10 Video Game Joke Items That Are Secretly One-Time Boss Killers

The world of Castlevania is as much about vampires, skeletons, and monsters as it is about the fine culinary pursuits. Despite his blood-only diet, the walls of Dracula’s castle are filled with chicken, jerky, and sometimes, a delicious cream pie.

In Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, this sweet dish acts as one of the sub weapons of Jonathan Morris. The pie deals minimal damage and doesn’t travel very far, making it more of a joke item than anything else.

Still, thanks to its one secret property, there is an instance in which it can completely obliterate one of the game’s bosses.

Despite its near nonexistent damage output, the pie is one of the rare weapons in the game that deals Dark damage, which the Portrait of Ruin’s boss, the Whip’s Memory, is weak against.

The vulnerability combined with the fact that the pie can stun the boss for a considerable amount of time makes this creamy tart, funnily enough, the best and most effective weapon against Whip’s Memory, capable of defeating him in just a few seconds.

Don’t let anyone tell you not to bring a cream pie to a whip fight!
