@@tsuyune3443 Note:There's a TLDR at the bottom. I follow Dracula then attack right after he sends a bat flying at you. Granted, he's sometimes too high up to attack without using the roc wing so i don't attack when he does. If you want an easier time avoiding them bats, use that dss combo that spawns four spinning ice balls. The bats are big and slow enough that it's practically impossible to get hit by them unless you're heading for the bats at high enough speed. TLDR: don't be too eager to get a whac on Drac. Use spinney icy dss to not get a whac from Drac. Attac after Drac attac.
@@tsuyune3443 I don't learn the patterns of eyeball Dracula, I dodge on the spot. The main reason he hits me in that form is his sudden direction changes, not the bats.
This is the most tedious boss fight ive done in years. literally nodding off. just jump 3 times, hope to god you hit the eye even once, repeat 45 times
I found if you use the cross and get the right attacks you can two cycle (maybe 1 cycle?) the first phase. But yeah I still have not beaten the second phase because it's so god damn tedious.
@@radiosurgery1802 The best way to handle second phase is to avoid all of his charges and then when the skull is use the Thunderbird summon which is Uranus+Thunderbird card which will do alot of damage to the skull without that summon theres no way I would win this fight.You can also summon the Thunderbird to avoid the meteor attack.With the summon this fight is much easier.
I thought I was doing something wrong cause it was the same thing over and over. Whole reason I looked up this video. Terrible final boss on an otherwise beautiful game.
@Thomas B been fighting this dude for hours thinking I was missing something, I remember when I was a kid I was able to tie something to my Gameboy so I'd get xp while spinning the whip on spawning enemies. Well 15 years later it's on Xbox and I can't do that and I'm like why the hell is this so hard lol
This was the most annoying dracula that I've ever fought. I spent who knows how long fighting it. It would not hit me but I felt my hits were like throwing potatoes at it. I wasn't doing much damage to it.
Im not sure if anyone has the same opinion as I do but have you noticed that this Dracula kinda fights with the beat, rhythm, and tempo of the music.And so are the way his attacks are slightly coordinated with the music.Just saying, im not sure if anyone else feels the same way.
Ashitaka Spiegel yeah I notice I all so notice almost all bosses in this game has project attacks that follow the player making it hard like Dracula's attacks
Jeesus this is one of the most tedius bosses i have played. It shows that Iga was not designing this one. This game is allright at start and mid section but then there are really mind bogling design choises. Like tonal chance that "oh yeah, should we make the end as annoying as the nes ones? Yes."
@@moonboot. Castlevania and Dracula's Curse are not even close to some of the hardest NES games. Even if you die you still can retry the stage, you have unlimited continues, you also start at the stairs if you die in the figh against Dracula in the first game. They are definitely amazing games everybody should play.
@@franciscoalmeida9019 I wasn't referring to the game as a whole, I was talking specifically about its final boss. Of the 12 or so Castlevania games I've played, that one was probably the hardest.
You've got skillz; I can pretty much zip thru the 1st form (thought those Thunder Bats can screw you over if you're not fast enough), and 2nd form is alright, but those damn meteors are insane...I can kick his ass though (without potions).
Playing the Advance Collection for the first time and this boss nearly gave me an aneurysm. I never got any summons throughout the game, I didn't even know there were summons tbh, the cards drop so infrequently. Instead I used the rose sword and chipped away at him in the second phase. It's so fucking tedious. My least favorite Dracula fight by far.
Here I was hoping to find out the strat I used to beat the eye was inefficient and slow D: I really like the platform strats for dealing with phase 1 though. So many free hits on the laser attack :o FYI, I used the poison mist (jupiter + manticore iirc) against the eye instead of the orbiting ice balls that I see being recommended. I tried both and both are fine but I thought the poison mist was a bit safer. I don't have all the cards so maybe there's something better though. meh.
Ahh, my first Castlevania game as a kid. I guess this game is what caused me to thrive for more challenges. This game was absolutely hard, took some level ups and some good cards to win.
Playing this game again as part of the advance collection has tainted my memory of this game, I always used to claim that this game edged out Harmony of Dissonance but now that Ive played the game again without my nostalgia goggles I can safely say that Circle of the Moon is a piece of shit while Harmony is barely any better than it while Aria of Sorrow is a masterpiece
The second phase of this fight is really tedious and brain dead. You high jump when he rushes you, than stand at the left edge of the left most platform with poison mist and whip when the eye is in range. I managed to beat it without taking a hit.
I just finished it some minutes ago. A great game it is! Now the game has rewarded me with a special magician mode to start anew, with all the cards unlocked! But I suppose anyone knows that by now, XD.
the gameplay itself is already annoying combined with very tough boss and no merchant available in game probably the most challenging castlevania i've ever played
Dracula in this castlevania ain't shit once I learned his strategies and now I can beat him everytime however it's longer but I love a good long fight so epic
The music is annoying AF. Finished it on Advance Collection, rewinding the game when hit. Used the 4 ice balls to get near the flying eye ball and threw some crosses
This is probably the most impressive video these guys have done. 9 minutes without getting touched by THIS boss is a HELL of a challenge!
The second phase of second phase dracula isn't that hard to avoid. Only a klutz would get hit by him

@@tsuyune3443 bruh, i got no brain for the meteors. Not to mention, I just lost my save file on my emulator.
The Advance Collection release brought me here. Wow am I struggling with this boss… and this player doesn’t get touched! Bravo 👏
Dracula and your epic dimensional battles....
Whoever makes these videos is just awesome. Some bosses are easier than others to play without getting hit, but THIS one would be HARD.
This is the most tedious boss fight ive done in years. literally nodding off. just jump 3 times, hope to god you hit the eye even once, repeat 45 times

Definitely one of the harder Dracula's in the recent games. That meteor move is seriously annoying on some of the different modes.

Ashitaka Spiegel
Also the music "proof of blood" is underrated!
Ashitaka Spiegel he doesn't do anything like that moron. Get your ears, eyes and maybe brain checked.
Imagine if this battle were the demon castle war in 1999 an that black hole is the solar eclipse where Dracula finally perish.....
Im fighting dracula now, this is my first castlevania and one of the hardest boss of the series? God help me.
I assume you got the Advance Collection? If you play in order, Harmony of Dissonance is an absolute cake walk
@@LowResCatExplosion nope, i have a cracked 3ds, i already completed all castlevania GBA and now im playing Symphony of the night, great games.
I m with you my first castlevania and my ass burning
Tony Ryan, the music is Proof of blood

If the fight would've been difficult that would be alright but this is not hard, this is tedious.
If you think the NES games are annoying you're just bad at them. Castlevanias I and III are still the best games in the series.
@@moonboot. Castlevania and Dracula's Curse are not even close to some of the hardest NES games. Even if you die you still can retry the stage, you have unlimited continues, you also start at the stairs if you die in the figh against Dracula in the first game.

@@nbHawkeye I didn't say they were hard, I just said they were the best games in the series.
@@moonboot. I know what you meant, Dracula's Curse actually is my favourite Castlevania game.
The Hardest Dracula in the series,no doubt.
Yup!
I'd argue Portrait of Ruin or Dracula X (without the cheap axe strategy). This fight was still hard though.
@@Laihoard1995 Portrait of Ruin is too easy

He is a hard dracula for sure. But I believe OoE dracula was tougher.

Anyone notice that this version of Dracula has the same body parts juste Belmont has to find to free his friend from draculas control and beat Dracula
i never thought of using the super jump in the second phase
I was constantly using rewind in this fight and it still took forever. One of the most difficult games I've ever played.
I love this game so so much, but this is one of the most tedious final boss fights in existence

I didnt know you could spin the whip until this fight
Alziax liar
@@pietroportone6324 how would you know if they're telling the truth or not
@@amateurhorror06 Wait, why would I have said this lol, I don't know why I told this guy liar lmfao
if only i had access to this back then in the early 2000's
Love how the twin dragons can heal but the final boss cant
The Zombie Dragons' only healing is from one cannibalizing the other when the latter is dead.
Plus, it just gets 100 hp back out of 1400
good play! mode ordinaire or hard?
This soundtrack is EPIC!!!

amazing battle, and take a lot of time because he never use power ups or somenting, great battle

How do you activate the dss the one you have to push a certain button with ?
Press L
looks like a black hole in the center lol, that was a hard dracula for real
I'd say it look more like an eclypse.
This is one of the worst final boss fights I've ever seen in a video game.
i love this song.
Dude this seriously one of the worst final bosses in video game history.
Master alucard 😮
Hardest boss in any castlevania game
@Shadowserg Its another language than the one we speak. So its Another Language
Only could beat this bastard with rewind feature
Whats the name of this song?
Proof of blood

Whose playing this game in 2018 ???
Just finished it! Love this game!
This game is awesome I finished it 1 year ago

2021 here
Mutho loko!
the gameplay itself is already annoying combined with very tough boss and no merchant available in game
probably the most challenging castlevania i've ever played
However designed this boss doesn't understand game design
Dracula in this castlevania ain't shit once I learned his strategies and now I can beat him everytime however it's longer but I love a good long fight so epic
Like a I Wanna Be The Belmont as i see the patron
Bowser
Is it me or does this fight seem easier than some of the ones before it.
Cowboycomando54 This is in no way easier than Hugh, Carmilla or Death.
Maybe Dragon Zombies, tho.
That Dracula is the easiest last boss ever, to be fair... Bowser was hardder than this.
@Shadowserg i wanna learn russian...
no modo ladrao e 20 vezes mais dificil
what type of damage does the meteor shower do
Stone element. I wish I was kidding.
Yup Stone. Neptune+Cockatrice absorbs it
ei boy es xastlevania pega em zsnes
Terrible boss fight, one of the worst I've ever done
The music is annoying AF. Finished it on Advance Collection, rewinding the game when hit. Used the 4 ice balls to get near the flying eye ball and threw some crosses
I hated this game, graphics sucked, but the music was awesome! I liked Dracula Twins better :P
