Dracula

This is the Dracula from one of the Dracula X's so if you finished it, he might seem familiar. His first form alternates between 3 fireball and 2 larger fire ball attacks. His second form shoots fire balls from its mouth and jumps around. You can't lose this fight. You can try to look impressive by kicking his butt without needing Maria's help. If you should "die," she'll come and do something that'll make you invincible and quite powerful. This fight is the opening of the game. It's pretty cool because the music's good and you can test out Richter's special skills. Holy Water (Hydro Storm, the item crash) is way better than Holy Cross. Show some technique and try to beat him without using an item crash or dying. The spells section should help you do that and you have plenty of space to practice before the fight.
