Final boss time.

Final bosses:
Dracula & Death - 00:17
True Dracula - 04:32

I didn't notice I had some really close calls here. Thank goodness Death's attack has a smaller hitbox than it looks.

Anyway, this is the final battle and the first phase has Death and Dracula tagging against you. The main gimmick for this part of the fight is knowing how to position yourself to avoid getting into situation where dodging is impossible.

The second part of the fight is manageable once you know Dracula's attacks (especially that hand slam) and play safe. The wing crush attack was something that gave me a headache at first until I realized I had Tempest which pretty much saves me a lot of trouble dealing with it.

The main problem here, besides the longevity of the fight, is that, much like Brauner, these two have very high DEF and MND for Hard Level 1 and the only reliable way to kill them is using True Vampire Killer or Stellar Sword. STR Boost carryover is also very much welcome and something I was actively avoiding up until now, but since this is the last fight and to avoid having the video going for over ten minutes, it's about time to pop that out.

When push comes to shove... I actually like this fight if only for the fact you fight both Dracula and Death at the same time.

A few notes about this run:

* Played on Hard difficulty at Max Level 1 cap.
* Done on fresh new game (no New Game+ items or benefits AT ALL).
* NO Ancient Armor, Vic Viper, Twin Bee or Konami Man, and any Boss Rush reward.
* Grinding for items, equipment and mastery will done off-screen between videos. I won't use items of areas I haven't visited yet.
* NO Wind duplication item glitch will be used here.
* I won't abuse of certain utterly broken stuff like Miser Ring + Gold Ring + Gold grind.
