In need of extra food items from a particular boss? What is this Miracle Egg that people keep yelling about? This FAQ is designed to give you information on stealing from each type of enemy found throughout the game and what particular item(s) each enemy will drop. I have listed the location of the enemy, any items dropped, the stolen item, and the way to steal for each enemy.

Stealing from Death is incredibly tough, and may require you to perfect guard some of his attacks in order to get hearts to stay alive for more chances. Thankfully, many of his moves can be perfect guarded if you get the timing down. Use the fairy-type Innocent Devil to heal yourself while trying. Below is three ways that I know of to steal from him successfully... > 1) If you have the "Invincibility Jar" skill from the fairy Innocent Devil (Tiramisu) you should be able to stand in front of him while encased in the fire provided that you do the ability at the right time. In order for his window of steal to still be open while trying this method, you must do the Invincibility Jar as he holds the ball of fire in his hand. It must wear off as soon as the fire starts to go away. Jump and steal from him if you see the purple cursor. Some people claim that you can also steal from him while on the ground. > 2) Stand in front of Death as he unleashes his big bang attack. Guard the first hit, then perfect guard the next eight attacks from it, then jump and steal from him. > 3) If you can mix the above two methods, you may be able to steal from him as well. Have your Invincibility Jar purposely wear off right before the final hit of the big bang, perfect guard the hit, then jump toward Death and steal. A perfect guard right before the steal will increase your chances greatly since the final hit is right before his window of steal opens. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Death Ripper -- > Location: Eneomaos Machine Tower, Dracula's Castle, Tower of Eternity 2nd (10F) > Dropped item(s): Ice Cream (rare) > Stolen item: 100 Gold > When to steal: As they land from each jump, and while they recover from their jump attack. You can also steal from him shortly before and after his slide attack. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dracula (boss) -- > Location: Dracula's Castle, Boss Rush Mode > Dropped item(s): N/A > Stolen item: Tomato Juice > When to steal: Right after dodging his grab attack. Jump and steal from the upper portion of his body. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dracula (Demon Form) (boss) -- > Location: Dracula's Castle, Boss Rush Mode > Dropped item(s): N/A > Stolen item: Vampire Blood > When to steal: As he flies toward the platform with a dashing punch, you can steal from him the second he stops. Try to roll out of the way and then immediately steal from him. Another way is to do a double jump as he dashes toward the platform and steal from him as you're landing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Duke Mirage -- > Location: Tower of Eternity 2nd (16F, 15F) > Dropped item(s): Light Ring > Stolen item: 500 Gold > When to steal: When he does his dashing thrust attack (many thrusts). He will slightly pause before he does this. Back away, roll out of his way when he dashes, then steal while he ending the thrusts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dullahan (boss) -- > Location: Infinite Corridor, Boss Rush Mode > Dropped item(s): N/A > Stolen item: Purple Glitter > When to steal: When he goes to do his jumping attack you must steal from his back in the air. You must be ready for him to do this attack, which means you have to stay right next to him. As he jumps, do a normal jump and steal from him as he reaches the ground. Once you have stolen, do another jump in the air and you might be able to avoid the shockwave attack on the ground. He does his jump attack right at the beginning of each battle, so you can steal from him at the start of the boss fight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Ectoplasm -- > Location: Garibaldi Temple, Mortvia Aqueduct, Infinite Corridor, Tower of Eternity 2nd (23F) > Dropped item(s): Uncurse, Curse Sealing Ring (rare) > Stolen item: 50 Gold > When to steal: When it moves towards you and tries to curse you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Efreet -- > Location: Garibaldi Temple (outside), Dracula's Castle, Tower of Eternity (19F), Tower of Eternity 2nd (33F) > Dropped item(s): Jet Black, Sunnyside Up Egg (rare) > Stolen item: Sun Tears > When to steal: Attack him until he is extremely low in health and wait for him to grab you and attempt his suicide move.

A: Yes. Use the Battle-type's guard setting and if the enemy hits him while his shield is up that will count as a perfect guard. I would heavily recommend this for Armored Sprinters. [2] Q: Is there an easy way to get the Miracle Egg? A: Well, no. There are items and Innocent Devils that will help to raise your luck, but they haven't helped me any. The rare ring once gave me two Miracle Eggs pretty quickly from Evil Cores, but that is about it. Defeating the Golden Bones enemy is a guaranteed Miracle Egg however...all 12,000 HP of him. [3] Q: Is there an easy way to steal from Death? A: With Death it is all about timing when stealing from him. Perfect guarding the final hit of the big bang attack and jumping toward him afterward is the best way to get that Death's Pulse. His window of steal only last for about a second, and will open as the big bang explosion starts to die down. [4] Q: Can I keep going through Boss Rush Mode collecting all the rare steal items from the bosses? A: You betcha! I've actually started up a wondrous food collection thanks to Boss Rush Mode. [5] Q: Berserker, what is your favorite weapon to use while stealing and searching for dropped items that enemies carry? A: Why, my Piko Piko Hammer of death of course! ^_^ =============================================================================== -- Copyright This document (c) 2005 Kevin Hall (Berserker) Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (c) Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. 2005.

Thank you so much for your help! - see_lee_@yahoo.com for the Frost Dragon locations. - http://network-science.de/ascii/ for the ASCII art. =============================================================================== -- Contact Info I can be reached at my email address, which is > berserker_kev@yahoo.com <, so please contact me if you have any questions, comments, etc. I don't mind receiving emails at all. All I ask is for you to try to make the email decent. I realize that some people do not speak perfect English or cannot type that well, so that doesn't really matter to me, but all that I ask is that you try to make it readable. I would prefer you not to add me to your messenger, but if you do, at least tell me a bit about yourself and why, or if I know you, tell me who you are. One of my pet peeves is when people just add me to their messenger without saying anything. I usually just deny their request. Last but not least, do not send me any viruses or spam mail please.
