You're telling me, you have to make it all the way through the stage and fight three forms of Dracula without any continues or power ups? Are you mad?? How are you supposed to do that?? - Angry Video Game Nerd
@@greko4360 you can manipulate the space between the flames, based on where you stand facing dracula. He follows your location after every impale so you must stay as close as him as possible so he can spawn the flames further from each other.
The easiest way to do this is to grab the axe right before the pendulum room and farm candles before Dracula until you get 40 hearts & the triple shot. Then spam axes at his 2nd & third form.
I played through this whole game using only Trevor, and this final stage was definitely one of the most difficult video game experiences I've ever had. Finally beating it was one of my most satisfying gaming moments :)
@avengingknight Eh. Not really. The 2nd and 3rd forms can easily trip anyone up, and it's actually easier in the JPN version, particularly the 3rd form because his lasers are actually just generic shots that can go in any direction and aren't long as all fuck.
The flames appear closer to each other the closer u are to dracula when he casts it, the Nerd was sticking right beside him to whip him, that was his mistake, probably he’s beaten the game by now, if he got all the way to the final boss he might as well have haha
Apperently Draculas 3rd form is actually the Dark God he made a pact with according to the Japanese Manual. So I believe like in ninja gaiden, Dracula was destroyed on his 2nd form and then the Dark God statue springs to life to try and finish what Dracula started.
That was really good, I'm down at the final boss and trying to finish it without sucking too much. I've been using Alucard's bat form to avoid the fire pillars. It's a real pain in the rear but you can land two hits then fly away with no damage whatsoever.
The music is soooo intense! One of the best final boss experiences. The fact that there's no checkpoint before the boss only made my heart pump faster.
Still the hardest Castlevania for me. It's so random at so many points in the game, I can't quite handle it like I handle Castlevania 1 or Dracula X (both SNES and Rondo, although Rondo is pretty easy anyways). I've been following for a long while now, can't believe its been about 7 years now.
niespeludo I think that thexworst part is enemies appearing two locks into the screen instead of from the border sosometimes they appearvso fast that you have to remember they spwan there and start attacking before so you hit them thanks to the delay. My version also lagged a lot with more than three enemies ir secondary items on screen. It was way worse then the first game with enemy placement. I like it but a lot of levels are just cruel. Especially with the checkpoints
16 axes to beat Dracula's final form, and you have to jump and land each of them, without getting hit by lasers or falling in the pit in the center. Always save those sixteen axes for the demon form at the end. The hardest part of this is just staying on the ground, with that stupid floating ledge moving about catching your jumps, while you dodge the laser beam patterns and lob axes. But yes, this boss is ridiculously Dark Souls, the first few times you fight it. You even have to fight your way back to it, and scale a couple pendulums with bats over a bottomless pit, every time you fuck it up. And if you let the first form get too close to you, it will always trap you in an undodgable trio of flame pillars. Doing it with just the whip is a fucking nightmare. And then... the second run on hard mode with skulls instead of medusa heads just gets purely ridiculous.
The final form is SO much easier as grant, the lasers are much easier to dodge and if you jump to soon to hit the head, you can recover from it thanks to his controllable jump
It doesn't look hard, but after slaving away the entire game, it feels hard. The whole game drains you, making the bosses feel harder than they really are. Also, fuck that forest level. Fucking owls.
I love Draculas design in this. It's like The Blaspherion made flesh, but that of flesh is crushed by that of the "mountain", ( in this case, Belmont/ Belmondo).
I never expected this fucking thing in an NES game. Whenever you hit a face enough times, it would give out a death shriek and decay into a hollow skull. On the US cartridge, since the sound chip was more limited, we had an easier time hearing those shrieks.
@@unicoransowo1435 6 years late to the party, but look up the "shackled ur'zul" mount from WoW, it's probably the closest thing I've seen to HD form of Dracula's second form from this game
This greatly helped me out on figuring the first form, second form is piss-easy. Third form is giving me a little trouble with the platforms slowly giving me less and less room to the point where I fall off the ledge by mistake. Thanks, no less.
Second form is super easy, just grab a *3 Multiplier for the axe and never let up on throwing them. Third form is just a matter of finding a safe spot of where neither Dracula's lasers or the platforms will put you in a place of danger. Good luck to you.
I remember beating tis game with every character, even without them (I mean Sylpha, Grant, and Alucard). I LOVED tis game, and recently downloaded the Japanese version to my PSP (couldn't find the US ROM). Great video.
I still can't believe I cleared the 2nd quest of this game with all the characters as a child (got to love the bouncing skulls that replace the medusa heads...). By that point I had gotten so good I was able to bring the Lightning spell from the previous stage all the way to Dracula. Still didn't do it with no sub-items though :P
FUN FACT: Almost every Konami console game from the 8bit and 16bit era was harder in their western ports. Castlevania 1 had an easy mode option in Japan. The Contra sequels tended to have superior cheat codes, unlimited continues, or in one case a life bar that was removed from the western ports. Their famous beat-em-ups were usually toned down in Japan. Bayou Billy was so insanely tougher in its western release its practically a different game.
Distance is your friend. The farther away you are from Dracula, the farther apart the fire bars are, and the giant fire bar is controlled depending on where you are standing. This is present in US and Japan. I have a complete list of perfect runs for Castlevania 3 (Japan) if you want to see what I am talking about.
He’s a fallen angel, one of the Cherubim, represented with the eagle-like face. Angels have the ability to assume different forms (think T-1000) and the game designers know that, which is why they’ll sneak stuff like this into the game. Remember the boss of the previous level, the spirit that takes on your form? Same kind of thing.
The final level in the us version is way harder then in the japanese version, 1 if you die by the boss, you get sended back to the 2nd part of the level. 2 on those moving platforms, you do get interrupted by those annoying bags. 3 if you fight the 3th boss, he will shoot lasers at you in all directions including in up directions. 4 those spiders seems to appear at more places.
@PrivateeRyann He DID actually know how to do it. It shows a clip of AVGN trying to beat the second form. I think that the farther you stand away from Dracula in the first form the more open the space inbetween the flames.
The AVGN also does that stuff for comedy. I just finished the fight with Drac today. His first form was hardest, second a joke, third was so-so. It had one of the best NES endings though. I would compare it up there with Ninja Gaiden's.
Notice the graphics, you can see this is played on an emulator with save states. The emulators offer several types of vga filters to smooth the graphics, add scanlines etc.
Lol I decided to find a video like this right after i watched the AVGN video and it's either really not that hard or dude playing Castlevania here has some mad skills
In the first clip there should be enough room for the middle fire geyser and Belmont to say separate within the fire wall had the nerd just moved tactically. That's at 11:00. But the following 2 clips there aren't any room for both Belmont and the middle fire geyser to stay separate. He literally can't stand anywhere within the firewall without getting hit. I only played the first game so is that something that sometimes happens and the nerd was just being unfortunate?
The close flames happen when you are close to Dracula when he does the attack. Easy enough to prevent most of the time, but there is no indication that this is the case, and you have to be close to Dracula to attack him. Remember, on top of being comical and not always trying to be good, AVGN plays most his games from the perspective that there is no internet and no way to look this up as if it were the 80s/early 90s.
nice.some kids who have never played the old castlevanias would watch this and think that boss wasn't even hard.until you have that old block in your hands and you feel those old school controls and the way you have to time your jumps with your attacks.it's a challenge to beat period let alone no damage at all! you are the boss sir
@Vitacrucis True. The game is hard, but damn if it isn't fun. They made the US version more difficult here than the Japanese. His third form beams are longer and wider than the Japanese version.
Use the holy water trick. Start throwing holy water before he comes down, it will stun him and do damage as long as you keep throwing it. It might be the "cheap" way to do it but it was even recommended in manual for the next CV game. And it's better than never seeing the rest of such a great game.
no, i'm pretty sure i have the american version because the beams aren't smaller but they break apart along the floor which makes them harder to dodge..
That happens for the reason Arek stated. If you stand too close to Dracula, the pillars will be closer together. You can see that on both the Grant and Sypha videos from this channel, as well as how he avoids it with Grant.
I remember getting this game for christmas as a kid... It was one of my favorite games ever, but it was sooo difficult. I could never beat Dracula :( Still can't lol
speaking of the AVGN something is bugging me. In the AVGN video the flamme towers of phase 1 are way closer to each other than that one. He didnt had room to move at all. I wonder how comes its different on this one.
Hmm, i wonder at the beginning, when AVGN reviewed this, the 2 flames that trap you were way more close together so there was no way to avoid the third flame. I mean, i never played the game, but did he something wrong or is this just a little bit easier version of dracula?
@bcawthon2191 Syfa is the best char in the game... Freeze spell makes half the levels a breeze and her fireball spell does the most damage out of ever attack in game. True, she has to use hearts for every attack but it's just 1 heart per spell.
@soccerplayer252525 Maybe there are differnecies in the japaneese, american, and european versions? Or maybe he found a way to glitch the flames? Hmmm... I know he abused a glitch in a Ninja Gaidet (I think) game, to make it look harder than it was...
I started to think that you needed Alucard to turn into a bat to dodge the fire pillars, then I read the comment explaining how to avoid the fire. If you wondered what I meant about dodgeing the fire in bat form, I meant to fly out of them.
I really like the final boss music at the end of this game. The music speeds up a little and the tone gets higher when the demon appears after you kill the 5-headed creature.
What the? The 3rd boss form in my version of the game (Used an emulator : X) was much more harder! This is absolute weaksauce compared to the pattern he had when I fought him. He would shoot a tiny laser, than the laser stayed on screen, shooted another laser then it would repeat for a good 10 seconds. It was completely blocking you in corner and you couldn't escape unless you were on a flying platform... Also, I wasn't playing on the second loop. Could someone explain why is that?
Way to show everyone how it's done, man. I was intrigued to see how you did it with little trouble after seeing the AVGN's videos.
You're telling me, you have to make it all the way through the stage and fight three forms of Dracula without any continues or power ups? Are you mad?? How are you supposed to do that?? - Angry Video Game Nerd

This game aint that damn hard.
For Castlevania standards, it is the hardest imo
You make it look so easy!
Took the words right out of my mouth
@avengingknight Eh. Not really. The 2nd and 3rd forms can easily trip anyone up, and it's actually easier in the JPN version, particularly the 3rd form because his lasers are actually just generic shots that can go in any direction and aren't long as all fuck.
I know this game is beyond old, but something about this music and this fight just gets me all jazzed up. You fight well! Worthy of the name, Belmont.
The Nerd needs to see this
Jonathan S. came here from his Castlevania 3 vid
Israel Vazquez I always wondered why in his gameplay the flames appeared literally right next to each other
i thought the same thing

Good thing this game is now on the EShop.

My favourite classic Castlevania game along with Rondo of Blood. But I prefer the Japanese version of CV3 for multiple reasons.
Well, about a year later, Castlevania IV came out, so if they would've waited, 'Vania 3 would've been even _more_ impressive.
