Screw the polls, that would take to long.
But the hydra in Super cv.
I don't really have a favorite...with CV, I always have expectations with bosses, so while I may not have favorites, I tend to have dis-apointments...
Fine what is your most disappointing boss?
I always look forward to fighting Death and Dracula the most. In my opinion, the best Dracula battle was in Super Castlevania IV, while the best Death fight was in Castlevania. I also like the Werewolf in Chronicles and in Rondo of Blood. Pazuzu in Harmony of Dissonance is cool and really fun to fight as well.
Maxim is certainly one of my favorite bosses. Fighting him on Hard Mode with no Spell Fusion and no armor, weapons, or items is one of the biggest tests I've undergone while playing a Castlevania game. What's more is that you have to fight Dracula's two different forms after that. The last one may not attack much, but if you are at full health and he hits you twice; you're gone. HoD has a lot of creative ways to test you.
Other bosses I like are:
Frankenstein & Igor (Castlevania)
Minotaur (Rondo of Blood, Harmony of Dissonance)
Shaft & Shaft's Ghost (Rondo of Blood)
Legion (Harmony of Dissonance)
Headhunter (Aria of Sorrow)
Medusa (Chronicles)
Graham Jones (Aria of Sorrow)
Yeah, the CV4 drac was really fun, and hard if you elect not to use the cross at all. he damn lightning attack usually claims me at least once before I can get the bastard.
The boss I hate the most is Slogra from CV4. Even after I get his pattern down, he has this way of just fucking me up the ass sometimes. I don't think I've ever beaten him in less than 5 lives before. He just takes perseverance.
I always prefered facing Death for the most part, but either than that I don't have a favorite.
The worst would be Beezlebub from SOTN. It's an annoying fight that takes to long to beat.
Yeah, and without a cheap weapon (like the Crissaegrim) it's at times a bit difficult too.

Call me stupid, but the last time I played that game, didn't you only get three lives before you ran out?
But with Slogra, you can continue from right in front of him.
Why can't you do that with other bosses then? That sucks!
Because Slogra is found in the Tower of Fiends, which is one boss battle after another. I guess they assumed making you try and survive all three battles (let alone Drac right afterwards) was too tough.
That entire game was too tough.

I beat beelzebub easily it was that bastard Galamoth tat gave me trouble.
Galamoth was a sinch. Even w/o the thunder circlet, I was able to do it with proper use of my mist power.
Favorite boss: J
I satll vote for Balore. His intro is fantastic, and he's decent fun to fight too.

I'd say the Flying Armor boss in DoS...I just thought it was a dull way to start the game off...
Did the Zephyr battle in Dawn of Sorrow remind anyone else of certain MegaMan battles? Maybe it's just me.
Disappointing boss fight? Umm... I'd say Richter from Symphony of the Night. He was aggressive, but I still thought the fight was too easy. I expected much more out of it, but it was still cool. Also, I didn't like many of the Super Castlevania IV bosses and mini-bosses. The Hydra just was not entertaining, Frankenstein was a letdown, and the Golem was just... I dunno'. That game had some cool bosses, but I think the majority of them either fought stupid, or were just stupid ideas (coin bat).
The biggest dissapointment? Probably the Ice Wizard in Chronicles. They removed the Mummies for this guy? The Elementals in LoI were also dissapointing, since they all fought the same.
Yeah, most of the bosses in LoI were dissapointing, although I did kinda enjoy Medusa and Joaquim.
uhg... I just bitched about the whole game at ICVDF. That pumpkin is only funny for five damn seconds- especially with that foot noise.
See, I never defeated Death, so getting to pumpkin never happened.
Well, I'm Joachim and I'm stuck on that stupid Succubus. I don't know y either. I guess I don't care really...so I stopped playing LoI
That what happened with me and death.
Leon can potion whore.
Joachim can't block, so you need to find most of his power-ups before you fight succubus (who has to many quick attacks to just dodge).
That big demon underground was the only really good boss in the game.
Yeah, the fuckin forgotten one was fun, although it only took my two times to figure out how to beat him, which is kinda weak. I had the hardest issue with his hands.
Dude, you beat the Forgotten One but you can't beat Death?
"DEADLY TEMPEST!"
Yeah, Undead Parasite was cool. The idea of fighting against a whole room was pretty neat.
Yeah. he keeps giving me shit. Dunno why. The forgotten one had a pattern. He may have been strong, but patterns are something I can easily work with.
Little late. Little far behind. But what-ev. I'd probably say Drac from CoD and maybe, -maybe- Dullahan as well. Though he pissed me off trying to get that purple glitter crap. Blargh. Stupid shockwaves. But yeah, I found it oddly hard to kill Drac's second form in Trevor mode. Challenging at least. I cut him up like sushi with Hector. Sheesh.
Good thinking.
Personally, I usually limit my character to a specific type of combat to make the battles more challenging. I never played the original castelavnias much but really its not a contest.
The best will always be death. His DoS form would have been cool if he were stronger or more physical combat orientated like his AoS counterpart. Overall, he is the most formidable boss in all castlevania games.
Pazuzu was also a pretty good idea. He actually summons units for combat. If they refined him, they could have had a surefire boss.
The worst I believe would be the skeleton knight. God. All it took was 3 hits to make him back down. Do not even ask what happens when he gets backed into a corner. I never lost a single hit to him.
Yeah, Death tends to be even more of a task than Drac. I\'m hoping next CV game they make in 3D form will be something like DMC, with all the fast paced combat and stuff. Just to be more challenging and cool looking. Complete with quick button taps to perfrom spiffy counters and crap.
Fave boss fight from CV: Death from AoS. Most badass version ever.
I know this could cause a conflict with the Thread Necromancy Rule :3, but I desperately feel a need to say that I hate every single fookin boss in CV Adventure. Okay, the first one is shakable, at least. :januscat
Gretchenfrage: Would this be a case where it'd be better to open up a new thread with the same topic?
A Cv boss :plzdie
Srry ;D
but they are considerably frustrating :redrum
they make you only angry in Cv 1 ,2, 3 ,hautend castle, vampire killer, the castlevania adventure
and castlevania X....
but differently they are fun :D
I have a fondness for the big electric skeleton in Legacy of Darkness and the huge mass of rotting bodies in SotN.
Ultimately, I'd say Frankenstein from Castlevania (the first one) was my favorite Castlevania boss ever. However, there are other bosses that I must mention. Like the Headhunter from Aria of Sorrow or the dopple-ganger from CV III: Dracula's Curse. Of course, Death is a personal favorite (and pain...). He was definately harder than Dracula in most of the games he was in. I also have to give props to Dracula ,himself, because without him, would there BE a Castlevania? (Favorite Dracula was from Circle of the Moon. He rocked!)
And also, I never saw why people had such a problem with Dracula from Super CV IV. He was a little too easy in my book....a bit of a dissapointment, really. Also, try jumping off of the beginning of the flight of stairs before you fight him for a nice "treat."
the corpse legion from HOD.
also, camilia (I think that's the name), the one from cotm, since I got to her before I got there before I got that ring that purifys water.
Legion; in SOTN. The first site of that monstrosity in the series can't be overlooked or underappreciated (IMHO).
But i also think Dullahan, Slogra and Gaibon,Death and Dracula (of course) are cool.
