They helped me get passed them. Good Luck! Also, I'm hoping to eventually, make a guide for each boss, for each of the modes: vampire killer, magician, fighter, shooter, and thief. (thief will probably just be the same as vampire killer) *********************************************************************** Table of Contents 1. Cerberus A. Vampire Killer Mode/Thief Mode B.

Special Thanks *********************************************************************** 1. Cerberus (level 5+) ************ A. When battling Cerberus, you want to have full hearts, and I also recomend Holy Water. Also, before you battle him, you want to equip your strongest armor, and if you can, have some potions with you. Now, when you battling him, you want to turn on your strongest whip attack, either fire whip or rose whip, and just whip him and throw Holy Water at him. When he flashes, that means he's getting ready to attack, so be ready to dodge. He has a couple of attacks. If he flashes red, that means he is going to shoot a laser, so if you can, get under or behind him and attack him. If he flashes blue, that means he is either going to pounce or shoot electric charges. I found that if you put youself right in front of him when he pounces, he'll jump right over you and then you don't even get a scratch. After you defeat him, go get double, so that you can double jump all you want! B. When battling Cerberus in Magician mode, things are a little bit harder. Since you life is extremely low, and you dont deal as much damage, you'll have to use magic. The way I killed him was pretty cheap, but this is what I suggest you do if you can't do it with any other of your magics. Just turn into a skeleton and throw bones at him until you throw a super bone at him. Kills him in one hit, works like a charm. Remember though, that if your about to be hit, quick change back to normal so you dont get dealt 9999 damage. C. HAHAHA....this was soooo easy. When you go into battle, have a nice supply of hearts, and the holy water. What you want to do is chuck two holy waters at him, then whip him. When he flashes, he's going to do an attack, so be ready. When he jumps up on the platform and does the laser, just get behind him and whip him. This boss should'nt be too hard for you. Just put it this way..I lost NO life while battling him. *********************************************************************** 2. Necromancer (level 10+) ************** A. In my opinion, Necromancer can be one of the hardest enemies in the game!(besides Dracula)). So, you better have you levels pretty high before you fight him. Again, before you fight him, have full hearts, but this time, have the crucifix instead of Holy Water. Now, turn on anything that will make you stronger, like the rose whip, and enter. Now, jump up on the platform and watch out for his little energy orbs, and whip him and throw crucifixes at him. When he teleports little enemies to the ground, jump down there and kill them by sliding...cus you'll need to use the floor later. After you defeat his first form, he'll turn into what looks like a flying skeleton. Use the same strategy, except when he turns into a flying orb, jump anywhere you can to get out of its way, cus it'll deal you quite some damage. When you get closer and closer to killing him, he'll start turning into the orb more and more, so watch out. After you kill him, go get tackle. B. Ok, I got emails from like 3 people giving me this explanation, which is, I might add, really good. All you have to do, is when you go into battle, turn on Neptune + Black Dog, that way, any damage he tries do deal, won't hurt you at all. Just beat him up and get the battle over with. C. This boss also is extremely easy in fighter mode. All you need to do is go up to him and whip him, ocassionally throwing crucifixes at him. Trust me, he'll be dead in no time, and you'll still have over half your life! *********************************************************************** 3. Iron Golem (level 15+) ************* A. In my opinion, this is the easiest boss in the game. All you have to do, is equip DSS so that your strengh is higher, and again whip him and use crucifixes. Just watch out for when he pounds the ground, jump when he does that, otherwise you'll get hurt. Also watch out for the gears that fall down from the ceiling. After you defeat him (which shouldn't be that tough) go get your kick boots! B. I did the same with this boss as I did with the first, just turn into a skeleton and throw bones, until you hit him with the ultra bone. Just remember that if your about to be hit, quick change back to normal so that you dont get killed in one hit. C. Ok, this also was an easy boss. All you want is to have crucifix, and some hearts. Now what you want to do, is whip him and throw crucifixes at him. When he pounds the ground, jump, and then brandish your whip when you land so no gears hit you. Also, watch out for his punch thing. Just keep whipping him and throwing crucifixes until he's dead. *********************************************************************** 4. Adremelech (level 20+) ************* A. By the time you get to this boss, have the Jupiter + Golem combination (you get 4x invinciblitiy when your hit), otherwise my guide to this guy won't do you much good. What you do is turn that on, and that way when you get hit with the flying skulls or the fireballs, your invincible through the rest of the group, then, after you get hit, whip crucifixes at his head, and whip him. Do this as much as you can until he's dead. Keep in mind that if your life is getting low, use potions or meats before you die! B. I thought this guy was pretty tough in Magician Mode. What I did, is turned on the Uranus + Thunderbird combo. Then, I would whip crucifixes at him until he started one of his attacks, and then did the thunderbird summon. If you gettin low on life, turn on the Uranus + White Unicorn combination to gain life. Keep on throwing crucifixes and doing the thunderbird summon until he's dead. C. Ok, for this one, you'll just need to take alot of damage. Make sure you have the crucifix, and a nice supply of hearts. Enter the battle, and whip him and throw crucifixes. Try to jump the skulls, and dodge the fire he shools at you. Also, make sure that you destroy the little bubbles that pop up from the ground. Don't worry too much about getting hit unless your life is really, REALLY low. *********************************************************************** 5. Dragon Zombie (level 25+) **************** A. This boss is not one, but two dragons. He is pretty easy, just make sure you have max hearts, crucifix, Jupiter card, and salamander card before you face him. What you want to do is turn on you fire shield, and then stand on the platform in between the two dragons and throw crucifixes over, and over, and over until one of them is dead.(focus on one at a time). After you defeat one of the minions, turn to the other and do the same. If your magic runs low during in the battle, and you need it to recharge, go to the alcove at the exit door, they shouldn't be able to hit you there. That is the best, and easiest way to defeat him. B. Beating this boss isn't very hard in magician mode, but if your careless, YOU WILL DIE...So, what you want to do is walk in there, with you Uranus + Cockatrice DSS equipped. Then, jump up on the platform and do the summon as many times as you can (until your HP is about 25% or you MP is gone). When one of these two things happens, go to the alcove by the exit door. Just sit there and let your MP fill up, while healing yourself with the Uranus + Unicorn DSS combo. Once your HP and MP are full, go back to the platform between the two Dragons, and do the Cockatrice summon until they are both dead. C. What you want to do against this boss, is stand up on the platform between them so that your level with their heads and throw crucifixes so that they hit one dragon, and come back and hit the other. Also, try to whip them every once and a while. There's not much to this boss. If you die, just keep trying. *********************************************************************** 6. Death (level 30+) ********* A. This is death, the only enemy besides dracula thats been in EVERY Castlevania. When facing Death, make sure you have the Manticore + Jupiter card combination, max hearts, and the crucifix. When you enter, turn on the poisen shield to block the debris that come down at you. Then jump up and whip the first form as much as you can, and watch out for the arm things that shoot out at you, they deal plenty of damage. Also watch out for the balls of electricity he shoots, but those are pretty easy to dodge. (the poisen shield should also deal repeated damage to him, so that will help). Then, after you defeat his first form, he turns into that crawling skeleton monster. Just whip tons of crucifixes at it and whip it and it will eventually die. Watch out for its ground shake attack though, all you have to do is jump before it hits the ground. B. This one is a pretty simple concept....mostly. What you want to do is go in there with full hearts, crucifix, max mp, max hp etc. etc. Then what you want to do is start the battle out by either using your holy shield (jupiter + white unicorn) or by using your thunderbird summon (uranus + thunderbird). If you choose the shield, then what you want to do is throw crucixes at him and whip him until your out of hearts, then switch to the summon. If you start out with the summon, you use the summon until you run out of MP, then you turn on your shield and go for the crucifix and whip thing. His first form will do three things. One, little debris will fall from the ceiling, watch out for those.(use you shield to block those, if you using the summon, make sure you do repeated summons, with almost no break in between so that you cannot be hit.) Two, he'll shoot electric orbs at you, they're not hard to dodge at all. And three, he'll shoot spears at you. They too, are also pretty easy to dodge. After you beat his first form, he'll turn into a crawling skeleton monster that does a flailing arm attack, a ground shake attack, and again, the debris from the ceiling. You know how to counter the debris. To dodge the flailing arms, just don't get too close to him. And for the ground shake attack, jump before he hits the ground. Just keep using the tactics that you used for the first form on the second form until it is defeated. C. There are two main parts to this boss. 1: Keep moving, so that the little debris from the ceiling don't hit you. And 2: Have the crucifix, and lots of hearts. When the battle starts, just whip Death, and occasionally throw crucifixes at him. Watch out for the spears he shoots out at you, and also for the energy orbs he shoot. Once you defeat his first form, walk up the the crawling thing, and whip crucifixes like crazy. Just keep throwing them until he is dead, its the easiest part on this whole boss. *********************************************************************** 7. Camilla (level 35+) ********** A. When you face Camilla, make sure you have max hearts, crucifix, and the Jupiter + Serpent or Jupiter + Cockatrice DSS combination. When the fight starts, go back to the entrance and turn on one of the two shields to block the bubbles she shoots at you, and then when she comes close to you, throw crucifixes at her and whip her. When she starts to float away, jump the the next platform (the high one right next to the entryway) and throw somemore crucifixes at her, then stay there until she does the laser beam, or water blast. After she does one of those attacks, go back to the entryway and wait for her to come back. When she comes back, to the same process. Repeat this process until Camilla is dead. B. Ok, thank LordDamien27 for this one. When the battle starts, turn on invincibility (white unicorn + pluto), and wait until she is about to do the laser. Right before the laser starts, jump into the alcove behind her and turn on the skeleton (black dog + pluto), and start chucking bones until you hit her with a big one. (if you don't get a big one the first time, just turn invincibility on and wait for the laser again and then try again. C. This one was a bit hard for me (possibly cus I was at level 22?). Anyway, what I did is when the battle started, I jumped into the entrance alcove, and spun my whip to pop the bubbles. When she got close, I threw a crucifix or two at her do deal some nice damage. Then, when she went over to the other side to do the laser, I jumped up to the platform next to the door, and spun my whip to avoid bubbles, and the laser. After the laser was finished, I jumped back to the alcove, and repeated the process. Do this until she is dead. (keep in mind, you can take a LOT of damage in this mode) *********************************************************************** 8. Hugh (level 45+) ******* A. For this battle, you want to equip the Uranus + Cockatrice DSS so you can do the Cockatrice summon. Just keep doing the summon until he is dead.(it should only take 2 times). ::Alternate:: If you do not have those combinations, all you have to do, is run around and attack him, throwing crucifixes every once in a while. When your life gets low, use the rock wing to fly up to the corners, and regenerate your life with the Jupiter + Mandragora. If you see those little knifes coming at you, duck and spin your whip. Repeat this process until he is dead. B. Alright, this is a little tougher (at least it was for me, cus I was only level 28). Anyway, turn on the thunderbird summon (Uranus + Thunderbird) and start the battle. Jump in the air, and do the summon while in air, so when the summon is over, you'll have time to jump so you don't land on Hugh. If your life gets low during battle, there are ledges in the top left and right of the room that he shouldn't be able to hit you at, where you can use the unicorn summon (Uranus + White Unicorn) to regain your life. There is one attack that CAN hit you, but if your doing the summon, it won't. After you regain your life, just jump down there and do the summon some more times. Eventually he will die, and you can get the last key! C. Before you go to this battle, be AT LEAST level 33 - 35 (depending on how good you are). And, have platinum armor(or better), and two double grips equipped.(you can get those items from dark armors. When you enter the battle, there is no strategy that you can really use. But what I did alot, is when he chases you, jump over him, and slash him in the back. Also, use crucifixes alot, seeing as they hit him twice(usually), and deal more damage than your whip. Just keep hacking away at him until he is dead. *********************************************************************** 9. Dracula (level 50+) ********** A. Dracula's first form- For this battle, you want to equip the Uranus + Cockatrice DSS so you can do the Cockatrice summon. Just keep doing the summon until he is dead.(it should only take 2 times) Dracuala's second form- For Dracula's second form, you want to turn on your poisen shield (Jupiter + Cockatrice), so he can't hit you with the poisen bubbles, and if he does, just use an antidote. First, jump up on the platform right next to him, and wait for him to teleport up to you. Now, you want to hit him in the eye on his chest when it opens, watch out for his laser and his comet attack also, especially his comet attack. When his eye opens, throw crucifixes and whip it as much as you can before it closes, and then wait for him to dissapear and come back and do it again, when he flashes red, use your roc wing as quick as you can to get to the top of the "arena" and keep jumping to stay up there, cus He will do this repeated charge attack. You can hear a sharp sound every time he does it, when the sharp sounds quit happening (they happen about every 5 seconds I think, and I think he does it about 4 times) drop down to the platform and turn on the Uranus + Thunderbird combination. When you see the eyeball surrounded by bats come on screen, do the summon and then go back to the top of the arena and stay up there until those sharp sounds finish (because after you hit the eyeball, he'll change back to normal and do the charge attack again) and jump down and do the same thing. Keep doing this until you beat him. Congrats! You just beat the game! B. Dracula's First form- For this form, I did the same thing that I did in Vampire killer mode, except I used the Thunderbird summon (Uranus + Thunderbird)(you may be able to use cockatrice summon, but I'm not sure yet, because I haven't tried it). If you get low on life during this battle, just use the Unicorn summon in place of the Thunderbird summon to regain your life. After you regain your life, go back to the Thunderbird summon. Dracula's Second form- For this form, you want to jump up on the platform right away, with the COCKATRICE (Uranus + Cockatrice) summon turned on. When he does any of his attacks (except poisen bubble), do the summon. When he does poisen bubble (you can tell when he's gunna do it, cus the mouths on his feet shine), brandish you whip, so that all the bubbles are destroyed, then get a few hits off with your whip. After he starts blinking red, turn on your invincibility DSS (Pluto + White Unicorn), so that his charge attack won't hit you. When he does around four charges, and turns into the eyeball surrounded by bats, turn on the Thunderbird summon (Uranus + Thunderbird), and when the eye comes on the screen, do the summon once, and then turn on invincibility again until he does the charge attacks all over again and turns back into the eye surrounded by bats. Then repeat the process over and over untill he is dead. C. Dracula's First Form- This form wasn't that hard if you ask me. What you want to do, is wait until he is just shooting the bats, and jump behind him, and hit him with you whip a couple of times. Another thing that I found quite effective, is waiting until you see the beam of light, and then throw a crucifix, so that it does the turn around, right over where he is. This way, it will hit him several times...not only twice. It should only take a couple of hits to kill him, not many. *********************************************************************** 10.
