Rahab is a boss in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. It is a gigantic fish who moves very quickly underwater and has the ability to generate cold, allowing it to spew balls of water that can freeze the ocean's surface, or create ice shards from various parts of its body. It first appeared in Kid Dracula, where it was called Mr. Dragon, and was a flying dragon instead of a fish.

Shortly after entering the Subterranean Hell, Soma must face Rahab, the monster that dominates the seas. With the added disadvantage of having to fight it in its own territory: the sea, Soma must resort to swimming on the water's surface while Rahab moves freely below, only surfacing from time to time to unleash one of its Water-based attacks. Either by jumping over Soma in a wide arc while creating a series of icicles from various parts of its body or by spewing balls of water with freezing properties, the battle surely takes an interesting approach. Some of Rahab's attacks will freeze the water's surface for a brief moment, however, allowing Soma to have a temporary platform where he can fight properly.

To beat this monster, it's necessary to wait for the boss to come out of the water, when it will do one of three things:

Jumps over Soma, leaving behind a series of icicles which fall down. Swim between them to avoid getting hit. It should stall a few seconds under Soma, where the player can also jump up in the air and slash after entering the water.
Spins around and breaks all of the ice platforms it has made.
Creates ice platforms where the player can stand on. However, this is ill advisable, as it's better to keep on floating in the water in order to avoid getting hurt when it breaks the platforms.
If Rahab is fought in Boss Rush Mode or New Game+, the Claimh Solais may be the best weapon to use against this monster, as it is weak to Holy attacks.

In Julius Mode, the trio (Julius, Alucard and Yoko) automatically have the ability to walk underwater. Just stay under it and keep attacking. When it dives to the bottom of the ocean, crouch down and attack. If the player is standing up while it descends, they will get hit. The player can also follow it when it jumps up out of the water and land a few blows on it, although they will need to quickly get to the bottom of the room after. One could also just keep double-jumping, but crouching at the bottom is easier.

Gergoth awaits the player at the top of the Condemned Tower. It paces back and forth, and attacks either by opening its rib cage and expelling a cloud with Poison, Stone or Curse properties, or by biting forward, which pulls the player toward it while building up. After its initial attack, it will most likely follow with a high jump, attempting to stomp onto the player. The fumes it expels can be pushed away by hitting them (a weapon with a wide arcing pattern, such as a great sword, can be used for this effect).

After Gergoth has sustained enough damage, it will let out a loud shriek and perform another high jump, although this time powerful enough that it actually will destroy the floor of the boss room, as well as all other floors in the tower as both it and the player fall through it. The player can use this opportunity to score a few free hits while both of them are on their way down.

Gergoth has yet another attack, a very powerful laser beam it shoots from its mouth. This attack covers almost the entire room, so the best strategy is to get near the creature and crouch just before it. This safe spot also provides an opportunity to repeatedly attack it on its legs. After enough damage has been dealt, its shackles will break, which signals getting near to the end of the battle. Once its health has been depleted, Soma must draw the Magic Seal 3 in order to send the creature back to its realm.

Gergoth's soul is required in order to forge one of the the two-handed sword upgrades, which leads to the powerful Claimh Solais.
