Castlevania Dracula X (SNES) Final Boss Dracula - No Damage, No Sub Weapons

[@htzheng9064]

That day, Dracula finally realized the best way to defeat a vampire hunter is not turning into giant monster or shooting fireballs crazily. He just needs to not repair the floor.

[@Travigameis]

Just before Richter got there, Dracula remembered a great joke Death had told him earlier.

[@silentfanatic]

He was thinking of all the poor saps who would be opening this game up on Christmas morning, 1996, thinking it would be an SNES port of Rondo of Blood. No, I'm not still bitter.

[@Hayao]

Jason X At least they ended up with a better game.

[@silentfanatic]

Now that's just blasphemy.

[@Hayao]

Jason X Sorry man, I love both but I honestly prefer Dracula XX. Mainly due to the graphics and the music, and also that the Dracula fight is so much better - though I'll admit, Rondo of Blood has a much better selection of bosses over all, especially the CV1 re-fights.

[@silentfanatic]

Well it certainly isn't an awful game, and it does get somewhat unfairly maligned by modern gamers.

[@retrogamingguitarist5961]

Man, whoever designed this game REALLY liked bottomless pits. The most apparent being here.

[@ryandonahue6214]

bottomless pits with some random portals to other levels

[@taylorholmstrom248]

I know bottomless pits have always been classic Castlevania's thing, but this game went a tad overboard. The fact that falling into one pit in particular can lock you into the bad ending is bad enough, but who in the world thought Dracula needed to be fought over one? Yeah, Rondo of Blood's Dracula was a cakewalk, but there's gotta be a happy medium between the two.

[@claudiourrutiaaranguiz9281]

also Richter's controls are so clunky in this game, it doesn't help that much

[@123doomdoom]

And no invisibility time after being hit.

[@msw0322]

Just imagine if this was the official boss fight for Rondo of Blood instead. Probably nobody would be able to start Symphony of the Night.

[@aidankeogh9994]

There has never been a Dracula ever to sound THIS much like Count Von Count.

[@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக்]

One FireBall...Two FireBall... Three FireBall.. Hahahaha

[@niespeludo]

For those people looking for "an easy way" or tips to beat this boss there's basically 2 major tips: 1) Pick the Axe, don't even doubt it, pick it 2) The secret to this boss is something not many people realize until someone tells them - You get NO KNOCKBACK if you're attacked while crouching. This is FUNDAMENTAL for this fight if you don't want to die an easy death and you aren't looking for a perfect run.

[@5434345]

This mechanic is disabled in Hard mode.

[@maxpain5506]

With the Cross you can hit his first form up to 4 times if timed it right.

[@sdgdhpmbp]

The axe does double normal damage already, and the arc is really helpful to reach Dracula's head from most positions. Most of all, the axe will also be extra effective against the second form. This fight is cheap for sure, but it's not like you don't have the tools and knowledge to beat it in one sitting. Rondo of Blood's version was possibly the easiest classic Dracula fight and that's why Dracula X had to buff him this match. Even Symphony of the Night acknowledges how easy the fight was by making it the prologue of the game.

[@rareroe305]

One of the proudest gamer moments of my life was beating this with the best ending. It took many attempts.

[@brandonhatch2154]

Rescuing the girls or beating Lord Dracula? Because Maria Renard's rescue was the pain in the ass to me, having to keep that key while bats and ground enemies were trying to kill you, and then go through the door to the level where Annette is held captive. If you recorded the passwords after getting Maria and Annette, the battle was halfway won!

[@rareroe305]

Both. Rescuing the girls is probably harder because there's more places to screw up, but Dracula takes a ton of patience.

[@brandonhatch2154]

rareroe305 I've currently got his first form down, and his second form was brought to a quarter inch from death before the blue concussive wave got me. If only I performed an Item Crash then, I'd save myself from doing this one more time!

[@Mr_x_19922]

one of my proudest gamer moments was beating castlevania 3 for the nes, wich is a harder game

[@UmbrellaManagement]

@@brandonhatch2154 I know I'm 7 years late on this, but playing today I found using the item crash with the Key can be helpful because enemies pass through you and if they touch the key they die

I remember beating this game... it took me all morning long to finally beat it... ugh painful.

While I was watching this my dad was watching the movie Van Helsing downstairs. Right as it gets to the part where Dracula dies in this video, I hear Dracula from the movie downstairs scream, "VAN HELSING!!!!" Most epic thing ever.

The most powerful thing in this battle is neither Richter nor Dracula, but the floor. It's like a secret test of character. You must not be greedy and try to get too many hits in. Or else that's it for you.

[@Ollie7475]

@capgamer, sometimes if you're at the edge of a platform and you fall in the opposite direction, you don't fall into the pit. I used an emulator, so it might not work on an actual SNES.

[@WillieManga]

I do like the artistic renditions of the Rondo of Blood ending. For some reason seeing the sun rise and then Dracula's face one last time makes it somber. Despite his death, the cycle will continue once he wakes again. And he may even be a little... remorseful about it.

[@timmyjimmy7413]

Dracula has a much better laughing sound in this game than in rondo

[@KCB05_Cosplays]

FR! The sound design for this game was just WOW! Easily my favorite Dracula laugh with the Japanese Portrait of Ruin version being a runner up Oh yeah! And evil Soma's laugh from Dawn of Sorrow is another great one!

That was very well done! Still, I prefer the original version of Dracula X (PC Engine) over this one. It's so much better!

[@dmas7749]

How long have you been playing games? You're a lot better than I am. This is still one of the hardest bosses I ever fought. I hardly use subweapons when I play a Castlevania game, but I do like Richter's flame whip attack. * after falling off ledge for 18th time * If I had Frenzy Whip, Dracula, YOU WOULD BE F**KING DEAD RIGHT NOW!!

@EveryoneCry, So you are saying that his cape gives him immunity to damage? Why not wear a hood then? Sure it will look stupid, but at least he will be indestructible. Also, in PoR, he takes damage in his upper body, most of which is covered with his cape.

[@sumaesyecats]

@tsknelson u can actually survive alot of his hits if they knock u onto a different platform or if u are holding down on the d pad, so basically not all hits from him will end in death

[@lamegag]

@MetroidCommando Most likely to try and give off the impression that he's not phased by it but little does he know, we can see his lifebar.

[@osoxyagami]

@simplyxwilliam No, rondo of blood is for another sistem, the SNES cartdirge was unable to keep all the info for rondo of blood, so Konami took some parts of it, added some other to make it kid of original and then make Dracula X, so they are diferent in teh game, but the same in teh background story.

[@yeremiapatuan4877]

Not only the platforms, but also he has greater speed and attack in this version compared to Rondo of Blood.

Castlevania Dracula X (Snes) is the reduced (port) version of Akumajou Dracula X Chi No Rondo (Castlevania Rondo Of Blood)... Rondo Of Blood is the direct prequel to SotN. Castlevania Dracula X is a retelling.

[@scorpula441]

Cool....this is what I call a battle...the music is awesome...pure bad ass.=)

[@alexgodzillafan3328]

I never fully understood why when Dracula transforms, he is susceptible to damage on any part of his body (at least most of the time). I mean if his humanoid form only takes damage in the head of upper body, why lower your physical durability? I never liked Dracula only taking damage in the head, it just confuses me how the VAMPIRE KILLER, cannot damage his VAMPIRE body.

[@WafflumW]

The only problem is that if you know how to survive taking a hit, you pretty much know how to not take damage anyways, so it's almost a mute point. Especially on the first form. Maybe not as much for the second form.

Man this is awesome, I love it! 12/16/2024

So I'm guessing that this game was the predecessor to Symphony of the Night. This has the same music as the beginning of SOTN and it says it's the final stage in SOTN.

[@DaedalosC9]

Rondo of Blood was more accurated to the predecessor, u will notice by the Dracula Sprite Dracula X was the westernized version for SNES, is good and has a more challenging Dracula as u can see but lacks a lot of content from Rondo while at same time has its own exclusive zones
