Castlevania Portrait Of Ruin | Playthrough part 10
0Jonathan and Charlotte arrive to what seems to be a circus arena. This is no ordinary circus, however, as a series of statues, or to be more precise, the petrified remains of the attendants can be seen attached to the ceiling. Suddenly, the body of what appears to be a gigantic snake will break through the ceiling, destroying all of them. Near the circus' main stage, the head of a gigantic serpent will emerge and slowly begin acquiring the shape of the torso of a woman: Medusa. In this incarnation, Medusa has a more varied repertoire of attacks than in previous games:
She retracts near the stage and covers her face with her hands while a myriad of Gold Medusas spawn from the snakes on her head, covering almost the entire screen. Gold Medusas cause petrification, leaving the player unable to move, with lowered defenses and open to further attacks, so one must be wary of how dangerous this attack can be. Positioning under Medusa, however, provides a safe spot where the player even can counterattack and deal moderate damage.
Medusa locks-on to the player and stretches her left arm, which briefly transforms into the lunging head of a snake attempting to bite the heroes. She amply telegraphs this move, though, allowing the player to easily avoid it just by getting out of reach.
Medusa will quickly retract and raise her torso, widely opening her eyes and unleashing her trademark petrifying gaze, which covers almost the entire screen. Standing below her, again provides a safe spot, but if the player can't get there in time, just facing away from her will nullify this attack.
Medusa will again cover her face with her hands, but this time her torso will transform into the head of the serpent from the beginning, quickly lunging with great reach and accuracy at the hero and dealing medium to heavy damage. Staying out of her reach or being able to crouch below her, near the bottom-left corner of the room, will allow the player to avoid this attack.
If the player positions themself below Medusa's body, she will always resort to attack with her gigantic serpent tail, breaking out through various sections of the floor and forming big curls with her body, leaving only a small space between them to stand on. This attack is the key to defeat her easily, as the player only needs to stay below Medusa to lure her into performing this attack and just carefully manage to stand between her body parts. Meanwhile, Medusa will be open for attack for a considerable amount of time and the player may then fight back with their best moves. As soon as this attack ends, the player can trigger it again and repeat the process.
