  • “Castlevania” is a series not for the faint of heart, and we don’t mean that in terms of “scary”. Konami’s famed action-platformer franchise is known for having its fair share of infuriating enemies, and the same could be said for its bosses. Our list includes Gravedorcus, St. Germain, Galamoth, Forgotten One, Dracula and more! Did any of these baddies give you trouble? Was there a tougher foe we forgot?

    Nothing from Circle of Moon? Probably the hardest Metroidvania didn't even get screen time. Adramelech and the dual Zombie Dragon fight were incredibly hard. Nothing from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse got no mentioned either considering the Evil Flame had you fight 3 bosses in 1 multiple times throughout the game. The Water Serpents after doing around 2/3's of their life run away, forcing you to platform & fight through enemies on a sub-stage with rising waters, and then re-engage the boss fight when you get to the end. Something tells me they actually didn't play all the Castlevania's by not even showing these games

    • @seva809
      @seva809 3 года назад +5

      In my opinion the Classicvanias and Igavania games should not be in one set. There is a dramatic gap between them in terms of difficulty level, which is due to the fact that in igavanias you can levelled up relatively easily while enemies don't making the game braindead easy after some point.
      But I agree CotM is the most challenging Metroid-stylized Castlevania. They managed to find a sweet point between the arcadeish challenge from the older games and the leveling system from Igavanias.

But the game is ruined by overly frequent tedious puzzles. And the fight against Satan is probably the worst boss ever. Haven’t played any LoS games except the first and I do not plan to play the others.

    Menace, seriously? The most laughably easy final boss in the castlevania series if not all gaming history.
    1. His attacks are predictable and easy to avoid.
    2. With your limitless jump ability it's easy to reach and strike His vulnerable points.
    3. At the endgame you should have lots of powerful weapons and spells to easily deal with those demon staple remover monsters he summons.
    Idk if I'm the only one but that boss was never a challenge for me, even on 1st playthough.

      Alright man this is just plain bragging when dracula wraith from harmony of dissonance and dracula from SOTN exist. Any level of grinding could make any of these games significantly easier, especially one like circle of the moon with the dss card switch exploit. Menace still deserves to be there because he deals a fair bit for such an openly targeted large monster with annoying minions spawning. And wdym at that point you should have great weapons and abilities, no other game has more rng built into it than dawn which had a broken luck stat that didn't even function properly. You seriously telling people its easy if you grind and pray you get what you need for a boss? Thats like every metroidvania if you need an upper hand badly.

  • @lordsidius99
    @lordsidius99 3 года назад +3

    This list is a joke. Not only does the footage largely show the player stunting on the boss with little difficulty, many of these bosses can be beaten by 'grinding levels' or 'equipping a piece of gear that nullifies the most challenging attack the boss offers'. Wow. So difficult. I see they also list some bosses as multiple different forms from different games as a single entry; some of which are actually challenging, while some are a cake-walk. There's no criteria or actual evaluation here; what a miserable waste of time.

    Galamoth? Mojo, you say you'll be close to death due to the lightning damage but if you just equip a lightning absorbing armor (as shown in the video) and you'll absorb it all. I get that the armor is weak on defense but since the biggest problem is the lightning, you'll be fine. If anything, the high amount of HP is the biggest hurdle at that point. Try not to strain your digits while pressing the attack button.

Yes it does; while the Dracula fight in Adventure Rebirth is a tough endurance match, the SNES Dracula X fight with him is different than any other in that he has to power to instant kill you with the dozen or so pits in the throne room.

    The hardest boss I ever faced in the Castlevania series, was the very source of Dracula's power in the series, the essence of Chaos itself in Aria Of Sorrow, it took me many tries back in the early 2000's on my GBA to defeat it, when I finally managed to do it I felt really accomplished and Im glad I stayed with the series ever since then ✌️

    @entombedthrower443 2 года назад +1

    Something I think was left out was that Galamoth was a hidden boss, meant to be fought at the very very end of the secret ending of SOTN, and you are expected to have a OP combo of 3 items to fight him. Not to say that he isn't hard, but that if enough exploration has been done and items tested and what not, he can be a lot easier than he seems. Also, I would dare say that Gravedorcus isn't even remotely hard compared to Jiang Chi, who you had to fight after like 8 different sub boss fights. I know putting only secret bosses is kinda cheating but this guy was hard enough as is let alone after killing the hardest enemies in the game without rest.

    The only one i agree is menace in a first playthrough of DoS, and Galamoth
    Death in most castlevania like sotn , AoSn, OoE etc is just a joke (Dos on Julius mode is a real challenge however, because you can't heal you at all if you don't have yoko)
    Dracula / Soma is just a freaking nightmare the first time you fight him, and I precise that if you do it lv 45 you don't have any pride (lv35 Max and we tall about it) alucard his just the viable option for his 2 phase
    Julius is the most difficult Belmont fight ever, worst part is if you have the Dracula suit with you, his damage is multiplied by 2 (eversing is the best Armor of the game, claimh Solaris one of the best weapon is AoS) , the other's one are a joke compared to him
    Zephir (aka Dio Brando) is a freaking troll in both way (still DoS) in a first playthrough since he can stop time and hax you with it if you don't pay attention of how he move
    Everyone has is own opinion, but it's just à shame that most of the boss that à lot harder than the one of this top aren't there at all, not even mentionned.

    Regarding Galamoth, i did find him hard to be the first time i faced him, however when i learned how to use the dark shield, medusa shield he was easier than Shaft... and when i found alucard shield, well shield rod was just too obvious... also after lv50 is hard to lvl up to lv99, so once you get to this stage ur nigh unkillable...

    2.menace is far from being hard while yes the hurtbox is tiny his attacks are very slow and telegraphed and with the enirys soul you can easily damage him and his small enemy swarm attack
    3.dracula for the most part is easier than death the reason is the random sickle attack the sickles are hard to hit, appeared randomely while dracula is more telegraphed in most of his fight sure there some exapction like in circle of the moon and simon's quest but for the most part death is harder than dracula and one of thw hardest boss fights in gaming
