The Giant Merman, as the name suggests, is a large Merman that serves as the boss of the Aqueduct of Dragons in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.

Description[]

The Giant Merman has control over bodies of water. It stops for a moment, builds up energy and unleashes a wave of water that travels along the room. It then jumps and curls into a ball, rolling fast toward Juste, attempting to run over him. Next, it will summon the aid of a group of either Mermen or Fishmen, and command them to attack him.

Strategy[]

This boss is weak to Ice, so attaching the Blue Stone to the Vampire Killer will deal the most damage possible to it. It has very predictable attack patterns overall and will always telegraph them by making little pauses before performing each one. The fight always starts with it conjuring and unleashing a wave of water; this is easily avoidable by double jumping over it, and it also doesn't have very high reach. The player should take advantage of this time to attack the boss constantly, only stopping to jump over the wave.

The Giant Merman will follow by curling into a ball and rolling at Juste. Just do a double jump and hit it with a dive kick to land behind it, Juste won't take damage this way even if the boss is in the middle of this attack.

Once it comes back to normal, the Giant Merman will stop for a moment and summon the aid of a group of either two Fishmen or four Mermen randomly. It is recommended to make good use of the player's available spell fusions at this moment to get rid of the auxiliary mob. A spell like the Soul of Hydra (summoned by combining the Axe sub-weapon with the Fire Book) can deal massive amounts of damage to all enemies. For this reason, it's also advised to save some spare MP for tight situations like these, and not waste it all at the start of the battle.
