I'd like to think that Dracula held back against Alucard, because even after all that still it's his son, Galamonth however hates Dracula AND his son, so that's how he's so brutal when you fight against him
"Dracula isn't a pleasant fellow" I don't know, he is actually pretty chill before fighting you. Except when he is going "HUMANS ARE NOT WORTH THE AIR THEY BREATHE WRYYYYYY"

You reminded me of the ZP review of this game. "Alucard is so stupidly overpowered that the game becomes way too easy at the end. At one point, you gain the power to hurt enemies in mist form when they can't attack you, which I think is the game's way of saying "Will you stop messing around and just go to the fucking final boss room already!"
Exactly. If you beat THE bonus boss of the game (there are a few others, like Beelzebub, but this is the worst), you should just get on with it and get to the damn Final Boss.
Indeed, that is easily one of Symphony of the Night's biggest flaws: it is much too easy to break the game and make it a cakewalk, even without these endgame items

I remember accidentally stumbling into the crissaegrim on my first playthrough of this when I was seven, really took the terror out of my first galamoth encounter
Imagine this situation: Alucard: who are you? Galamoth: i am galamoth, the future king of the netherworld. Alucard:why are you here? Galamoth: in order to rule the netherworld i need to get rid of that vampire Dracula. Alucard: then we have the same purpose, i think we can make a deal. We team up to defeat him. Galamoth:k 5 minutes later Dracula: so, my son, you came here to... OH NO IT'S YOU.
I doubt I will ever be able to defeat Galamoth without using the Alucard shield or other cheesy items. Just be glad you don't fight him on a bunch of pillars over an insta-death pit
Ayyy I can see Dracula gave you such a hard time in Dracula X SNES, the trick is to duck down so you don’t get knocked back if you get hit by his Fireballs. Works every time. The Axe is the best weapon to use against him since it goes in an Arch. In his second form is when you really need to be careful, use item crashes for Invincibility.
Well to be honest galamoth its not that hard once you know what he's doing (he's super cool tho) there is plenty of ways to kill him without getting hit, and without using the cheesy items. You can, for example, just turn to mist when he does the lightning attack and get between his legs, then you get back to normal and attack, then you mist to get out of there and repeat. Another (much cooler) way its to do the same, but instead of the mist you use hellfire, this is how i beat him in the "hardtype" hack, he does not do lightning damage so you can't absorb his attacks, also they made the shield rod two handed so good luck with that (there's other ways to do the shield spells but its pretty expensive). With richter tho... there's a way but you have to be GOOD
Every HP upgrade Richter gets, increases his HP max by about "5" points. This may not seem like much, because Richter has low starting hp. After 5 or 6 hp upgrades, you've added somewhat to his max HP. This is quite unnoticeable, because most enemies progressively do more damage as the game goes on, and Richter's armor (damage reduction) which is set on a fixed number (30 if I recall), does not increase in any shape way or form. If you fight all the bosses, and collect all the hidden HP upgrades, Richter's max HP is "almost" 400 by the time you get to Shaft. It is pointless to fight Shaft with all the upgrades to health, as Richter, since many of Richter's item crush attacks fare to outright destroy him. Richter can collect 44 health upgrades throughout the entire game (there are three that don't appear for him, due to bosses not showing up, such as succubus and death, and another one that's an alucard-only starting bonus). Playing as Richter is a proverbial power trip, since he doesn't get much stronger (damage going out, which jumps slightly once you get to the inverted castle) but actually gets weaker (damage coming in from progressively tougher enemies), the further you get into the game as him, the more and more you're going to just be using your biggest and baddest attacks to lay waste to enemies, before they can harm you. Playing as Richter is actually considered to be much more enjoyable of a challenge, if you're doing a "boss run" playthrough, since you are pressured more than the threats Alucard would otherwise face (he who can gain level ups). Some may even consider using Richter a form of art, requiring understanding of the character on a technical level, as well as his strengths, weaknesses, and strategy adjustments. There are many good Richter speedruns to watch, most of which make the game "look easy", but I assure you, it is a task maintaining balance and flow as Richter (much like ice skating).
I never cleared it with Richter until I learned the refills added to max hp. Getting them as needed vs 'gotta catch em all' does indeed make a significant difference. The blade dash to get to the other side of enemies. Holy water item crash to screen wipe, or if you just want to laugh at most the bosses.
I had no idea Galamoth was some sort of superboss when i first played SotN, i went in blind, wanting to complete everything before beating Dracula, and since i was already a high level, and most of the reverse castle bosses felt much simpler now, i thought this fight wouldn't be much different. Man, did i get my ass kicked over and over... I had no idea how such a "random" boss could be so hard. I defeated him eventually, after so many rage quits lol
Going by the ending of the NES Kid Dracula, it appears it really is a young Dracula. None of that "its Alucard trying to be his father" crap some sites try to claim. In the NES game the ending even says he'd returned to his position oas the Demon Lord.
Man, no wonder they made him an assist trophy. A playable, remotely accurate version of Crissaegrim Alucard would make the likes of Brawl Meta Knight and prepatch Bayonetta sob for mercy.
Oh god. I don't even want to imagine. To make matters worse, his recovery move would probably be turning into a bat, which would give him near-infinite flight. This is a scary thought.
Oh, and he has that cloud of mist, which means he can camp or approach or dodge effortlessly. And what with his subweapons, chances are his zoning/edgeguarding game isn't too shabby either. Like, unless he had a Ganondorf-level downgrade to unrecognizability, he'd snap the game's combat engine in half.
This boss fight was awesome. Great video btw, never thought Galamoth was this strong. Since by the time i got to him, I was kind of overpowered already lol. Ended up getting Crissaegrim super early as soon as i ended up in upside down castle and just bull dogged my way through the rest of the game lol XD.
Also, I think that other than the Demon Castle War in 1999, Alucard wasn't all that active since this game, and he was pathetic at the start, which was after another few hundred years of sleeping, it's no wonder Dmitrii could do it, Alucard was out of practice... again.
Correction Dmitri obviously did not face Alucard but instead fought his concealed form as Genya Arikado which is CONFIRMED to be weaker in Julius Mode when Julius comments on how Alucard had to draw out so much power by going back to his true form and how things are serious. As was shown in Aria of Sorrow Genya does have some of Alucard's powers such as soul steal and can fight enemies if need be but its pretty obvious he is no where near the level of power he has as Alucard and thus equating Dmitiri beating Arikado with him beating Alucard is just to put its plainly the person saying it showing that he has no clue on the circumstances surrounding Dmitiri winning that fight.
That hardly makes my point invalid. Alucard should have some power of his own going into the castle, if that is not an issue. However, all strength he does have comes from the armor Death whisks away early on, so his previous sleep made him weak. This time, he was probably active since 1999, but had no reason to use his power as Alucard. Thus, while not as weak as at the start of SotN, he is still handicapped beyond his disguise.
Correct. The Arkahlis... and it's shit. Sure it's cool if you get it pre-hardmode but even then the range is ass, and the damage is even worse. At 20 (25 if you're playing the pc version post 1.4). It's much closer to the Vorpal Blade than the Crissaegrim, and even then I feel the Vorpal Blade is stronger.
I remember I used the Crissaegrim back in the day, only because I was lucky enough to get Schmoo drop it on my first runthrough the reverse castle. It was, notheless, fucking hard for me to kill Galamoth, since I had no idea about the other things I could use, speciallu Beryl Circlet. I remeber on a much later replay of the game, I used both Crissaegrim and Beryl circlet, and I was around level 80 when I faced him. I never felt so over prepared, except for when I face Drac himself and killed him in 45 secs.
Wait.....Maria:time for the kill....SUPER JUMP!!!!.....Me:that looks like the rising knee jump from Double Dragon 2 on steroids! Hey Who's Your DADDY???!!!!! 😂
18:08 wait... is that... that song... omg... you just didn´t put ost from THAT game, right? pain is caming back to me... like an odd and dreadful kind of pain...
When I fought him I stood between his legs and used the combat knife to rapidly stab at the top of his leg.(if you move slightly before you stab you cancel the combat knifes second attack so you can rapidly do the first one).
Shield rod and iron shield are basically a lawnmower for bosses. More attacks, full screen range, and like 2 1/2 times the height of crissaegrim's attack. And I'd give moon rod an honorable mention too.
I just beat him last night. I was heading through the reverse catacomb and turned around when I realized I hadn't gotten the Beryl Circlet yet. I already had the Alucard shield but didn't want to be that cheap. Doubled back and did it by absorbing lightning, dodging the orbs, and hitting him in the ankle with the Alucard Sword.
Also, Fist of Tulkas is a really good weapon against him. The rapid jabs special move eats through his HP very quickly. Not many people appreciate that weapon very much, but it's one of my favorites.
I always thought it was kind of strange how similar True Death and Galamoth looked... there's not really much in terms of lore, sadly, but it would be a cool twist if Death were planning to turn on Dracula - or Galamoth had stolen a helm from Death (given that his weapons are weirdly mismatched, almost as if he stole them to gain power, that seems more likely)
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it but I found an easier "God Mode". Simply farm the black panther in the reverse castle to get Masamune and use the street fighter's fireball controls to use the swords ability to dash forward and attack witha flurry and phase back to the starting point. The key here is to get the timing down so as soon as your foot would materialize you're control input will trigger the special attack and you'll never get hit, unless you make a mistake. Try it out and enjoy!
I wonder how well the fight would go with PSP Maria. It's in the Rondo of Blood remake, the SotN version in that game uses a Maria that has similar abilities to her Rondo of Blood counterpart, unlike the Saturn version. ... Then again, you could probably lock Galamoth down with her standard bird attacks.
I knew there was Heaven's Sword but I never knew you could get that Rune Sword from a dodo bird. I'm a fan but that Rune Sword kinda slightly blew my mind. i'ts like an unfinished Heaven sword.
4:37 not sure if anyone brought it up but it is a slight misconception. enemy levels are there to equate for bonus EXP. SOTN is the only game that gives more or less EXP depending on the differenc eof level you and the enemy are at. so for instance if you kill a guardian at level 1, you get even more EXP then you would normally would since a guardian is at level 60 git is right though since in this case the levels really don't mean shit
I managed to beat him by accidentally using the punch loop. My cousin and I laughed the whole time this big monster was beaten by some guy punching his ankles.
Another way to get a crissaegrim is searching for a little hole in the floor, digging down and hoping the sword pedestal is real, then you have about 1 in 10 chances of getting it
Let's not forget about Soma, who even if he fights the same way Dracula does, the strength is slightly higher. And Menace, in Dawn of Sorrow, it is made by the demons Dmitrii annexed.
I once had him with a totally different method. Simple and plain easy. Just buy an item from the old man in the library, which is particularly expensive. That item, the name of which I don't remember, will make the stock of all one-time weapons such as the ninja flying blade (called "shuriken" in my Japanese version of the game) infinite. That means, when in normal circumstance you can throw the shuriken to your enemy once, and although it deals a big damage, it runs out. But after buying what I mentioned, you can throw infinite number of shuriken towards your enemy! Remember, shuriken is fast, powerful, reaches the furthest end of the screen, and now it's infinite! Now, you have converted the game from Castlevania into Contra. Just keep shooting the hell out of your way, and try that on Galamoth. I can't tell if this is faster or the Alucard Shield is, toGalamoth to oblivion.
But hey, since you have tried all sorts of ways of defeating everyone in the game. And, since you are asking if Alucard is the most powerful character, experiencing how he'll be other-dimentionally strong with that item will give you a definite answer.
The Duplicator which needs to be worn by a ring/charm slot for it to work but that's extremely expensive but not impossible to get when you find a way to spam a high value money drop....like in the beginning of both castles....muah ha ha ha ha ha...!!!! Lol
I caught him in a loop slashing him in the face with the Alucard Sword and it took so long that when he finally died I thought: "How the hell am I supposed to kill this thing in a fair fight!?"
Yes the hp max ups do upgrade Richter's hp, but not by much. A lil tid bit Richter gains more stats to combat the reverse castle with some amount of effective results.

PSP version Maria? Oh heavens no. Only extreme masochists able to kill Galamoth with her.
If you are 100% relaxed... maybe you can kill Galamoth with psp maria...
Maria: *Super jumps through Galamoth’s head*
Me: You’re not Captain Falcon!
Wait.....Maria:time for the kill....SUPER JUMP!!!!.....Me:that looks like the rising knee jump from Double Dragon 2 on steroids! Hey Who's Your DADDY???!!!!! 😂
"Alucard is more unbalanced than my body clock"
RIP git, he commited verbal suicide
9:48
What is this? It sounds so familiar and it's driving me nuts. It's like it wants to drag me back to 2004.
Cave tribe from Lemmings 2: The Tribes.
Thanks man.
The Symphony of the Night soundtrack sure is different from how I remember it...
18:08 wait...
is that...
that song... omg... you just didn´t put ost from THAT game, right?
pain is caming back to me... like an odd and dreadful kind of pain...
I can't believe he used Sonic Chronicles music productively
Watching Alucard float around as a poison mist cloud with the music you played made me laugh.
You do realize that hearing Galamoth's frickin' tazer ramp up still makes me flinch right
There are other Castlevania games where Dracula isn't the last final boss ....
He said that you utter knob.
I can remember this a hole.
I needed hundreds of trys.
And bit my Controller.
Until i was used to his pattern.
Woah i dont even play this game.
But your presentation makes it so interesting.
18:05 Sonic Chronicles the dark brotherhood Diamond dust zone remix music lol
Frankly if you can be good at the imputs maria's dragon spell destroys galamoth
BTW the psp version has a different Maria
i like the Saturn version of Maria. I'm pretty sure that i'm not the only one!
spam sp items and soul steal :D
I wonder if I can still beat Galamoth with Richter no sub-weapons attached. Been many years since I did that.
22:45
Maria just used *THE KNEE*
HYES!!!
_Show me your moves!_
I saw this, feared him.
Two years later I walk into a room and found him.
Thanks for the guide.
When I fought him I stood between his legs and used the combat knife to rapidly stab at the top of his leg.(if you move slightly before you stab you cancel the combat knifes second attack so you can rapidly do the first one).
Surprisingly though, I found a fanart of this guy in Fur Affinity.
Gotta love seeing Alucard get kicked so hard he lands on the wall feet first.
Shield rod and iron shield are basically a lawnmower for bosses.
More attacks, full screen range, and like 2 1/2 times the height of crissaegrim's attack.
And I'd give moon rod an honorable mention too.
how I beat this boss without the circlet and just the holy rod is beyond me
Defeating him with Richter is even worst... And you dont even get a reward!
drizzziit the bad ending is the reward :)
Two words: Hydro Storm. You can never lose as long you spam Hydro Storm.
Just stand on the right side ledge with the dagger, and then use the dagger super right on his face.
@@fissilewhistle unfortunately... galamoth can resist the hydro storm...
There are two ways to kill him with Richter, using the dagger or the Axe...
Why don't they ever bring back Galamoth? He's clearly a great force and deserves more than he's gotten.
12:15 Whoop! Didn't think any of us would catch that "Green Gardens" music from Bomberman 64, did you? :3
I just love how much symphony of the night has such upbeat music an d sound effects.
The only character that gives Dracula a run for his money....
Besides the player.
I've never seen so many attacks on dinosaur feet before in a single video. So weird.
galamoth: the most powerful boss.
the only boss with a spell able to bring you hope stat from infinite to minuscule.
11:00 & 12:17 can someone tell me what's the bgm name?
Galamoth got some sick dance moves there.
He'll never beat my Duplicator+Peanut combo.+
19:33 The face when your end will be worse than Joseph's.
I just beat him last night. I was heading through the reverse catacomb and turned around when I realized I hadn't gotten the Beryl Circlet yet. I already had the Alucard shield but didn't want to be that cheap. Doubled back and did it by absorbing lightning, dodging the orbs, and hitting him in the ankle with the Alucard Sword.
Your videos are amazing, only discovered your channel today, great job :p
Also, Fist of Tulkas is a really good weapon against him. The rapid jabs special move eats through his HP very quickly. Not many people appreciate that weapon very much, but it's one of my favorites.
21:34 “Past me?” Do you know skawo?
I love watching these, even for games I’ve never played. They’re just so entertaining. Love the Fire Emblem videos and can’t wait for Three Houses
I could have sworn to have seen this video before. Oh well, maybe just a deja vu. Still great video as always
WOW, I never knew there were so many ways to kill Galamoth. I really REALLY hate that boss fight!!!😡🤬Btw the Alucard Shield move is INCREDIBLE!!!😆
Loved this video, but I gotta ask, what was with the music? Did the original get copyrighted or something?
I think it was because one of the songs annoyed Whois because it's too overused. Look at Leave My Ears Alone 1 for reference.
I think a better way to wrap that kind of fight is dropping an elevator after saying "Go to hell."
Where’s our 4K remake of this absolute beauty, Konami?!
I always thought it was kind of strange how similar True Death and Galamoth looked... there's not really much in terms of lore, sadly, but it would be a cool twist if Death were planning to turn on Dracula - or Galamoth had stolen a helm from Death (given that his weapons are weirdly mismatched, almost as if he stole them to gain power, that seems more likely)
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it but I found an easier "God Mode". Simply farm the black panther in the reverse castle to get Masamune and use the street fighter's fireball controls to use the swords ability to dash forward and attack witha flurry and phase back to the starting point. The key here is to get the timing down so as soon as your foot would materialize you're control input will trigger the special attack and you'll never get hit, unless you make a mistake. Try it out and enjoy!
I wonder how well the fight would go with PSP Maria. It's in the Rondo of Blood remake, the SotN version in that game uses a Maria that has similar abilities to her Rondo of Blood counterpart, unlike the Saturn version.
... Then again, you could probably lock Galamoth down with her standard bird attacks.
First Olrox, then Galamoth.
Why does everyone inside Castlevania has giant feet hitbox disease?
I knew there was Heaven's Sword but I never knew you could get that Rune Sword from a dodo bird. I'm a fan but that Rune Sword kinda slightly blew my mind. i'ts like an unfinished Heaven sword.
Allucard: Hey kids want to see a dead body?!
The crissgram rune sword has been my combo since my first play thru
4:37 not sure if anyone brought it up but it is a slight misconception. enemy levels are there to equate for bonus EXP. SOTN is the only game that gives more or less EXP depending on the differenc eof level you and the enemy are at. so for instance if you kill a guardian at level 1, you get even more EXP then you would normally would since a guardian is at level 60
git is right though since in this case the levels really don't mean shit
When's LubLub going to get his own fan game?
I managed to beat him by accidentally using the punch loop. My cousin and I laughed the whole time this big monster was beaten by some guy punching his ankles.
3:06 i think this is Kid Alucard.... i think
Another way to get a crissaegrim is searching for a little hole in the floor, digging down and hoping the sword pedestal is real, then you have about 1 in 10 chances of getting it
Let's not forget about Soma, who even if he fights the same way Dracula does, the strength is slightly higher.
And Menace, in Dawn of Sorrow, it is made by the demons Dmitrii annexed.
Dammit i love how you do the list and rqnkings jajaja ill wait for another castlevania entry yuuuuuus
I once had him with a totally different method. Simple and plain easy. Just buy an item from the old man in the library, which is particularly expensive. That item, the name of which I don't remember, will make the stock of all one-time weapons such as the ninja flying blade (called "shuriken" in my Japanese version of the game) infinite. That means, when in normal circumstance you can throw the shuriken to your enemy once, and although it deals a big damage, it runs out. But after buying what I mentioned, you can throw infinite number of shuriken towards your enemy! Remember, shuriken is fast, powerful, reaches the furthest end of the screen, and now it's infinite! Now, you have converted the game from Castlevania into Contra. Just keep shooting the hell out of your way, and try that on Galamoth. I can't tell if this is faster or the Alucard Shield is, toGalamoth to oblivion.
The item that costs 500,000 gold to buy, no thanks.
But hey, since you have tried all sorts of ways of defeating everyone in the game. And, since you are asking if Alucard is the most powerful character, experiencing how he'll be other-dimentionally strong with that item will give you a definite answer.
The Duplicator which needs to be worn by a ring/charm slot for it to work but that's extremely expensive but not impossible to get when you find a way to spam a high value money drop....like in the beginning of both castles....muah ha ha ha ha ha...!!!! Lol
That was how I got my fund... lol one really need to try this once, it literally changes the game to a shoot'em up like Contra.
I tried to richter belmont and i used ground dash to make him invincible. it's difficult in richter mode
I caught him in a loop slashing him in the face with the Alucard Sword and it took so long that when he finally died I thought: "How the hell am I supposed to kill this thing in a fair fight!?"
2 runeswords.
Push both attack buttons simultaneously.
Try it for a spin.
Also, the whip loop is how I defeated Galamoth with Richter, no HP upgrades.
Yes the hp max ups do upgrade Richter's hp, but not by much. A lil tid bit Richter gains more stats to combat the reverse castle with some amount of effective results.
