Here is a list of every enemy in the game, with stats, item drops, and any notes I thought were worth adding. Enjoy!
1. BAT
HP: 1
ATK: 1
EXP: 1
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Slash, Flame
Tolerances: None
Item drops: None
Location: Monastery, Ruvas Forest, Tymeo Mountains, Tristis Pass
“A bloodsucking bat that lurks in the dark.”
Notes: A typical Castlevania bat enemy. Will swoop once across the screen when alerted.
2. ZOMBIE
HP: 9
ATK: 6
EXP: 1
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Slash, Flame, Thunder, Stone
Tolerances: None
Item drops: Rotten Meat
Location: Monastery, Giant's Dwelling, Ruvas Forest (Necromancer Summon)
“A lively animated corpse, magically brought to life.”
Notes: It has no special attacks and simply walks forward. Only does damage on contact.
3. SKELETON
HP: 12
ATK: 5
EXP: 3
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Strike, Flame, Light
Tolerances: Ice, Darkness
Item drops: None
Location: Ecclesia, Monastery, Ruvas Forest, Giant's Dwelling
“A skeletal corpse controlled by magic. One of many.”
Notes: Will walk back and forth and toss a bone overhead at you. Backdash is your friend!
4. GHOST
HP: 5
ATK: 5
EXP: 3
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Slash, Flame
Tolerances: Strike
Item drops: None
Location: Monastery
“The reanimated ghost of a horse killed on the battlefield.”
Notes: Unlike the bats, these are persistent and will keep going after you.
5. BANSHEE
HP: 3
ATK: 7
EXP: 4
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Light
Tolerances: Strike, Slash, Darkness
Item drops: None, but scream attack can be recorded for a quest
Location: Monastery
“An apparition whose chilling wail stops men cold.”
Notes: Decent defenses but can be killed quickly before she has a chance to use her scream attack. Additionally, in folklore, banshees foreshadow the death of a family member or loved one, which may be why they appear in the first level of the game, given later events.
6. BONE SCIMITAR
HP: 17
ATK: 13
EXP: 1
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Strike, Flame, Light
Tolerances: Ice, Darkness
Item drops: Secare
Location: Monastery, Ruvas Forest
“A skeleton warrior. Strangely, it fights with genuine courage.”
Notes: Secare is a useful early glyph and is worth getting in the monastery. The Bone Scimitar itself will move back and forth like a typical skeleton and attack directly in front of it.
7. SEA STINGER
HP: 6
ATK: 8
EXP: 5
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Slash, Thunder
Tolerances: Ice
Item drops: None
Location: Kalidus Channel
“A carnivorous and disturbingly agile fish creature.”

8. NOMINON
HP: 16
ATK: 12
EXP: 7
AP: 1
du
Weaknesses: Slash, Flame
Tolerances: Strike
Item drops: None
Location: Ruvas Forest, Kalidus Channel
“An evil, soul-sucking spirit that paralyzes its victims.”
Notes: One of the more dangerous early game enemies. It will immobilize you and do several ticks of damage if it catches you. I recommend getting Ascia from the Axe Armors in Ruvas Forest as soon as you're able, as it makes them much more manageable. If you have Secare you can also use the Secare union glyph to take them out in the air with ease.
9. AXE KNIGHT
HP: 23
ATK: 15
EXP: 9
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Strike, Thunder
Tolerances: Flame
Item drops: Copper Ore, Ascia
Location: Monastery (Hard Mode), Ruvas Forest, Minera Prison Island
“A heavily-armored warrior with an equally heavy axe.”

ATK: 16
EXP: 6
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Slash, Thunder, Poison, Curse
Tolerances: Thunder, Light
Item drops: Meat, Zircon
Location: Kalidus Channel
“This aquatic hunter spots prey from the water before leaping.”
Notes: Will hop out of the water in front of the player, so just wait for them to get into attacking range. Worth noting that the Zircon is not a quest item so don't bother to grind for it unless needed for completionism.
12. NECROMANCER
HP: 22
ATK: 13
EXP: 7
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Stone
Tolerances: None
Item drops: Fidelis Caries (Glyph steal)
Location: Ruvas Forest
“Uses black magic to animate and control corpses.”
Notes: The first enemy you can steal a glyph from. Neither he nor his zombies are very dangerous as they won't target or attack you directly, but it's worth learning the steal mechanic.
13. BONE ARCHER
HP: 18
ATK: 16
EXP: 5
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Strike, Flame, Light
Tolerances: Ice, Darkness
Item drops: Arcus

ATK: 16
EXP: 4
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Slash, Thunder
Tolerances: Strike, Ice
Item drops: None
Location: Kalidus Channel
“A rare, water-dwelling creature.”
Notes: Fairly annoying. For the underwater bomb segments, just kill Gelso when they appear as it will delay their spawn by a few seconds. Slow and steady wins the race.
17. NEEDLES
HP: 10
ATK: 17
EXP: 2
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Flame, Thunder
Tolerances: Ice
Item drops: Salt
Location: Kalidus Channel, Somnus Reef

Tolerances: Ice, Darkness
Item drops: None
Location: Dracula’s Castle (Castle Entrance, Library)
“The blood they absorb regenerates all wounds.”
Notes: An unkillable skeleton. Deplete its HP to stun it for a few seconds. Will not attack directly but rather walk back and forth.
77. BLACK PANTHER
HP: 168
ATK: 63
EXP: 152
AP: 3
Weaknesses: Slash, Flame, Poison, Curse, Stone
Tolerances: Strike, Light
Item drops: Arma Felix
Location: Dracula’s Castle (Castle Entrance, Library)
“A black, female panther.”
Notes: Will turn friendly and damage other enemies on contact when Arma Felix is used.
78. MIMIC
HP: 293
ATK: 80
EXP: 165
AP: 6
Weaknesses: None
Tolerances: None
Item drops: None
Location: Tristis Pass, Mystery Manor, Dracula’s Castle (Library)
“Poses as treasure to prey on mankind's greed.”
Notes: Will disguise as a regular treasure chest, and then start speeding across the floor when opened. It can be a pesky threat, and be difficult to defeat due to its high speed.
79. DRACULINA
HP: 266
ATK: 66
EXP: 170
AP: 2
Weaknesses: Slash, Flame, Light, Stone
Tolerances: Darkness
Item drops: Crepes Suzette, Stephanie
Location: Dracula’s Castle (Library)
“This female vampire feasts on the blood of intruders.”
Notes: Summons a small bat to do her bidding. Petrification helps a lot with dealing with her persistent swooping. Also, she is based on the bat forms of Dracula’s brides in the 2004 movie “Van Helsing”.
80. TIN MAN
HP: 256
ATK: 55
EXP: 180
AP: 4
Weaknesses: Strike, Thunder
Tolerances: Slash
Item drops: Silver Ore, Gold Ore
Location: Minera Prison Island (Spotlight), Dracula's Castle (Library, Barracks), Large Cavern
“A robot with no soul, and thus no fear.”
Notes: Defeating the spotlight variant will reward you with a Strength Ring. It has two phases. First, it will drive back and forth while spinning its large axe, then once half its health is depleted it will freeze and send out spurts of bullets in whatever direction it faced last. Simply crouch and whallop it with your hammer. Albus’s glyph, Acerbatus, is a good option against these.
81. POLKIR
HP: 155
ATK: 64
EXP: 124
AP: 2
Weaknesses: Slash, Flame
Tolerances: None
Item drops: Fidelis Polkir
Location: Dracula’s Castle (Underground Labyrinth)
“Feasts on the precious memories of its victims.”
Notes: Will float around and occasionally cause fire to rise from the floor. This attack is telegraphed both visually and audibly.
82. NOVA SKELETON
HP: 248
ATK: 80
EXP: 138
AP: 1
Weaknesses: Strike, Flame, Light
Tolerances: Ice, Darkness
Item drops: Nitesco (Glyph steal)
Location: Dracula’s Castle (Underground Labyrinth, Barracks, Forsaken Cloister), Training Hall
“Holes were drilled in his head to implant psionic powers.”
Notes: STEAL NITESCO THE FIRST CHANCE YOU GET. It is the best glyph in the game. You can crouch beneath this enemy’s beam attack in normal mode, but in hard mode it is upgraded to the Nitesco union glyph and cannot be crouched under.
83. GASHIDA
HP: 355
ATK: 65
EXP: 210
AP: 3
Weaknesses: Strike
Tolerances: Thunder
Item drops: None
Location: Dracula's Castle (Underground Labyrinth)

84. DEVIL
HP: 444

“Manipulates ice and flame while moving sluggishly.”
Notes: Will spit a projectile downwards from its mouth or claw at the player.
85. GURKHA MASTER
HP: 240
ATK: 63
EXP: 200
AP: 3
Weaknesses: Strike, Thunder
Tolerances: Flame
Item drops: Iron Leggings
Location: Dracula’s Castle (Underground Labyrinth, Barracks, Arms Depot, Mechanical Tower)
“An armored warrior with a knife of the same name.”
Notes: Its blade is fast moving and it can deal plenty of damage. I advise using Acerbatus to take this enemy out before it can start throwing its gurkha.
86. RED SMASHER
HP: 250
ATK: 65
EXP: 200
AP: 4
Weaknesses: Strike, Thunder
Tolerances: Flame
Item drops: Iron Plate, Vol Culter
Location: Dracula’s Castle (Underground Labyrinth, Barracks, Arms Depot, Mechanical Tower)
“An armored warrior outfitted with twin daggers.”
Notes: Similar to Gurkha Master, but uses swords. Interestingly, it drops Vol Culter rarely, but you will receive Melio Culter from a glyph statue around the same time you encounter this enemy, so it isn't worth farming for apart from completionism.
87. CAVE TROLL
HP: 310
ATK: 60
EXP: 199
AP: 4
Weaknesses: Slash, Flame, Poison, Curse
Tolerances: Strike
Item drops: None, but can be photographed for a quest.
Location: Tymeo Mountains, Dracula’s Castle (Forsaken Cloister, Final Approach)
“This beast extracts cow entrails with its tongue.”
Notes: Can summon an electric field to deal several ticks of damage and stun the player, and will also leap into the air and do a lashing tongue attack. It's a very dangerous enemy when encountered in Tymeo, so I recommend waiting for Dracula’s Castle to photograph it, as the environment for it is more ideal.
88. BLADE MASTER
HP: 200
ATK: 58
EXP: 190
AP: 3
Weaknesses: Strike, Flame, Light
Tolerances: Ice, Darkness
Item drops: None
Location: Skeleton Cave (Hard Mode), Dracula’s Castle (Barracks, Forsaken Cloister, Final Approach)

Notes: A fast skeleton that will leap around and slide at you. Can block some attacks with its blade.
89. LILITH
HP: 366
ATK: 66
EXP: 188
AP: 4
Weaknesses: Slash, Light, Curse, Stone
Tolerances: None
Item drops: Pudding
Location: Dracula’s Castle (Final Approach)
“Tempts her victims by exploiting their most secret fantasies.”
Notes: The description has some interesting character and lore implications given how she greets Shanoa as a “cute little kitty”. Draw your own conclusions. Anyway, she can create a heart projectile that will inflict Curse when it hits Shanoa. Similar to the Werebat otherwise.
90. LIZARDMAN BLADE
HP: 375
ATK: 68
EXP: 238
AP: 6
Weaknesses: Slash, Flame, Stone
Tolerances: Strike
Item drops: None
Location: Misty Forest Road (requires Paries), Dracula’s Castle (Barracks, Mechanical Tower, Final Approach)
“This lizard is reptilian enough to wield a huge sword.”
Notes: More powerful Lizardman variant. Equally susceptible to being petrified. Fidelis Medusa is a great option here.
91. HAMMER SHAKER
HP: 450
ATK: 72
EXP: 260
AP: 5
Weaknesses: Strike, Thunder
Tolerances: Flame
Item drops: Silver Ore, Melio Macir
Location: Dracula’s Castle (Underground Labyrinth, Barracks, Arms Depot, Mechanical Tower)
“A superhuman warrior that swings his hammer effortlessly.”
Notes: Another armor enemy, this one has a big hammer. Slower moving, so you can probably destroy it before it can swing its weapon.
92. REBUILD
HP: 666
ATK: 75
EXP: 400
AP: 7
Weaknesses: Slash
Tolerances: Thunder
Item drops: None

EXP: 44

Weaknesses: Light
Tolerances: None
Item drops: None
Location: Dracula's Castle (Barracks, Mechanical Tower, Final Approach)
“A tiny demon who loves mischief.”
Notes: Can briefly take over your controls and use your last input repeatedly. Thankfully easy to kill, a single blast from Nitesco can usually make quick work of it.
94. BUGBEAR
HP: 156
ATK: 65
EXP: 134
AP: 3
Weaknesses: Light
Tolerances: Thunder
Item drops: None
Location: Dracula’s Castle (Forsaken Cloister, Barracks, Arms Depot, Mechanical Tower, Final Approach)

ATK: 77
EXP: 240
AP: 4
Weaknesses: Strike, Thunder
Tolerances: Flame

Location: Dracula’s Castle (Arms Depot, Final Approach)
“This blade is as sharp and deadly as the spirit that possesses it.”

96. AUTOMATON ZX27
HP: 256
ATK: 80
EXP: 128
AP: 4

EXP: 1
AP: 0
Weaknesses: Slash
Tolerances: None
Item drops: None
Location: Ruvas Forest (Hard Mode), Tymeo Mountains (Hard Mode), Dracula’s Castle (Mechanical Tower, Forsaken Cloister)
“Medusa's severed head spawned multitudes of these pests.”
Notes: A pesky enemy that will fly across the screen in a sine wave pattern and repeatedly spawn. The yellow variants can petrify.
98. GORGON HEAD
HP: 1
ATK: 80
EXP: 1
AP: 0
Weaknesses: Slash
Tolerances: None
Item drops: Fidelis Medusa (Guaranteed), Mirror Cuirass
Location: Dracula’s Castle (Forsaken Cloister, Mechanical Tower)
“Created from the head of Medusa. Turns its victims into stone.”
Notes: Somewhat rare grey variant of Medusa Head. Inflicts petrification. Has two excellent drops, the best familiar in the game and an armor that grants immunity to petrification.

Item drops:Knight Leggings, Knight Cuirass

AP: 30

Location: Large Cavern
“A superior demon, more terrifying than its most dangerous kin.”
Notes: Strongest demon variant, and carries Barlowe’s signature glyph. Can easily be avoided by waiting a minute before running through the rooms where it can appear, as the doors will open. This is because it has to be alerted before it can appear through its portal.
106. DOUBLE HAMMER
HP: 2000
ATK: 180
EXP: 1600
AP: 15
Weaknesses: Strike, Thunder
Tolerances: Flame
Item drops: Gold Ore
Location: Large Cavern, Training Hall
“The only thing more dangerous than a giant hammer is two.”
