Dracula (Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse)
Hardest Boss Battles of All Time
Castlevania is no stranger to difficult boss fights – in fact, we could write a whole list on all of the trails it has put players through over the years – but the final boss fight against Dracula in Castlevania III takes the cake.
After players make their way through every horror and abomination his castle has to offer, the blood-sucking count takes you on himself with a hail of fire balls and split-second teleportation.
Once players make it through this phase, they’re then greeted by a monstrous amalgamation of heads spewing venom and blood in every which direction.
If players manage to survive this, they then have to overcome Dracula in his most powerful form, towering over them as a hulking bat creature able to fire lasers in any direction.
It’s grueling, punishing, and more than enough to dry out players’ eyes as they try to make sure they don’t miss a single beat and get sent back to the beginning of the fight.
Luckily, the payoff is worth it, as no other boss in the series has a hope of giving you as much grief as this one does.
