Once Soleiyu is done talking, you'll be on the final stretch. Despite the creepy background there are no enemies here, so whip all the candles and collect all the items you come across, then head down the rope on the far right. Once you've gone down it you'll be in a arena, which contains several platforms and two sets of spikes. Whip the lone candle and collect the crystal...



A large skull will appear at the top of the arena, which is then joined by the four castle spirits. These spirits will head into the skull, transforming it into Dracula! Dracula will raise his hand, and eight large orbs will start circling around him.



After a couple of seconds, Dracula will sent these orbs out, with them covering the entire arena. You will need to either duck or jump to avoid being hit. Dracula will then teleport to another platform, and use this attack again -as he moves position, get in as close as you can and try to attack his head a couple of times, as this is the only way you can hurt him. Once Dracula summons his projectiles, they will act as a shield and you will no longer be able to do any damage to him, so back off and get ready to jump or duck. You can tell which platform Dracula will teleport to next as several clear orbs will zone in on it -the white orbs can't hurt you.



The main tactic with this battle is to be in position for when Dracula send out his orbs, as they will take off three points of health whenever one of them hits you, which is a lot. Don't get too greedy trying to hit him either, as you've only really got the time to strike him twice at most before you need to retreat. Once he is defeated, Dracula will revert back to a skull. This skull will then disappear, as the castle begins to crumble.
