- "Defeat a boss without receiving damage to earn this mark of valor. Merely decorative, unfortunately."
- — Term List description
Boss Medals are special collectible items in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. They are medals awarded to the player as a proof of valor for defeating a boss without getting hit.
Description[]
Defeating a boss without getting hit once earns the player certain medals as proof of their valor. These medals will mostly appear in a blue chest which spawns after beating the boss. Unfortunately, they're nothing more than a decoration, although they do give a small description of the boss they refer to.
In the case of the Dracula Medal, the chest will spawn in front of the boss room after loading the post-clear save file, along with Dracula shouting "Impossible!".
The player cannot get these in Albus Mode, since there is no menu in most alternate modes in the Castlevania series, including Order of Ecclesia.
Strategy[]
It is recommended to equip one or two Death Rings when entering the boss room, as a single hit will prevent Shanoa from earning the Medal. Do not forget to unequip them when leaving the room, specially if there are enemies or Environmental hazards on the way to the next Save Room.
Guarding with Arma Machina is allowed, as well as defending projectile with a Scutum Glyph.
Only getting hit by the boss will prevent Shanoa from earning a boss medal, taking damage by the use of the Dominus Glyphs will not prevent it and are a valid strategy for it.
Except for Brachyura and Eligor, which are bosses with multiple stages, the Universitas Glyph Union, especially when combined with Sapiens Fio or Dominus Agony, make quick work of most bosses, sometimes without letting the boss attack even once.
If playing the Dominus Collection version, the rewind function can be used if Shanoa is hit to a time before it happens.
