The Crazy Armors, also known as Armor Battlers or Mecha Knights, are mechanical knights. They often guard the Castle Keep. They first appeared in Castlevania: Bloodlines, where one armed with an axe and a lance appeared as a mid-boss. Unarmed versions that sprinted also appear as a normal enemy in this game.
The first boss in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness is a Crazy Armor armed with a jagged edged sword and an axe. When it is first destroyed, it is re-assembled and resembles a Gear Steamer, an assortment of gears held together by supernatural forces.
Appearances
Castlevania: Bloodlines
Crazy Armor, called "Drolta's Mecha Knight" or simply "Armor Battler" is the boss of the first stage in Bloodlines. It attacks with its spear and axe, and also charges or leaps around the room. As it takes damage, the Mecha-Knight will begin to lose its limbs, likely in parody of the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Several weaker Mecha-Knights appear in the final stage.
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
First Form
Try to have some sort of armor and helmet equipped and this battle will be a breeze, even if it hits you a bunch.
With the way this battle starts out you better be ready to move or block. The boss will almost instantly try to hit you with a weapon strike. It will do a mix of overhead and horizontal strikes throughout the battle (sometimes in a row). Thankfully all of its attacks can be guarded against for the first battle. Strike it after each attack and watch its arms for the next swing. With its vertical strikes it is better to guard rather than dodge them, since they clear an entire section of the room. It also has an attack in which rotating gears shoot out of its mouth, which can be easily blocked as well - it usually does this attack up close and will pause before the attack.
Second Form
Now you will have to resort to avoiding its attacks altogether. It will spew flames from each head that is connected with a gear - be sure to get away from it when it starts this attack. As the battle progresses it will start to get more flame-happy and will nearly fill the whole room with flames. It may eventually shoot fireballs, which can be easily avoided by running around or you can block them. Hit it whenever it is not attacking and you can take it down the second time even faster than the first.
