Introduction

This blog is for the various different feats in Castlevania that I'll be calculating, as I now just put all my calculations for one verse into one blog to make them far easier to find.

Golem Shoots a massive energy blast

Golem's ultimate attack shoots out a massive blast that vaporizes the ground, we get a decent enough height scale for him, so.

Calculation

Ok so I initially used Golem's height and tried to scale it in comparison to the blast, but after re-looking at the scene, this is far too much of a lowball, the blast objectively goes out as far as one can see. So instead I'll be ignoring the distance of the blast in this measurement and only measure the width of the blast in comparison to Golem.

Without obstructions, one can see about 3 miles or 4.8 kilometers into the distance from ground level.

Golem is 300 cm.

He's kneeling over during the attack, so the screen actually does cover most of his body.

Golem is 220 px and the width length is 145 px.

Making it 197.7272727272727 cm.

So because this is very clearly cylindrical, I need to use this formula: 𝑉 = 𝜋 × (radius)² × length

V = 𝜋 * (98.86363636363636 cm)² * (482,803 cm)

V = 1.48249416828261790231e10 cc

Now Golem can do this at any stage, the stages are listed here: https://www.castlevaniacrypt.com/jud-stages/

A lot of these stages use concrete structures, so let's go with that.

Density of concrete is 2.4 g/cm^3.

1.48249416828261790231e10 cm³ * 2.4 g/cm³ = 3.557986003878283e10 g or 3.5579860038782828e7 kg

Concrete's specific heat capacity is 880 J/kg°C.

Concrete's melting point = 1500 °C.

Q = m*c*ΔΤ

Q = (3.5579860038782828e7 kg) * (880J/kg°C) * (1500°C)

Q = 4.6965415251193333e13 J or 11.22500364512269222 Kilotons of TNT, Town level.

Who does this scale to?
Seeing as Golem is a character from Judgement, this is an interesting question indeed. The thing is, this is a boss enemy that makes a repeated appearance in Castlevania games. So one could theoretically say all of them scale, however most of the golems from what I remember, cannot shoot an energy beam from their mouth like this golem can. Some of them do have fire beams so I will assume that it's just a golem with that + he was killed by a random unknown hunter.

Also it would be really weird for Dark Lords, who are considered the most powerful versions of the Creatures of the Night to be that much weaker then Golem. To be safe though I will add an "At most" as the animation that plays when your health is too low against this attack is you getting vaporized.
