Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin is the 2nd installment of the Castlevania video game series for the Nintendo DS. Released in 2006, this installment follows protagonists Jonathan Morris and his childhood friend Charlotte Aulin, who set out to Dracula's Castle and defeat Dracula once again. Like the title implies, the game features portraits that contain worlds inside. Instead of the typical castle setting from the past 20 years, players can explore locales such as a forest, circus, Egyptian desert, and more.

Astarte
Astarte, based on her namesake and Cleopatra, is the boss of Sandy Graves. Like her inspirational counterparts, Astarte has the power to seduce men to her will, including Jonathan. If he is hit by Astarte's Temptation attack, he will be seduced and fight alongside her. The player can defeat them both, but they are expected to lose the fight as Astarte is resistant to magic.

One feature introduced in Portrait of Ruin is talking to your partner. Besides providing tips to the player, there is special dialogue when certain cases are met, some of which is included for this boss fight.
