Many enemies in Castlevania have predictable AI patterns that can be exploited. For example, Medusa Heads always fly in a sine wave; learning their exact trajectory allows you to jump through them safely without engaging. Zombies and Skeletons often despawn if you move far enough away from them, allowing you to clear a path without fighting every single one. Some enemies, like Axe Armors, can be 'stuck' on ledges if you position yourself correctly, allowing you to whip them safely. Observe how enemies react to your presence and movement. Sometimes, simply waiting for an enemy to move into a more favorable position is the best strategy. Don't be afraid to retreat and re-engage if an encounter feels too risky. Understanding these AI quirks can save you health and hearts.
