Boss FAQ Castlevania: Circle of the Moon Gameboy Advance By: Yobemag final 4/16/02 1. Boss FAQ A: location B: exp points you earn C: what you earn D: how to beat it E: moves 1. Boss FAQ Cerberus A: Catacomb B: 500 C: Double; You can jump and jump once more in air D: Go to the DSS menu and equip Salamander and Mercury card. Before you go into the boss room drop to the bottom from the boss door and go to the place on your left. Then kill all the mummies and coffins until you reach the end. There’s a torch there. Whip it and get the Holy water. Now go back to the boss room and equip Salamander and Mercury. Run over to Cerberus and throw down a holy water(have a lot of hearts ready) then whip the heck out of him. when he jumps at you run to the right. After he jumps run back over and throw holy water at him and start whipping him. when he goes all dark and your whip doesn’t do any dammage to him then you know he’s about to attack. If he’s not standing on a platform then you know he’s not going to shoot his beam, he’s going to throw up two electric balls with a line of electricity coming down. Throw a holy water at him and jump to the highest platform. When he finishes that attack go to the bottom and do the holy water + whip attack which I will now abreviate by saying hw+wa. When he jumps on the lowest platform get under or behind him fast. He’s gonna shoot an undodgeable beam(unless you’re under or behind him). hw+wa. When the beam stops get away from under him! He’s gonna jump strait down so stand to the side. hw+wa. Then he’ll repeat the whole thing over again. So keep doing this till he’s dead and run to the left to pick up double. E: Two electrical balls at the top with lines of electricity coming down. Jumping on you. Light beam from his eyes. Necromancer A: Audience Room B: 2,500 C: Tackle; Those gray crumbly blocks with the cracks in them can be broken by standing right in front of it and pressing the dirrection plus R. D: Equip the Venus and Salamander card combo. If you don’t have that combo then just use the best one you’ve got. When those circles spin around him run around on the floor until he shoots them. Dodge them. It’ll throw three balls at a time. So basically when the balls circle around him you have to dodge them twice. but he does this attack twice so you have to dodge the balls 4 times. After that he’ll stand still and resurect zombies so go up to the top and while he’s doing that whip whip him as much as you can before he starts the balls again(if you have crucifixes then use them. If you don’t then just stick with whipping). Just repeat that process until he bursts into flames. Yes I beat him! No you didn’t. After you think you killed him he turns into a skelleton with wings. Whip the skeleton until he turns into a green ball. Don’t try to whip him. You cant dammage him now. Just dodge him. When he stops start whipping him. Note: when he stops he’s resurecting skeletons so if you fall off the platform then watch out. also if he seems to come to the top and never stop to do the skeleton thing it’s because there’s too many skeletons down there so kill some. Repeat this process until he’s dead. E: Necromancer: Homing yellow balls Resurecting zombies Skeleton: Zooming around in a green ball Resurecting skeletons Iron Golem A: Machine Tower B: 8,000 C: Kick boots: You can kick off walls and go really high. Good for climbing up high, narrow, passages. D: Make sure you have crucifixes. If you don’t this boss is imposible. If you dont have crucifixes here is how to get them. Right in front of the boss door are two Heat shades. When you’re at the heat shades go all the way to the left by the block you can break. go up from there and keep whipping the wall on your right. One of them will break. In this room is a thunder demon you can kill if you want to(might just make you lose health) and one of the torches will be crucifix. Now go to the boss room. Throw all your crucifixes staying a good distance away so his attacks don’t hit you. If you run out of crucifixes then just whip him until he dies. I think this boss is the easiest in the whole game. As long as you stay far enough away his attacks won’t even touch you. As long as you jump when he slams on the ground and watch out for the things on the top that fall down. The only hard part is that he keeps healing himself. When he dies go to the right and grab the kick boots. E: Throwing a beam of light that is very easy to dodge. Slamming on the ground and making stuff from the ceiling fall. No matter where you are always jump when he does this attack. Even if he doesn’t touch you the slam will make you lose some HP. Punching, you shouldn’t be that close anyway. Adramelech A: Chapel Tower B:16,000 exp. points C: You step on a button that destroys all the statues. You also get an MP increase. D: Equip Jupiter and golem so that if something hits you you’re invincable to it 4x. Have crucifixes and throw all of them at it. If you run out and it’s still not dead then just whip it till it dies. Sounds simple eh? Ya it is. E: Skeleton heads that come down and dammage you. Throwing blue fireballs. Balls that pop up under him that send you flying with dammage if you run into one. Dragon Zombie A: Underground Gallery B: 15000 exp points each C: Heavy ring: there are boxes that block your way. ya know what i’m talkin about? ya, well you can push those out of your way now. D: Equip something that makes your whip stronger. go stand on a ledge and whip them. use secondary items too. if you run low on life then go up to the door on the left and stand right next to it. Equip the mandragora and jupiter to regain life. if you dont have that combination.........YOU’RE SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!!!.......... Anyway......make sure you have that combination. when you regain your life go back down and whip em again. Its so much easier when one dies. Then just whip the other one till it dies. When one dies the other is easier than cerberus. the only reason this boss is so hard is cuz theres two. E: The one on the left spits fire. The one on the right throws ball/beams that dont go very far. hitting the wall and making debris fall from the ceiling. Death A: Underground Warehouse B: 60,000 exp points C: Cleansing: The water in underground waterway is purified so that it is safe to walk through. Note: in the room with cleansing you can whip the wall and go into another room. D: Equip poison sheild or the shield where four ice balls circle around you or any shield. keep jumping up and throwing crucifixes at him until he turns into a spider. then keep a good distance away so that it wont touch you and throw crucifixes at it till it’s dead. E: Throwing things down from the top of the room which wont touch you if you have a shield equiped. Throwing two electric balls that your shield cant stop. there easy to dodge though. three arms that come out from him that wont hit you if you stand in the right place. Jumping up and landing hard on the ground when he’s a spider Camilla A: Underground Waterway B: 80,000 exp points C: Roc Wing: by pressing up and R you can jump really high and you can keep doing it too. Kinda like double except you can do it infinite times instead of twice. D: Okay. Now when it says Camilla you’re not fighting a weak little girl. She turns into a huge naked........ Thing. That’s the best word, thing, and she’s riding a huge skull. Equip any shield to stop her poison bubbles. Stand at the entrance. When she comes over to you throw some crucifixes at her. then when she flies right follow her and throw more crucifixes. Then go all the way to the right and when she stops to do her beam stand behind her on the platform and throw crucifixes and whip her. keep doing that till she’s dead. E: poison bubbles water beam Hugh A: Observation Tower B: 120,000 exp points C: Last Key: You know where the game started? You know the door on the right there? That leads to the ceremonial room. The last key will open that door. D: equip poison shield or any shield. run and jump over Hugh and whip his back while he stops. you can also throw crucifixes. when you throw a crucifix and it comes back to you jump over it so that if Hugh is behind you it will damage him. If your life gets low roc wing up to the platform at the top of the room on either side and do jupiter plus mandragora to heal yourself. When Hugh gets powered up by dracula just keep doing what you did before but be careful. he throws two of every subweapon now. if you roc wing up to heal yourself then watch out. he has an attack where things come out of his sword and home on you. so just repeat the process till he gets knocked down and returns to himself. E: this is a really long list. Sword attack. flame sword. charging with electricity on sword. Sending out things from his sword that home at you(only after he powers up). every sub-weapon. electric sword i think Dracula A: Ceremonial Room B: First form: 150,000 exp points Second form: 0 exp points. you get the next mode though C: Next mode and pride D: first form: wait till he appears. throw a crucifix at him and jump over him and whip him in the back. by the way have jupiter and salamander equiped so that attack goes up 25%. make sure you jump early enough to dodge the bats but not so early that he changes directions and throws the bats at you when you jump over him. dont freak out its easy. if you’re leveled up enough and throw crucifixes from a distance where they hit about 4 times then it shouldn’t take long to beat him. after you beat the first form save your game at the nearest save point and then go back to the room for the second form. Form # 2(the ultimate badass): When you first get in there stand on a platform and wait for him to teleport up to you. when his eye opens throw crucifixes at it at whip like hell. you can use a summon if you want but i recemond a shield instead. poison shield works best. that way you stop his poison bubbles. if a poison bubble hits you use an antidote right away. be carful not to let him touch you. it deals about 100 dammage. i recemond using double grips and the best armor you have for this guy. once you’ve dealt dracula about 1000 dammage he’ll start to charge around. roc wing up to the top and stay there. every time he charges it makes a certain noise. when the noise stops go down and the eye will be floating around surrounded by bats. have the poison shield equiped so the bats cant touch you. whip the eye as much as you can until it turns dark. when it does get the hell out of there! roc wing to the top so dracula wont hit you with his charges. repeat that process untill he dies. boy you dont know how good it feels when you go down there and whip the eye and it explodes in a rush of blood and then the end movie takes you away(unless you’ve beaten the game too). Now just sit back and watch the show. E: meteor shower. light beam(kinda like cerberus’s and camilla’s). poison bubbles. charging at you. hitting you with bats.
