Which boss battles are the hardest??

One of the good things about the Castlevania series are none other than the boss battles!! Some of them were, and still are easy for some of of the fans, and harder than hell for the rest of the fans of the series. So, I'm wondering which boss battles are the hardest??

I would have to say that the boss battle with the Forgotten One in Lament of Innocence was the hardest boss battle for me, because of the falling maggots that kept falling and jumping around, and the 3rd and final stage where you had to steer clear of the Forgotten One's fire attack that he uses on you after he inhales and brings the rocks down to try and crush you!!

Plus, the final battle between Christopher Belmont and Dracula in Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge was prettty hard and difficult for me as well, because of the orbs that he magically sent out to attack you, and the fact that he kept teleporting from one part of the battleground to the next.

You guys should try Castlevania III. I'll make you cry tears of joy at how easy all the action/rpg style Castlevania games are.

Death, immediately following the end boss of Lament of Innocence.  That guy did not make me happy.  But neither of them compare to Death in the original Castlevania.  Flying scythes are just evil....  Can I get some friends from this Union?

It is a difficult battle to fight Walter directly before Death. . .  I think I just make it harder on myself because I don't usually let myself use any healing items.  The Forgotten One is another good challenge in Lament of Innocence.  Beating him with Joachim makes for a great fight.  Leon and Pumpkin have it a bit easier, since you can use healing items if you want.

When i was beating Lament for the first time I had beating walter down to a science, i was able to beat him without loosing any more than a quarter to 5/8's of my life and not using any healing items. It was death that kept screwing me over untill i got his attack patterns down. The forgotten one took me quite a while to learn with both Joachim and Leon, but made for a fun fight. I started playing as pumpkin but only made it through a few of the bosses before i moved on to another game. In the end i think i liked playing as Joachim a bit more than Leon. propyro

I agree. . .  Playing as Joachim is really awesome.  He is arguably one of the best 'extra' characters I've ever played as in a Castlevania game.  He might even be one of the best bonus or secret characters of any game.

The most trouble I ever had with a boss battle in a Castlevania game was Death from the original game.r_benchley

I'm glad to see that you like my taste in games:D  I'm going to be starting a tri-Ace union in the next few days, so if you're interested, you're more than welcome to join.  Spread the word to all other tri-Ace fans that you know.  I would love to also start unions for NIS games and the Megami Tensei games, but I believe you can only lead one union at a time unless unless you're taking over for a pre-existing union.
