Castlevania: Curse of Darkness Boss Fights 5

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness on Normal difficulty. No item use in these boss fights. By the way, I think Isaac has one of the most awesome bad guy laughs ever. Dullahan - steal right when he's about to land from his jump attack. You can do this right at the beginning of the battle. He does two hit sword combos and sometimes follows with a shield rush. Sidestep the sword swings, block the shield rush if you want to avoid damage. For the jump, jump and double jump before hitting the ground to avoid the shockwaves. When he raises the sword with the point down, he jams it into the ground and causes an ice shield to form around him. Just get out of range to avoid damage. For the laser beam, just sidestep through it. I didn't realize that the Seven Bladed Sword gives you back energy with each hit until I watched my video. Isaac Second Fight - dueling Jedis? I forgot that he uses the Laser Blade, which is what I happened to be using at that point in the game. His combos look exactly like Hector's, so just sidestep as necessary. He summons three IDs in this battle, a Crimson (bird type), an Iyeti (battle type), and a Rasetz (speedy battle type). Get rid of them as fast as possible or it is going to cause you problems. Isaac does a move where he glows and then rushes you with a punch after about half his life is gone. If you get hit, it grabs you and does continuous damage, so watch it. You can steal from Isaac when you send him flying from a hit, but it's just Cheese, so I didn't care that I missed it. Death - I tried several times to steal from this guy, but it was too much of a pain, so I just said forget it and fought him. He swings his scythe, usually twice from right to left or vice versa. This is pretty easy to Perfect Guard. Sometimes he summons mini sickles that home in on you, so block and then roll, or Perfect Guard if you can get the timing down. For the flaming scythe I waited till he's about to throw it, then roll forward, and then back or to the side, depending on where it returns from. Roll forward so you don't roll the same direction as it flies and take damage. For the hand attack ("Out of my way"), wait until the screen is about to stop glowing and roll backwards to get out of its hitting range. For the glowing orb that he throws, I had to use the Invincible Vase skill from the Tiramisu fairy (much like I did in Lament of Innocence with the Deadly Tempest attack). It causes a huge explosion, and I'm not quite sure how to avoid damage. I believe the steal window opens during this attack, but I was repeatedly unable to get it. For the flaming dragon attack after about half his life is gone, watch your feet, so you know when it's going to pop up under you, and sidestep out of the way till it's over.
