There is concept art for a "Franken" enemy that never made it into the game in the Castlevania Anniversary Collection. Shoot Frankenstein repeatedly in the kneecaps with the cross and he'll die in short shrift. Luckily, a Skeleton right before the boss room will drop a Cross. If not slain, they will follow the player into the room where Frankenstein dwells.įrankenstein is chained to the wall, so he himself poses no real danger however, he can make blocks to drop from the ceiling these can be destroyed, although it takes a lot of hits. This battle can be made harder if the Hunchbacks from the previous screen aren't dealt with prior to the boss fight. If the player gets too close to him, the monster will swing his chains around in an attempt to knock them away. He isn't entirely helpless, however, as he can strike the back wall and cause large boulders to come raining down upon the player from the ceiling above. Frankenstein's laboratory, preventing him from wandering across the screen. In the arcade title Haunted Castle, Frankenstein is found chained to the far left wall of the late Dr. Now more appropriately named "Frankenstein Monster", except for a change in his palette, he acts exactly the same as did in the original Castlevania. Hitting Frankenstein from a distance with the Boomerang will stun him and combining this attack with the whip can also lock Igor. If the player has the Boomerang, it's recommended to toss them at the boss at the start. After that, hitting him with the whip and stunning him with more Holy Water is recommended. Without the Double or Triple Shot, the bosses will likely break out of the stun after a few seconds, but the player should be able to take anywhere between 1/4 to almost 1/3 of Frankenstein's health. If the player has brought the Holy Water sub-weapon, they will be able to deal some serious damage to Frankenstein and maybe even defeat him right away, while at the same time stun Igor in place and not let him move at all, especially if possessing the Double or Triple Shot (Igor only gets stunned and any damage dealt to him won't deplete the boss's HP bar).
Staying close to the platforms will make it easier to jump over the bosses if trapped. Even though Frankenstein can get in the way, he'll usually stay on right side of the screen for the duration of the fight. Hiding on the inside edge of the platforms is recommended, although the player should be ready to move out of the way as Igor won't always follow this pattern exactly. Igor will generally hop while he's in the middle of the screen and then jump high when he reaches the platforms in the corners. When the player first enters the room, it's recommended to run and jump onto the side of the lower right platform to get in some quick hits before Igor starts moving.

If the player knows how to avoid Igor and his fireballs, both enemies can be defeated considerably easy.

The Universal film reverted to the empty cypher, however: the film's credits list the character Karloff plays as a series of question marks.Īppearances Castlevania See also: Igorįrankenstein is a boss that can give the player a hard time, as not only do they have to deal with him, but also with his miniature hunchbacked partner, Igor. Curiously, Webling's version of Victor Frankenstein actually does give his creature his name. In the film, the monster is notably less lucid and more monstrous, lumbering around and unable to form coherent speech, unlike in the book. The film was based largely on a play by Peggy Webling, performed in London in 1927. In common parlance, the character is often referred to simply as "Frankenstein".Ĭastlevania's incarnations of the Creature are based on the famous 1930s Universal film series starring Boris Karloff. He is also variously referred to as a "creature", "fiend", "dæmon", "wretch", "spectre", "devil", "being" and "ogre" in the novel. The creature does call himself the "Adam of your labours" after obtaining a Bible and reading it.
Frankenstein notably neglects to give his creation a name, a symbol of his lack of a parental figure and the absence of any human sense of self and identity.
