Castlevania SOTN: Death Ballad

[anthomister2]

galamoth was by far the hardest boss, dracula and shaft were so easy maaaaannnnn...also had trouble with beezlebub

[Slashthehedgehog1443]

Crissaegrim+Galamoth(And any other boss for that matter...)=Insta win

[DartUchiha]

Legion/Granfaloon was the very first boss I ever saw in a Castlevania game. Freaked me out when I saw it since I was only 5 years old. Didn't help that the guy I watched play the game kept getting his ass kicked by it. So with a 5 year old imagination, I saw it as a huge ball of dead bodies that was impossible to kill. You could say that gave me nightmares then.

[MrShiki1134]

this was my sound effect when i beat up my P.E. teacher... back at highschool.....

[MetalHound91]

I love how chaotic and dysfunctional the music sounds after awhile. as if showing the stress of trying to win the boss battle.

[GenyaArikado]

You can't make a much better boss theme than this !

[Julienfun]

Galamoth, I hate you so much !

[Fodyth]

I still remember the boss that was looking like a death ball, and bodies we're fallin' from him

[burningHeart09]

@Fodyth you mean Legio- er I mean Granfaloon? I don't know why they choose to rename him that in SotN. every other game he shows up in, they call him Legion. Maybe it was to avoid pissing somebody off?

[274joe]

@Fodyth i used to call him the pizza when i was like 8 XD

[go2viraj]

@Fodyth You mean Legion

[HorukuDark]

I have never heard this track without an unending amount of battle sounds blaring over it.

[Fodyth]

I Remember when i was fighting galamoth, i just was running because i wanted to listen to this track :D

[MarvelousGamingz]

Legion.. Yeah, don't fight that boss unless your parents and a younger audience is around...Freaks them the fuck out.. xD

[azgalorazgalor17]

GALAMOOOOOOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VaanArisato]

I remember seeing Beelzebub rotting corpse every time I listen to this...

[jakezilla382000]

LEGION!!(granfaloon)

HOLY CRAP

[SamusDrake]

Dammit, Alucard was THE hero of the PS1 era. Some of those boss battles were bloody epic!

[Dewani90]

@NiggadickJaxHD there is a KORN song that says "dead bodies everywhere", sounds like your comment, even if the bodies that fall from Legion/Grandfallon are quite alive and will crawl toward you... as normal enemies, altough all of them scream quite damned to me..., i use hellfire on them while pressing up to release meteors, those get rid of them quite nicely, the chakram works also for both the boss and the enemies

[Dewani90]

@NiggadickJaxHD does it sounds like KorN? "dead bodies everywhereeeee!!!!"

[AllenWalkerInnocence]

LEGION!!!!

[g3rrar1]

AWESOME. best soundtrack ever.

[thefameboy64]

When you're facing Galamoth for half an hour or longer without using the crissagrim or the Alucard + Shield Rod ability, this gets stuck in your head. But you want it stuck in your head, that's the part that makes this track amazing. I love it.

[XxGameGuyxX1]

Hippogryph,Olrox,Legion,Beelze­bub,Death and Shaft Dislike this song.

[noiluigi64]

@XxGameGuyxX1 Legion alone could dislike this thousands of times!

[thesonekamitu]

@XxGameGuyxX1

What about galamoth??

[stroopatroopa]

@XxGameGuyxX1 its not called Legion in SoTN, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is called and so I give you the thumbs up of varda

[Burxy]

@stroopatroopa /ganfaloon or sumthin like that

[MrGameAZ]

@XxGameGuyxX1 You forgot Galamoth

[MrFethennour]

I remember beating Galamoth's ass on this one.

[jbragg85]

If I was running away from something, I would want this to play... or if I was surrounded by monsters or demons or some shit... perfect music to a perfect game

[0PyramidHead]

Hippogryph, Olrox, Legion, Beelzebub, Death, Galamoth and Shaft.

[jjvictor66]

*remember the belzeebub boss*

OSHIIIIIIII-

[Ultrhan]

Awesome song. I still remember it even when i play this game and beat it at the age of 8 and im now 19 :D i even have this in my phone ring tone!

[shakayojgph]

the first time you fight against the galamoth and suddenly you realize that it will kill you, you really feel the song and understand the name of the song, at least, probably most of the people die in the first fight against galamoth and i think is a good experience

[kequaypha0045]

Sound like touhou boss battle OST,maybe it's Rumia's theme

[MurakamiTenshi]

@kequaypha0045 you mean the touhou boss battle sounds like THIS :)

[VileV]

5 dark servants had their miserable souls ripped out & tortured during the "death ballad"...

[pollobuster]

slogra & gaibon, shaft, olrox and dracula don´t like this

[jouluturkki]

Very imposing. When I was nine I nearly shit my pants when I saw that huge lump of human corpses rise from the boneyard, or decayed the Lord of The Flies hanging from the ceiling.

[GamingTrigger]

This makes me remember Beelzebub and Galamoth more than any other boss.

[Chepito2846]

i don't know which one is more sinister & evil...this or the boss theme from Castlevania Bloodlines.

[Lukasilvabr]

galamoth

[Noborux]

simply a awesome theme for the battle with Death, but I can't seem to find the theme of when you fight the Succubus or Medusa. Does anyone know what its called?

[richtier]

@Noborux enchanted banquet

[Joelomite]

@PsychoBurgundy2, you PERFECTLY described Beelzebub. I had the same feeling when I first saw him. Definitely a sight to leave you with eternal nightmares for sure.

[Joelomite]

Who thinks this would fit great in Jaws when he's tearing a person apart as they scream for dear life?

[Jahan917]

@PsychoBurgundy2 you perfectly described what I thought of Beelzebub when I fought him, not to mention the times when it "screams" when parts of its body falls off, and those giant flies are disgusting.Just thinking about it, I agree Beelzebub was worse than granfaloon

[Jahan917]

This makes me think of Beelzebub ...

[RaccoonMario22]

HOLY CROSS!

[TheNewEmphinix]

Galamoth! So hard!

[BluntmanEXE]

@TheNewEmphinix Not really. Galamoth's piss-easy to beat if you equip the Beryl Circlet before you fight him. That way, all his lightning attacks will heal you.

[Uroboruss]

GALAMOTH....deeeeeeviiiiiiiil!­!!!

[alucardshero]

alucard: that is one big galamoth, i thought... oh wait, thats gergoth.

[AxeArmor214]

Galamoth either has 6,666 or 12,000 HP. Which one is true?

[TheAzureNightmare]

@AxeArmor214 9,999. Possibly 10,000.

[ChocolateNaruto]

@TheAzureNightmare

but...that would be.....OVER 9000!!

[AskarDarkKnight]

best game OST EVER

[BluelightSpike]

I remember Grandfaloon..

Rising from the ground like a giant behemoth of death.

The corpses, the screams... And then...

THe music.

I will remember this game until i die.

[azgalorazgalor17]

@BluelightSpike Yeah the best boss in the original castle...I was like really nervous when I first encounter that boss so it took me over 20 minutes lol

[BluelightSpike]

It took me about... 3 or 4 runs.

That big balloon o' corpses was just plain terrifiying. xD

I only had like 8 years when i fought him.

[nobunaga47]

epic battles should have epic music

[898031]

when i hear this song i think of Beelzebub

[lunarion666]

Galamoth was easy but his hp was a bit hard to take down.

[1987Challenger3]

dude...for thousands of years guys had long hair. it wasnt really till the later 1800 when men stated cutting thier hair short.

[JLiqour]

EASY BOSSSSS, all i had to do was whip out my tire iron from gremlin guy and shoot 4 or 5 goose nuts into her anus

[rinofang]

Galamoth.. MOTHERFUCKER... The first time i fought that guy i didn't have crissaegrim, and didn't know of the power of the shield rod.. so, Alucard Sword... Damn.. it was hard as hell..!

[GSE1916]

good memories, especially the duel wid Galamoth.

[theguy405]

this fits for richer vs galamoth epic battle

[Davix72]

Remember with this the super battle with Galamoth, with alucar was easy cos the special power of the shield, but with Richter it was the hell.

haha good memories ^^

[dracmeister]

Dude, that's the hair of people who live in th 1700's

Anyways, does it bother you that some guys have long hair? They're not necessarily gay...

[ByouDanseiKamiEnSai]

@dracmeister Yeah! Its not like people freakin had mohawks and fohawks and hair shorter than an inch unless they were bald.

[Noodleztherabbit]

@dracmeister Long hair is fucking METAL.

[KooriAkuma]

@dracmeister

who said that?! guys with long hair r hot! damn ignorant ppl n their stupid comments >:[

[Acilles451911]

@dracmeister thats right. A lot of special ops have long hair to help them blend in.... You'll only call em gay once....

[XTestamentOfYoreX]

What sucks about being Richter is that if you have no idea how to fully use his abilities you will die in just a few hits.

[chinangel]

Fun Fact: Count Olrox is a refference to the original 1930's Nosferatu film. As the original german writer couldn't get the rights to call the vamprie Dracula, he called him' Olrox'.

[nintendude8]

wasnt that orlock

[chinangel]

yes, you're right. I messed the name up. ^.^;

[Nearidley]

@chinangel The vampire in the film Nosferatu was called Orlok, not Olrox.

[chinangel]

@Nearidley aww damn, you're right too. Still, I think it's a refference.

[Kurrigan123]

I beat Galamoth with Richter. now that there is a challenge

[titan2781]

i love to beat him as Richter. get the dagger special weapon, max out hearts, then special attack him when he is in a moment where he kind of does that leg jerk head tilt thing every time you attack him and just UNLOAD on the mother. give you a nice handicap for the rest of the battle. then just keep hitting him when he is in the leg/head jerk thing. get him trapped in that "stun" and as long as you dont lose rhythm when hitting him and your not close enough for him to kick you, he's toast

[WexMajor82]

Easly done: uppercut, fly through his head with dash, land on the platform behind him, start the whipping on the back of his head, keeping the rithm so he can't move. In about 10m min he'll be dead.

[masterjustin45]

Dont Remind me of Galamoth..

And no i dident have Heal from Lightning coz i couldent find it Anywhere

Took all my healing items to win and sword famillier

and lots of dodging

[dracmeister]

You need to find the Beryl Circlet.

Go to the inverted entrance find that wall that you can make a tunnel with.

Then cross the tunnel with turning into a wolf, when you go out the other side, go into the other side this time through bat form... Then, go up you can find a secret cave.

That's where you'll find the Beryl Circlet

[ChaoticArrow155]

Olrox and Beelzebub were easy as cake compared to Galamoth, Galamoth was one of those bosses that made you worry and become too frantic to do anything before you get killed, mainly because he took up the entire screen and, without the right gear he could rock you pretty quickly at lower levels.

[magwaaf]

never got to him as richter. but he was hard enough as alucard

[ChaoticArrow155]

hes really not that hard as richter, if i remember right you can just get holy water and divine storm spam it while whippin em, its been awhile since i did a full richter boss run though, so i could be wrong.

[oddmanelf]

I Am Gilgamesh! Guardian of the bridge!

To pass you must answer my riddle, Or fight the mighty Cyclops!

[TheAzureNightmare]

@oddmanelf ... (Brandishes the head of Cyclops.) Can we have a Clash on the Big Bridge now?

[xlaider]

FUCK YEAH GALAMOTH

[me12270]

GALAMOTH IS EASY :P With Alucard shield. just press Square and O and activate the shields speciality, then hold O and place the shield next to Galamoth's foot/ankle/leg. THIS IS A CHEAP WAY OF KILLING GALAMOTH -.-''

[ThatguycalledJoe]

I beat Galamoth without that "Heal from lightning" thing. It took a while.

[GoodOlVladwick]

Me too, but only because I kinda found a little glitch in the Xbox arcade version where you can repeatedly attack him up on a ledge and he'll recoil over and over again without a chance to attack. I got REALLY lucky.

[AND4H]

I know it's a month late, but I had that happen once in the PSX version, made me smile because that boss took me over his knee for a while (this was before I even knew about the beryl circlet or whatever it was that absorbed lightning)

[SaintSanguine]

lol i just used the sheild rod and killed him in two seconds

[magwaaf]

i didnt know about the shield rod trick at first.

[Axel5550]

When I fought Galamoth to this, it really didn't fit beacuse I stood behind him on a platform and stabed him in the face over, and over, and over again. xD

[gfskill]

This song is more -.....(looks up...Hes HUGE!!!) Get moving or the idiot will stomp you and you DIE!!! or Get moving or Death himself will come pick you up to Hades.

[Cruxiz]

FUCKING BELZEBUUUUUUUUB!

And Galamoth was the hell!

Awesome theme

[JinEfreet]

Ohhh...Granfaloon...ohhhhh...B­eezelbub.

[gooblaka]

WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH WAIT... yay i killed shaft oh crap its dad!

[Achirio]

Fighting Galamoth with that music was one of the BEST boss fights i have ever seen... it was just perfect.

[necro336336]

I love this song. This one and Festival of Servants are the best boss themes in all Castlevania series.

[infectedkoozer]

exccelent boss theme.a ballad tu die. but i like more black banquet

[OgnarPliskin]

Epic boss theme for an epic game. I was listening to ActRaiser's boss theme and it reminded me of this. :)

[EXetoC]

I think blood relations is better.

[ElectricHawk]

Agreed.

[MadDoctor04]

Best boss music.

[solidsnate228]

Agreed.

[NicolaScorpion7000]

@MadDoctor04 sorry but in my opnion this is a bad music for bosses its annoying

[GenyaArikado]

@NicolaScorpion7000 It can't be more boss music than this

[NicolaScorpion7000]

@GenyaArikado ok i understand your opnion

[GenyaArikado]

@NicolaScorpion7000 Yes, because it sounds really like you're fighting a big boss. And that's what you do when this song begins. Festival of servants is used more with smaller bosses (not as hard ones).

[NicolaScorpion7000]

@GenyaArikado bingo "Festival of servants is used more with smaller bosses" and because this music is overplayed

[GenyaArikado]

@NicolaScorpion7000 Yeah sure

[deathballad]

@MadDoctor04 <3
