Super Castlevania 4 sur Super Nintendo - Niveau 8 : The Basement

The Catacombs

Even if the enemies in this level are not super dangerous, you will have to be wary of the spikes. In fact, there is a lot of "one shot" potential in this level, so you should always be on your guard even if your health doesn't drop. There are also holes to avoid falling into and, unlike the caves, the drops falling from the ceiling make you lose life (and potentially make you fall into a green liquid). If you fall into the liquid, you can jump to get out, but don't dawdle or you will die suddenly.

The Dungeons

Well, I changed the title but the scenery is the same after the stairs. On the other hand, the number of enemies drops even lower to leave even more room for various sharp and pointy things. All the spiked platforms kill you in one shot. This is not the case for the spear-like objects falling from the ceiling, which are best passed without stopping.

Level 8 Boss: Frankenstein (The Creature)

This boss needs no introduction and is inspired by Frankenstein's creature from Mary Shelley's book (or rather James Whale's film). He walks very slowly and throws all sorts of magic potions at you. I've counted 3:

• A pink one which, when it explodes on the ground, burns everything around it over a relatively large distance (climb onto a block).
• A gray one that creates another Frankenstein who is invincible for a short time and then dies in one hit.
• A green one that splits in the air into 5 small balls that fall to the ground and burn when they touch it (the hardest to avoid).

Spamming the boomerang will take care of him in an instant. Otherwise, hit him with the whip as much as you can; he's a fairly simple monster.
