Sure, it's doable, but if the bats don't get you by knocking you off the bridge, the freaking fleamen will just before Dracula. I can't stand that last stage lol

Oh, the fleamen are terrible. I finally found a technique I like for that segment, though, it's not perfectly consistent but it's better than I have been doing. Just have to make sure you can tank a few hits - all that matters is reaching Drac.

Well, there is a holy water in his room, although trying to get a double/triple shot out of that fight can be tricky. I find a single is good enough to keep him in place long enough to get a couple of shots in before I have to move. I basically just need to get to his final form with a hit to spare and I'm generally golden.
Honestly, getting a triple-shot boomerang probably isn't a bad move, either. And that's easier to build up even in that fight.

I basically need at least a double icon to drop to beat the cookie monster with the holy water (and only with the holy water lol)

I bet you could do it without the double - that's how I won last night. Freeze him, get a couple of hits, then try to set up the next holy water shot on his jump. The extra hit is key if you get corner trapped, which invariably will happen. But once you get out of the corner, you've got a lot of room to play with. Of course, RNG will often rear its ugly head with his fireballs, so it's perhaps not quite so cut and dried.

Yeah, it's probably doable, I just kept getting hit by him and would die as his health was dwindling. With the double I could freeze him in place much easier, and basically when that double icon dropped, I won, it was that stark a difference.

Oh, definitely the double makes it absolutely sure. He basically never leaves stunlock.
Also, triple shot holy water for Death. I've beaten him without cheesing, but it's tough!

I've never found Death himself too difficult to be honest - though I need full health if I don't have triple shot holy water lol. The problem there is getting to him with full health - there's meat in a candle just before him, but two rooms before him has some pretty annoying stuff to deal with so it can be difficult to not get hit there, and the axe knights take too many freaking hits to kill, all while Medusa heads fly around. If I can get to Death with full health, I can usually beat him, because you can sort of control where the scythes spawn and go, so unless you're unlucky where Death himself moves to, he's not too bad, even without holy water (again, if you're at full health). I really like that fight haha

I'm sure I'd be a lot better at it now, but it sure is less stressful to just cheese it, haha. And the holy water makes the axe knight hallway a lot easier for sure. Although when I was younger I really had that rhythm down for fighting them while avoiding the Medusa heads.
