How to Beat Dratcula in Cat Quest 3
To start your journey to defeat Dratcula you’ll need to find Eight Bit Castle first. It’s located in the top northwest corner of your map.
You’ll have to weave through the maze path to get there. Once you spot the castle don’t forget to blast through the front door to get inside.
Exploring Eight Bit Castle
As soon as you enter the castle you’ll notice a parrot. This little guy is there to heal you before you start your exploration. From the entrance, head right and go up the stairs at the end of the hallway. This will take you to the second floor.
On the second floor go up the stairs on your left. Be ready for a fight when you reach the third floor. A rat mini-boss and some bats will be waiting for you. After dealing with them keep climbing up to the fourth floor.
On the fourth floor, you’ll come across a painting with torches on each side. This is the “mysterious painting” that you need to interact with. Keep talking to it until you’ve gone through all the dialogue. This will unlock a new path for you to follow.
Finding Dratcula
To find the new path go back down to the second floor. This time head across to the stairs on the right and go up. You’ll encounter another rat enemy with some vampire bats. After defeating them you’ll see two sets of stairs. Take the one on the far right.
You’ll find yourself in a spooky hallway filled with skulls and bones. There’s another rat enemy here with more bat friends. Beat them and a new door will open.
Keep going up until you reach the Final Floor. Here you’ll find another friendly parrot to heal up before facing Dratcula.
Battling Dratcula
Now it’s time for the Dratcula boss fight. While it might sound intimidating it’s actually not too tough if you’re at the right level. Dratcula has a few moves up his sleeve:
- Slash: He’ll move back a bit before slashing at you. This is easy to spot and dodge.
- Fireball: Dratcula will jump and spit out 3 fireballs in front of him.
- Impalement: He’ll jump above you and try to impale you with his sword. If his health is below half he’ll follow this up with fireballs from the ground.
The best way to tackle Dratcula is to use ice spells. These can freeze him making it easier for you to attack without getting hit back.
Rewards and Finishing Up
After defeating Dratcula don’t forget to grab your rewards. There’s a chest in the room with the Bloodsucker sword. This weapon is great for tackling other tough bosses in Cat Quest 3.
Head back down to the third floor and take the left stairs up. You’ll find another chest with Dratcula’s Topper a hat that gives you a health steal ability.
Finally, go back to the mysterious painting on the second floor. Interact with it again and you’ll get the last chest containing Dratcula’s Coat which has the same ability as the hat.
With all these rewards in hand, you’ve completed the Eight Bit Castle side quest. You’ve defeated Dratcula, gained some powerful new gear, and are ready to continue your adventure in Cat Quest 3.
