Background Music: Black Shudder When: First battle with Dario (At the top of Garden of Madness)
Dario Bossi: Here at last! You really stepped outta bounds, punk! Soma Cruz: Huh? Dario Bossi: Dmitrii. I'm talking about Dmitrii. Soma Cruz: I didn't mean to kill your friend. I didn't finish-- Dario Bossi: Hunh? Whaddaya sayin'? I wanted to pummel that uppity jerk myself! Soma Cruz: Doesn't your friend's death mean anything to you? Dario Bossi: Him? Ha! You gotta be jokin'. Ah, let's get on with this already. Soma Cruz: Why do you want to become the dark lord anyway? Dario Bossi: Why? Look at this power!!
(Dario unleashes a powerful fire spell that burns the whole garden) Dario Bossi: Can you imagine how crazy it'll be with even more power?! Soma Cruz: You're insane... Dario Bossi: And you yap way too much! Come on, punk! I'll roast ya to a cinder!
(The battle begins)
When: After defeating Dario (Soon after, Dario loses the fight)
Soma Cruz: You can give up trying to become the dark lord. Dario Bossi: A punk like you... You're not walkin' away from this...
(Dario tries to conjure another powerful spell but suddenly Celia appears and intervenes) Celia Fortner: Dario, enough. Dario Bossi: Celia... Don't try to stop me! A man's got his pride! Celia Fortner: I know that. But I am not prepared to lose the last candidate. We'll pull back for now. I have another plan...
(Celia teleports Dario away) Dario Bossi: Wroaah! Celia Fortner: I underestimated you. But this game isn't over yet. I shall be waiting on the uppermost floor. Come if you dare!
(Celia vanishes in front of Soma)
Background Music: Dark Clouds When: If Mina's Talisman was mot equipped (In the middle room of Garden of Madness)
Soma Cruz: Huh?! Mina!!
(Mina is crucified upon a tree just between Celia and Soma) Mina Hakuba: Soma! Celia Fortner: Soma Cruz. Behold, the last moments of your loved one's life.
(Celia is conjuring a spell pointing towards Mina) Soma Cruz: Wait! Stop!!
(Soma tries to stop Celia but he was too late. Celia pierces Mina with a beam of light) Mina Hakuba: S-Soma...
(Mina dies) Mina Hakuba: ...
(Soma is starting to lose himself) Soma Cruz: Mina!! You... You heartless wench... Celia Fortner: It certainly wasn't easy spiriting her away. Go ahead. Hate me. You hate me enough to wish death upon me, don't you? Soma Cruz: You... You'll pay for this...
(Dark souls are staring to gather round Soma and absorbing them) Celia Fortner: The power of chaos is gathering... I was right. Now hate me more. When your hatred peaks, the new dark lord shall emerge. Soma Cruz: If it means getting Mina's revenge, I'll do it. Make me the dark lord. Mina, forgive me... I can't honor your wish... Celia Fortner: It's coming... The birth of the new dark lord! Soma Cruz: AAAAAAAAAAGH!
(Soma strikes Celia down) Celia Fortner: Wh-Why? I brought you back into this world... Soma Cruz: Shut up. You annoy me. That's all the reason I need. Besides, the petty little humans will die off soon enough. Your turn came a little earlier, that's all. Hahahahaha.
(Soma laughs evily)

Soma Cruz: Huh?! Mina!!
(Mina is crucified upon a tree just between Celia and Soma) Mina Hakuba: Soma! Celia Fortner: Soma Cruz. Behold, the last moments of your loved one's life.
(Celia is conjuring a spell pointing towards Mina) Soma Cruz: Wait! Stop!!
(Soma tries to stop Celia but he was too late. Celia pierces Mina with a beam of light) Mina Hakuba: S-Soma...

Celia Fortner: It's coming... The birth of the new dark lord! Soma Cruz: AAAAAAAAAAGH! ???: Soma! Don't be fooled! Soma Cruz: !!
(Arikado intervenes Soma's transformation) Genya Arikado: That Mina is a fake! Celia Fortner: Arikado! Why must you always get in the way? Genya Arikado: How clever of you to use a Doppelganger. Ah, but you haven't won just yet...
(The dark souls that dominates Soma suddenly wane) Soma Cruz: Uuuuugh! Genya Arikado: What?! What's wrong?
(The dark souls starts to get out of Soma's body and transfers to the body of fake Mina) Celia Fortner: D-Dmitrii... Dmitrii Blinov: I should thank my lucky stars for making good my escape. I managed to loosen myself when the boy's emotions shifted momentarily. Celia Fortner: I thought you'd died... Dmitrii Blinov: Shedding my former body was a desperate gamble. But it has worked out quite well. Genya Arikado: You copied the power of dominance from Soma? Dmitrii Blinov: Ah, so you understand. I touched the boy's soul and copied his ability. And I have been doubly lucky in finding a suitable replacement for my body. Celia Fortner: Y-You obtained the same power as Soma Cruz? Dmitrii Blinov: When I fought the boy, I confirmed one thing. Dracula's heir need not be the inheritor of the dark lord's power. I only need to possess the same ability to become the true dark lord's heir. And of course, only I could gain that ability. Genya Arikado: I won't allow that. Dmitrii Blinov: Have patience, Arikado. Or perhaps I should address you with your real name? When the boy began his dark transformation, I scanned memories of his past lives. Make one move, and the boy will die. You don't wish that, do you? Genya Arikado: Hmph.
(Soma gets up) Soma Cruz: Does becoming the dark lord really mean that much to you? Dmitrii Blinov: I have told you before. I wish to learn what my power signifies. Celia. I must gain dominance over more powerful demons. I will surpass the boy. Celia Fortner: So be it. Soma Cruz, I take back what I have said to you. It seems that death is your only destiny.
(Dmitrii and Celia vanish before their eyes) Soma Cruz: Arikado, where do you think they've gone? Genya Arikado: I imagine that they've gone to the basement of the tower next to the castle. A foul, unearthly energy emanates from there. There must be a portal to the dark side that fuels the castle's existence. Soma Cruz: I see... Genya Arikado: Don't do anything rash. You're not in any shape to fight now. Let us handle this. Soma Cruz: His power is mine. I must be the one to stop him. Genya Arikado: ... Fine... But Julius and I will go in first.
(Arikado leaves)
