Whip

From the Castlevania Wiki, the Castlevania wiki

Whip is a damage type found in Castlevania.

As the name implies, Whip is a damage type inflicted on enemies by using the Castlevania weapon of choice: The Whip.

This special lashing effect is akin to Flails, but is special since it includes some of the most notable and infamous weapons found in any, if not all, Castlevania games.

Here are some of the famous whips that appeared in the Castlevania Games:

[edit] Vampire Killer

The legendary whip wielded by the Belmont clan. Has magical properties which allow it to destroy evil. Used by most Belmonts. Special rituals are needed for those who are not of Belmont blood to use it.

[edit] Alchemy Whip

This whip used to be an ordinary whip before Rinaldo Gandolfi used the mystic, and at the time forbidden, arts of Alchemy to give it extra power. Wielded by Leon Belmont, this gave him the advantage at getting through Walter Bernhard's castle, but wasn't strong enough to do any damage to the powerful vampire. It was later, through a sacrificial ritual, that the Alchemy Whip was transformed into the now famous whip: Vampire Killer.

[edit] Hunter's Whip

A whip passed down through the Baldwin clan. Used by Nathan Graves in Circle of the Moon. Can apparently be used by anyone with a pure spirit, untainted by evil.

Other whips that are often found in Castlevania games include:
Leather Whip
Thorn Whip
Chain Whip
Morningstar (whip)
Flame Whip
Nebula
Jet Black Whip
Undead Killer
