There's apparently a dispute over which Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow boss is the most difficult. So...which do you think is?

For completeness's sake, I've included all the bosses that could possibly be considered any sort of challenge, leaving out (due to 10 poll choices limit) Creaking Skull and Manticore, since those are...way too easy for me to take seriously as challenging.

My answer:

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Balore. Death was somewhat predictable and his small sickles were easy to avoid if you ran around all the time. Legion just moved very very slowly. You can duck under Headhunter's 3rd form's tongue. Belmont was more of pattern-based battle, although after the J-man started throwing sub-weapons I started spamming Flame Demon and Death. Balore was quite unpredictable, and the only real easy strategy against his final phase--"eye lasers" was the Medusa Head soul. Graham was simply a matter of dodging and tedium, while Chaos isn't actually as hard as it looked.

i found death pretty hard if you are playing as the guy with the whip whatever his name was but other then that this game was relatively easy becuase of the soul system.

Why is it that rpg's are now a dying breed?

Death was so hard that my underleveled soul deficient ass had to restart the game.

I heard that you can fight julius and the chaoses. But when? After I beat Graham, the game ended. I don't think I got the true ending because I've seen many sites revealing info that I never got, like the whole Sora being Dracula's reincarnation thing.
