Castlevania
II:
Simon's Quest
|
. |
It's in Simon's Quest where
Dracula only takes one form: A robed skeleton. Due to his less-than-indicative
performance, it's easy to pass off the challenge presented as, in others'
words, "ridiculously easy." Well, it is true--if you have
laurels. Otherwise, Dracula is more difficult to defeat than some would have
you believe. Soon after burning away his body parts, Dracula will appear and
temporarily remain in place before he begins to rotate about the room in a
blaze, the sheer omnipresence leaving Simon little room to maneuver. Drac
will stop sporadically to spew out large rotating scythes, which are capable
of inflicting more damage than any single one of the game's dangers.
If you have laurels handy, all you'll need to do is power up and whip like
crazy; victory will very quickly be yours. If you have the golden knife, also,
you can stifle his very movement and kill him off before he can even budge.
