Easy Method: While staying at the entrance activate Diana/Griffin. After six to eight sonic boom shots he should die. Just double jump out of the way if any of the "fireballs" comes your way. No other boss attack should get in range.

Challenging Method: He takes two hits of big bones before perish, and you have to toss while jumping to make a hit. Hide whenever needed.

Alternative Strategy: Do the same thing as the Earth Whip Strategy from Vampire Killer Mode but replace it with the more powerful Sonic Whip, (Diana/Griffin).

If you want to challenge with big bones: Stay at the top platform in the middle and pray to throw a big bone. Kill the right side first since it may spit fire as soon as he's aiming you. The left one is more predictable, just use your Pluto + Unicorn to dodge.

The [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Uranus/Cockatrice|Cockatrice summon]] is your best bet for this form, as not only are you invincible while casting, it also clears out the sickles and Death, who only moves horizontally, can't avoid the Cockatrice as much as he can the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Uranus/Thunderbird|Thunderbird]]. Unfortunately this depletes your MP rapidly (even with the Magician's high intelligence and MP). If you get drained, either use [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Items#Mind Restores|MP restoring items]] or turn on the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Jupiter/Unicorn|Jupiter/Unicorn]] to shield yourself from the sickles (you still have to avoid the spikes and magic) until your MP replenishes itself.

Luckily his attacks are all straight forward, dodging them while hitting him twice with big bones shall not be too hard.

Either use [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Neptune/Black Dog|Neptune/Black Dog]] to absorb damage from his sickles, or use [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Jupiter/Unicorn|Jupiter/Unicorn]] to shield yourself. The shield is generally a better idea as the Neptune card will still let you get thrown around and the sickles will drain your MP very fast. Now is the time to throw [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Weapons#Boomerang|boomerangs]] if you have hearts, otherwise just keep summoning ([[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Uranus/Thunderbird|Thunderbird]] actually works better than [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Uranus/Cockatrice|Cockatrice]] against this form). He also takes 2 hits of big bones in this form, but you have to [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Pluto/Unicorn|hide]] when he slows down you. In this case, the only attack chance is after he uses a Quake.

Again, use [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Uranus/Cockatrice|Uranus/Cockatrice]], doing massive damage but resulting in you taking a hit afterwards. As before, get the Dark Armor from [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Enemies#Lilim|Lilim]] before the fight (while the Sage Robe offers excellent defense, the Dark Armor is twice as good and you don't need the Robe's intelligence boost). If your HP gets too low, just use [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Uranus/Unicorn|Uranus/Unicorn]] to heal yourself. It's better to heal at the highest platform, where he can only damage you with flying swords.

If you are skilled enough to use summon, try to spam [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Uranus/Thunderbird|Uranus/Thunderbird]] at the place of skeletal face in the background. Each time after use, make a super jump and cast Thunderbird again without landing. Never try your big bones - he's too agile.

Summon [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Uranus/Cockatrice|Uranus/Cockatrice]] over and over again. Once you get timing down, you can ensure that he takes maximum damage and you don't get hit with projectiles by summoning too late. It doesn't really matter, as you probably have more than enough MP to take him down, even inefficiently.  Using [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Pluto/Black Dog|bones]] will be very challenging, but takes least possible time.
