## **Encounter**

Actions:  "Show me the way."
We entered the gates of a luxurious estate. "This is where you'll meet your end, my dear. You got yourself an audience with Count Dracula. Unfortunately for you, as a snack."

"Stop, stop, stop! Forgive my bride-she's young and has a flair for the dramatic. Come with me to my garden, and I'll explain everything to you."
Actions: Follow the man
"You see, I really am Count Dracula, and I'm settled in this wonderful house with my beautiful brides. And I won't deny that we do indeed kill occasional travelers who pass by our home."
You: "Why are you telling me this?"
"You know, when you've been alive for hundreds of years, the usual raucous speeches and saber-rattling start to wear thin. Why don't we behave like gentleman instead?"
You: "In what sense?"
"We're holding a soirée. Eat, drink, make merry. And once you've had your fill, come back to me and we'll cordially... put an end to... well, you get my drift."
You: "Deal."
The garden is decked out with tables full of food and drink. There's a string quartet playing on a stage, surrounded by soft sofas.
* Try the food - *The waiter served me a dish and said: "Perch au naturel-a true delicacy. Bon appétit!"*  +66

* Listen to music on the sofa - *I settled down on the sofa and almost dozed off as I listened to the quartet.  +66*

"Well then, my dear guest, I hope you enjoyed your stay. Now, let's get started..."

## **Strategy**

Strategy explained here will be based on the stats of high-leveled players and may not be applicable for low-to-mid leveled players.

There are no pre-requisite items when fighting against the Count, just bring your best selection of weapons preferably any type of high-caliber machine guns and sniper such as PKM, DP-27, SVD or Sipuha. To maximise utmost battle efficiency, any Food buffs and Perks that provides preservation and replenishment of *Action Points* is necessary. Make sure bring along companion Pets with you as well.

*Brides of Dracula* has a huge health pool so using a Polar Armor should be the first option to equip as it offers maximum damage based on missing health. You can instantly eliminate any bride if the right perks are selected. Count Dracula has two forms. Avoid eliminating the first form of the Count and if possible focus on removing all the brides. The brides, upon defeat will transform into its *Bat* form. Defeat the bat at all costs because once it reaches the *Throne*, it will transform back to its original *Bride* form.

The first form of Dracula can only heal its brides, sacrificing 135 of its health if they are wounded or activate the blood fountain. The blood fountain once activated, heals nearby brides and damages the character for 1 Tile.

If the Count dies, it will enter its second form with a lot more HP, armor, and attack damage. However, the Count can only attack in close-quarters and will heal himself if the attack hits for a percentage of that damage. This fight should not give any suspense at all as it is straight-forward in its own way and a lot more easier compared to previous hunting contracts offered by the *Reaper.*
