This guy is an easter egg that is annoying to kill, but worth it for the humor of the item he rarely drops. He's in a hidden room off the left side of the pit that Dracula throws you down in the beginning of the game. While you can open the room by jumping down the pit, you only have one shot per jump and then you have a long walk back to the top. It is highly suggested to get him after obtaining {{CotMitem|type=Items|name=Roc Wing}}. From the bottom of the pit, jump up, and up, and up. About halfway up the room, start whipping the wall as you fall. Equip the [[Castlevania:_Circle_of_the_Moon/DSS#Jupiter.2FManticore|Jupiter/Manticore]] combo, as this can break the wall on the chance that you miss it with your whip. Once you break it, jump back up and in. Grab the {{CotMpowerup|type=hp|num=39}} and then break the ceiling on the right side. Once you jump up, you'll see the Medalist run off. Even the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Pluto/Griffin|Pluto/Griffin]] combo will not speed you up enough to catch him; however, if you do a Roc Wing jump into the room while running left, you will be able to easily kill him before he gets going. | This guy is an easter egg that is annoying to kill, but worth it for the humor of the item he rarely drops.

Since there is only a 1 in 100 chance that you'll get his rare drop, you'll want to activate your [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Venus/Mandragora|Venus/Mandragora]] combo to boost luck as much as possible.

Or just skip it until you're playing in [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Gameplay#Modes|Thief mode]]. What you're trying to get is the {{CotMitem|type=Equipment|name=Bear Ring}}, which will transform you into a cartoonish bear instead of a skeleton when you use the [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/DSS#Pluto/Black Dog|Pluto/Black Dog]] combo. It's something that's merely meant to be cute and does not help you out with the game. As such, unless you're a completionist, this can just be skipped. | ||

As you're invincible while summoning, you don't need to worry about your defense (besides, even if you have the best armor she can still tear you to pieces quickly), so equip [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/ | As you're invincible while summoning, you don't need to worry about your defense (besides, even if you have the best armor she can still tear you to pieces quickly), so equip [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Gameplay#Stats & leveling|luck boosting]] equipment such as the {{CotMitem|type=Equipment|name=Luck Ring}} and {{CotMitem|type=Equipment|name=Gambler Armband}}, and the luck boosting card combo '''Venus/Mandragora'''(+25% LCK). Eventually you'll get the {{CotMitem|type=Equipment|name=Sage Robe}} from Lilith, which (in addition to being the fifth strongest armor in the game) boosts your intelligence by a whopping 500 points. This means that your MP will recharge incredibly fast, making it that much easier to repeatedly kill her. | ||
Strength is another stat to worry about, since if you can't kill her in two or three summonings, you're probably at a low level and therefore might not have enough MP to cast a fourth time. However, if you're strong enough to defeat Camilla, chances are you're strong enough to kill Lilith in three or less summonings. | Strength is another stat to worry about, since if you can't kill her in two or three summonings, you're probably at a low level and therefore might not have enough MP to cast a fourth time.
