Lilith is an enemy in the Castlevania series. She is an alluring demon who deludes her victims with her mystifying beauty.

Origins[]

Lilith - 01

Lilith by John Collier (1892).

According to medieval Jewish apocrypha, Lilith was Adam's first wife. Lilith considered herself equal to Adam, as they were both created from dust. After Lilith refused to lie beneath him while having intercourse, she cursed him and departed toward the Red Sea. Adam complained to God regarding Lilith and God sent three angels to retrieve her. When the angels found Lilith by the sea, they commanded her to return with them under the threat that she would lose a hundred of her demonic children by death if she refused. Lilith replied that she preferred the punishment to living with Adam. After this incident, Lilith took her revenge by injuring babies.

The name "Lilith" with supernatural connotations also appears in the Book of Psalms.

The name "Lilith" and her demonic heritage is derived from a Mesopotamian night spirit named Lilitu, who is referred to as "Queen of the Night".

Description[]

Liliths are a type of lady bats in the Castlevania series. In Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, both she and Lilim[1] are demons resembling beautiful women with wings. She attacks by generating several rings imbued in darkness that spin around her and which she can hurl at the player. She can fly all over the screen with great speed and mobility.

Since Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and subsequent titles, she remains hovering at ground level. When attacked, she sometimes dodges backward and retaliates either by sending out a kiss that curses the player or by lunging forward to hug them and feast on their blood.

Appearances[]

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon[]

Lilith appears in a hidden room of the Underground Warehouse only after defeating Camilla. Reigning supreme over all other lady bats, she can deal devastating amounts of damage in just a few hits, making her one of the most dangerous regular enemies in the game. She yields a whopping 20,000 EXP points per kill, though, and also drops the very valuable Sage Robe (DEF +250, INT +500), so she is a favorite among players for grinding and leveling up (around level 50-60).

To defeat her, it's recommended to summon creatures which deal high and constant damage and that can cover the entire screen (like Uranus + Thunderbird).

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow[]

Lilith in this game will hide in the floor until the player moves close, at which point they will emerge and extend an arm in a taunting/inviting gesture as they levitate above the ground. Once the player is close enough, the Lilith will attempt to strike with a dashing punch. Unlike other games, the Lilith appears in Aria of Sorrow without membranes on the wings, leaving only the bony digits and rendering them incapable for flight, and they are depicted wholly nude instead of being clothed unlike most other depictions.

One particular room in The Arena has a bathtub with a floating rubber duck toy in it which is occupied by a Lilith and a Succubus, a stronger variant with grayed hair and wing digits who is only otherwise encountered on the Top Floor and the Chaotic Realm.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin[]

Since Liliths have the ability to curse the player, they can be used to complete Wind's "Overcome the Curse" quest. A Lilith appears in one of the rooms below the portrait that leads to the Nation of Fools, along with a conveniently placed Warp Point nearby. The player just needs to let her curse them and then warp back to Wind's location at the Entrance to complete the quest.

Lilith may drop the Lilith Corset (DEF +17), a piece of chest gear characteristic to her that Charlotte can wear.
