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

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.

Dracula's final form from Circle of the Moon always gave me a ton of issues. Lord's of Shadow was fantastic and should have served as a great soft reboot, boy did Konami screw that up.

I beat Dracula on my first try, in Smash Ultimate's World of Light.

The Forgotten One in "Lament of Innocence" was no slouch. Blackmore and Eligor in "Order of Ecclesia" gave me trouble. The solo fight against Stella in "Portrait of Ruin" was rough, mostly because it happens early in the game and you don't have as much time to build your levels.

Absolutely! I'd guess I haven't even played that many Castlevania games so far, but I myself regard the Forgotten One in Lament of Innocence as the hardest non-fighting-game boss I have ever faced. Well, I faced him on the toughest difficulty (@Crazy). However, I assume I just haven't fully understood yet how to evade all of his fire-breathing attacks in phase 3. Otherwise, he might not be that hard.

And Dracula from Castlevania: Circle of the moon

I'm kind of surprised The Forgotten One from Lament of Innocence didn't get mentioned with the Lords of Shadow version. As for "Does is matter which (Dracula)?" 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 shield rod combo makes Galamoth a joke, granted first time players might not be aware of it even though they should be able to get both the weapon and shield by the time they reach Galamoth Dracula may be hard in some of his iterations, but in other's he's a pushover. Like in the prologue of Symphony of Night and the end game version, Rondo of Blood/Dracula X, and Order of Ecclesia

I remember in highschool, the hardest one to beat was the one eyed monster. I could literally spend hours on it! Then, when I finished beating it? I'd get back to playing Castlevania.

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.

Sounds amazing, because I currently play Castlevania 64. I love how challenging it is. Like the classic 2D Castlevanias.

The funny thing about #2 #1 , In Catlevania 2 both death and Dracula are early, Hell death you can just walk past him :), In Castlevania 1 if you have the firebomb (holy water) you can stun death before he can even get a sickle off, and slow down Dracula 2nd from. While there are vard Boss if you know the tricks, they and very easy at least in those games

Eh, Menace is super easy. You can easily cheese the boss In phase one where He's kneeling, keep the Persephone soul out at all times, doing this will suck up the poisonous gas, and it will grant you health. For the rest of the boss, all you need to do is spam mandragora. It might take a while but it keeps you from getting close.

man, the forgotten one from the lords of shadow made me cry from frustration, it was some hell of a fight

If you hit SON's Galamoth from the right spot he glitches and cannot harm you. I discovered it with with Richter.

Without the holy water exploit, Death from the original Castlevania is harder than Drac. Dracula just takes patience and recognizing his patterns. Death has no pattern. He is an unruly RNG machine who has undoubtedly led to the destruction of many NES controllers.

Yep and also: you have to beat the end of that hard stage without getting hit because you really need to be at full health or you are in serious trouble. With Dracula there is always(or almost always) check point just before him and you get hearts, cross and all kinds of stuff to help you in battle.

Make a ‘Best Combination of Boons’ video for the Hades series! I’m sure some of the Mojoplays fan base is still down with the underground. I miss that beautiful game too. 😢

WM: Galamoth Me: *laughs in Alucard Shield Rod*

A fight in castlevania lament of innocence is the death fight, usually, death isn't the final boss, but LOI's death is no joke, dealing damage that hurts, and while his attacks aren't that strong, one attack is deadly, requiring a bit of timing. That is.. Death: DEADLY TEMPEST!

How to beat the doppelgänger in symphony of the night: equip yourself with the clock and freeze time, and just keep stabbing him until he dies. You’ll defeat him in less than a minute, you’re welcome.

The metroidvania games like SOTN, the one game in GBA is gives me hardest fight of all boss is the Circle of the Moon. Is gives me rage quit.

I personally like all the fights with death, but also the puppet master. He’s so fun to smack in the face

The Forgotten One was the most inanely overpowered boss fight in the franchise's history. He did INSANE damage and his attacks were virtually impossible to avoid.

Hands down CLOS1 Forgotten One in Paladdin difficulty... with a maxed out game it took me several attempts... however i did a no upgrades run, no enhancements, just to spice up this one specific fight, but i have not been able to beat this boss without a few attack moves, a 10 minute fight in stage 1 became a 2 hours endeavor and still i didnt get to stage 2... try it, youre in for a treat!!!!! 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...

for me, Shadowman is way harder than that fish in OoE, his attacks were fast, random and hard to predict. you can't avoid him except with jumping or crouching since he corners you. and the only boss ever that i used a cheat against is the last Dracula in CoM. so much health and console was lagging af.

Well the list good for the most part I have some nitpicks: 1.gravedorcus can be much easier if you have the ignis and grando glyphs the glyph union can deal huge damage while protect from the granades 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

Level with me, Ty. Is that Spyro trilogy retro review in the pipeline still, or are you unable to cash in on that promise? Completely understand if you can't, I'd just appreciate an update.

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.

Forget Dopleganger in portrait of ruin.

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.
