Dracula Tips

Before you fight Dracula, make sure Trevor has an axe and a LONG whip.
When you fight Drac, have Trevor back up a few spaces to get some room to
attack Dracula. Walk near the flame next to Drac, jump and whip him twice, then watch his hands. When his raises his hand RUSH RIGHT to dodge the
flame. Repeat until Dracula's first fake Drac is dead. If Drac forces you
to attack in a tight corner when Drac's energy is low, just jump and whip
him repeatedly until he's dead.

Once the second fake Dracula arises, whip the lower two faces repeatedly until
they're killed. Then go for the middle and the last two heads. Once this fake is dead prepare to meet the REAL Dracula and run to the fourth brick
on the right.

On this brick dodge the shot Drac fires at you(NEVER jump over them! Just rush to the right, then back to the fourth brick. If at anytime
there's a platform above you wait for it go by and just dodge another shot from Drac.) When you have a free shot, jump up and aim Trevor's axe at the
head Of Dracula. Repeat until he's dead for good! Then get ready for the
SECOND Quest!
