. Recognized it when I first heard it since I also have this game. :)

[GIR177]

@baronofdoom Other way around. This game came first.

[baronofdoom]

@GIR177 Yes, I know, that's what I meant. I recognized this version of the music on Harmony of Despair since I heard it first on Dracula X Chronicles.

[ShakinJamacian]

@baronofdoom I instantly replaced the song the moment I beat Stage 6. I found it to be the worst song in the game, if only for the fact it's the only song directly stolen from another game amongst the games soundtrack. :P

[johndixonkingdom]

gaaaaah every castlevania video has comments about twilight. fuck twilight stop talking about it. this is castlevania not twilight. go bitch about about twilight on the twilight vids not castlevania.

[gngskpow]

Man, this tune gives me goosebumps...or is it the cold weather?

...

......

Nah, it's definitely this music.

[Zeta1011]

Honestly I cannot think of a better song for an epic fight then Dance of Illusions after I've heard it.

[maxetor]

Great :D

[Runazarag]

:D dracula is one of the best bosses ever

[Phalanx2105]

The 3 people who disliked this were Bella, Edward and Jacob.

[horamerda2]

@Phalanx2105 HAHAHAHAHAH lol



[L5Animations]

@Phalanx2105 Ha! Twilight!

A cesspit of glittery, wasted paper!

Fight for it then, and die for its sins!

[CEDELL29]

@Phalanx2105

LMAO

[MajBlood]

I had this song in my mind when I was writing my math final exam. 

[Ufareo]

Dracula should be in Breakin dawn, wat movie with vampires dnt have dracula in it!? DRACULA MASTER OF VAMPIRES !! whould be awesome

[MrMK109]

Hah, mankind. A cesspit of hatred and lies. Fight for them, then, and die for their sins!

[reflexassassin]

what is an song? a miserable pile of notes? no,THIS!!!!!!!!

[Abazigal]

Wine glass attack!

[Charleyx10]

Need sheet music BAD, som 1 plz link =D

[tiriny]

Die monster. You don't belong in this world!

[GmodPlusWoW]

Hellgates open! GRANT ME POWEEEEEEER!

[BluelightSpike]

RICHTER!!!!

Gahter your strenght...

[GSE1916]

Damn, this song never gets old and its epic! I like some Castlevania games that has their own version of this.

[GSE1916]

Dance of Illusions is so epic. I like that some Castlevania games hav their own verions of it.

[kinimarusama]

What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!

But enough talk... Have at you!

NVER GETS OLD

GREAT THEME

[Cyberleader12]

it's epic it only really fits this game though since he has 3 forms in this. It wouldn't work in The original rondo of blood, Symphony of the night, Dracula X or Dawn of Sorrow

[Hemlocke3]

I think they should have a Castlevania where u do that thing in 1999 (I think thats the year) when Julius kills Dracula before Aria of Sorrows. He's suppost to be at his strongest there

[gfskill]

One of theses days, they should make a Castlevania with 3 versions of Dance of Illusions. First form, Monster form and Demon form of Dracula...

[Overblade9]

@gfskill Yeah, but... what's the exact difference between a monster and a demon in terms of appearences? That's a bit confusing, I think.

[gfskill]

Monster form is self explanatory. Demon from is normally like Dracula's Third form or his second form in Dracula X (US)

[scorpula441]

This is very astounding..=)

[bragosng1]

the more epic version of Dance Of Illusions,but not the best....

[DarkAdonisVyers]

T even with nudity (in Symphony of the Night, at least) and blood? Really? I don't care about the ratings anyway, but I just wanted to point that out.

[TheAzureNightmare]

@DarkAdonisVyers There was little to no detail on the nude sprite on the Succubus. And what "T" game didn't have blood then?

[DarkAdonisVyers]

@TheAzureNightmare What "T" game? Soul Calibur, some other Castlevanias.

[DarkAdonisVyers]

I get why Dracula's eyes are glowing, but why are Richter's?

[TheButtaz24]

DRACS POWER IN THE FULL

[GmodPlusWoW]

Use Item Crash with the Holy Water!

[T94OWH]

HYDRO STORM!

[zoltanben90]

It has a MGS feel to it

[Shadowhog]

It also feels like a MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF SECRETS

[egxtra]

Better to be a MISERABLE PILE OF SECRETS than a CESSPIT OF HATRED AND LIES.

[DarkAdonisVyers]

Though they're fundamentally the same thing, the true nature of humans.

[egxtra]

True, but the latter simply sounds more...poetic and much more demeaning than the former.

Kinda like calling someone a jerk as to calling them an ass. Roughly the same idea, but one stings just a little more than the other.

[angrydead]

@Shadowhog ENOUGH TALK HAVE AT YOU!

[mastertriforce69]

@Shadowhog

YOUR WORDS ARE AS EMPTY AS YOUR SOUL

[Xeranad]

Probably the most epic version of this theme out there.

[TorrinTheGreat]

An Mp3 of this would be excellent.

[tt89898989]

There is an MP3, you can get three diffrent versions of it for your Ipod

[TorrinTheGreat]

Specify. Where can it be found?

I do not own an IPod, though that would be preferable to the piece of shit I am currently using.

[OgnarPliskin]

Super Epic.

[KINGKICK612]

my fave is DoS version~~~~

[OgnarPliskin]

HAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[SoulCalibrator]

Yeah... this version made this fight so much more epic.. 'specially when Drac transformed. It got intense!

[OgnarPliskin]

I couldn't believe he had a third form. o.O

[ninjasolidsnake]

i know the second time fighting him (after rescueing all the maidens) i found that form and i thought. im gonna die

[Bogue2kw]

And it's the most badass of them all! It was also freaking hard the first time I tried to defeat it.

[RandalfElVikingo]

you dont play Castlevania 3?

[OgnarPliskin]

He didn't have a third form in Rondo.

[RandalfElVikingo]

i know why you reply to me?

[OgnarPliskin]

Because I have played Castlevania III.

[RandalfElVikingo]

but he have 3 forms in castlevania 3...

[GentlemanAeon777]

its a remake, they can do whatever they please ^^

[egxtra]

We know, but they had to throw a curve ball for those that already played the original, and quite frankly, it was pretty impressive!

[OgnarPliskin]

@egxtra Agreed. I didn't see it coming and I got beat up.

[dawatchng]

i feel that this is the best version.

[DamascusTer]

Second best. First is Judgment one. Third, on my own, is CV64 "chorus" version.

[bfuggly379]

This one is my favorite by far. The vocal chorus in the back really amplifies the intensity of the fight.

[Terestrasz]

1:06

Thumb...tump...thomp...thump..­.

[gaarockee]

hm these are my favorite illusions dances out of 3

1.Castlevania Judgments Dance of illusions(number 1 for its final boss epic win and it's just what you'd hear for something awe and breathtaking

2: this one because of all the extra instruments re-done style ad epicenss

3:dawn of sorrows (dunno it has a sort of charm to it which stands out from the rest.)

[KingXTXWKOBW]

This version of Dance of Illusions, the Dance of Illusions from Castlevania Judgement, and the Dance of Illusions from Castlevania 64 are my favorite three no doubt. I really hope they use it in the next Castlevania adventure game, since they didn't in Order of Ecclesia or Portrait of Ruin... disappointed me personally because that song gets me pumped up to battle the Count.

[Spaghedward1]

So true, the Order of Ecclesia song in particular was disappointing, it sounded like something from a cartoon.

[ganondorf59]

4 me the original (Rondo) and SOTN r the best, then 64 then COTM then this DOS. The rest r pretty meh but those 4 r just pure GOLD.

[MasterBelmont]

My favorite's the Symphony of the Night version.

[WheelOfFate456]

That one sticks out to the people =D

[MasterBelmont]

This one's insanely epic, though.

[mittieman]

yeah its sucks that they didn't put this song in PoR ore OoE..

[Wargod2]

i agree :<

[McCoy196]

It did suck that Dance of Illusions wasn't in Portrait of Ruin or Order of Ecclesia... it's his freakin' theme song, for God's sakes! Haha! Though Dracula's music in OOE, "Order of the Demon", was really good...

[TransformersFanCo217]

@KingXTXWKOBW Believe it or not, Harmony of Despair's Dracula battle has the Order of Ecclesia battle music for Drac's first two forms. He then unleashes his final form, with this exact song playing in the background. I won't reveal the final form, but let's just say all three forms have been in SoTN before.

[Brandon5l9]

@KingXTXWKOBW Its in Harmony of Despair and it sounds baddass.

[DamascusTer]

@KingXTXWKOBW Totally Agreed !

[dsteward85]

Hell yeah. Sounds even better on my computer than it did on the PSP

[soulreaver91]

Best boss music ever. Brings back alot of memories of pain trying to beat him.

[RandyTheZeldaFan]

I love it!!!

Thats my favorite Illusionary Theme and the theme of castlevania dawn of sorrow

[Piotyr100]

This my favorite version of this theme :)

[OgnarPliskin]

Do you have "Dancing in Phantasmic Hell", the boss theme?

[Spaghedward1]

Yes, but it is known as Dark Desires on the CD.

[Spaghedward1]

Ha Ha! At this moment the video has 666 views!

[DamascusTer]

Enfin une version qui a réussi à détroner celle de Castlevania 64. Excellente !
