Phases & Attacks:
- Phase 1 (Dracula's Human Form): Teleports around, shoots fireballs, and summons bats.
- Phase 2 (Dracula's Monster Form): Transforms into a large, grotesque monster. Attacks with claws, fire breath, and ground pounds.
- Phase 3 (Dracula's Final Form): Transforms into a giant, floating head with tentacles. Shoots energy blasts and summons smaller enemies.
Weaknesses:
Each form has a specific weak point, usually the head or core.
Strategy (John Morris):
Phase 1: Stay mobile, whip Dracula when he appears. The Boomerang (Cross) is excellent for hitting him consistently. Use whip spin for invincibility if bats overwhelm you. Phase 2: Attack the monster's head. Jump over its claw swipes and ground pounds. The Axe is very effective here. Phase 3: Focus on the giant head. Dodge the energy blasts and tentacles. The Boomerang (Cross) is again very strong, as is the Axe. This phase requires constant movement and precise hits.
Strategy (Eric Lecarde):
Phase 1: Use your double jump to dodge fireballs and bats. Spear Dracula when he appears. The Boomerang (Cross) is highly recommended. Phase 2: Use your double jump and spear vault to hit the monster's head. Your agility makes dodging easier. The Axe is a good choice. Phase 3: Eric's double jump is crucial for dodging the energy blasts and tentacles. Use your spear vault to hit the giant head. The Boomerang (Cross) is arguably the best sub-weapon for this final form.
