*'''Poison Bubbles''': Red bubbles will float around, poisoning you if you come in contact. If you get poisoned, use an [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Items#Status Restorers|antidote]] immediately. [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Jupiter/Serpent|Jupiter/Serpent]]'s shield will block 90% of the bubbles, and [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Neptune/Manticore|Neptune/Manticore]] will absorb the poison, but drain your MP and you still get thrown back. Alternatively, swinging your whip will usually block all attacking bubbles. Dracula always uses this as his opening move. | *'''Poison Bubbles''': Red bubbles will float around, poisoning you if you come in contact.

*'''Laser''': A ''very'' powerful laser will sweep the ground near you. Can usually be avoided if you stand on the platform furthest from him, however it is easier to just use the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Items#Relics|Roc Wing]] to stay airborne until he's done (he usually does this 2–4 times in a row). Each firing makes a very distinct high-pitched tone, so you can hear when he's done using it. However, if | *'''Laser''': A ''very'' powerful laser will sweep the ground near you.

Each firing makes a very distinct high-pitched tone, so you can hear when he's done using it. However, if Nathan is on one of the platforms when Dracula appears before using this attack, the position Dracula will appear at will cause the lasers to completely miss most of the platform Nathan is standing on, leaving Dracula completely open for attack at the perfect distance for releasing boomerangs. Attacking Dracula during this time is the most efficient way to deal damage with the boomerangs as there are no bubbles or meteors to avoid. | ||
*'''Comet''': Numerous comets rain down at an angle. Difficult to avoid, but since it's stone based, you can use [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Neptune/Cockatrice|Neptune/Cockatrice]] to absorb the damage. As it is a very strong attack, this may drain your MP rapidly, so use [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Pluto/Unicorn|Pluto/Unicorn]] if possible. | *'''Comet''': Numerous comets rain down at an angle.

*'''Charge''': He swings back a bit then rushes forward rapidly. This is an ''incredibly'' strong attack and can kill even a [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Fighter|Fighter]] in a few hits. There is an obvious pattern to it though: when he teleports in and is flashing, he's going to charge. Stand near him on one of the upper platforms and Roc jump when he moves back into the swing. Don't jump too early or you'll land on him, or too late and get hit by him. He does this 2–4 times in a row (usually fewer times the closer he is to dying). | *'''Charge''': He swings back a bit then rushes forward rapidly.

Don't jump too early or you'll land on him, or too late and get hit by him. He does this 2–4 times in a row (usually fewer times the closer he is to dying). If a Roc jump is performed at the top of a double jump or from one of the platforms, Nathan will come close to hitting the ceiling or plain hit it; if this happens there will be a large window of error in the timing as Dracula is limited in how far up he can chase Nathan. As such, jumping the moment the flash appears will be effective and is possibly easier to react to. | ||
*'''Transform''': He turns into an eyeball (the same one that was his weak point at the start of the fight) surrounded by a cloud of bats. He doesn't necessarily fly at you, but the cloud is large and the bats go off in random directions. While the bats can be destroyed in a single hit, only damage to the eye counts as draining Dracula's HP. He transforms after he's done charging, so if he doesn't appear right away after you land, he's transformed and will be coming at you from the top of the screen. | *'''Transform''': He turns into an eyeball (the same one that was his weak point at the start of the fight) surrounded by a cloud of bats.
