Death is most likely the first boss that you will encounter. He awaits you in a chamber before the Dracula part in the third mansion. He hovers in the air and has two main attacks: throwing small sickles at you and slashing you with his scythe. He slowly floats towards you and starts slashing. The sickles will begin to appear as soon as you enter the room. | Death is most likely the first boss that you will encounter. He awaits you in a chamber before the Dracula part in the third mansion.

To defeat him, approach him and whip him as fast as possible. When he gets too close, run under him to an new spot and repeat until he dies. If you wish to slow him down, you can mix in some attacks with the Mystic Flame once he is close enough to the ground for the pillars to reach him. The flame will lock him in place while you attack him. | To defeat him, approach him and whip him as fast as possible. When he gets too close, run under him to an new spot and repeat until he dies.

If you don't want to fight him, you can choose to ignore him and go through the door on the right to reach the orb. Regardless of whether you defeat him or not, Death will always return when you enter the room. | ||

Though one of the most iconic bosses of the Castlevania series, Carmilla is not tremendously difficult to defeat, especially if you have Dracula's Rib equipped as a shield when you fight her. Carmilla, or more specifically her mask, hovers in midair, out of reach. Her primary attack is to drop bloody tears, which explode into a multi-directional burst when they hit the ground. However, the Rib will absorb these particles and prevent you from taking damage (provided you don't try to walk at the same time). Her other attack is to swoop around the room in a loop (she often does this several times in a row). Stand back just far enough to remain out of reach when she moves, and jump and hit her with your whip. Although she can do little to harm you, she has quite a lot of health, so you will have to hit her many times before she is defeated. If you have the [[../Items#Weapons|Gold Knife]], you can throw one at her as she loops around. Not only does each hit from it inflict significant damage, but she is frozen in place briefly as the flame strikes her multiple times. Given plenty of hearts (and by this time you're likely to have plenty), the Gold Knife is the ideal weapon against her. | Though one of the most iconic bosses of the Castlevania series, Carmilla is not tremendously difficult to defeat, especially if you have Dracula's Rib equipped as a shield when you fight her.
