Topic: That One attack

[crimsonmist]

what are some of the most annoying, terrible enemy attacks you've ever faced in the castlevania games?

[JR]

Dracula's demonic megiddo on ch.6 hard mode of HD

[Kingshango]

That meteor storm attack that Dracula does in Circle of the Moon, pretty hard to avoid at first untill I learned how o dodge it.

Death's sickle spam in any Castlevania.

Blackmore, just Blackmore.

• Gergoth's body slam
• The crows that smack you down when you're climbing the chapel in Symphony
• All of Nuculais'(Legion's 2nd form) attacks in CoD
• Dracula's final form in CotM has some devastating attacks
• Abaddon's "lord of the flies" techniques
• The Forgotton One's technique's in LoS' DLC
• every enemy in Haunted Castle

This.

• Abaddon's "lord of the flies" techniques

Abaddon was so annoying.

The Twin Zombie Dragons, and their "random neck and head movement of doom and cheap deaths". They're my greatest challenge in CotM.

They're pretty much everyone's greatest challenge.

And they are the reason that, as much as I love the game, I haven't replayed it in years.

I guess it's not the worst attack ever, but in Chronicles/Akumajo Dracula X68000, Dracula does this move where he gets a big ass claw and swipes with it. It's kind of deceptive and I often get hit by it.

[SilentCircuit]

Maxim in Harmony of Dissonance had some really annoying attacks that can be tough to dodge.
Dracula in Order of Ecclesia sometimes used the wolf summon attack, then the purple one that you have to keep moving to dodge one after another. I always hated that.
Also, Death summoning sickles in pretty much all the games, but especially in the original and SCIV.

The Gargoyle in Bloodlines. Much rage. With the "camera" spinning all the time moving you around, it gets really tough to land hits.

[shelverton.]

Hands down the Marionette/Bloodysword combo in the Chapel Tower of CotM. First time through this area was INCREDIBLY frustrating. Especially if you're underlevelled.

Meh, Death was the thing that beat me in that game. Can't beat it on shooter mode. *cries* and I don't want to grind for lvls... ... ... ... Come to think of it... where is my DS?

Really?? Huh. I've never had much trouble, but I have to admit there's a bit of uneasiness knowing that one bad hit could knock you off. I know the Evil Tower Guardians on that game always gave me the fits, though. I'd always have trouble with the timing: I couldn't dodge their attacks and get off a hit at the same time.

[Flame]

Yeah tower Guardians are a very weird and annoying boss fight.
