Title: Galamoth
Post by: Maddux on June 19, 2012, 04:01:48 PM
I'm having difficulty beating this boss in SOTN.  Does anyone have any advice from experience.  Thanks.

Get a Beryl Circlet and just equip it.  Or you could just use the ol' Crissaegrim/Shield Rod+Alucard Shield set up and cheez your way to victory.

I forgot what the heck I did. I equiped something that gave me health when I was hit with lightning. Its probably what Johnny Alucard is talking about.

Pssh, not enough effort into playing the game huh? You gotta have the Fist of Tulkas!

I dont remember if I had them yet honestly. I think though, I might actually HAVE used the fist of Tulkas- because I had the Valmanway as my sub weapon. (I kept a sword handy for those rare enemies that you cant get close enough to hit without getting smacked around)

It can be kind of complicated so here's a video

As the video suggests, you gotta break two holes in the large rock formation in the Reverse Entrance.
Then, go through the opening in between the rock once as a Wolf, and once as a Bat.
Upon doing this, you will hear a sound and the upper right corner of that area will have an entrance to the Beryl Circlet.

Just spam him with holy water + normal attack. Don't forget to use resist lightning or just equip anything that negate Galamoth's lightning attack.

Or do it the easy way like the post mentioned earlier - Alucard + Shield Rod or Crissaegrim are knocking on the door.

You can also get on the ledge on the far right, up top, and just punch him in the face to death, though it's been ages so I don't remember how hard this is to pull off. I think he stays pretty much unable to hit you in this case, though. Slightly less cheap than the beryl circlet, imo :P

This is how you get him in a stun lock. It also works with Richter and Maria for an easy win.  You just have to jump over him at the beginning of the fight and get on the right ledge and hit him in the face when he turns around. You should be able to wail on him over and over until he is dead without any retaliation.  Just don't stop attacking until he is dead or it won't work.

Aha, that's what I thought. Though I tend to just use the circlet; it occurred to me without looking up a strategy, so I feel less cheap for it, haha.

I think you can also glitch to the poison gas power
(click to show/hide)
and then just hang out between his ankles taking no damage and dishing out the pain. But I never actually tried that.

The one thing I've noticed when fighting Galamoth is that his head is more vulnerable then the rest of his body. by getting up to the ledge and dishing out whatever you've got you're sure to kill him much faster then facing him on the ground. This boss fight always used to give me a hard time until I discovered the Beryl circlet and the Crissaegrim. Before that it was an almost constant use of the Soul steal technique.
