Brauner is the second-to-last boss encountered in the game (save for optional bosses). He usually starts the battle by painting two giant blood trails on the screen that will damage the player upon contact, but which can be destroyed by an attack or a spell. He can perform three different types of trails, each of which that apparently represents a Roman numeral, either II, V or X, all drawn sideways.

He then attacks by producing many blobs of paint-like blood from his hand that are harmful to the touch and spreads them all around him, followed by him summoning monsters from a painting; these can either be avoided or attacked. Depending on the color of the painting, the monsters and their effects will be different:

Green: Summons two giant monsters, each with five large appendages. Each of these entities will then start spinning from the center of the room toward one of its edges, one to the left and the other to the right. They inflict Poison status upon contact.
Gray: Summons two giant ghosts, one on the ground and the other on the ceiling. These will travel to the edge of the screen, one right after the other. They inflict Curse status upon contact.
Blue: A myriad of cycloptic heads will start flying in the heroes' direction. Making contact with any of these will inflict Petrification status to the character, lowering their defenses and leaving them open for any subsequent attacks.
Brauner can also teleport inside his portrait and fly around, damaging the player if they touch it, in an attack that is quite similar to the Captain miniboss from Rondo of Blood.

In his first form, Dracula will teleport around the room, first shooting fireballs in waves of three, five, and three again, and alternating with groups of high and low meteors. He fights alongside Death, who will seek out the player and slash at him. After several repetitions, Dracula and Death will combine for one of three attacks: He will transform into a cloud of bats and attempt to rush down the hero, will draw in a cloud of Death's scythes and expel them as meteors (can only be countered if the scythes are destroyed early in the attack), or will erupt in a large area of effect explosion. Dracula is only vulnerable in his head, but it is easier to target Death during the fight.
For his second form, True Dracula will attack the player first with stomps and knee strikes, also raining down patterns of vertical columns and throwing curving scythes at the hero. Finally, he will fly into the background and use his wings in an attempt to crush the player. This move can kill the player in a matter of seconds, especially on Hard Mode. To further complicate matters, the attack ignores the character's Defense stat, dealing full damage regardless of equipment. To counter this, one must attack one side until it jumps back, then switch sides. Repeating this until both wings are retracted will prevent a Game Over. The partner can be summoned to attack too, but it is not necessary if the player is quick enough. Should the attempt to repel the wings fail, a well timed Dual Crush (as long as it is not 1000 Blades) will make the player impervious to most, if not all, of the damage that the attack deals. Healing with items during the attack can also save the player's life.
