[@FoxNamedLuke]

My favorite is definitely Julius Belmont from Aria of Sorrow. It's just such a unique twist on the formula, where you fight a Belmont as Dracula and overall such a quick, but extremely intuitive fight.

[@alexcarrion1967]

Agree. The moment when he does the grand crux and you can see the castle crumbling in the background, so badass

[@spimbles]

quick as in quick paced, right? that fight took me like 8 tries and it lasted roughly 5 minutes on the final attempt when i was at level 45 with the Claimh

[@derekmann8239]

Puppet Master has to be the most metal boss, right? He's the Master of Puppets AND he has Iron Maidens!

[@joshuachristiansen4253]

If I had to be honest that was the utmost interesting comment because its true 😂.

[@MPARASKA]

Hahahahahhaah he truly goes up the irons

[@gustavomartinsdesouza5548]

I believe SotN bosses lack one very important thing... That's certainly HP.

[@SaguraXSousuke]

Use the tyrfing and nerf yourself :)

[@SaguraXSousuke]

Or go high luck but no armor allowed :3

[@drizzysetx7867]

Especially galamoth, many I remember back then I would retry so many times because he wouldn’t die lol

[@fullmeth-alalchemist5738]

@@SaguraXSousuke actually I accidentally used that sword to kill death and didn't notice until I wanted to switch back to my loadout

[@SaguraXSousuke]

@@fullmeth-alalchemist5738 Ah haha XD well, must of been a good fight.

[@matthagen67]

The best Castlevania boss would be Dracula/Death combo from the Portrait of Ruin. You don't get more metal than that!

Fuck yeah thats a brooootal boss fight

[@Rashaed]

You got a point but Dracula doesn't WALK in POR.

[@hanselbarlowe2575]

It's my fave, too 2v2 fight 👍

[@CarlosSilva-bh4bi]

Order of Eclessia tries to Seduce Shanoa and has the most eccenical music of all times and Draculla gets pranked and blueballed to hell with a Dominus on his face

[@Radish.com.0]

@@CarlosSilva-bh4bi you know what makes it better. Dracula can walk instead of just teleporting.

[@sapphyregaming]

puppet master scares the shit outta me

[@mammothplant]

Good taste. Happy to see Gergoth so high up there.

[@saber9mm881]

When I first faced it in DoS I didn’t want to kill it cause I thought it was so cool

[@egorg.5477]

I agree that too

[@nianderwallace4776]

I love its lovacraftian flavor and difficulty done right

[@bernardmartins1093]

Yeah... people with good taste plays charlote.

[@KliKaeL]

Did you know you can actually hide IN ITS OPEN RIBCAGE when it crashes on you ? Pretty tight fit, but you can. Also I was quite young the first time I "met" it, and it scared the shit out of me, especially when it screams and you realise its skin just retract like a glove around its face. Yuck. Plus it is a big boss in such a small space, no wonder its pissed. I really like him :)

[@caseydouglas412]

Ahh the memories ,portrait is definitely up there for me as one of the best castlevania games but I would love to play sotn tbh

[@LemonnNote]

I've been dying to play sotn for years. I've missed my chance to play it twice.... 1. When I was a very young child, my dad had a copy of sotn, but since I was very young and could barely hold a controller, I had to watch my brother play it instead. But later on, my dad's ps1 broke and he gave his copy away to his brother. 2. My brother has the mobile port of sotn, but he won't let me play it because he thinks the controlls suck, and he thinks my first playthrough of the game should be on a console. He soon deleted his mobile port and I can't convince him to download it again. I hope one day I can get a chance to play it

[@angelh4399]

@@LemonnNote Could you finally try it?

[@KaosNova2]

Symphony of the night is available on Android and iPhone now. You could also just get a PlayStation one classic with many PS1 games just built into it and play it that way

[@caseydouglas412]

@@KaosNova2 thank you I was able to get it on my Samsung and it was great ! It felt a bit easy though with the Alucard.

[@KaosNova2]

@@caseydouglas412 Never gets easier than Castlevania 4 where you can just swing the whip all over the place and just hold it up as an unstoppable shield. Alucard gets easier when you get soul steal.

[@Wedeemgaming]

Most of these bosses I never heard of... There is a lot of Castlevania I haven't played.... Got to get on that!

[@burrito4614]

Adramalech has always been my favorite for some reason

[@palletdrop3297]

One of Pazuzu's attacks is to summon imps and, damn, he makes the most drippy pose of all videogames, he just sees you with a "Hmm, lets see if you survive this, mortal"

[@THOR--l_l]

DRACULA CIRCLE OF THE MOON

[@jimmythegrunt7371]

One of my absolute favorites is still the fake trio from SOTN. It's such a treat to the long time fans of the series!

[@blackcat09tails55]

This video didn't give many of the bosses a chance to show how powerful they really are

[@chucksolo6617]

The werewolf in front of the moon howling was 🔥!!!

[@Noperiety]

the dawn of sorrow death fight iss far better and more difficult than most of the other dawn of sorrow fight on here

[@Terarien]

For sure better than in symphony of the night

[@akhandtripathipyz9888]

Classic castlevania doesn't get enough love Dracula in super castlevania 4 is 🐐

[@thenightmare2495]

number 1+ Julius Belmont

[@Rhaegar_Targaryen03]

Second form dracula from circle of the moon. Hardest version of dracula

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

This is a pretty good list and Dracula definitely belongs at the top, but a couple very memorable ones I feel that you left out are Brachyura from Order of Ecclesia and Koranot from Super Castlevania IV.

[@alibayati8250]

the giant enemy crab has no buisness being here unless it's top 10 deaths list then he's number one

[@hdofu]

I like how the video clip art literally shows a boss who looks more than a little like Kimkoh

[@kevinalexandre9670]

Respect to those who defeated Galamoth without Crisaegrim

[@mr.sniffly5297]

Or alucard shield + shield rod

[@C.A.Blaylock76]

How is the Forgotten One from LoI not on here?

[@rmwua]

My God that things was so gross and terrifying

[@nay_nay3212]

Mostly these bosses are basically only order of ecclesia Symphony of night y Aura of Sorrow You forgot many other games like judgment or like the old ones too

[@obi-wan1050]

Aura of sorrow lol

[@obi-wan1050]

Literally the most part is from dawn of sorrow, no aria of sorrow

[@nay_nay3212]

Obi-Wan Kenobi my bad, it’s been a year so I’m sorry

[@Capybarainahumansuit]

I like death shaft and dracula. Storywise they all seem important and cool. Also the succubus was a unique boss.

[@soulreaver1983]

Absolutely outstanding video many thanks

[@BelleDividends]

Boss 19 Galamoth took WAY more damage when hit in the head than in the legs or other body parts. I could only defeat after focussing my strategy on headhunting.

[@metroid158]

So number 8 on your list is DIO Brando

[@cjmania1980]

The best dracula fight is certainly not the one in order of ecclisia

[@vilesparza438]

agreed best dracula fight might be in Sotn or CoD

[@black0angelo285]

Or maybe Circle of the Moon

[@cyberend1863]

I found the one in OoE to be a nice change of pace. I thought it was interesting to see him just become more engaged than change into some enormous demon.

[@black0angelo285]

@Sam Pepper It's the better, because its the begining, the real fight is against Nuculais, that white thing is really dangerous in battle.

[@naomisisk4663]

Best one is from Aria of Sorrow, because there is none. Good riddance.

[@Willadin]

Should add the final form of Dracula from circle of the moon. Probably the most awesome design for a Dracula boss.

[@naomisisk4663]

Awesome design, but have you gone through it's second phase? you're spending more time in the menu shuffling through cards than fighting the boss. And the music wears you down after awhile.

[@nracicot]

Konami, please make a collection of the portable Castlevania games.

[@miciso666]

welp u where heard gratz. they made the classic and gba ones so far. now waiting on the ds series.

[@Rashaed]

Legion was placed better in Portrait of Ruin.

[@spimbles]

man the boss death animations are so awesome in SOTN, i wish every other game had such extravagant collapse animations. they just kinda explode and fall apart most of the time lmfao

[@supremeseregios6810]

Opinions on bosses: 20. They're creepy and quite tedious with how many times you have to avert your attention to destroy the puppets. Only redeeming factor is the music really. 19. They have supposed relevance to the plot, and are extremely powerful. *Unless you use the Shield Rod with the Alucard Shield, you cowards.* 18. Surprisingly awesome for a boss that doesn't use his hands, or have much head animation. Dunno why they're awesome, but hey, they are now. 17. Ah yes, everyone's favourite corspe sphere of another name. Honestly feels like they get bigger over the course of game release. 16. Only time would tell us that this boss would become not just a companion, but damn well the most popular character in the series. Fight is kinda meh though in my opinion. 15. As a person who recently played Harmony of Dissonance, this boss is very good. Of course, I mostly used the Fire Spellbook and Axe Combo, but they're effective enough. 14. Very great use of mythology to make this boss amazing to fight. Good bosses almost always come from DoS. 13. Yeah nah, I don't like this one. It's design is silly, the boss itself is frustrating, and I don't think it's worth playing the boss rush for. 12. To be honest, Portrait of Ruin did this kind of boss better, with better size, appearence, etc, but it's at least better than the femme fatale version of it from chronicles. 11. Should've made the head the weak point and the armour invulnerable to damage, but that would make this unfair for a 'first boss'. 10. A great fight against this Castlevania Icon. But why, oh why do their forms have to always be so... weird? 9. At least this fight against them isn't as bad as SotN. But they made it more creative at least with all the hidden trinkets they have. 8. If Dio Brando made his best impression of Edward Scissorhands, and became a Castlevania Boss. That's all I'm saying. 7. You escape this thing during the intro, and you finally get to fight it. Talk about build up! If only there were extra stages to this boss... 6. They walk around.... They smash axe.... Axe make shockwaves.... You jump.... That's it. 5. From being a random enemy in the Boss Rush of AoS, now becomes a full fledged boss in OoE.... Except in concept, they're much worse....... Oof. 4. Yeah, this boss is cool, especially when falling through the floor. 3. 7.8/10 Too much size. Too much weakpoints. Still kinda good. 2. Basically The Creature on Steroids. But a very great boss to fight, that's for sure. 1. Who else?

[@vortis18]

Great ranking. I miss only the fight against Barlowe

[@miciso666]

yea i was like o nr2 has to be barlowe or the gun dude... right?? also draculaXdeath. somacula. are one of the COOLEST fights ever. imagine playing julius yoko AND alucard himself. against soma who was turned dracula. who now has his power of dominance he doesnt use every soul. thank god. but still the feeling u get when u know what his arsenal can have.

Not a bad list and it's good that you were giving recognition to some underrated bosses rather than just multiple iterations of Dracula and Death, but I don't get why Sir Grakul was on this list, particularly as high up as he was. He was so underwhelming I wouldn't have put him on the list at all, let alone just outside the top 5. Did you just want to get at least one boss from Super Castlevania IV in, and you thought all the others were worse?

Galamoth should've placed much higher than 19. Also if you could put the bosses, you could have put the Castlevania game titles on each one time. Pretty lazy.

[@murda9324]

Yep, galamoth is one of the toughest fight in SOTN ( if you don't just stand behind him), personnaly one of my fav' boss with Olrox. Not agree with this top.

[@felipeconstantino9004]

@@murda9324 I disagree with you. Galamoth is not that hard, he just has a lot hp, and if you equip "beryl circlet" that makes you immune to lightning, the fight becomes trivial, even more with Alucard shield + shield rod, but Olrox I think it's a good boss.

I dont really like Eclessia, it was a little sad for me that most of the monsters came from that game.

[@miciso666]

20 really? so dull 19 yeah i see why unless u cheese him. 18 sure kinda engaging fight. kinda hard no matter how good you are. i died a few times on other ''character'' runs 17 granfaloon/legion always a mediocre fight sure it looks dope first run but its still a big ball 16 the og dracula. eh.... sure? 15 feels like malphas but more lame. 14 creative boss but not enough moves but i do like the style. and its a challenge on a no damage no mp run. 13 lame but the water mechanic for once was nice and refreshing. 12 felt like a true boss. hard patterns many moves. 8/10 11 first time i faced him it felt like i had to try and kill a boss in the newer series. 10 one of the cooler deaths in the series. next to rondo of blood who is the hardest imho. 9 kinda eh compared to the lower bosses. 8 ah the JOJO MEME and a meme it was. such a pushover he could of been made a tad harder. 7 the less cooler version of a golem from aria and dawn. im sorry this boss was so lame i often forget he exists. 6 ur gameplay showed it best. total pushover. 5 this being a boss again after aria put him in boss rush felt weird. so many better boss designs 4 ah gergoth one of my favourite beat sticks in dawn and the ps3 game where u can team up. kinda cool boss design with the 2 stages. many attacks 3 interesting idea how u can climb it. many parts. yeah i see why top 3? 2 goliath? i mean... he is kinda cool but uhm where is the real good and cool shit.... dracula from ecclesia. draculaXdeath portrait. hell even somacula dawn... 1 dracula ecclesia. so much more would of fit here. but this boss felt like such an anime trope of.... i cant beat him i will kill myself. my top 3 no specific order somacula : in dawn on julius mode with alucard and yoko u face against soma after he lost his mind seeing his girlfriend die. draculaXdeath : in portrait of ruin you play as 2 heroes jonathan and charlotte. so death thinks: we can do that to. and the most intense battle ensues. dracula rondo of blood : just an epic fight with a few boss phases.
