Game Specific InformationEdit

Castlevania: Portrait of RuinEdit

Astarte appears in Sandy Grave as the game's fourth boss. It is highly recommended that Charlotte solo fights Astarte and not use Jonathan at all. Here is her attacks she'll use:

• "Temptation."  She will shoot heart arrows at you either horizontally or vertically, depending on the pointer of the hearts. When touched, this move will take control of Jonathan, forcing you to switch to Charlotte and fight both Astarte and Jonathan for the duration of the battle. Unless you are incredibly lucky, you will die. Despite you can switch to Charlotte and avoid the move altogether since Charlotte is immune, it is not recommended since astarte is resistant to almost all of her spells. The correct soloution is attack as Johnathan, and when she yells the attack, switch to charlotte in order to absorb it.

• Scarf blade. She will lunge at you and use her scarf to stab you. This can be easily dodged by moving away or jumping behind her.

• Tornado Rod. She will use her rod to spawn a tornado. You can either double-jump it or double-jump and try to get behind her. You might be able to duck under her rod's tip, but that's a little risky.

• Delta Spark. She will retreat and jump backwards and shoot electric triangles at the trail spots she has jumped backwards. Do not approach her at this point until the road is clear; she may walk forward so you don't have to.

Astarte does not take actions so quickly after every move (she often walks around), so take advantage of her slower speed. Attacking from mid-close distance is very ideal for the fight.

A cheap and dirty way to beat her is spamming 1000 blades. During the fight, just use Charlotte, and spam it like crazy and the fight will end very quickly.

Castlevania: Harmony of DespairEdit

Astarte is the boss of Chapter 7, the DLC stage Beauty, Desire, Situation Dire!, in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. Astarte fights almost the exact way she did in Portrait of Ruin, except she inflicts a lot more damage (some moves are near-instant death) and has a lot more HP than her counterpart. Her "Temptation" move affects all male characters for a short duration and can only be dodged by a timed double jump above her head, or sliding under them from behind her once she launches them. In addition, Soma can use the Medusa Head soul to hover directly above her to dodge them. The attack may also be avoided by ducking in the corners of the room, but not always.
