_Everything_ about this theme. Its insanely fast rhythm. Its intimidating, foreboding percussion. Its eerie winds. Its demented keys. Its atmosphere of pure evil. The fact that it plays non stop until Death is beaten, after which follow several seconds of silence. All of it is perfect.
Oh this game IS awesome I've beaten it a number of times but I STILL feel Castlevania 4 is seriously underrated its also VERY difficult to beat one of the toughest video games I've ever beaten I can't even tell you how many times I lost just even GETTING to this point never mind the bosses themselves.
@@Nathan-rb3qp At least the game was way more forgiving, since when you reach Death you always respawn before Death, you don't have to go through the entire level again
This was always (and still is) my favorite part of the game. I love how in the background the sun is nearly coming up, but you have to fight Dracula's deadliest servants first. There's definitely a sense of climactic urgency. Plus the bosses are so awesome. Death's entrance always gave me the chills.
It's not that much of an exaggeration. Like many game covers and movie posters, it combines various set pieces and selling points from the game/movie to let the audience know exactly what they're in for. All that stuff on the cover does happen in the game in some shape or form, so calling it an exaggeration is pushing it.
death was easy here :/ stay in the left corner, whip when he gets near, hold the attack button and use the limp whip to shield from scythes. the hardest part was finishing, because i didn't wanna stop hearing the song. lol
@@silviatoledo8330 In my opinion Slogra is way harder than Death. Slogra's lunges are nearly impossible to avoid, unless you immediately start moving after hitting him, and that doesn't guarantee that you're safe. His first phase is fine though as long as you move away after hitting him and crouch before he comes down. When fighting Death, you can just stay in the left corner and hold UP+Y, to block all the small scythes that he throws at you
@Vyrisus I have never once looked forward to Slogra. Ever. The fact that you need to be crouched otherwise he sometimes hits you with his lance out immediately is infuriating and that's not even factoring the absurd invul frames he gets during the 2nd phase, which can mean death if he immediately lunges upon landing.
This music is over 30 years old and is still the most suspenseful video game music ever!!! Beating the grim reaper was always my favorite. The battle with Dracula was too normal.
I always had my strategies for Gaibon and Death... but Slogra? This miserable little pile of secrets has the worst attack pattern! With that in mind my heart nearly stopped when I played Castlevania SOTN for the first time and walked into the first boss room with BOTH Gaibon and Slogra in it! Little did I know how mighty Alucard is and how easy you can fight them. I was so relieved! Thanks Alucard! ❤
Boss: "You're placed on leave restriction, show up late again and you're fired!" You: "It won't happen again sir!" - Next Day - Your alarm goes off and your an hour late and fighting traffic on the road *Song plays*
man I at least they don't programed this part in a hard way, if you die at least you appears right on the boss that you arrived, I'm pretty sure if this would be a NES game you have to start all over again and fight all the bosses without die
I remember having practically no trouble at all with those bosses as a kid. Played it again recently on the SNES Classic and the only one who gave me any trouble was Slogra, and even then, I beat him after a few tries. Gabon, Death and Dracula were all cakewalks.
The trick to fighting Slogra is to crouch as he lands during his first phase to avoid the spear. You're going to want to stick to the edges of the screen during the second phase to have as much distance between you and him as possible due to his unpredictable dash. Make sure to jump after he lands during the second phase in case he decides to dash.
You knew it was about to get real when 1st heard this song. All the other bosses were mere child's play. Dracula wouldn't put these guys in front of him for no reason.
I've found a way to beat Slogra without relying on randomness. Do you know that his beak & projectile attacks are timed , and that the timer doesn't stop when you hit him and he goes up? So just wait for him to beak you and attack.. then when he comes down, run from him and wait for his attack again and strike him after that. That way he'll never land and attack faster than you can get away :D
I have no problem with slogra, there's a simple pattern, just keep on the pillars, hit him, wait in the middle, go to the other pillar. That's the pattern I follow and I usually make it out only hit once.
The first of these bosses used to be very hard when I was a 5 or 6 year old boy. It scared me a bit too, later I found out he looks like an Egyptian god...
I still remember how SCARED SHITLESS I got the first time I played and this theme started playing, only to lose TITANIC amounts of shit I didn't have when Death appeared. He's tougher than Dracula!
**Me 1st time listening:** "Oh! Boss music" **Defeats Birb monster thing** (still hearing boss music)"Wait there's another boss?" **Defeats 2nd boss** "Why there's still boss music?" **Defeats Death** "Finally!" **Dracula's theme is playing** "(Chuckles) i'm in danger"
I was barely past that b2 stage and heard this, thinking "fuck, it's gotta be a boss fight, right". I can't fail or need to do that damn floating platform again. The tension is real, then actually it has a checkpoint, that's some relieve, I rarely feel that in a game, which mean it's good.
Never mind the gargoyle and the grim reaper. They were easy. That damn bird was the one thing that ALWAYS killed my perfect scores. I could beat the other bosses without any problem! It always took me two or three tries to kill him. Even Dracula was easier than that bird!
When I first got to that part of the game, I knew it was going to take days, maybe weeks, to get past that level ... Where can I find ambient music just as majestic?
Slogra was the hardest boss in Castlevania 4 imo. At, as a kid i died to him more than the rest. Thank the devs the continue point was right before you fight him and not earlier in the level.

This is the best possible music to use as the build-up to the final battle. In any game, movie, or other medium that uses music. Ever.
Yes, secret commandos will be listening to this on their earpieces as they approach putins secret room.

As soon as i listened to this track when i was a kid and reached this level, my heart started going so fast. That feeling makes a game awesome!!!!

We can all agree that Gaibon is pretty much the weak link of this mini-boss daisy chain.

As a kid i remember getting to this part like at 1am and being scared of the music LOL good times.
Slogra, Gaibon and Death. Your worst nightmares in this part of the game.
Gaibon was a sh*tty boss. I could beat with hands behind my back. But Slogra was the incarnation of hell 😰😰😰
This is my favorite track in all of Castlevania and the most intimidating Castlevania track of all-time imo.
man I at least they don't programed this part in a hard way, if you die at least you appears right on the boss that you arrived, I'm pretty sure if this would be a NES game you have to start all over again and fight all the bosses without die

Basically "Through the Fire and Flames" for Harpsichord players

Death was a fuckin' hardcore fight the first couple times I ever got that far...
You'd have to be a demon to play this on the piano.
Nothing says "shit's about to get (more) real" quite like this.
How do you even come up with a song like this. Holy mother of Hades.

THAT PIANO THO

Sigma: I have an army of mavericks at my command!
Bowser: My Koopalings are the most loyal and dangerous!
Dracula: Death, get those mf's.
Slogra: the only boss in the game that the triple boomerang cross DOESNT work on.
"Death" Metal.
I always had the hardest time fighting Slogra.. Dracula isn't as challenging for me. He's the toughest Boss in the game imo.
I've found a way to beat Slogra without relying on randomness.
Do you know that his beak & projectile attacks are timed , and that the timer doesn't stop when you hit him and he goes up?
So just wait for him to beak you and attack.. then when he comes down, run from him and wait for his attack again and strike him after that.
That way he'll never land and attack faster than you can get away :D
Kinda shows how powerful Alucard is when he makes short work of Slogra and Gaibon at the same time.
Slogra is clearly the hardest boss in super castlevania 4
I don't know why but this game was one of my all time favorites despite its simplicity its music was similarly good.
This should have been the standard boss theme.
I have no problem with slogra, there's a simple pattern, just keep on the pillars, hit him, wait in the middle, go to the other pillar. That's the pattern I follow and I usually make it out only hit once.

Seeing death powering up at 1:09 was just like a cherry on top of the cake
Masterpiece theme that suits to the king of death 💀

**Defeats Death**
"Finally!"
**Dracula's theme is playing**

@karasuman78 Epic is basically a story of an adventure, such as the Odyssey or Beowulf. I guess Castlevania usually does qualify as an epic, in a way.
