;Characteristics:On their own, Slogra will try to stab or shoot a fireball with his spear, and Gaibon will try to shoot fireballs diagonally downwards.  Both fireballs can be blocked with shields.  Occasionally, Gaibon will snatch Slogra and try to drop him from above, making a downward thrust.  After taking enough damage, Slogra will drop his spear and change to attack with his sharp mouth, and Gaibon will turn red and shoot fireballs faster, just like in their [[Super Castlevania IV]] debut.

;Strategy:From this battle you shall learn the basic tactics of fighting a dual boss - focus on either first.  A Leather Shield is enough to block the fireballs, and the easier job is to stab Slogra to his losing.  An Axe is effective when both are airborne, or if Gaibon is left alone.

;(11,23):Go past a few Bone Scimitars and Bloody Zombies.  Quickly reach (13,22) for a save, and take a detour to (13,23) for some handy gears.  After that, move up to (12,21) and go right.
;(15,23):The switches can call the elevator.  Stand above and crouch to make it go downwards.  Stop at (15,26) and find a pair of Sunglasses on the left. Move to bottom and enter (14,29), hit the switch of cannon to clear the path, and pick up a Basilard if you haven't collected it earlier.
;(13,21):Some Bloody Zombies are roaming.  Dark Metamorphosis is effective.
;(17,21):Beware of the Spitter Bones.  Get rid of those Axe Knights, and collect a Potion from a sphere at (17,22), then leave this area from (19,21), and move to {{~|Marble Gallery}}.
