As is standard in Castlevania (and most games), each area has a guardian. None of the bosses have random item drops, however after defeating most of them, you will receive a [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Items#Relic|relic]] which will give you new abilities, access to the next area, and allow you to go back and retrieve some [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Items#Power-ups|power-ups]] that you couldn't get to earlier.

The [[#Zombie Dragon|Zombie Dragons]] and [[#Death|Death]] can be skipped, however it is not recommended. Defeating Death will net you the Cleansing relic which makes the Underground Waterway significantly easier. Defeating the Zombie Dragons will get you the Heavy Ring which is necessary to get to Death, numerous power-ups, and [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Enemies#Lilith|Lilith]].

Throw [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Weapons#Boomerang|boomerangs]] at the spot where he's going to appear to maximize your damage while equipping [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Jupiter/Thunderbird|Jupiter/Thunderbird]] to minimize the damage you take. If you have the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Equipment#Armor|Dark Armor]], his attacks will be fairly trivial and the fight should be over in a minute or two.

Fight him just like you did in [[#Magician 10|Magician]] mode: summon [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Uranus/Thunderbird|Thunderbird]] over and over again. You proably have a good supply of [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Items#Mind Restores|mind restores]] at this point, and now is the time to use them. If you have the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Equipment#Armor|Sage Robe]], wear it so your MP restores at a much faster rate. Even though it offers less defense than the Dark Armor, it is better for this fight since keeping your MP up is critical. Also, even with the Dark Armor, most of his attacks can cause significant damage to a Thief, so you should be focusing on avoiding them instead of lessening the damage.
