Topic: So does PoR have the best final boss-fight in a Castlevania-game? *Spoilers*

[Abnormal Freak]

Rack one more up for SCVIV, with the Room of Associates and the awesome music there, and then the music cutting out and the eerie theme song coming in, with all those candles being lit as you walk past them. Totally swell. Then Simon Belmont's theme as you're finishing the ass-kicking on Drac after his face has disappeared (lol, awesome), and the very triumphant and emotional music at the end.

Castlevania IV is everything I love about Castlevania.

I'll admit, I liked the first form of the PoR boss battle (Like when Death turns into his own weapon and Dracula slams it down. I have NO clue why, but that's my favorite move to watch...while Johnthan dies.  Makes me feel happy inside.) but I just really, REALLY liked the DXC version way more, or more over, the final version of Dracula. A loved a lot of his moves. Same with Curse of Darkness.

That's one thing I'm hoping with OoE if Drac's the final boss (if what that guy at 1 Up was saying is true, maybe not) is that we'll get Drac with new fighting moves.  And I'll admit it.  I wish they'd put the VA so I could hear him say the line from the trailer.  Loved it.

Hell no, CVIII dracula blows that one out of the water, he has 3 full forms filled with multiple attacks, and you can only be hit 4 times before you die.

The fact that Death and Dracula teamed up with some pretty great moves was awesome but  whenever the character spoke before and after the fight, it just ruined the epic vibe.

Though I agree with another poster: Trevor fighting Dracula in CoD was pretty epic.  I like DXC's boss though.  Bloody rain, transforming into a huge werewolf, six wings of awesome...I thought it was pretty awesome.

The best Final battle was CoD and LoI.

I completly agree with that, simply any boss fight with CoD Trevor seemed epic to me

[Mobius]

No. The final tag-team battle royale was, undoubtedly, the best part of the whole game. - Well, that and unlocking Richter and Maria as a team and *then* taking on Death & Drac old-school style. But for all-time greatest final fights, as others have mentioned there are better moments.

Bloodlines hath the build-up, and the progression therein is darkly divine.

... and having the player have to dodge all the flying "headcrabs" (sorry Half-Life), ...

I thought they looked a lot more like Langoliers:

Menace was a cool battle. I liked how it starts off in that constricted environment, that at first, looks like a room, then you beat the little head and the room stands upward and it's revealed to be an actual giant monster.

CoD, CV3 and DXC are my favorite final battles, though.

I agree, the CastlevaniaIV boss fight was amazing. (especially when I played it back in 91,it still holds up,too) Call me crazy but to this day my favorite end-boss fight was Castlevania 64. That went on forever. It was freakin epic.

It's not the best, but it's a fun one to be sure. Fighting Death & Drac at the same time almost made it seem like a Smash Bros. battle somehow, but with teams. THey oughtta have made a 2 on 2 battle mode in PoR, that would have at least made better use of the WiFi mode.

But the BEST Dracula battle? It's gotta be CVIII. That one is just incredible from start to finish. There are other good ones (CoD is an honorable mention) but that one just rules.

[Omegasigma]

it'd prollt have to be COD in first followed actually by sotn's first form, i dunno why but the rondo re-enactment is one of my favourites i only wish it was harder

[King B Dude]

Well, I thought the fight was interesting and all... but a little too easy and predictable. When you were fighting Death alone, he used all of his tricks and attacks. When he says "Let us show them our true power!" all he does is follow you around and manually use his scythe in a downward chop while Dracula uses cheap and easily avoidable projectiles. Really the only challenge in that stage was when they made a spherical bomb attack thing, in which I either did a combined attack or put on my Impervious Mail, and completely blocked 1/3 of those attacks.

I personally liked the boss fight from Dawn of Sorrow so far.

Hy there, new here glad to meet you all. I like this battle but i don't considerate the best final boss battle but a great battle it is because i wasn't expecting it and it was amazing to see how they fight together.
