How do I get into the Inverse Castle?
I have been to 781 rooms. Unexplored to me is a spiky area in the chapel blocked by a magic door which I can't open in either bat or mist form, and a one-way wooden panel in the caves with some nice powerups in it which leads from an unexplored room.
I can get the bad ending whenever I want by battling Richter but I feel I need to get Maria to smack some sense into him. I have tried using the gold ring and clock in various rooms, including in the clock room, and I tried various things in the Doppelganger room since its door has a design I recognize from Harmony of Dissonance.
What am I missing?
Best Answer
You need beat Richter in Dracula's Throne Room (where Richter fought him at the start) by
beating Shaft.
To do this you first need to find two Rings
- The Silver Ring found in the Royal Chapel
- The Gold Ring found in the Underground Caverns guarded by a Succubus
with these you need to return to the Marble Gallery where you first met Maria with the 2 rings equipped
^ (the room Maria is first encounter)
you will meet Maria inside who will give you a pair of Holy Glasses which when equipped when fighting Ritcher you will see something else in the room, attack this and not Ritcher.
after the fight you will automatically find yourself in the Inverse Castle.
