Phases & Attacks:
- Phase 1: Frankenstein's Monster walks slowly, occasionally jumping and creating a shockwave. He also throws a slow-moving projectile.
- Phase 2 (Damaged): Becomes more aggressive, jumps more frequently, and may throw more projectiles.
Weaknesses:
Frankenstein's Monster's head is its weak point. It takes more damage when hit there.
Strategy (John Morris):
This is a classic Castlevania boss fight. Stay at a medium distance, whipping his head. When he jumps, jump over the shockwave. When he throws a projectile, either jump over it or whip it away. The Axe sub-weapon is very effective for hitting his head consistently. The Holy Water can also be used to deal continuous damage if he walks into it. Use your whip spin if you get cornered or need a burst of invincibility.
Strategy (Eric Lecarde):
Eric's double jump makes dodging the shockwaves and projectiles straightforward. Use your spear to hit his head. Your spear vault can also be used to get above him and land hits. The Axe and Boomerang (Cross) are strong choices for sub-weapons. Maintain a safe distance, land hits, and prioritize dodging his predictable attacks.
Rewards:
Orb of light, stage completion.
Frankenstein's Monster is a test of basic Castlevania combat. Learn his slow patterns, keep your distance, and consistently hit his head. Don't get trapped in a corner.
