Actrise
only makes a boss appearance in Carrie's mission in Castlevania 64
and Legacy of Darkness. She antagonizes Carrie all of the way until
their eventual battle. Actrise positions herself in the center of the
battlefield and surrounds herself with multiple crystals. You'll have
to crack your way through the barrier while running, since the attack
will be on. But as you destroy each crystal, others will be spawned; quick
work will be needed to clear enough space to strike Actrise. While you're
running in circles, looking for an opening, sharp crystal shards will
be breaking through the ground--always near your position--so you won't
be able to stand still. Actrise is also capable of using a 3-directional
homing ball attack while you fend off the protruding crystals. Finally,
Actrise can fire a blue projectile from her staff that will temporarily
freeze you on contact, making you susceptible to shard and homing-ball
attacks. When you finally make contact, she'll teleport in and out, starting
the cycle again. |
