      i loved soma , but i love much more alucard , shanoa and Jonathan =) . alucard cause his past , and what he became , shanoa because her fate is either really sad and verry interesting , probably the igavania the more depresive and with the much lore , and jonathan because JONATHAN CHARLOTTE JONATHAN CHAORLOTTE JONATHAN CHARLOTTE nah i'm kidding ^^ , because it echoed to john moris, and one of the very first castlevania game i played , castlevania bloodline =) .

    Wall of text incoming:
    Everyone always says this is a lame final boss with no connection to the story. I disagree; in fact, I think this is a perfect culmination to Soma's character arc. Pay close attention to the dialogue right before the fight --
    "Letting this out would be a disaster. It must end here!"
    Compare that to Soma throughout most of Aria. He was non-confrontational to a fault; almost all of the story's threats sought him out, rather than the other way around. He was hesitant to fight Graham, even going so far as to offer Graham all of his souls just to avoid an altercation. When Soma fought Chaos at the end of AoS, it was an unavoidable battle; if he didn't kill Chaos, he would've become Dracula completely. He only fought it out of necessity.
    Here, though, it's made perfectly clear that Soma didn't even have to fight Menace at all. Soma makes it apparent that there's an alternative; he does have the option to simply let it run free. It's completely optional for him to kill this thing. This fight is on his own terms -- he's not fighting it because he was forced to, he's choosing to kill it because he knows that it's the right thing to do. *That's* character development.
    A lot of people focus so much on the fact that Soma is Dracula's reincarnation that they ignore the other part of his character: the human side. Aria's story was Soma getting rid of Dracula. Dawn's story was Soma getting rid of the weak part of himself.

    Menace looks like he could've been a transformation (third & fourth forms) of Death if he were the final boss
    If that were the case, he would've had an arm scythe instead of the head on his left arm, as well as have scythe/skull attacks

    For anyone in modern times struggling with this fight. Me too. But anyway you can use spin devil to finish off the first phase just by standing under it. It’ll blow the curse smoke away and damage menace and you won’t even have to worry about the pillars they won’t hit you.

      Harmony of Dissonance is kind of a joke, too. Standard Dracula fight and for the second phase he has two attacks that are stupid easy to avoid.
      Circle of the Moon's final boss is great though, best of the GBA trilogy. Then there's Portrait of Ruin which hands down has the best final boss in the series.

      @@Laihoard1995 The final boss of Circle of the moon is the most boring and absurdly long fight in the entire franchise, if you don't have the right cards, the guy is impossible to beat, In general I hate the progression system of Circle of the moon, it is based entirely on luck, since it is not clear that monsters give you cards. The same with armor, you only get them from monsters, so there are playthroughs where you are OP and others where you are weak like a fly, that a game forced you to use a guide is simply poor design.
