SOTN Maria All Bosses
From Castlevania Speedrunning
Area Strats
Entrance
The fastest strategy here is to use Maria's level 3 fireball and chain slides. Keep in mind that this does make this section more RNG-heavy though. For a more conservative strategy, simply do Flying Kicks buffering them whenever you can.
Boss Strats
Slogra & Gaibon
There are essentially 3 viable strategies you can use depending on your skill level:
- Dragonbreath Spell
- Guardian Knuckle Combo
- Axe + Uppercut
Hippogryph
To improve your chances of getting a quick kill, hold the Jump button after the uppercut, this will make Maria "float" for a little while, improving damage output from Four Beasts and the Book.
Karasuman
You can get a faster kill by using the Book and quickly doing the Dragonbreath Spell
