- Castlevania 3 Boss 18 Dracula - No Damage, No SubWeapons. Played by ArekTheAbsolute. To everyone who came here after watching AVGN's review...
The fire pillars on first form are NOT undodgeable. The farther you are from Dracula, the more space will fire pillars give to dodge. Now please stop posting stupid comments assuming that this is an easier/top secret/otherwise different version of the game.
Emulator: VirtuaNES 0.92 with default palette and 2xSaI filter. Nothing else.
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
And this guy does it without getting hit a single time...
The spaces between the flames are WAY bigger then in AVGN's version...??
I swear AVGN is going to die of a heart attack, stroke or cerebral hemorrhage 10 years from now.
@@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.
@dfectedRO Ohh, thanks for the explanation ;)
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.
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.
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 :)
iJerseyDevil I never did beat it. Got to the 3rd form and died after about 500plus times 30 years and still trying
This game aint that damn hard.
For Castlevania standards, it is the hardest imo
Once I got there, I saved and kept playing this scene just because of how hard it was to get this far. Dracula had to pay for the long road beforehand.
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
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
@@Robert96902 ok. More amazed this got responded to so many years later though
Those 8-bit screams
They're sampled, actually. The NES had a sound channel for PCM sounds, but only one
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.
0:43, Trevor- Well that's a stupid thing to do Dracula. I don't think that form has a very stable biological structure.
Lol. 'Castlevania III in brief' Gold!
Dracula: Oh yeah..... *dies*
@@SomeGuyandanAmbulance Victory!
@@tuazulyrojoeljean Indeed comedy gold. AE Double should think about making full length parody movies. I would watch it all the time :)
Something about Castlevania III Dracula's Curse
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.
Dracula has a long history of getting his face whipped to pieces...
This was his very first battle
@@samuelpounds1475 I don’t know whether to count his battle against Leon or not
@@tseriesisadisease3090 I don't think he actually fought Leon
@@spark1400 he didn’t you’re right
@@spark1400 this comment was made before I actually beat Lament of Innocence
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.
manual
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
I had no idea the big boss music from Circle of the Moon was a remix. That's pretty cool.
Cornbinks it's true :3
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.
Man, the sound effect for Dracula's final form being hit rules.
"well thats a stupid thing to do Dracula, i dont think that kind of form is a very stable biological structure"
Oh yeah. *faints*
Took me 3 days and this guy took minutes bruh you're a legend.
I beat the Japanese version in a few minutes, the American version is way harder took me hours
I can't wait to see this animated on Netflix.
@Starscream91 Sad to hear that. But that's the problem with modern Castlevania. They take the material way too seriously.
It was more like SotN 2 :v
@@ico128 no, they just tend to reference symphony of the night which is the popular game
Boy do I have sad news for you....
They even ditched Grant
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.
There not as bad if you throw your boomerang
God, that face form is creepy. But I suppose that was the intention.
Imagine the face form.... In HD!
Don't worry I'm terrified too
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
"You should use axes, Trevor"
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).
The graphics in this game are great (considering). The music is great, too. The sound effects are very satisfying, too.
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.
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
Wait, if they're able to implement that for other characters, then why haven't the Belmonts been given the proper treatment? Lol
This Dracula is what all of Dr. Wily's robots wanted to be when they grew up.
This Third form of Dracula is the coolest thing i've seen before SotN final boss (Dracula in his throne flying)
Good thing this game is now on the EShop.
The level was so much harder than the boss is but the boss is way more satisfying to beat.
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.
***** Beat the game (again, thanks to this) not too long ago. It was exciting to finally beat this game legitimately!
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.
Very patient in this strategy!
Oh.
Dracula can shape-shift apparently.
Dracula could always shapeshift, even in the original book.
Yeah, but he didn't turn into demons or dragons in the original book. Just wolves, bats, mist, and IIRC rats as well.
Gotta make it interesting, man. Castlevania's Dracula isn't killed by a bowie knife and a kukri in this version either.
Garfield Vikernes : Well, that's because he is the lord of the creatures of the night.
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.
0:43 Is one of the coolest boss forms EVER
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
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.
It's weird how they changed Alucard's design from this game to Symphony of the night, either way it worked
The wonders of beauty sleep!
He looks badass either way. Honestly wish his original design was a skin. Classic Dracula look never gets old.
I tried to hold my tears bacl before Dracula was Killed, who knew you'd feel sorry for the the Symbol of Halloween! 😢😢🦇💔
Kevin Luna Is it the shrieks he gives? Trust me, you'll especially feel bad once you've watched the Netflix anime.
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.
I was amazed I did this today with one bar of health left. You have got some serious skills.
I just beat this game, at 12:10 a.m. And I even defeated Dracula as Alucard! And it was the first time I ever beat NES Castlevania 3!
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.
Nicely done.
I knew AVGN was doing something wrong. Anyway, you made this battle look so easy, congrats!
You're a brave soul for taking on Dracula with the dagger! I prefer to use the axe - it's a lot easier to handle the final form with.
Now THAT'S a Belmont!
Defeating Dracula with only the whip...You sir are a true Belmont
Which EMU are you using for this video I've used jnes, and some other one I forget the name of
@Bendetoma
Unless you stand very close to Dracula the flames will give some space to avoid third flame.
just wondering how this will be in the anime on netflix sense its based on the third game and dracula has 3 forms
Holy hell, this is true skill. I bow to you, sir.
You made this look easy,well done.
Damn. How long did it take you to find the best strategy for his final form? I remember falling into the holes countless times...
the closer you are to dracula, the less space between the flames
his second form is really scary
Man, that was impressive, i'm guessing that patience is the name of the game, good video.
0:40 I dread to see what that would look like in HD
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.
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
I only used VirtuaNES 0.92 with default palette and 2xSaI filter. Nothing else.
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.
Why is in AVGN video the flames are so close?
Oh wow... O.O I heard this was the hardest. Bravo to you.
@filipepw
It is the same version, but since it's an emulator he changed the graphics filter.
To everyone who came here after watching AVGN's review...
The fire pillars on first form are not undodgeable. The farther you are from Dracula, the more space will fire pillars give to dodge. Now please stop posting stupid comments assuming that this is an easier/top secret/otherwise different version of the game.
@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.
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.
SO. FUCKING. HARD. I just beat this game for the first time today. Hardest Castlevania i've ever played, no doubt about it. Such a classic.
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
Bravo young man, bravo
In my friend's version, which I played 5 years ago, his third form could also shoot all of those lasers randomly from ceiling and walls.

@Shadowserg hey how come the fire does not hit u at the beginning is it the difficulty level on easy or is it a dif version? cause i never can get away, thanks in advance
Well i use the FCEU, i will chek if it has that option, its like the x2 sal rite?
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
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.
now i understand the origin of that strange bird like statue in the skeleton den in harmony of dissonance anyway nice job man
not too difficult, but AVGN sure scared a lot of people away from wanting to play this complaining it was too hard, lol. also simon's quest deserves a nod, it too was one of the more fun CVs. memorable soundtrack as well.
You lie in your description! It clearly stats, No Damage but Dracula takes plenty of damage!
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.
This player is a master.
you sir, are a god amongst men
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.
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?
@Tuby1395 That shouldn't change the actual gameplay... Unless there is also a PC version, but I've never heard of that?
Patience is a virtue.
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?
Hey Shadowserg, could I use your footage for remixes I'm doing in the future? I'll be sure to credit you and link the resulting videos once they're made. Thanks
Meanwhile, Hector is fighting Isaac after he tracked Hector in Rosally's village.
is this a different version of Castlvania 3? Because I watch a review of the game complaining about the final boss having undodgible attacks. And it showed a video of him getting cornered in the two pillars of fire ( during the boss' first form) with no room to doge the attack.
But in this video, the pillars of fire that come from the floor are spaced farther apart. So I'm just curious if they had to come out with an easier version of the game.
That is 1 hell of a chicken, a 50 foot tall laser shooting chicken on steroids.
Thanks for the explanation:) Didn't read the info of the video:)
Definitely the most difficult games of all the original Castlevania NES games. Unlike CV1, the bosses are quite weak, you can deal a lot of damage on them with any character, and kill them somewhat quickly, but the levels, goddamn... Enemies are so powerful, the beginning is okay but at the end, enemies tear you 4 health bars each time they hit you. You can die in only 4 hits, that's fucking insane especially in the parts with flying shielded skeletons and fireball-shooting skulls... arrrrgh, the castle climbing level (where you fight the doppelganger) was so unfair. Great game, not my favorite but still a classic.
Try the Japanese release, hits are much more fair.
@Shadowserg Did you send this to AVGN so he'd actually know how to beat this guy? XS
AVGN would be proud
where you'll have some weird lingering parts of it that were slightly off from the rest of the lasers?
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.
How did you get the graphics so smooth? As in the pixels smoothed out like paint? It looks awesome.
It's an filter known as hq4x
@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.
That looked tricky, well done!
OK, so it must be the 2xSal. Welp, and I see you added it to the description x)
