Chronologically, this is Dracula's first real
battle against a battle Belmont warrior. Still, from your perspective, it's
a typical "Game Boy" Dracula form--if anything, more the middle
ground between his console and handheld skins. Dracula will teleport all
around the room, appearing on any of its six platforms, in a fairly obvious
pattern. He will between each teleport open up his cape and release a larger-than-expected
three-direction fireball attack. All in all, it's a standard Dracula form
that does little to prepare you for the real battle.
That battle would be against this inexplicable
demon, a large devilish bat creature that has trapped within its gigantic
frame the many tortured souls it governs. While the frame remains stationary,
the horned cranium will continue to teleport around to random locations.
Each time the head appears in a new location, it will fire in all directions
an eight-directional projectile spreadshot that will at any position leave
very little in the way of open space. While you maneuver yourself around
in defensive posture or in preparation for its reappearance, you'll want
to keep in mind the two bottomless pits carved into the chamber's floor.
With all of the surrounding madness, you'll have to find a way to score
many direct headshots. A little soul power may very well help your cause.
