* Nikolai's duel with [[MasterSwordsman Caius Zacharovich]]. After winning every fight he got into thus far by, shall we say, [[CombatPragmatist using his wits]], Nikolai runs into the one opponent who is so skilled that no amount of cheating comes even close to levelling the playing field. Zacharovich even takes some time off from kicking Nikolai's ass to give him some advice on swordfighting which our hero [[TookALevelInBadass duly takes to heart]]; for the remainder of the series, no other opponent, save for Caius' protégé Jena Makarov, comes even close to besting Nikolai Dante in a straight-up swordfight.

* Dante's solution to both Konstantin Romanov and the bankruptcy of the empire is to empty what remains of the Imperial accounts and bet it all on himself in a duel with Konstantin, which he wins by disabling Konstantin's Weapons Crest, beating the shit out of him, and then shooting him in the back with the Huntsman.

* Nikolai stabbing Konstantin InTheBack as the ''Potemkin'' goes down over St. Petersburg, taking out the Tsar's sculpture of his own face. Granted, he survives, but to get the drop on a man who is a literal walking nuke is incredibly impressive.
