Bestiary FAQ

v1.5 01/06/2007

================================[ Description ]================================

This guide is a complete bestiary listing, with all item drops and the
locations of each monster.

As for the damage types listed, weapons generally fall into one of three major
categories:

Blunt: Maces, Fists
Piercing: Daggers, Swords, Greatswords, Spears, Axes
Whip: Whips (duh)

There are a few special cases, for example the Bahg Nahk (both blunt and
piercing) and the Rose Stem Whip (both whip and piercing). A list of each
weapon's attributes can be found under Guides -> Items -> Weapons in the main
menu.

An [S] icon next to a drop indicates that it is a skill and not equipment.

Rarity ratings range from · (common) to @@@@@ (super rare). Details in the
Drop Percentages section.

TODO: enemy locations

===============================[ Area Listing ]================================

Entrance - left side of Dracula's Castle
Buried Chamber - bottom of Dracula's Castle
Great Stairway - middle/lower right side of Dracula's Castle
Tower of Death - upper right side of Dracula's Castle
Master's Keep - top of Dracula's Castle
The Throne Room - final staircase and throne room

City of Haze - first town portrait, far left of castle
Sandy Grave - first desert portrait, far right of castle
Nation of Fools - first circus portrait, middle of castle
Forest of Doom - first forest portrait, closer to top of castle

13th Street - second town portrait, below throne room
Forgotten City - second desert portrait, below throne room
Burnt Paradise - second circus portrait, below throne room
Dark Academy - second forest portrait, below throne room

Nest of Evil - after completing quest "The Nest of Evil", below drawbridge
* This area is divided up into a number of floors or that are essentially boss
rush rounds. You can't leave until you finish an entire round, but there is
a transporter after each one. Any monsters found in the nest of evil will
have a number next to the area, designating the floors on which the enemy
shows up.

===================================[ Luck ]====================================

If you want a better chance of getting item drops, you need more Luck.
Charlotte has by far the best equipment for boosting Luck, as well as the
highest natural Luck stat. In order to get the most out of her, you should have
the following equipped:

Body: Princess Coat (+10), drops from #107 Nyx
Head: Princess Tiara (+7), in Forgotten City 4 squares below boss save room
Legs: Glass Shoes (+5), buy from shop for $5,000 after clearing 3 portraits
Acc1: Thief Ring, complete quest "King of Birds"
Acc2: Thief Ring, New Game+, quest reward glitch or buy from someone else
Magic: Luck Boost (+60), complete quest "Number of Fortune"

Have Charlotte as your main character and cast a fully charged Luck Boost for
+60 (regular only gives you +30). It doesn't matter which character actually
kills the enemy so long as Charlotte is your main character.

Also, you can get a permanent +50 Luck for beating Hard Mode. Good luck!

===============================[ Nest of Evil ]================================

Some enemies only show up in the Nest of Evil, and it's a pain trying to get an
item drop from one of them if you have to fight through an entire round each
time. Fortunately, you don't. Simply Suspend your game in a non-boss room, then
resume it, and all the enemies will reset.

=============================[ Drop Percentages ]==============================

Even though there are so many item drops in the game, there are actually only
15 different percentages possible for any given Luck stat. Unfortunately, they
are different for every Luck stat, so I can't just put down a single number by
each drop. However, I have gone to the trouble of calculating a formula for
each set of percentages that, if you plug in your current Luck stat and round
to two decimal places, will give you the percent chance that the item will
drop for you. Repeating the formula would get messy, so instead I've given each
drop a rarity rating, with · being common and @@@@@ being super rare.

Here are the formulas you can use to calculate the actual drop percentage from
a rarity rating and your Luck stat:

· : 0.375 *LCK + 19.5275
* : 0.15 *LCK + 7.81
@ : 0.105 *LCK + 5.4625
@· : 0.09 *LCK + 4.68
@* : 0.0825*LCK + 4.29125
@@ : 0.075 *LCK + 3.90
@@· : 0.0675*LCK + 3.51125
@@* : 0.06 *LCK + 3.12
@@@ : 0.0525*LCK + 2.72875
@@@· : 0.045 *LCK + 2.3375
@@@* : 0.0375*LCK + 1.95
@@@@ : 0.03 *LCK + 1.56
@@@@·: 0.0225*LCK + 1.16625
@@@@*: 0.015 *LCK + 0.7775
@@@@@: 0.0075*LCK + 0.38625

Note: Drop percentages are capped at 50%.

Math note: Although the drop percentages in the in-game list are displayed to
two decimal places, most of them are rounded off. This means that there is a
range of intercept values to choose from that, when rounded, will still give
you the same numbers from the game. When this is the case, I have chosen the
intercept that produces an average variance of zero over all generated values.
The actual intercept could in all possibility be a number with fewer decimal
places, but these are the most "correct" numbers I can come up with without
delving into the game code itself.

=================================[ Bestiary ]==================================

001 [Zombie] | 8 HP | 2 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Holy, Petrify
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@*Rotten Meat, @@@·Hobo's Clothes
Area: Entrance, City of Haze
Desc: An animated corpse.
Note: When dealt fire damage, turns into a Skeleton. In an area where lots
of these spawn, kill enough of them and Wights will show up.

002 [Bat] | 1 HP | 1 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Piercing
Area: Entrance, City of Haze, Buried Chamber
Desc: A bloodsucking bat that lurks in the castle.
Note: These little buggers home in on you pretty efficiently, plus they
blend into the background of the areas they appear, so they may prove
more annoying than in previous Castlevanias.

003 [Skeleton] | 10 HP | 3 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@·[S]Summon Skeleton
Area: Entrance, City of Haze, Sandy Grave
Desc: A skeletal corpse controlled by magic.
Note: Your standard bone-throwing undead. Time your swing right to hit the
arcing projectile just as it leaves his hand and he won't be any
problem. He's got a cousin later on where this timing becomes more
important, so practice now.

004 [Axe Armor] | 28 HP | 4 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Lightning
Strn: Ice
Drop: @@*Copper Plate, @@*[S]Axe
Area: Entrance, City of Haze
Desc: A zombie warrior in heavy armor, equipped with a devastating axe.
Note: Standard attack consists of whirling axe that flies out in front of
him and returns, so keep an eye on it or it will catch you in the
back. You can knock these out of the air with any hit, though, so
they aren't too much trouble when faced alone. Problem is, this game
likes to put a lot of axe throwers in one spot. The axes can either
come high or low, and he telegraphs which way he will throw by either
reaching like he's going to throw a baseball or roll a bowling ball
before the projectile appears. Plan accordingly to dodge or knock it
down.

005 [Death Mask] | 20 HP | 10 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: City of Haze
Desc: A demon who flies about, wearing the face of a dead human.
Note: These things move slowly and go down fast, but they have a nasty
projectile attack if you don't take them out quickly. Only a problem
very early on if you don't attack them fast enough.

006 [Zacchino] | 35 HP | 9 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@Hero's Cape, @@@*Cutlass
Area: City of Haze
Desc: A stylish and sociable demon who is quite attentive to the ladies.
Note: The description should be a hint for you; approach him as Charlotte
and you will be greeted with a bouquet of roses, while Jonathan gets
a surprisingly quick rapier to the chest. Try approaching him as
Charlotte then walking away for another amusing line.

007 [Student Witch] | 42 HP | 10 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Poison, Curse, Petrify
Drop: @@·Cotton Apron, @@@·Witch's Hat
Area: City of Haze (secret area under 2nd building), Forest of Doom, Dark
Academy
Desc: An immature witch who's still learning her spells.
Note: Well if she just isn't the cutest thing ever. She isn't very good at
being a witch yet, so she can only make short, wobbly flights on the
broomstick and try to bop you with it over the head. Not much of a
threat.

008 [Slinger] | 19 HP | 9 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: City of Haze, Entrance
Desc: A skeleton that attacks by throwing his own ribs.
Note: Throws ribs in an arc downwards. Keep your distance or dive bomb him
and you can avoid his attack.

009 [Mini Devil] | 10 HP | 11 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@*Tonic
Area: City of Haze
Desc: A small demon who makes up for his size in ferocity and malevolence.
Note: These things teleport in and can't be hit until they fully appear, so
try and learn their timing so you can swing just as they appear. They
move around quickly after that and summon wind blades, so it's easier
to take them out just as they become vulnerable while they're still
motionless.

010 [Mud Man] | 20 HP | 8 EXP | 1 SP
Area: Buried Chamber
Desc: A figure made of mud, imbued with a tormented soul.
Note: As you can see by the empty entry, not very interesting. Crawls
around and comes on-screen in a similar fashion to Zombies and
Ghouls, but there's no Mega Mud Man or anything, sorry.

011 [Merman] | 35 HP | 13 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire, Lightning, Curse, Petrify
Strn: Ice
Drop: @@@@Meuniere
Area: Buried Chamber
Desc: Half fish, half man, and all monster. It hunts prey near the water.
Note: Fires a water gun, but not very dangerous. Just mow them down on your
way through.

012 [Une] | 10 HP | 5 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Petrify
Strn: Lightning
Drop: @@*Strawberry
Area: Buried Chamber
Desc: An eerie plant that feeds on blood.
Note: These things are hard to spot before you end up stepping on them, as
they only unfurl when you get close to them. They don't even sprout
more of their kind like in earlier games; they just flap around in
vain. Put them out of their misery.

013 [Skull Archer] | 40 HP | 16 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Buried Chamber, Great Stairway
Desc: An archer made of bone.
Note: Weak, but those arrows fly pretty fast. Try to keep out of a direct
horizontal line with it and you should be fine.

014 [Ukoback] | 16 HP | 19 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Ice, Petrify
Strn: Fire
Area: Great Stairway
Desc: A burning demon who likes to play with fire.
Note: Don't leave it alone for too long, as it sets fires that linger for
quite a while. You can put them out with a swipe of your weapon.

015 [Forneus] | 44 HP | 13 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@*Paella
Area: City of Haze
Desc: A demonic sea-creature from the oceans of the underworld.
Note: It's a big floating jellyfish thingy. Touching the tentacles doesn't
seem to shock you, though.

016 [Peeping Eye] | 21 HP | 15 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing
Drop: @@@@@Eye for Decay
Area: City of Haze
Desc: A creature that keeps watch in the castle.
Note: The Eye of Decay is a super rare drop for a reason; it points out any
secret areas or breakable blocks as you walk past them so long as one
of your characters is wearing it and on-screen. The eye itself hasn't
changed much from previous iterations. Just floats around and stares
at you.

017 [Skull Bartender] | 50 HP | 20 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @·Tropical Sundae
Area: City of Haze (secret area under 2nd building)
Desc: His Bloody Mary is to die for. Just ask Mary.
Note: Only shows up in room across from the Bakery. He's kinda cute and he
talks to you, but watch out for his drink toss attack; it deals a lot
of damage when you're at a low level.

018 [Wight] | 44 HP | 30 EXP | 4 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: *Poncho, *Penters Natural
Area: City of Haze, outdoor area between second and third building
Desc: A powerful undead being, born from a rotting zombie.
Note: Find in a room with respawning Zombies after killing many of them.
They're dark blue and move much faster than normal Zombies, so be
ready to dodge.

019 [Frozen Shade] | 50 HP | 19 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Fire, Holy, Petrify
Strn: Ice, Dark
Drop: @@*Inuit Boots
Area: Buried Chamber
Desc: A wraith that can freeze the air.
Note: Breathes cold air and forms an ice shield, but normally these enemies
are too high up for you to be particularly troubled. The attack to
watch out for is the three ice needles. She'll form them and then
pause for a second before firing them off one by one in your
direction, so take that time to knock them out of the air before she
can use them.

020 [Andras] | 70 HP | 17 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Drop: @·Biker's Jacker, @@Falchion
Area: City of Haze
Desc: A demon who rides a wolf and carries a flaming sword.
Note: Stabs out with the flaming sword if you stand in front of it for too
long, so either take it out quickly or jump back after a few hits to
avoid its stab.

021 [Invisible Man] | 75 HP | 32 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@*Melon
Area: Buried Chamber, Entrance
Desc: A magician who gained invisibility, but gave up his soul in return.
Note: Takes a second after removing his trenchcoat, but becomes remarkably
fast and aggressive afterwards. Not good when you can't really see
what he's doing. If you see one of these on screen, quickly run up
and smack him before he can begin his lunge.

022 [Golem] | 90 HP | 40 EXP | 0 SP
Weak: Blunt
Strn: Piercing
Drop: @@@·Tough Ring
Area: Buried Chamber
Desc: A powerful golem created by infusing special stones with magical
life.
Note: Can throw punches and spit fireballs, but you can take it out quickly
enough to prevent either of these attacks.

023 [Persephone] | 60 HP | 35 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Holy, Poison, Petrify
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@*Frilly Camisole, @@@@Pudding Bucket
Area: Great Stairway
Desc: The count's demonic maid. She seems to have bought a new vacuum
cleaner.
Note: Tries to vacuum you up to stun you before unleashing her martial arts
moves on you. Let Charlotte get vacuumed at least once just to show
her reaction, though. Jonathan doesn't do anything particularly
interesting in the same situation.

024 [Mimic] | 99 HP | 38 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire, Curse, Petrify
Drop: @@*Abalone Brooch
Area: Great Stairway, Sandy Grave
Desc: A creature that disguises itself as treasure, then awaits its prey.
Note: Back in DoS there were a few chests that actually contained money,
but I don't think any do in this game. Thankfully, none of the cash
bags contain skulls. So you can be pretty sure that if it's not
already lying around in plain sight, it's actually a monster. Jumps
a considerable distance with what appear to be frog legs, so make
quick work of it or stab and backdash to avoid its leap.

025 [Larva] | 9 HP | 6 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Blunt, Whip, Piercing, Dark
Area: Great Stairway, Entrance
Desc: A spirit with the head of a man and the body of a worm.
Note: Only its head is vulnerable. It's quite weak, though.

026 [Lerajie] | 72 HP | 42 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Drop: @·Amethyst Corset, @·[S]Ricochet Rock
Area: Great Stairway, Nation of Fools
Desc: An evil hunter. Uses ricocheting bullets to kill from afar.
Note: Pretty fun enemy. She fires a sniper rifle that bounces off of walls,
but it shows you the path with a laser line for a second or two
before she fires. Have fun playing infiltration spy.

027 [Spittle Bone] | 10 HP | 33 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Sandy Grave, Entrance
Desc: A four-legged skeleton that crawls on walls.
Note: Shoots out fire as it crawls around walls. Careful when it turns
corners, as the flame can jump to its new orientation suddenly. Try
to whack it during one of its pauses, or from an angle where you're
out of the range of its flamethrower.

028 [Ghost] | 8 HP | 9 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Blunt, Whip, Piercing, Dark
Drop: @@@@[S]Summon Ghost
Area: Sandy Grave, Forgotten City
Desc: A small spirit doomed to wander the castle grounds for all eternity.
Note: Very resistant to physical attacks, so have Charlotte roast these
with the Don Quixote you should have picked up before the Keremet
fight.

029 [Red Skeleton] | 1 HP | 127 EXP | 5 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Sandy Grave, Forgotten City
Desc: A skeleton warrior that has absorbed blood. It can regenerate.
Note: Can only be defeated with Undead Killer or Sanctuary.

030 [Armor Knight] | 60 HP | 48 EXP | 3 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Lightning
Strn: Ice
Drop: @Long Spear, @·[S]Javelin
Area: Sandy Grave, Nation of Fools, Burnt Paradise
Desc: An armored zombie warrior who carries a spear.
Note: Can extend the spear quite a long distance upwards and downwards, and
a respectable distance sideways. Move through these danger zones
quickly and attack after he has already extended his spear.

031 [Ectoplasm] | 10 HP | 36 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Blunt, Whip, Piercing, Dark
Drop: @@Uncurse Potion, @@*[S]Cure Curse
Area: Sandy Grave, Forgotten City
Desc: A substance created by souls who cannot find rest.
Note: Causes curse, so don't touch. They don't move particularly fast, so
that shouldn't be too difficult.

032 [Bone Pillar] | 100 HP | 23 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Sandy Grave
Desc: The skulls of dinosaurs, animated by a demonic force.
Note: Breathes fire and shoots fireballs. The eyes always light up right
before an attack, so jump out of the way or run back before you get
hit. Unfortunately they're always stacked, so you can't always jump
to avoid getting hit.

033 [Fleaman] | 15 HP | 19 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Curse, Petrify
Drop: @@@@Fedora, @@@@*Pancake
Area: Sandy Grave, Nation of Fools, Dark Academy, Forgotten City
Desc: A sinister little man who leaps about as if he were a flea.
Note: Nasty little bugger. Hops around erratically and moves quickly.
Try to stay a good distance away and poke at him when he jumps
closer, as he'll often hop in place a few times before moving again.

034 [Great Armor] | 240 HP | 120 EXP | 4 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Lightning
Strn: Ice
Drop: @@*Iron Plate, @@@·Great Sword
Area: Great Stairway, Entrance
Desc: A heavily-armored knight who commands other armored warriors.
Note: Can be found two squares right and two up from the save room by the
Behemoth arena (an area that is accessible from above) and in the
short peninsula directly above the Sandy Grave peninsula. Huge but
slow, so dodge when you see him rear back to attack.

035 [Catoblepas] | 120 HP | 60 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Drop: @@*Milk, @@@@Tasty Meat
Area: Great Stairway, between the Keremet room and the Sandy Grave portrait
Desc: This ox-like beast's breath turns living things to stone.
Note: Can be found 1 square up and 6 left from the Buried Sands save room.
Its mouth starts to smoke before it breathes a cloud of petrifying
gas, so jump up onto its back and behind it before you get hit.

036 [Slime] | 20 HP | 45 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Fire, Ice, Lightning
Strn: Blunt, Whip, Piercing
Area: Buried Chamber, Nation of Fools
Desc: A creature made of a slimy gel. Resistant to physical attacks.
Note: Has a new attack where it bunches up and strikes at you, so you have
to keep more distance this time around. Stay out from directly under
it or next to it, as it has a tendency to hop off the wall and onto
you in those situations.

037 [Mummy] | 64 HP | 24 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Holy, Petrify
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@@Stone Mask
Area: Sandy Grave, Forgotten City
Desc: A mummified warrior, buried in a tomb to protect his king.
Note: Kill it quickly or it can shoot its wrappings at you.

038 [Dragon Zombie] | 350 HP | 150 EXP | 5 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@Gladius, @@*Zweihander
Area: Buried Chamber (once only), Sandy Grave
Desc: A zombie dragon. It lost its magic, but has become mindlessly
violent.
Note: Has some powerful attacks, including a lunging bite and a breath
attack. It's difficult to dodge, but if you can keep a safe distance
and use projectiles or long-range weapons you should be able to
handle it.

039 [Killer Clown] | 110 HP | 65 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Poison, Petrify
Drop: @*Joker, @@·Hamburger
Area: Nation of Fools
Desc: A murderous clown who's popular at demon birthday parties.
Note: Throws cards at you. Not very dangerous.

040 [Coppelia] | 80 HP | 54 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Poison, Petrify
Drop: @*Diamond, @@·Clown Shirt
Area: Nation of Fools
Desc: An acrobat from hell that entertains demons.
Note: If you leave her alone for too long she'll throw knives diagonally
downward (from her perspective), but she takes a long time to perform
the attack.

041 [Hanged Bones] | 80 HP | 10 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Nation of Fools (best place is directly right of south transporter)
Desc: A skeleton that sways like a swing.
Note: Swings back and forth and breathes fire. Attack it while it's
swinging away from you, as it will be easier to dodge the fire that
way.

042 [Flying Skull] | 10 HP | 15 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@*Glasses
Area: Sandy Grave, Entrance
Desc: A skull that flies through the air.
Note: Pretty much like the Ghost. Floats around slowly.

043 [Sand Worm] | 250 HP | 100 EXP | 5 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Strn: Blunt
Area: Sandy Grave
Desc: An enormous worm that lurks in the ground to snare its prey.
Note: The walls of its pit slowly pull you down, so keep jumping up to stay
in place. It helps to have a quick weapon so you can keep moving.
Get right up next to it and stab away, as you can stay out of its
lunging range. Always try to sink through the quicksand left after
defeating a worm - you never know what might be down there.

044 [White Dragon] | 80 HP | 110 EXP | 4 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Sandy Grave, Nation of Fools
Desc: The bones of a long-necked dinosaur, animated by a demonic force.
Note: Waves around a few times before either lunging fully extended or
shooting flames like a sprinkler. Either get under its base and hit
it when it fully extends, or if you're feeling aggressive, get up
in front of it and try to follow it while attacking. If you take too
long, though, its lunge is fast and its flamethrower covers a wide
swath.

045 [Amphisbaena] | 266 HP | 94 EXP | 3 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Strn: Blunt
Drop: @@*Pearl Tiara, @@*Ruby Corset
Area: Sandy Grave (best place is 2 squares below top transporter)
Desc: A double-headed snake. Its name means "able to move in both
directions."
Note: This enemy was easy in SotN and it's easy here. Just keep hitting it
and it will keep screaming and backing up. I kinda feel sorry for it.

046 [Elgiza] | 168 HP | 133 EXP | 5 SP
Drop: @@*Kalasiris, @@@·Uraeus
Area: Sandy Grave, Forgotten City
Desc: A guardian of treasure.
Note: Stay back and stab at its hands until they dissolve. It has a
tendency to bellyflop if you get too close, and you don't want to be
under it when it falls. Once the arms are gone you will have a much
easier time reaching its head, which is its only damage spot.

047 [Great Ghost] | 66 HP | 240 EXP | 9 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Blunt, Whip, Piercing, Dark
Area: Sandy Grave
Desc: An enormous phantom.
Note: Find in a room with respawning Ghosts after killing many of them.
Slow-moving and doesn't have a ton of health, so I've never seen its
attack.

048 [Devil Wheel] | 55 HP | 56 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@Coffee
Area: Sandy Grave, Nation of Fools, Forgotten City
Desc: A demonically-possessed wheel that is obsessed with speed.
Note: Often meanders around at a slow pace, but it can also show up
burning rubber and moving quickly, so be wary when approaching it.

049 [Crossbow Armor] | 111 HP | 95 EXP | 3 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Lightning
Strn: Ice
Drop: @@@·Silver Plate, @@@@[S]Crossbow
Area: Sandy Grave (near top right), Great Stairway, Tower of Death (top)
Desc: An armored warrior equipped with a crossbow and exploding bolts.
Note: Either jump over its explosive bolts or learn the timing and hit them
out of the air, because they do a ton of damage. It takes a long time
to reload, though.

050 [Lilith] | 83 HP | 76 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Holy, Poison, Petrify
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@·Silent Sandals, @@@@Lilith Corset
Area: Entrance, Great Stairway, Forest of Doom
Desc: An enchanting demon who deludes her victims with mystifying beauty.
Note: If she starts exuding hearts, watch out, because she's about to throw
a curse. Keep out from in front of her during this attack and she's
not very dangerous, though. You can petrify her, too.

051 [Skeleton Flail] | 80 HP | 75 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@*Morning Star
Area: Great Stairway, Tower of Death
Desc: A skeleton warrior armed with a flail.
Note: Brandishes flail over its shoulder a few seconds before flipping it
back in front of you. Use this time to destroy it before it can
swing.

052 [Skeleton Gunman] | 50 HP | 54 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy

Note: They are weak, but always hunt in packs. With a greatsword or the
Boomerang subweapon you can usually break them apart from below, or
you can just rush in and possibly take a hit in order to crush them.
Their attack is pretty much instant, but you can see them aiming.

053 [Hill Guard] | 60 HP | 77 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Lightning
Strn: Ice
Drop: @@*Gladius, @@@@Iron Helmet
Area: Entrance, Great Stairway
Desc: An armored warrior who specializes in fighting on uneven ground.
Note: When you're below him, he lunges forward, so get a hit in then
backdash to avoid his lunge, swinging again to catch him with it.

054 [Imp] | 33 HP | 44 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@·Trident
Area: Tower of Death, Dark Academy
Desc: A tiny demon who loves mischief.
Note: This guy is worse than the Mini Devil, as he'll take over your
controls and make you perform an action repetitively. Your partner
can knock him away, though. Again, try and take him out just as he
becomes vulnerable after fully appearing.

055 [Harpy] | 120 HP | 113 EXP | 3 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire, Poison, Petrify
Strn: Blunt
Drop: @@*Penne Arrabiata
Area: Nation of Fools, Tower of Death (base of waterwheel), Forest of Doom
Desc: A vicious bird-like creature with the head and torso of a woman.
Note: Can fire feathers at you, but isn't too much of a problem so long as
you take her out as soon as she comes over to you.

056 [Corpseweed] | 148 HP | 53 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Petrify
Strn: Lightning
Drop: @@*Orchid Corsage
Area: Sandy Grave (right end of horizontal path from start), Forest of Doom
Desc: A grown Une that bears the face of the human it fed on.
Note: Just as rooted as the Une. Not much of a challenge.

057 [Medusa Head] | 1 HP | 1 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Piercing
Drop: @@@@*Medusa Whip, @@@@*[S]Summon Medusa
Area: Nation of Fools, Tower of Death, Burnt Paradise
Desc: A monster created in great numbers from the head of Medusa.
Note: These little buggers can be a big problem in the Tower of Death,
where they might knock you into spikes. The yellow Medusa Heads will
petrify you upon impact, so get the Mirror Cuirass from a Gorgon as
soon as they're available to protect yourself against petrification.
A fully charged Stone Circle works similarly to the Buer soul in DoS,
and destroys them before they can hit you.

058 [Skelerang] | 81 HP | 77 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @[S]Boomerang
Area: Great Stairway, Forest of Doom
Desc: A skeleton that expertly hurls boomerangs.
Note: Has greatly increased range, but at least the boomerangs can be hit
out of the air now. Do so, then jump in for the kill. They tend to
cower in fear if you stand close.

059 [Gaibon] | 216 HP | 188 EXP | 4 SP
Weak: Piercing, Holy, Petrify
Strn: Dark
Area: Tower of Death
Desc: A demonic knight who serves Death. It can spit fire while flying.
Note: When its HP gets low it turns red and shoots a bunch of fireballs
one after another, so finish it off quickly before it can start
firing.

060 [Slogra] | 208 HP | 188 EXP | 4 SP
Weak: Piercing, Holy, Petrify
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@*Couse
Area: Tower of Death
Desc: A demonic knight who serves Death. It fights on the ground with a
spear.
Note: Loses its spear after a certain point, and stays in a stunned
position for a long time, so you should be able to finish it off
before it begins to attack again.

061 [Flying Armor] | 112 HP | 163 EXP | 4 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Lightning
Strn: Ice
Drop: @@@@Heaven's Sword
Area: Nation of Fools (west 'spoke' between outer ring and boss room)
Tower of Death
Desc: A sinister cape-clad figure who flies through the air wielding his
swords.
Note: Their sword attack is difficult to dodge because of its long range
and boomeranging, but if you can get them to drop it you'll be able
to use that same effectiveness against other enemies and bosses.

062 [Blue Crow] | 13 HP | 34 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Strn: Blunt
Area: Forest of Doom
Desc: The spirit of a crow that continues to fly, even after death.
Note: Swoops at you after you approach a certain distance. Smack it when
it swoops down or it will likely collide with you.

063 [Frog] | 5 HP | 16 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Drop: @@@·1000 Year Egg, @@@*[S]Summon Frog
Area: Forest of Doom
Desc: A frog of ill omen.
Note: Not a particularly menacing enemy, but it has a respectable hop. More
annoying in the cavern when you can't see very far, but you can still
hear them moving around.

064 [Killer Doll] | 90 HP | 87 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Fire, Holy, Petrify
Strn: Dark
Area: Tower of Death, Forest of Doom
Desc: A cursed doll that wanders in search of living flesh.
Note: Can curse you. Usually starts out sitting on the ground and has to
stand up first, so you can take it out before it becomes mobile.

065 [Killer Bee] | 1 HP | 8 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Area: Forest of Doom
Desc: A bee with a stinger that can easily pierce and kill.
Note: These will dive bomb you, so dodge carefully. They will also shoot
out of Bee Hives in your direction when you hit them, so watch out
for that. Pretty much anything will take them out, though.

066 [Dogether] | 144 HP | 157 EXP | 4 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@*Monocle, @@@@[S]Stone Circle
Area: Forest of Doom, Nest of Evil 2
Desc: A magical being created by a forbidden spell.
Note: Will use Stone Circle on itself as well as firing a projectile
attack, but can usually be taken out before that happens.

067 [Bee Hive] | 288 HP | 118 EXP | 3 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Drop: @@@@Beehive
Area: Forest of Doom
Desc: A hive of killer bees. Highly prized among demons as a delicacy.
Note: Spawns Killer Bees, and shoots one out in your direction when it gets
hit.

068 [Moldy Corpse] | 112 HP | 95 EXP | 3 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Holy, Petrify
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@·Amanita, @@@@Mushroom
Area: Forest of Doom
Desc: A human consumed by evil after eating a cursed mushroom.
Note: Can poison you with its attack, so destroy it before it can do so.
Its death animation shoots out some menacing-looking purple cloud,
but it doesn't actually affect you.

069 [Tombstone] | 30 HP | 114 EXP | 4 SP
Weak: Blunt
Strn: Piercing
Area: Forest of Doom, outside
Desc: A gravestone that rattles around violently.
Note: Hops pretty far for a giant slab of concrete. Stay back and hammer
away.

070 [Treant] | 340 HP | 205 EXP | 5 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire
Strn: Lightning
Drop: @Club
Area: Forest of Doom
Desc: An ancient tree animated by a malevolent will.
Note: Slow and lumbering (ha ha); you shouldn't have much problem avoiding
its attacks.

071 [Red Axe Armor] | 63 HP | 255 EXP | 12 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Lightning
Strn: Ice
Drop: @@@@Magical Ticket
Area: Forest of Doom, 13th Street
Desc: An armored warrior powered by blood. It cannot be killed.
Note: Can only be defeated with Undead Killer or Sanctuary. Acts like a
normal Axe Armor otherwise.

072 [Maneating Plant] | 191 HP | 164 EXP | 6 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire
Strn: Lightning
Drop: @@Rose Stem Whip
Area: Forest of Doom
Desc: A carnivorous plant that grew and developed a taste for human flesh.
Note: Spits out some sort of seed thingy that bounces along the ground,
and has a poison spore attack that it telegraphs by rearing back.
Hit the spores out of the sky before you get affected.

073 [Skeleton Blaze] | 180 HP | 193 EXP | 4 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@*Katar, @@@@Slick Boots
Area: 13th Street, Nest of Evil 2
Desc: An elite skeleton warrior armed with two swords.
Note: Cautious at a distance, but will slide in to swipe at you if it
senses a weakness in your defense. Only shows up in one room outside
of the Nest of Evil (13th Street, in the 2x3 room by the second
transporter) and it's a horrible location for farming drops. You're
most likely better off waiting until the Nest.

074 [Razor Bat] | 50 HP | 80 EXP | 3 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Petrify
Drop: @@@@Rahab's Frost
Area: Master's Keep
Desc: A bat that attacks with razor-sharp blades.
Note: Lifts up the sword straight out if you approach too closely. Hit it
with something slightly longer-ranged, as it won't move to attack
you.

075 [Wyvern] | 293 HP | 229 EXP | 5 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire, Petrify
Strn: Blunt
Area: Master's Keep, Nest of Evil 6
Desc: A winged beast related to dragons.
Note: Shoots fire dragons along the ground. Petrify it to avoid dealing
with its attacks.

076 [Malachi] | 444 HP | 333 EXP | 6 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@*Skull Mask, @@@@[S]Nightmare
Area: Forest of Doom, Master's Keep (right below lower transporter)
Desc: A pagan being from ancient times who strikes fear in anyone near him.
Note: Clearly modeled after Cthulhu, it summons meteors that take up a
large area and has a strong swip attack, thankfully with a long
startup so you can dodge.

077 [Spin Devil] | 99 HP | 100 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Master's Keep
Desc: An evil blade possessed by a demented demon.
Note: Not particularly menacing. Hit blades to kill.

078 [Succubus] | 185 HP | 191 EXP | 5 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Holy, Petrify
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@*Europa's Dress, @@@@·Succubus Boots
Area: Master's Keep
Desc: A demon that assumes the form of a beautiful maiden to drain
vitality.
Note: She can drain a lot of health if you let her latch on to you, but
with a petrifying weapon that shouldn't happen.

079 [Flame Demon] | 222 HP | 244 EXP | 6 SP
Weak: Ice, Holy
Strn: Fire, Dark
Drop: @@@@Agni's Flame
Area: Master's Keep, Forgotten City
Desc: A fire-wielding demon born in the molten pits of the underworld.
Note: Can throw a large fireball in your direction, but it's easy to dodge.

080 [Dead Crusader] | 99 HP | 150 EXP | 6 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Holy, Petrify
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@@*Impervious Mail
Area: Master's Keep
Desc: A zombie warrior bearing a sturdy shield.
Note: Blocks all damage from the front when his shield is out, so toss a
subweapon from afar or dive bomb him (attacking and letting your
weapon stretch out and fall on him at the peak of its swing) to catch
him by surprise.

081 [Heavy Armor] | 299 HP | 310 EXP | 8 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Lightning
Strn: Ice
Drop: @@@·[S]Wrecking Ball, @@@@·Heavy Armor
Area: Dark Academy, 13th Street, Nest of Evil 2,6
Desc: An armored zombie warrior with great strength; he swings a steel
ball.
Note: That wrecking ball looks pretty menacing, huh? He'll throw it out,
let it slam into the ground, then pull it back to him. Run in to
attack as he's pulling the wrecking ball back, and keep attacking as
he throws it again and it sails over your head, and you just have to
jump over it as it comes back to him. Not too difficult, right?
The best place to find these guys is in 13th Street, between the
second save and teleporter.

082 [Malphas] | 666 HP | 573 EXP | 12 SP
Weak: Fire, Holy
Area: Dark Academy, 13th Street, Nest of Evil 6
Desc: A black demon that is accompanied by crows.
Note: I'm sure he has attacks of some sort, but I never saw them. He has a
long startup time before he hops off the ground and begins to do
whatever it is he does while not standing around, but you can take
him out before that happens. Good EXP for not much of a struggle.

083 [Final Guard] | 50 HP | 500 EXP | 15 SP
Strn: ALL
Drop: @@@*[S]Defensive Form, @@@@*Final Sword
Area: Master's Keep, Dark Academy, Nest of Evil 1
Desc: An elite warrior chosen to guard key areas of the castle.
Note: Not much HP, but every hit only does 1 damage unless your ATK is
absurdly high. 1,000 Blades is by far the best way to take this enemy
down without a hassle, and most of the time it moves so slowly that
it won't be able to reach you and pull off an attack before you can
take it down. The (fully powered) Vampire Killer's critical attack
does a lot of damage, too - you can take out a Final Guard in one hit
if you have at least 246 ATK.

084 [Glasya Labolas] | 155 HP | 83 EXP | 3 SP
Weak: Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @·[S]Acidic Bubbles, @@Hot Dog
Area: Great Stairway (lower of the two 5x4 rooms, under the staircase)
Desc: A demonic dog with large, powerful wings.
Note: Have a quick backdash ready if it lunges at you. This is a fairly
rare monster, but you can find one in the lower of the two 5x4 rooms
that make up the stairs of the Great Stairway, at the foot of the
staircase.

085 [Ghoul] | 99 HP | 13 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Holy, Petrify
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@@·Combat Fatigues
Area: Dark Academy, 13th Street
Desc: A foul creature that feeds on the flesh of the dead.
Note: Stronger than Zombies, but still just shambling. Take out enough of
these in a room where they spawn and the Ghoul King will show up.
They're dark blue and move much faster than normal Ghouls, so be
ready to dodge.

086 [Ruler's Sword] | 300 HP | 400 EXP | 13 SP
Weak: Lightning, Holy
Drop: @@@·Jagdplaute, @@@@Dragon Slayer
Area: Master's Keep, Dark Academy, Nest of Evil 2,4
Desc: A sword controlled by an evil will. Causes poltergeist phenomena.
Note: Full of sharp pointy things, and keeps a wall of shields pointed at
you. Its attacks get worse the longer you let it live, including a
nasty sawblade one where it bounces around, so try not to let it last
long enough to pull it off. A holy weapon like Heaven's Sword makes
short work of this enemy.

087 [Witch] | 106 HP | 124 EXP | 6 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Holy, Poison
Strn: Fire, Ice, Lightning
Drop: @@*Traveler's Hat, @@@@Astral Brooch
Area: Forest of Doom, Dark Academy
Desc: A spellcaster who rides an enchanted broomstick.
Note: What happened to the cute, klutzy Student Witch? This one is all
business, and quickly fires off a homing projectile, so take her out
quickly.

088 [Skeleton Tree] | 150 HP | 58 EXP | 3 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Burnt Paradise
Desc: A skeleton that grows like a tree.
Note: These guys don't seem to breathe fire like the Hanged Bones, so they
should be a breeze to handle.

089 [Buster Armor] | 288 HP | 330 EXP | 9 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Lightning
Strn: Ice
Drop: @@@@*Gold Plate
Area: 13th Street, Burnt Paradise, Nest of Evil 2,4
Desc: An armored warrior who specializes in long-range attacks.
Note: When he fires that missile, hit it to knock it away. Don't hit it
straight down or it'll just explode at your feet and cause MASSIVE
DAMAGE!

090 [Armored Fleaman] | 80 HP | 125 EXP | 4 SP
Drop: Bhuj, [S]Berserker
Area: Forgotten City, Nest of Evil 2
Desc: A little Fleaman armed with an axe and protected by armor.
Note: These guys are annoying. Even after you bust them apart there's still
a Fleaman left over to take care of. They tend to move in a straight
line, though, which is easier to deal with.

091 [Amalric Sniper] | 179 HP | 218 EXP | 8 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Dark
Strn: Holy
Drop: @@@@·Pudding, @@@@*Blessed Ankh
Area: 13th Street, Nest of Evil 6
Desc: A fallen angel who is now a fearsome archer.
Note: Resistant to the Holy weapon you've probably taken to using
exclusively during the game - what a jerk! Switch to something more
effective and don't let him get his secondary attack off - he fires a
bunch of arrows in every direction, and it's hard to dodge when
you're close to him.

092 [Old Axe Armor] | 145 HP | 156 EXP | 0 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Lightning
Strn: Ice
Drop: @@@@*Voulge, @@@@@Ancient Armor
Area: Dark Academy, Forgotten City, 13th Street, Burnt Paradise,
Nest of Evil 5,6
Desc: A veteran zombie warrior wearing antique armor.
Note: Surprisingly agile, this armor will shake its axe arm back and forth
a few times before charging you, so get back when you see it go up.
The axes he throws arc from top to bottom, so watch out for that too.
If you kill 1,000 of these, you'll unlock a special mode where you
can play as one.

093 [Gorgon] | 295 HP | 187 EXP | 6 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Strn: Poison, Petrify
Drop: @@@@·New York Steak, @@@@*Mirror Cuirass
Area: Forgotten City (bottom left), Burnt Paradise
Desc: A monstrous bull that breathes clouds of toxic gas.
Note: Similar to the Catoblepas, but poisons instead. Get that Mirror
Cuirass; you want immunity to petrification for the boss of Burnt
Paradise.

094 [Jack O'Bones] | 100 HP | 114 EXP | 5 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@*Spoiled Milk, @@@@*Adrenaline Gear
Area: Forgotten City, Burnt Paradise, Nest of Evil 1
Desc: A skeleton who specializes in throwing attacks.
Note: This guy can get really annoying if you leave him around for too
long, as those bouncing projectiles take forever to disappear on
their own and he throws them pretty frequently.

095 [Tanjelly] | 155 HP | 201 EXP | 5 SP
Weak: Fire, Ice, Lightning
Strn: Blunt
Area: Forgotten City, Burnt Paradise
Desc: A poisonous creature made of a slimy gel. Resistant to physical
attacks.
Note: Similar to Slime, but moves faster and poisons. Not good now that it
has that pouncing ability. Definitely don't stand under these guys.

096 [Dead Warrior] | 210 HP | 193 EXP | 6 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Holy, Curse, Petrify
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@@·Samurai Plate
Area: Dark Academy, 13th Street, Burnt Paradise, Nest of Evil 1
Desc: A dead knight whose spirit still lusts for battle.
Note: Charges back and forth in a set pattern. Watch for where he turns
around and stand just out of his range, to slash at him when he comes
near.

097 [Toad] | 30 HP | 34 EXP | 3 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Drop: @@@Piyoko
Area: Dark Academy
Desc: The result of a demonic ritual gone wrong.
Note: Not much more menacing than the Frog, though it shoots out its tongue
this time.

098 [Aliorumnas] | 196 HP | 212 EXP | 6 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Poison, Curse, Petrify
Strn: Fire, Ice, Lightning
Drop: @@@@Dalmatica
Area: Dark Academy, 13th Street
Desc: Witches banished by the Gothic king Filmer.
Note: You'd think she'd be strong against holy given her attire, but such
is not the case. Best to petrify her though, as she has a homing
attack with three white clouds if you leave her alone too long.

099 [Dodo] | 100 HP | 365 EXP | 30 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Strn: Blunt
Drop: *Fried Chicken, @@Heart Brooch
Area: Forgotten City
Desc: An extremely rare bird. It is rather cowardly, and runs away quickly.
Note: Head to the far left room above ground, then head right one room.
Wait a few seconds, and if the Dodo doesn't come walking in from the
right side of the screen, re-enter the room until it shows up. It
will run away at first sight of you, so a good strategy is to dive
bomb it with a heavy weapon such as an Axe or a fire weapon. If you
have Time Stop, I hear that you can use that as well, but I never
needed it.

100 [Vice Beetle] | 30 HP | 64 EXP | 3 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Burnt Paradise, Nest of Evil 4
Desc: An insect with crushingly powerful jaws. Crawls on the ceiling.
Note: Even worse than the Spittle Bone, this horrible creature spews giant
clouds of poisonous gas everywhere. Stay far away from its attack
zone and watch for where it can turn corners, as the cloud will jump
around.

101 [Alura Une] | 573 HP | 440 EXP | 11 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Petrify
Strn: Lightning
Drop: @@*Rose Corsage, @@@*Muse's Tiara

of them if you petrify her during her startup animation.

102 [Lightkeeper] | 220 HP | 250 EXP | 8 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Ice, Poison
Strn: Fire
Area: Forgotten City, Dark Academy, 13th Street, Nest of Evil 1
Desc: A demon who lights magical torches on graves.
Note: Now these guys can be annoying. They set off a wave of fire running
along the ground at a fast speed, and they have a fairly high amount
of HP. In rooms with a number of them, might want to pick most of
them off from a distance with skills.

103 [Black Crow] | 33 HP | 69 EXP | 1 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Strn: Blunt
Drop: @@*[S]Summon Crow
Area: Dark Academy
Desc: An evil crow that has developed a taste for human flesh.

apply.

104 [Mandragora] | 190 HP | 150 EXP | 5 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire
Strn: Lightning
Area: Dark Academy
Desc: Those who hear its scream know madness.
Note: If you can't take these down before they uproot themselves, run away,
as their scream attack has a fairly large radius.

105 [Wakwak Tree] | 550 HP | 185 EXP | 5 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire
Strn: Lightning
Drop: @@*Grapes
Area: Dark Academy (near start)
Desc: A nasty tree that produces Fleamen.
Note: The Fleamen take a little bit of time to... sprout? And you can pop
the bubbles to reset that. The tree isn't officially dead until you
break all three sprouting branches.

106 [Guillotiner] | 213 HP | 223 EXP | 6 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Burnt Paradise, Nest of Evil 2
Desc: A demon who has executed countless victims in its bloody guillotine.
Note: It goes without saying that you don't want to let this thing
surround you. It moves fairly slow and you can attack either jaw, so
it shouldn't be too difficult, but don't get complacent.

107 [Nyx] | 160 HP | 206 EXP | 6 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Petrify
Strn: Holy
Drop: @·Heart, @@@@*Princess Coat
Area: 13th Street, Nest of Evil 5
Desc: The master of night.
Note: Can dash forward pretty much infinitely in her attempt to inject you,
but will come to a halt if you jump overhead. If you don't want to
get poisoned, don't stand in front of her for too long. Keep moving
and keep airborne; dive kick off her head if you have to in order to
stay in the air when she's charging. There's also the petrify option.

108 [Minotaur] | 354 HP | 414 EXP | 10 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Strn: Blunt
Drop: @@*Bullova, @@@@Hercules Ring
Area: Dark Academy, Burnt Paradise, Nest of Evil 1
Desc: A creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man.
Note: Great for farming EXP, as there's a room with two of them just below
the second teleporter in Dark Academy. Don't jump in to attack, as
you'll probably just impale yourself on its axe. When it holds the
axe back to swing forward, it will jump during its slash, at which
point you can slide under if there isn't enough room to move back.
Those Hercules Rings are great for Boss Rush mode and the Nest of
Evil.

109 [Mothman] | 80 HP | 125 EXP | 7 SP
Weak: Fire, Petrify
Area: 13th Street, Nest of Evil 1
Desc: Half moth, half man--he sprinkles poisonous dust wherever he goes.
Note: Do not stand under this guy or you will get poisoned. Keep next to
him horizontally and swing away; he doesn't have much HP so it
shouldn't take long.

110 [Laura] | 415 HP | 320 EXP | 10 SP

Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@Spade
Area: Forgotten City, Burnt Paradise, Nest of Evil 3,5
Desc: A skeleton that ceaselessly chases its own skull.
Note: He'll kick his head toward you and that thing can do a surprising
amount of damage, so try not to stand in front of him unless you're
constantly attacking to destroy it. Tends to show up in multiples, so
it can be slow going.

112 [Dragonfly] | 40 HP | 115 EXP | 5 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Area: Dark Academy, Nest of Evil 2
Desc: An insect that spits burning liquid.
Note: Spits fire, so stay out from under it. Take them out quickly and it
won't be a problem; just stay level with them.

113 [Quetzalcoatl] | 128 HP | 228 EXP | 9 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Forgotten City, Nest of Evil 1
Desc: A reincarnation of the ancient snake god.
Note: Bounces around on a trajectory that can be hard to predict. Try to
make it in between one of the arches of its jump and hack away at it
when it passes overhead and bounces behind you, before it ends up on
a path that intersects your position.

114 [Ripper] | 80 HP | 127 EXP | 2 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Curse, Petrify
Drop: @@@@Porkpie Hat, @@@@Spicy Shrimp
Area: 13th Street, Burnt Paradise, Nest of Evil 5
Desc: A fiend who takes great pleasure in slaughtering people with knives.
Note: These are annoying little buggers. Faster and stronger than Fleaman,
and they throw knives. Use an area control spell like Dark Rift to
neutralize them or Stone Circle to protect yourself and run through
them. The latter tactic is actually a good way to level up in the
room with the cakes and the horde of Rippers in 13th Street,
especially with two Shaman Rings.

115 [Poison Worm] | 1200 HP | 800 EXP | 25 SP
Area: Forgotten City
Desc: An enormous worm, poisonous to the touch.
Note: Hopefully you got practice dodging the Sand Worm, because now it's
actually important that you don't run into him. Keep next to him in
its burrow and poke away and you should be safe from the poison spray
attack, and use a fast weapon so you don't end up colliding with it.

116 [Ghost Dancer] | 55 HP | 125 EXP | 6 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Blunt, Whip, Piercing, Dark
Drop: @@@Ballroom Masque, @@@*Tea
Area: 13th Street
Desc: The spirits of nobles; they dance endlessly in aristocratic abandon.
Note: Use magic or a holy sword, as they're resistant to physical attacks.

117 [Demon Head] | 199 HP | 266 EXP | 11 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@·Rotten Durian
Area: Dark Academy (room above portrait room), Forgotten City, Nest of
Evil 3
Desc: An ancient devil that only has a face and six wings.
Note: Similar to Death Mask but now has a tongue attack. Just take them out
quickly.

118 [Lesser Demon] | 166 HP | 199 EXP | 7 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@@*Skull Ring
Area: Dark Academy, Forgotten City, Nest of Evil 3
Desc: A demon who wields powerful magic.
Note: Has a bunch of attacks, including a fire ball, acit spit, and even
one that summons another Lesser Demon. That Skull Ring is useful for
its stat boosts for some of the quests, though, so get two of them if
you can.

119 [Ghoul King] | 444 HP | 291 EXP | 15 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @·Surcoat, @@*Royal Crown
Area: 13th Street
Desc: The rarely-seen king of the ghouls.
Note: Find in a room with respawning Ghouls after killing many of them.

120 [Vapula] | 420 HP | 396 EXP | 12 SP
Weak: Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @·[S]Hex
Area: Dark Academy, 13th Street, Nest of Evil 6
Desc: A demon with a lion's body and a griffon's wings.
Note: Can curse you, but that Hex spell is very useful against enemies like
The Creature in Nest of Evil.

121 [Iron Golem] | 999 HP | 500 EXP | 20 SP
Strn: ALL
Drop: @@@·Platinum Lggngs, @@@@Platinum Plate
Area: Nest of Evil 2,5
Desc: A golem imbued with a powerful magic spell.
Note: No longer takes only one damage per hit, which is good because it has
a lot more HP. You can get behind it with Owl Form or by spamming
Griffon Wing, but its attacks aren't that difficult to avoid. If it
leans forward, get back, because it's going to breathe fire. If it
pulls a leg back, don't stand in front of it, or you'll get a swift
kick to the head. Not exactly rocket science.

122 [DoubleAxe Armor] | 191 HP | 287 EXP | 14 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Lightning
Strn: Ice
Drop: @@@@*Berserker Mail, @@@@*Super Potion
Area: Burnt Paradise, Nest of Evil 3
Desc: An elite Axe Armor warrior who wields two axes with deadly precision.
Note: In addition to throwing axes one after the other, he has a shockwave
attack that you can't just hit out of the air. It's worth it to get
his drops, though, as Berserker Mail gives you a huge ATK boost (at
the expense of your DEF) and Super Potion completely heals your HP.

123 [Demon] | 666 HP | 666 EXP | 16 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@@Super Tonic
Area: 13th Street (underground area near boss), Nest of Evil 1
Desc: An inhabitant of hell, set free by dark magic.
Note: Attacks consist of diving at you and summoning 3 balls of light that
fire in your direction. Hit him with a holy weapon quickly before he
can get the attack completed, or recall your partner and get ready to
dodge.

124 [Bone Ark] | 500 HP | 354 EXP | 15 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Nest of Evil 1,4
Desc: A mobile Bone Pillar. Considered an innovative breakthrough.
Note: This guy is annoying because of the huge explosion caused by its
projectile attack. Whack the the porters to stop it from moving, and
back up when it fires to jump over the ensuing explosion.

125 [Skeleton Farmer] | 439 HP | 590 EXP | 18 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@Rice Ball
Area: Nest of Evil 3
Desc: A skeleton with a green thumb. Even hell could use a plant here and
there.
Note: Throws a bunch of Une and Mandragora seeds in a wide arc. When he
uses this attack, back up so that you don't get hit, then use the
Vampire Killer to cut a wide swath out of the newly rooted enemies.
You should be able to take him down faster than he can spawn more
plants.

126 [Alastor] | 512 HP | 512 EXP | 25 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@@Damascus Sword
Area: Nest of Evil 3,4
Desc: A sword possessed by the souls of slain warriors, driven by revenge.
Note: Very easy patterns. Hit the sword once or twice to knock it out of
the air, then back up a bit as it returns to your altitude again or
it might move forward far enough to hit you. Repeat until it dies and
it'll never be able to pull off an attack.

127 [Gold Skeleton] | 255 HP | 255 EXP | 18 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@@@*Gold Ring
Area: Nest of Evil 3,4
Desc: A skeleton made of a hard, unknown material similar to gold.
Note: Hope you practiced on regular skeletons, because if you don't hit
this guy right when he attacks, you'll get something like 6 bones
thrown at you, and they do a lot of damage. Get the timing right,
though, and you can knock them all down when they're close together.
You'll probably be spending a while fighting these if you plan on
getting two Gold Rings, as they make money gathering much easier and
allow you to finally buy those last two cakes from the Bakery.

128 [Cave Troll] | 320 HP | 414 EXP | 21 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Strn: Blunt
Drop: @@·Jamon Iberico, @@*Peking Duck
Area: Nest of Evil 2,5,6
Desc: A blood-sucking beast that extracts the entrails of cows with its
tongue.
Note: These used to be pushovers in DoS, but their close-range lightning
attack can easily drain all your health in this game. Use 1,000
Blades to be completely safe, as they won't start moving until you
approach about half a screen away from them, or just use a long-range
weapon and stay back. Whatever you do, don't get surrounded.

129 [Amducias] | 1999 HP | 1280 EXP | 33 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: @@[S]Thor's Bellow, @@Record 4
Area: Nest of Evil 4,6
Desc: A demon in the form of a unicorn. One of the best musicians in hell.
Note: Charges at you when you first enter the room, then uses a lightning
attack. Hit him with 1,000 Blades right off the bat and it might be
enough to kill him. If not, get a long-range weapon or a subweapon
ready, because he'll pull off lightning spell soon after 1,000 Blades
ends. If you can get behind him when he dashes, keep hitting him and
he won't be able to turn around.

130 [Balore] | 3000 HP | 2000 EXP | 40 SP
Weak: Piercing
Area: Nest of Evil 1
Desc: A demon whose very gaze induces terror.
Note: Has a fairly simple pattern. Stand under his head and whack away. If
his arm comes back near you, jump up and away from him or you'll be
sent into the wall/ceiling, but you can ignore his higher punch and
duck his laser blast from that position.

131 [Gergoth] | 3800 HP | 2500 EXP | 50 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Area: Nest of Evil 2
Desc: A once-gentle beast, warped by magic and driven mad by imprisonment.
Note: If he moves in to chomp you or starts his laser attack, super jump to
the ceiling and cling there until he's done. If he leaps in the air
to bite you, quickly slide under him.

132 [Zephyr] | 3210 HP | 3210 EXP | 60 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Area: Nest of Evil 3
Desc: A demon who has mastery over time.
Note: Don't just stand in front of him and swing away or he'll catch you
with his time stop. If he jumps to the ceiling, walk toward the
direction he jumps and you should end up between the knife he throws
and the spot where he lands, and have time to get in a few good hits.
Whenever you see the time stop, hop up / super jump and let him pass
under you, then hit him in the back. You can always get a few hits in
after his attacks, but don't get greedy.

133 [Aguni] | 4000 HP | 3500 EXP | 70 SP
Weak: Ice
Strn: Fire
Area: Nest of Evil 4
Desc: A primitive god of fire, captured by Dracula's magic.
Note: If he flies up into the ceiling, quickly run to a side, then move out
of the way when he dives back in and jump over the flame wave. If he
starts his fireball attack, jump up and smack a claw over and over
while dodging the moving flame waves. If he hunches over, he's going
to dash to the other side of the room (and usually right back again),
so duck and keep swinging if you have a greatsword. Finally, if he
raises a claw, start walking in one direction, and when it comes
down, walk back under it as he brings it back up again. You should be
able to dodge his slaps if you zig-zag back and forth under them, but
if you keep moving in one direction you run the risk of hitting a
wall and having nowhere to go when the next claw comes down.

134 [Abaddon] | 5000 HP | 4000 EXP | 50 SP
Weak: Piercing, Holy
Strn: Dark
Drop: ·Record 3
Area: Nest of Evil 5
Desc: A master of pestilent locusts from the deep abyss of the underworld.
Note: Stone Circle is the best option here, as it destroys the locusts.
Check the DoS FAQs for more strategies, since his patterns are
exactly the same.

135 [Doppelganger] | 2000 HP | 2000 EXP | 99 SP
Weak: Piercing
Area: Nest of Evil 7
Desc: A demon who assumes the form of its intended victims before killing
them.
Note: Fights with watever equipment you're wearing when you enter the room.
For a cheesy fight, equip crappy stuff before entering the room and
it will use those items, then put your good stuff back on after it's
set. Might even be able to go in unequipped, though I haven't tried
it. You get to pick what you fight, though, so be creative if you
want more interesting fights after you've played out the rest of the
fun factor in the game.

136 [Fake Trevor] | 3800 HP | 3000 EXP | 60 SP
Weak: Piercing
Strn: Whip, Holy
Drop: ·Curry
Area: Nest of Evil 6
Desc: A zombie disguised as Trevor Belmont.
Note: The most aggressive of the three, and most likely the one you will
take out first. He's nowhere near as maneuverable as Whip's Memory,
so that's nice, but you still have to be careful of his range.

137 [Fake Grant] | 3800 HP | 3000 EXP | 60 SP
Weak: Piercing
Drop: ·Ramen Noodles
Area: Nest of Evil 6
Desc: A zombie disguised as Grant DaNasty.
Note: This guy is laughable. He just clings to the ceiling and every now
and then throws a knife. Save him for last and just jump up and whack
away.

138 [Fake Sypha] | 3200 HP | 3000 EXP | 60 SP
Weak: Piercing
Strn: Fire, Ice, Lightning
Drop: ·Mint Sundae
Area: Nest of Evil 6
Desc: A zombie disguised as Sypha Belnades.
Note: Alternates between a few types of spells. Not too dangerous as long
as you keep a distance from her, but that can be difficult with all
three of them around you at once.

139 [Dullahan] | 600 HP | 500 EXP | 40 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Lightning
Strn: Ice
Area: Boss of City of Haze
Desc: A beheaded knight who carries his severed head.
Note: At this point in the game he can be quite a challenge. Stay a safe
distance away from him so that he doesn't walk into you, and if he
reaches out and tries to put on the head, make sure to knock it out
of the way or you'll face some fast large homing projectiles followed
up by a radial blast of smaller projectiles. You can dodge the first
set by alternatively jumping really high to get one to fly over your
head as you come down, then jumping again as the second one aims at
the ground where you landed. You can make the fight much easier by
surrounding him, confusing the AI.

140 [Behemoth] | 800 HP | 1000 EXP | 45 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Boss of Entrance
Desc: A beast who rebelled against heaven; it fought on even after it was
killed.
Note: Behemoth likes to charge at you and keep running through the walls of
the arena, but luckily there are platforms placed on both sides for
dodging purposes. He'll stop about halfway through the arena and walk
slowly, so use this time to whack away at him. If he opens his mouth,
watch out, because you do not want a french kiss from this guy. It's
painful, to say the least. Once he starts to charge, jump to the
ledge and leap behind him as he passes through the ledge, then wait
on the opposite side of the arena for him to approach again and
repeat. Not too complicated, just stay out of his way when he's
charging.

141 [Keremet] | 666 HP | 2000 EXP | 50 SP
Weak: Fire, Ice, Lightning
Area: Boss of Great Stairway
Desc: A demon that lives in small, enclosed spaces.
Note: This boss is a total pushover if you know what to do. It throws
smaller slimes around sometimes, and you have to deal with those
before they crawl into you, but other than that he only fires a big
ball of evilness that drifts safely overhead so long as you don't hit
it. So DON'T HIT IT, because it will explode into a bunch of smaller
balls and you will take lots of damage. You have to keep hitting its
pot in order to keep it extended and vulnerable to attacks, so bring
Charlotte out. She'll whack away at it, and all you have to do is
jump up and smack Keremet in the face when it's visible and avoid
breaking any of those deathballs. If you summon your partner with the
Stay Cube in front of the pot and then get behind it with your main
character, Keremet will face away from you and you won't have to be
as careful. Don't get too greedy and you can easily win this fight
without getting hit.

142 [Astarte] | 1500 HP | 3000 EXP | 50 SP
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Piercing
Strn: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Dark, Holy
Area: Boss of Sandy Grave
Desc: A woman of irresistable beauty. No man can defy her will.
Note: She can charm Jonathan very easily, so unless you're an expert at
dodging, it's best if he sits this one out. Alternatively, you can
use him and switch to Charlotte whenever you hear "TEMPTATION!". If
you just want to take her down quickly, the 1,000 Blades Dual Crush
found in her level will make short work of her in two casts. You do
get an extra amusing dialogue if you manage to beat her after
Jonathan has been charmed, though, so you can also unequip his weapon
before he gets charmed to lessen the threat he poses to you.

143 [Legion] | 2000 HP | 4000 EXP | 50 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Boss of Nation of Fools
Desc: The one who is many.
Note: A big ball of bodies with lasers inside. Pretty awesome. You can
break off large chunks of the body-shell to expose its vulnerable
core, but beware that the more of it you expose, the more of its 8
laser tentacles will be able to shoot at you. Try to do as much
damage as possible before you break off the entire shell, as the core
will then take up a new pattern in which it fires lasers in all
directions and spins, forcing you to keep moving. There's an added
difficulty of proto-forms dropping off the shell and wandering around
getting in your way. Ideally you want to use something with long
range that can clear a lot of them at once and strike at Legion from
a distance. The Flying Armors in the left "spoke" of the level drop
a nifty little weapon called Heaven's Sword, which can hit 2-4 times
per swing as it flies out like a boomerang and returns. Greatswords
also work well for their overhead arc, as you can stand directly
under Legion and whack away at it, dodging only when laser arms point
your way.

144 [Dagon] | 1800 HP | 6000 EXP | 55 SP
Weak: Lightning, Holy
Strn: Ice, Dark
Area: Boss of Forest of Doom
Desc: A creature of the swamp.
Note: Use Clear Skies, Dark Rift, or Tempest to soak up the bubble blast,
or just tap dance on his head with the jump kick. You can also jump
off the surface of the water repeatedly if your timing's good. When
he's not using that attack you can jump up to attack the vulnerable
upper head.

145 [Death] | 4444 HP | 0 EXP | 0 SP
Strn: Dark
Area: Boss of Tower of Death
Desc: Dracula's confidant.
Note: Weak to physical attacks when white, and weak to magical attacks when
black. Attack accordingly. When his HP gets lower he'll start trying
to grab you with a chain from each corner. If you get caught, quickly
instruct your partner to attack the chains to break you free or it's
pretty much instant death. Other than that, dodge his scythe and hit
the smaller scythes that appear to destroy them.
DO NOT SKIP THE DIALOGUE AFTER THE FIGHT. This triggers a glitch that
makes it impossible to finish the fight, and makes it impossible to
leave the room once you re-enter it (and thus, impossible to progress
any further in the game if you don't head left and activate the
elevator. Even then you won't be able to buy Rampage or complete the
Hands of The Clock quest). You do not want this happening to you.

146 [Stella] | 2500 HP | 0 EXP | 0 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire, Lightning
Strn: Ice
Area: Boss of Tower of Death, Boss of Master's Keep
Desc: Loretta's twin sister. She's a skilled swordmaster.
Note: (first fight) Jump constantly to attack her; something like Heaven's
Sword works well because you can stay at a distance. If you stay in
the air, she'll usually fire off her blade attack at a height that
you can ignore it if you're on the ground. When she starts placing
four smaller versions around the arena, get to the opposite side and
keep jumping to hopefully make them target different heights and
become easier to dodge.
(second fight) Immediately have Charlotte cast Sanctuary and get
under or behind the girls with Jonathan, using Taunt to direct their
attacks away from Charlotte. Ideally they will end up between
Jonathan and Charlotte and nothing will go Charlotte's way. Just
don't move so far that Charlotte disappears offscreen or she'll stop
casting and teleport back to you. Once the spell goes off the fight
is over, so don't worry about your health too much (you can use
Stonewall to increase your defense if it is an issue).

147 [Loretta] | 2500 HP | 0 EXP | 0 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire
Strn: Ice
Area: Boss of Master's Keep
Desc: Stella's twin sister. She's a powerful witch.
Note: Immediately have Charlotte cast Sanctuary and get under or
behind the girls with Jonathan, using Taunt to direct their attacks
away from Charlotte. Ideally they will end up between Jonathan and
Charlotte and nothing will go Charlotte's way. Just don't move so far
that Charlotte disappears offscreen or she'll stop casting and
teleport back to you. Once the spell goes off the fight is over, so
don't worry about your health too much (you can use Stonewall to
increase your defense if it is an issue).

148 [Brauner] | 6000 HP | 0 EXP | 0 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Boss of Master's Keep
Desc: An artist who became a vampire and renounced humanity.
Note: By this point you should have defeated Whip's Memory and unlocked the
true power of the Vampire Killer, so spam its critial attack and he
will go down fast. The motions he makes on the canvas he holds will
end up affecting the screen in the same pattern, so pay attention if
you want to dodge the lines that appear.

149 [The Creature] | 4000 HP | 5000 EXP | 60 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing
Strn: Lightning
Area: Boss of Dark Academy, Nest of Evil 5
Desc: An artificial being created by a mad scientist.
Note: Use Clear Skies or Dark Rift to suck up the bullets, and don't stay
too close to him or he'll grab you and squish you pretty good. Once
again, Heaven's Sword works well while keeping you at a safter
distance (although he can still hit you with the lightning or missile
splash damage).

150 [Werewolf] | 4500 HP | 6000 EXP | 60 SP
Weak: Whip, Piercing, Fire, Holy
Strn: Blunt
Area: Boss of 13th Street
Desc: A cursed man who transforms into a ferocious beast when the moon is
full.
Note: Don't let him get too close or he'll grab you as well. Throw mastered
Shurikens, use Heaven's Sword, or Vampire Killer if you've unlocked
it already. Not very complex other than that.

151 [Medusa] | 3500 HP | 6000 EXP | 60 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Boss of Burnt Paradise
Desc: A monster who turns her victims to stone. One of three Gorgon
sisters.
Note: If you hear "PETRIFY!" then turn away from her or you'll end up as a
statue. She can also summon a bunch of gold Medusa Heads, so the
Mirror Cuirass armor is handy here. If she turns into a snake she'll
strike forward pretty far, so get a few hits in then flee to the
ceiling or duck. If the snake starts winding up and down through the
floor, recall your partner or they will most likely get hit and drain
your MP. Stay in the air until you can determine a safe spot to land,
then jump from there to strike at her.

152 [Mummy Man] | 4500 HP | 5000 EXP | 60 SP
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Boss of Forgotten City
Desc: A member of a royal family who became a mummy in search of
everlasting life.
Note: I didn't really try any strategy when I was fighting this guy. He
pulls six blocks from the wall in the back and sends them at you one
after another, but in such a small room it's difficult to dodge. Just
keep grinding away at him and if you're using the right weapons his
health will drain before your does.

153 [Whip's Memory] | 5000 HP | 0 EXP | 0 SP
Weak: Dark
Strn: Holy
Area: Boss of Master's Keep
Desc: A memory of the last Belmont to wield the Vampire Killer.
Note: Cream Pie does Dark damage, so it's actually pretty good against him.
What a humiliating way to go down! The Nebula whip is also a frequent
choice since it has a better range than his, but it's not effective
in terms of pure damage. My favorite strategy involves abusing his
AI, though. Jump over his head while he's doing an attack. There's a
short delay after each of his attacks, but if you're in the air when
he comes out of it, nine times out of ten he'll hop straight up to
whip you down. You need to double jump so that you cross over him
after he jumps up but before he can get his attack out. You'll have
time for one, maybe two hits with a greatsword or a whip and more
with a faster weapon. Then get in the air again and repeat the
process. If he starts to charge instead of whipping you, get away, as
he's about to pull off Grand Cross. You can start the pattern again
when he's done, though. Recommended equipment includes Jet Black Whip
(beat Medusa) and Holy Mail (beat Mummy Man), since these exploit his
attacks and weaknesses, but you won't have them if you're trying to
fight him as soon as he's available.

154 [Dracula] | 6666 HP | 0 EXP | 0 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Boss of The Throne Room
Desc: The true master of the castle.
Note: This looks like a hard fight at first, with both Dracula and Death to
deal with, but it's actually not that bad. Use Speed Up and you'll
destroy Dracula's fireballs just by walking into them (no need to
dodge!), or jump them if you'd rather use some other spell. Every now
and then he'll summon a swarm of bats, at which point you need to
super jump to the ceiling and cling there or face a ton of damage. As
for Death, he'll only move slowly to your location and swing straight
downward, so don't get pinned to a wall and you should be able to
dodge it easily once you see him swinging. Death has the lower DEF in
this round, so you'll likely be attacking him most of the time since
they share the same HP bar.

155 [True Dracula] | 6666 HP | 0 EXP | 0 SP
Weak: Holy
Strn: Dark
Area: Boss of The Throne Room
Desc: The true master of the castle.
Note: Cross works well when he's on the floor, and keep spamming Vampire
Killer or Holy Claymore. When he jumps to the back and moves his
wings out to crush you, stay in the middle and have each player
attack a different side. If a wing starts to shake it will soon crush
you and deal a ton of damage, so knock it back before it can. The
first time I fought him I crouched in the middle and swung Holy
Claymore, without Charlotte ever on the screen, and it managed to hit
both sides with the wide arc of the swing, and his claws never
snapped shut once. The Meteor dual crush is also effective.
