In this segment Alucard finally faces off against Richter. However, thanks to the Holy Glasses Maria gave him, he sees that there's another force that's manipulating him. After destroying the orb the true force behind the events shows himself, and flees to the Inverted Castle.

Maria shows up, and Alucard tells her to take Richter and leave the castle, and he will stay behind and finish things.

Once in the inverted castle, Alucard heads to the Reverse Clock Tower, where he runs into the Darkwingt Bat. After a dispatching it, he continues on to the Reverse Outter Wall.


Ah, on to the Inverted Castle. This area is unavailable if you haven't obtained the two rings, and the Holy Glasses from Maria, because you are then forced to defeat Richter since you can't see the Orb that is being used to control him.

Once you make it to this part of the game, you will notice that the difficulty of the game gets ramped up a few notches. Everything here does a lot more damage, there's a lot more you have to worry about, and if you're not careful you can get wasted very easily.

The next segment, we will be going through the Forbidden Library.
