Keremet is the boss of the Great Stairway in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. He is a large, liquid-like, green monster that hides inside of a cauldron.

Description[]

The boss battle against Keremet is a strange one; he hides inside a cauldron and will only emerge after it has been struck at least five times. When he comes out, Keremet will face the side of the attacker who dared strike his cauldron and attack by releasing little green blobs from his body, or by spewing out a large red orb (which somewhat resembles the Nightmare spell). Only Keremet's skull-like head is vulnerable.

The cauldron can be pushed across the floor without any penalty (having both Jonathan and Charlotte pushing it at the same time will allow them to push it faster), and properly positioning it can prove vital to a successful fight against this boss. For example, the cauldron can be pushed near to any of the platforms that are found on both edges of the room, allowing the player to climb them up once Keremet has come out and hit his head more easily. The player can also just use a Mace, or a similar weapon, stand on the very edge of the cauldron, and spam away. Keremet will only be able to hit the player very few times from there, but most of the time he can be defeated without losing any health.

Keremet will often launch smaller portions of himself during the fight at either side of his position. These green blobs will animate once they touch the ground and move back toward the cauldron. Making contact with them is harmful to the player.

If the red orb is struck, it will split into five smaller skull-like projectiles that will quickly spread downward, likely where the player is standing.

Defeated
Keremet defeated.

The fight against Keremet is quite simple. First, the player starts by pushing the cauldron near any of the platforms on either side of the room, and then securing Jonathan to the edge of the boiler while Charlotte stands at the top platform. At this point, Jonathan will keep attacking the boiler, thus allowing Keremet to come out of it. As Keremet will only face the attacker of the boiler, he will only spit red orbs in Jonathan's direction, and Charlotte can use this opportunity to release Ice Fang magic to deal damage to Keremet (pay attention to the timing of the Ice Fang release; otherwise, it will hit the red sphere, which will cause it to scatter into several skulls to deal damage to Jonathan, wasting a significant amount of MP). With this cycle, Keremet can be defeated in a short period of time.

Additionally, Keremet has a notably high SP value for that point in the game (50 SP), which allows for quick sub-weapon upgrades, so don't forget to attack Keremet with a sub-weapon you want to upgrade.
