Castlevania SotN - Boss Fight - Galamoth

[MrKill194]

Put a hard shield in the weapon place, and hold the shield near him , you gonna kill him in 10seconds...

[bjblaze92]

i cant imagine how hard it'll be if galamoth becomes a stage boss in a classicvania...

[Sacyn]

Did you mean the normal mist? The poison mist relic is only available until directly after the fight with this guy. I still thought he was pretty hard, as I only did around 70 damage to his leg, which took a whole load of hits to down him. Didn't have that beryl circlet either, so his electricity attacks did around 49 or so damage. Ouch.

[274joe]

@Sacyn alucard shield plus shield rod easy as shit

[DeafForever666]

i just poison misted behind his foot nd slashed for 45 secs. easy as shit

[DarkDevastator77]

Cheapest way to beat this guy Alucard Shield with Shield Rod activate the boost and you do around 240 damage just by walking into in with the shield up takes about 30 secs to beat him that is the cheapest way to beat him

[salsanfilippo86]

just use the masumane

[oldskoolrocker1000]

I found myself asking Why was this guy harder then shaft and dracula?

[awais142]

these are the same noise effects they use for chinese movies

[DarkSymphony777]

and he did not do the glitch

[DarkSymphony777]

my friend claims he beat this guy in one go without the crisseagrim i find that total BS comment me back if you agree

[stevelatinner]

@DarkSymphony777 its not BS. there are so many ways to do it.

[satanslegacy]

i got into a glitch where i was in position he couldn't hurt me and i could do maximum damage whole the time

[zeldafanful]

This boss was way harder than dracula.

I did the shield rod+Alucard shield trick.

:3

[Jaimas]

My means of beating him was to spam shield summons from the Mablung sword.

[tubenachos]

If you had Crissaegrim he would totally have been owned!

[MayHemZgte]

Gay use lightning absorb accessory.

Can you pass by your skill?

[Pyre]

@MayHemZgte

Given that the way the fight is structured, it's actually very nearly impossible to avoid being hit ALOT/ losing a life/ burning most of your healing items during it? Yes presumably, but once you find a better way, you kind of have to hate yourself for subjecting yourself to what is nearly a Fake Difficulty boss fight.

[rosemaries69]

I did not know about the beryl circlet, and it took me ages to beat him with the silly strategic I came up with: I bought the duplicator and: a) I used the neutron bomb repeatedly or something like it (maybe carma coin, or a mix of many (use) items), b) I used on me lighting resistance all the time, c) and potion all the time. But it was slow and silly.

[Kirbyluver2]

I had no clue you could absorb his lightning. I was dodging it by using wolf charge or mist. Took so many tries with his wierd ass movement and cheap attacks.

[calipdis2]

i remmember repeating this battle over and over, it was very difficult, I bought every damage item from the librarian, because I didnt know about the beryl circlet

:(

[YiDe102]

watch?v=9bYd7PRXiJ0 

[cdw626]

I can beat this boss in literally no more than 5-10 seconds. Yes, I said SECONDS! The trick is right before you enter the room, put on any ring or items that will multiply your hit power, don't worry about defense too much, you'll kill him so fast you wont need a lot of def points. Next equip the Alucard Shield (not AlucarT shield) and the Shield Rod. This makes the Alucard Shield into an offensive weapon! A very effective one that Galamoth cant defend. Just stick on his foot and hold it! Viola!

[THEmuteKi]

@cdw626 Yeah, once you get the alucard shield, the shield rod makes the game insanely easy. You can just run into everything and it dies. I guess it IS kinda cool that there's an item that uses your MP to make you invincible, though.

[SuparKittay]

@cdw626 u should make vid on it =D

[Napalmburns]

What sword do you use? i only get 1 damage on him

[Weedretreat]

this is my fav boss i think its the coolest

[perdedoronline]

Damn, i just use the shield rod/alucard shield comob and call it a day. LOL.

[carlosmegamanx2008]

didn't somebody post with lv 4x and NO EQUIPS?

because i'd defeated with no equips in lv 42

i wanted to post it :(

[saobernardopinheiro]

What item do you use to load the blood when struck by lightning?

[Fabiandog]

crissaegrim <3!

[Bundesheerler19]

why wont his shin break?

[link45458]

galamoth made 9 accounts and disliked this.

[NerdyHippy]

Damn, Galamoth really beefed up since Kid Dracula

[LeUberTroll]

@NerdyHippy

I am King Garamoth

[EvilRyuGuy]

Even without the circlet Alucard still has a lot of broken abilities. This is how I set Alucard up for a more fair luck mode fight: No mist form No teleporting No healing or attack items lvl 47 Osafune Katana Cat eye circlet Walk armor Twilight cape King stone Sun ring Super jump over him, dive kick behind him and slash his heel during the electric shower. For the orb projectiles backdash away and if cornered get to the other side with bat or wolf form. And that's about it, not that hard.

[theGREATkingKENA]

I think it's cheap using the beryl circlet. I defeated him without it. =)

[DejectedPanda]

Do you need to beat this character? I don't think I ever did before fighting drac.

[Regenerator777]

The way I beat him was to quickly get up to the side of his head (top right platform), and then slice his head until he died.

[VileTheReject]

I like the part where he slashed his shin

[wakkanda]

@VileTheReject i like the part where LAME FUCKING COMMENT IS OVERUSED

[trinity42ful]

@G4bryel63

[trinity42ful]

diganme como hacer para hacer q los rayos restauran HP

esq estoy atrancado con ese monstruos porfavor

:D

[LouisKoo112345]

here to find the Beryl circlet ?

[damiandadmn]

@LouisKoo112345 The room at the entrance where all the mermans jump out of the water and the shortcut to the Caverns, the rock wall where ya got the turkey, do the Wing Smash Spell through it a few times in the inverted stage of the castle

[bramyjo]

you get a circlet to get healed by lightning.. Then you have to get mablung sword or shield rod to use on alucard shield. then kill it :P the holy glasses show a orb flying around richter at final battle. kill that orb and go to inverted glasses , holy glasses can be required at the big clock , you need gold ring and silver ring

[bassnman420]

where do you get the ring to help beat him??

[sajk21]

First time i entered i didin't know he was so strong =(. I forgot to get the ring and equip the beryl circlet however, I won first time after 2 life apples and 3 elexirs =).

[KaelDragon]

jaja my first time i did this without the ring, it was a pain in the ass, but i killed the first try, but i was like level 68

[younglinkxx]

do it without the ring its hard as shit lol

[crash22spyro]

He's actually stronger than the final boss

[kylesalyer45]

Good times...

[A4moondoggy]

i killed him without the beryl circlet i used the masamune and kept using it's special attack to avoid his lightning. unfortunately the second time i played through i couldn't get a masamune from the venus plant chick thing so it was much harder. lot's of soul steals:)

[wyldeman48]

without the Beryl Circlet or the Lightning Mail this is easily the hardest boss in this entire game...especially on Luck Mode 

[MESWorld]

@wyldeman48 Go watch the video he did of fighting Galamoth in luck mode, he doesn't look very hard

[TheSuperforestman]

I played this at my mom's friend's house,and died on the first boss!:(

[xWagnerPlaguesx]

@TheSuperforestman uu died on slogra and gaibon?man,u must be one heck of a loser,no offence buddy.

[007Thanos007]

This guy has on the hard-to-find Cat's Eye Gem, which gives HP for the electrical damage that Galamoth puts out.

Without that Gem, this is a fairly challenging Boss (my ONE complaint about this game being that it was way, way, way too easy).

[BananaBacon64]

I killed this guy thinking that it would led me to shaft, he was hard-ass, when i beat him i was like IN UR FACE!!! then i went on the get poison gas cloud and im like WTF!!!!!!!! THIS FIGHT WAS OPTIONAL!!!!! DHAGBFHBSBHAFJGDAJFGGGHS I DONT HAVE POWER OF MIST!

[BananaBacon64]

if you have beryl circlet u win

[LegendaryMasterAZ]

Galamoth: NOOO!!!! MY ONE WEAKNESS!! SHIN SPLINTSSS AUUURUHAUHGALFJHASKLFJAOKJ wooosh flames explode asswipe.

[crisexpert555]

I play this game when I saw the galamothh even harder than the final boss dracula, but then I discovered an almost infallible scheme to defeat them quickly, as soon as they enter the room until the galamoth climb the left platform and transformation into a bat and a dash to stop behind the platform right behind the head of galamoth coseguir properly and directly attacked his neck which is the part that causes more damage around 147 hp depending on the level......

[kill38p]

i owned him at a rele low lvl some how i bugged him and i kept attacking him lmao and he couldnt move if i could do it again id make a tube video of it but ive played this game so many times one of the most fun castlevania games ive played too bad they dont make decent 2d ones ds ones were okay but when i was that xbox 2d one i thought it was gonna b a part of the story line but its that stupid shit like on the ds to fight monsters

[Scalpking47]

beating this boss with Richter is the only true challenge in SOTN

[FanTaDig88]

@Scalpking47 Not really, you can jump up to a platform and whip his ass without him dealing any damage to you. That's how I did it anyway...

[Brandon5l9]

@Scalpking47 Sorta. At first glance yes, but you can just sit on the platform and use the special with the daggers and you will lock him untill he dies

[IfItBreathesKiLLIt]

@Scalpking47

Actually, you can just uppercut into the air, use the dash move to move behind him. There's a ledge up there, that you can stand on. You can then spam attacks. This guy shows you in one of his videos.

[kimflodin]

@Scalpking47 this game was very hard and challanging IMO.

[X1ntar0]

bosses will never be challenging if you use the alucard shield. that's why i never used it. though i used a crissaegrim lolz

[someguyhunter]

so all you do is smack his shin for 3 mins?

[ootdega]

I just stood to the side and abused the hell out of Soul Steal.

...Which is pretty much what I did the entire game <<;;

[ariel917nm]

he sucked my dick in 6 seconds with 2 crissaegrims, 2 vardas, walk armor and dragon helm... yes I already had finished the game once, thats why I got the vardas... but the first time I beat him by getting on a ledge and began beating him on the head... 1 minute and a half...

[bluefalcon7]

when i beat him the first time i got behind his foot and he kind of glitched and kept just moving back and forth and not attacking so i just stayed in one spot and wailed away for like 5 minits lol

[blacklustwolf]

First Time i beat this fucker i emptied all trowing weapons potions and food and a single fucking shuriken the last i have killed the bastard the true value of this fight is do it whitout duplicator, beryl circlet, crissaegrim,shield rod, and mablung sword

[davintheraven]

@K1llerSpades Kinda. This boss was the villain of his own game way back in 1993 on Gameboy called "Kid Dracula", a cartoony spoof of the Castlevania games. His re-appearance in this game is an awesome reference.

[kneegrowpls]

i was at lvl 56 when i beat him and he was pwning the hell outa me

[TheCkfeister]

@kneegrowpls

wow waht level is he on?

[Ifrid87]

Unfair XD

[zerafix666]

i just beat this guy today for the first time, no beryl circlet or anything - just dodging his atacks w/ the mist form and hiting his feet with alucard sword lol. i actually died once and my fairy ressed me (:

it was very satisfying to watch him burn :D

[yohlex017]

LOL @ the end when he was catching the *Forgot the name of that thing when you kiLL a boss* he strike sword , i remember when i was pLaying this , i do the same thing to catch that *thing*

[SIKMetroid]

DISCO GALAMOTH =D

[jetsal]

I don't remember this boss being hard, at all...

[Chicano3000X]

I used the cloud and had my sword familiar do all the work lol.

[evanatord]

WHAT SYSTEM 4

[egg64]

@evanatord Playstation 1.

[xREVSx]

@evanatord its also on XBOXLIVEARCADE-xbox360

[NightimeSorrow]

for me, I think it was a long battle... but fun.

[TranceElectroTechno]

Try to beat him just using magics no armor, tyrfing as a weapon, leather shield, no hat, no accesories, no cloack, no sub weapon and 170 hp at lvl 32 and that its a real fight

[raidacaipo]

wow thats a boss fight with the hardest boss? looks retarded. All he does is stand there shooting his shit while you slice his leg. Boring

[BahamutFlare]

beat this boss WITHOUT beryl circlet cause i noob and didn't know it existed till these videos. I used mist to get inbetween his legs and wack at it. jumped from lvl 42 to 45 and probably hacked at this boss for more than 200 hits at 57 dmg per hit with some crits here and there. this boss got like 15000 hp or something!

[somaisthebest]

@BahamutFlare You says 15000, some says 5000, other says 9999, there is people who said 6666 to!?which one is correct?

[somaisthebest]

@BahamutFlare Oh! I think it's over 7000

[xantyleonhart]

@somaisthebest

No.... It's.... It's over 9000!!! *crushes scouter*

[BahamutFlare]

lol i beat galamoth WITHOUT the beryl circlet cause I couldn't find it. I jumped from lvl 42 to 45. I must've hitted galamoth like 200+ times about 57 dmg each wack so u do the math. I kinda got tired counting to cause he glitched up and i kept attacking his foot and he would like tiptoe back and forth without doing anything. but mist helps lol... all i gotta say.

[strix1394]

Galamoth is WORSE than "The Forgotten" in Lament of Innocence only Galamoth IS NOT optional...congrats on your victory this guys a true pain in the behind

[SSJ555]

I think this boss was made so difficult so that players would not feel they were cheating when they used items like Crissaegrim to destroy him.

[deleriousexile]

how do you heal from the lightning?

[caxco93]

absorb lightning? wtf is that

[chrisw06]

@caxco93 gotta equip the beryle circlet....it converts lightning damage to hp

[killeing]

according to lore wise, he's dracula's arch rival, and considering his power/abilities, im not all that surprised : /. he's even the reason Castlevania: Judgement was created

[goon5544]

i think the rotten skelton is worthy of mention for hard bosses

[PallKariToni]

I beat this boss by turning into mist flying low past him and basically hitting the other wall. then i kept attacking he couldnt attack me back and couldnt swing his club cuz the wall didnt let him. using some bullshit lightning absorb crap shows that you are weak and cant play the game

[Cataklon]

Belyl Circlet? No fun at all...

[Dawnemperor1]

This guy should become the secondary Big Bad of the Castlevania series after Dracula

[demonkai76]

hell yeh he is the hardest boss n enemy. ill never forget it^^

[Xclibur2001]

I noticed that on the Playstation's 1997 Version of SOTN, you could easily fly past his head to a platform before he stands completely up and swing your Alucard Sword at his head and kill him in a matter of seconds because he won't move. However!!!!!!!!!!! I also tried to do this on the Sega Saturn Dracula X game and the PSP DXC version................It didn't work. Someone at Konami fixed this little gimmic after 1997. Galamoth just walks back, thus making more challenging and difficult.

[C0mputaBox]

This guy's sooooo easy.

Fly over him with bat and stand on the platform near his head.

Hit him with everything you've got.

You shouldn't even get hit once.

[Vincerocks]

I've killed him in ten seconds with the alucard shield+ burtgang (dropped on the magical sword in the reverse church) or the shield rod......

[ninjitsian]

where do you get the circlet?

[Druuna89X]

@ninjitsian its in a hidden room in the upside down castle by where the mermen were in the original castle, you have to break the rocks where the pot roast was, walk through it going right to left in wolf form, and fly back through it in bat form. the secret room is in the top right corner of the screen.

[ninjitsian]

@Druuna89X ahhh thanks bro! ive been lookin for that and his original equipment forever but i didnt want to check online haha

[Druuna89X]

@ninjitsian anytime man, in the original castle it also holds a jewel sword which is kinda of useful if you're trying to get the duplicator.

[ninjitsian]

@Druuna89X man idk anything about that stuff

[rkhussain]

before fight this boss you get your original shield and theirs is a secret staff in this game available perhapes u found it which bring different powers to every shild and alucard's shield get vampire power once u summon iot walk while gurad whoever you hit it will suck it energy and during that alucard will be invincible i defeated this boss and final easily only standing while guarding and doing nothing(pardon for my english)

[OmegaMaxter]

The Crisagrim makes this fight unfair, but you used the pussy circlet. I'm glad Dracula didn't have a circlet that made him instant novice mode

[Druuna89X]

@OmegaMaxter I agree that the circlet does make this fight pansy, I just use mist form to dodge his attacks and like this guy did, spam the alucard sword.

[OmegaMaxter]

@Druuna89X Thats what i do too, cept i usually use the crisigrim.

[IQ567891234]

God i frigging hate this boss it can go to hell

[uberkewl19]

cool game

[freaklatino13]

all i did was get behind him and hit him really fast behind his head really easy boss

[burra007]

first as a cartoonish monster, later as this badass dino-humanoid, them as the new darklord of judgment, what's next?

[blacklustwolf]

Real man doesnt use shield rod and alucard shield

[Cyberleader12]

I managed to beat this fucker without cheap ways (Sheild Rod, Platform, Beryl Circlet). Hard as fuck.

[divixmage]

Actually the Yasatsune katana is better.

[Darkdragon342]

Galamoth: I'm gonna hit you with lightning!

*zap*

Galamoth:Wtf? you got health back?!?!

[ReverendSyn]

Reminds me of a boss from Kid Dracula

[RPGFan28]

Well Galamoth IS from Kid Dracula

[doom2sgt]

you wanna be cheap as fuck equip crissaegim in each hand and god garb and berly circlet keep clicking square and circle and watch the dicing blades rape him. hard to get crisseagim and god garb but i got it easily with lapis lazul

[Penfold8]

Try beating him without the lighting mail and using the Osfune Katana transportation trick (doing a Street Fighter II, Ryu hadoukken move). Now that is a hard fight.

[foottothenuts]

i killed him in a couple seconds by equiping the shield rod and alucard shield

[LordDeathkeeper]

He only has two attacks? That's pretty sad.

[FeySynth]

they always add in a super hard boss in the castlevania games.

[R4LRetro]

This boss is bullshit with Richter.

[Diggler277]

@R4LRetro Hydro Storm!

[R4LRetro]

@Diggler277 Well, of course, but still he's a bastard haha.

[HELLo5170]

nice going there

[oregonkid08]

How do you get the Beryl Circlet??

[SuperMario766]

You get the Beryl Circlet in the reverse entrance, go through the small rock pillar in the moat room on the left side, go through half of it as bat, then come out the other side as wolf, then go to the top right and go through the new passage, there the Beryl Circlet is.

[Philamon56]

I remember doing this fight by misting between his legs and using my crissagrim. Fairy familiar equipped and pretty much win. It's hard to time the mist right because it's only like a 2sec shot or something like that.

Oh yeah, this guy on Richter is far far far FAR worst

[NeoGamemaster]

Cheap

[Zeehoos]

@NeoGamemaster u call that cheap.. try the shield trick on him, thats rly cheap xD what that guy uses is something we call tactic and brain

[SephurMcGoul]

How much can I say... Well,

Shield Rod + Alucard Shield,

Beryl Circlet

Regular

Speed Run to Galamoth

Galamoth vs Richter

Easiest to Hard, all very fun if you're into it.

[SOLIDOLDSNAKE1]

Lol sheild rod plus alucard sheild needs nothing else. It can kill anything in seconds. I remember using it against dracula, and I laughed after he died 3 seconds later.

[sdencer1]

Crissaegrim..

[roldan93lol]

@sdencer1 its not crissaegrim

[geminimewtwo]

@roldan93lol: and it's called fucking Val Manwë anyway.

[yourleftnut1]

if i remember correctly, the vorpal blade was soo much faster in speed, but i don't think you can get it at this point in the game

[divixmage]

@yourleftnut1 Vorpal blade hits as fast as you can spam the button. Crisseagrim hits 4 times per button press. It's easier on your fingers.

[centeromega]

if you think this is hard...try beating this guy with Richter

[GenyaArikado]

@centeromega Yeah, but you could do a trick with Richter. Jump over him and use the knife special on him ! it's the only way i could beat him because you die in 4 hits.

[centeromega]

REALLY! O.O [cries]

[GenyaArikado]

@centeromega Yeah of course ^_^

But have you played Circle Of The Moon and Order Of Ecclesia ?

[centeromega]

yes i have, except for Order Of Ecclesia; I'm quite the die-hard for the series. :D

[GenyaArikado]

Yeah, i can say the same. I have played every castlevania there is. Except for Order Of Shadows, which is not made by the japanese. The same goes for the upcoming Lords Of Shadow. I don't think it will be any good either. I suppose it won't be RPG installments in it. And the music is what's important in castlevania. I hope they could make another in 2-D with RPG/Action.

[centeromega]

@GenyaArikado well idk the new game looks pretty promising and yes MUSIC IN THIS SERIES IS BEYOND FANTASTIC, however if they take the Rpg elements out of the new one, I think i'm going to cry. That would be a hugeeeeee step backwards in the series i don't think the huge expanse of the game will save it even if it does take it away who knows my friend

[GenyaArikado]

Yes, i agree. You're right.

[centeromega]

this is the only boss in this game that made me feel like a complete noob, i usually never used the crissaegerrin but i just wasn't able to beat him normally; this fight brings back memories though

[gagebrubach]

this was the only boss i could not kill i tried like million times

[DaMusique3]

lol i didnt have beryl circlet when i did this...or alucards shield + shield rod...i killed him by using alucards sword's special ability (down, down-forward, forward). If you time it right you can just keep using it and never return to a 'solid' state and therefore never get hit...still took me a few times to master the timing but got it eventually.

[gfskill]

I feels sorry for Galamoth too...imagine getting hacked piece by piece by a small half vampire size of a barbie doll...and when you try to catch him he turns to mist and hacks face away with Wing Smash...

[serginho3000]

use the sword Crissaegrin. The ghosts in the lybrary on the reverse castle drop it!

[brunoperez30]

galamoth deberia estar en otros castlevanias...

[jhonalferrer]

@brunoperez30 toy deacuerdo

[yuggothian]

I juts super-jumped and bat-dashed to the platform behind his head as soon as the fight started. Then I just kept hitting him in the head with a long blade(in my case, the Dark Sword). If you do it non-stop he can't attack or move, he'll just stand there and bop his head like an idiot, so this was probably the easiest boss fight in the game for me.

[xAnTiShOrTyX]

omfg this guy is fucking crazy hard it took me i think 5 tries then i said fuck it and used holy cross and and blood cape equipped with farie and attacked the shit out of his legs with cross spam like crazy

[420pdp420]

i just used shield rod and alucard shield 249 damage so i beat him pretty quick
