History Awesome / CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow

** An especially awesome moment happens when the player has nearly defeated him and he retreats behind his magical shields for the second time: Satan is shocked that a mere man can fight him and asks with [[HorrifyingTheHorror fear]] and [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter awe]], "Is this the power of [[GodIsGood God]]?"

* Gabriel becoming Dracula is another one in the lore detail, it is said that Vampires need to spend several centuries as the quasi bat-like form before they can take human form again. Gabriel outright skips that step; taking the power of a ancient hell god probably helped speed things along.

'''Remember: moments pages are Spoilers Off.'''

* The battle in the castle refectory, against the grotesque cook known as the Evil Butcher. He looks like the gluttonous brother of Nemesis and will hurl all manner of fillet knives and cleavers at you from his magnetic racks. Chew on fabled "pork chops" (probably a beef or even a human thigh drumstick) to restore his health. And even drink down a purple potion from his cauldron that makes him invincible to all non-aerial attacks before using it as a... [[{Pun]] pot helm]]!

* The battle in the castle refectory, against the grotesque cook known as the Evil Butcher.

* Each of the 3 Lords of Shadow had their own nightmarish offscreen moments of awesome:
** Cornell, Lord of the Lycans and his kind overthrew a nation that had psychic powers and Magitek Golems, some the size of ''skyscrapers'' with apparent ease.
** Carmilla took over the Castle Bernhardt and somehow managed to convince 2 actual demons to join her and ''vampirized'' them, along with her one EvenEvilHasStandards moment, this creature of pure darkness and evil was disgusted with the experiments Friedrich von Frankenstein was doing, and so tortured him to death (we think).

* Gabriel becoming Dracula is another one in the lore detail, it is said that Vampires need to spend several centuries as the quasi-batlike form before they can take human form again. Gabriel outright skips that step; taking the power of a ancient hellgod probably helped speed things along.

* Almost all of the boss's QTE finishers have Gabriel [[CurbStompBattle curb stomp]] them. The first being a swamp troll who looks to be twice as strong as your average silverback gorilla. Gabriel grabs the boy by his slimy furred lapels, pulls back and gives him the mother of all ''Glasgow Kisses''! Followed up with a knee uppercut, before jamming the spiked arms of the cross into the monster's mouth and ripping back and away at the soft pallet in one almighty jerk back; either pulverizing the beast's brains or eliciting a NeckSnap.

** The Lord of the Dead Zobek took a lush and verdant land and turned it into a walking wasteland, so powerful he made a undead Leviathan, but his biggest accomplishment was to actually somehow ''cut Heaven off from the world'' trapping the innocent souls on earth, something that Satan himself needed the Lords help/brainwashing to do.

* Cornell boasts of his immortality... Gabriel shows him who the true warrior is. The Lycan Lord activates his [[OneWingedAngel true form]]. Belmont proceeds to wreck the brute with both the Dark Gauntlet's tremor punches and the Combat Cross's chain strikes to keep him off balance and destroy all of his power totems, thus rendering him vulnerable once more. The Lord of Shadow tries to up the ante with agility but Gabriel pulls him back to earth with the grapple and spiked-chain upgrades in a show-case display of morning-star entrapment and control. Yanking the massive bastard off his feet multiple times. The finale is capped with Gabriel retrieving Cornell's massive fuck off war-hammer with the aid of the Dark Gauntlet then proceeding to beat the archfiend around the ears with it until the head snaps off due to a godly flying double overhead blow. Before driving the jagged broken haft up into his mouth, through his brain and clean out the other side. A PhysicalGod who annihilated the greatest nation since Atlantis [[CatharsisFactor lies crushed at your feet]].

* Saving Wygol Village from the arch-demon Brauner and his vampire raiding party with your new holy water grenades.

* Gabriel versus Carmilla. Although not as difficult as Cornell, it ups the spectacle by a country mile, taking place atop the tallest spires of Bernhard Castle, with the Vampire Queen ripping up the arena with bolts of lightning from her fingertips; leaving you less and less room to manoeuvrer away from her unblockable moveset.

* Each of the 3 Lords of Shadow, had their own nightmarish offscreen moments of awesome:
