Castlevania Portrait Of Ruin | Playthrough part 4
0Astarte appears in the Sandy Grave as the game's fourth boss. Her attacks are the following:
Temptation: She will shoot heart arrows at the general direction of the hero. If Jonathan/Richter is hit by this attack, it will take control of him, forcing the player to switch to Charlotte/Maria and fight both Astarte and Jonathan/Richter for the rest of the battle. Unless the player is skilled enough to handle the situation, the fight will more than likely end in Astarte's favor. Although the player can switch to Charlotte/Maria from the beginning and avoid the move altogether (since she is immune), it would prolong the fight since Astarte is resistant to almost all of her spells. A viable solution would be attacking as Jonathan and when she yells the attack, switch to Charlotte/Maria in order to nullify it. Even if Jonathan/Richter is affected, though, he is not entirely unstoppable. Once Charlotte/Maria has dealt enough damage to him, he will simply crouch downward and remain that way until the battle is over.
In Old Axe Armor Mode, the Old Axe Armor is also immune to this attack, likely to prevent Astarte from killing the player in a single hit.
Scarf Blade: She will lunge at the hero and use her scarf to stab them. This can be easily dodged by moving away or jumping behind her.
Tornado Rod: She will use her rod to spawn a tornado. The player can either double-jump it or double-jump and try to get behind her. Ducking under her rod's tip, while a little risky, does allow more opportunities for the player to deal damage to Astarte, no matter their choice of weaponry.
Delta Spark: She will retreat and jump backward, then shoot electric triangles at the trail spots where she jumped on. Do not approach her at this point until the road is clear; she may walk forward so the player doesn't have to.
Astarte does not take actions so quickly after every move (she often walks around taunting), so take advantage of her slower speed. Attacking from mid-close distance is ideal for the fight. A cheap way to beat her is spamming 1,000 Blades. During the fight just use Charlotte alone and cast it twice, another after the first one ends. The fight will end very quickly.
