** At the end, the enormous battle between [[spoiler: every Department member in the world and Dracula's army at Chateau Dauncy]].
** How the battle starts in the first place: [[spoiler: General Allen drops a [[StuffBlowingUp bunker buster]] straight into the Chateau, blowing the walls out and almost killing Dracula then and there. It's enough to briefly terrify the first vampire and earn a modicum of his respect.]]
** The moment when [[spoiler: Frankenstein, fully transformed into a werewolf,]] is unleashed. [[spoiler: If the bunker buster wasn't enough of an OhCrap moment for Dracula's army...]]
** Jamie finally getting to [[spoiler: plunge a stake into Valeri's heart after three books of the eldest Rusmanov being a KarmaHoudini.]]

** The directors of the worldwide Departments, many of whom are Badass Grandpas, [[spoiler: forgoing their own safety to pick up weapons again and charge into battle with their men.

** Angela Darcy escaping [[spoiler: her crucifixion in the Basilica and ripping [[TortureTechnician Emery's]] throat out.]]
** After getting [[spoiler: [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice fatally run through]] by Dracula's broadsword]], Frankenstein manages to [[spoiler: pull himself along the blade with his last breaths and [[EyeScream gouge one of Dracula's eyes out with his thumb]] before succumbing]].
** Jamie's final confrontation with Dracula: [[spoiler: after watching all of his allies get taken out and being brutalized by the first vampire, he crawls toward Frankenstein's body and manages to grab hold of a wooden crucifix. When Dracula taunts him for believing superstitions and moves to finish him off, Jamie [[ImpromptuTracheotomy buries it in his throat]] and uses his blood to recover. Dracula is then shot multiple times by the recovered Larissa and [[KarmicDeath stabbed in the heart with his own sword]] after being made to fear Jamie. As if that weren't enough, the mysterious EldritchAbomination Dracula absorbed into his body to become the first vampire resurfaces and slowly, brutally [[DraggedOffToHell drags Dracula down into god-knows-where as he screams and thrashes]] before vanishing completely.]]
