Necromancer
.

Primarily, the Necromancer's mission is to seize from Trevor Belmont (though, he'll ultimately have to settle for Simon) the Combat Cross and deliver it to Zobek, the Lord of the Dead. In return for its service, it's been promised the return of its soul. It plans to do that with its deadly scythe and its dominion over lesser monsters, which it continuously conjures. As the hero focuses on the minions, like Skeleton Warriors, the Necromancer will be picking its spots, tossing the boomerang-like scythe and moving in for quick swipes of the weapon. After absorbing a lot of damage, the Necromancer will steal from Simon his Spirit of Belnades power, entering a phase where he continues pounding on the hero with swipes and uppercuts while adding the ability to make deadly ectoplasm slowly rain down, which forces Simon to choose his wisely his movements. In the final phase, he'll surround himself in two- then three-layer shields whose separate components turn opposite to the one on which they're stacked, each featuring openings that eventually line up; Simon must time his charge to dash through the lined-up openings and grab the Necromancer to initate a cut-scene. In this phase, the Necromancer will alternate between this sheild-generating and an offensive where it appears on either end of the screen and fires scrolling blasts high and low, putting to the test Simon's dodging and jumping abilities.
