Overview[]
After being knocked off into the pit in the Great Hall, Richter now finds himself lost in a subterranean complex of caverns. The area is comprised for the most part of large ponds of bubbling mud from where infinite hordes of Mud Men emerge. The mud itself is harmless, but Richter's mobility will be greatly reduced if he steps on it, while he slowly starts to sink in. If he is not able to keep himself on the surface, the mud will eventually swallow him completely and drown him.
Skeletons will be constantly jumping over most platforms and swarms of Bats will be found perched on the ceilings throughout the whole level. The area is pretty much straightforward, however, with no notable changes on the scenery, just some rotating platforms that will send Richter down into extensive ponds of mud below.
Halfway through the stage, a Giant Skeleton will attempt to hinder Richter's path. Some graves will start to become visible in the background too as he keeps on advancing further into the caverns.
After traversing more ponds of mud, Richter will eventually arrive to the boss room, a secluded cave with many tombstones in the background where Ghost, a necromancer resembling Shaft Ghost from Rondo of Blood, will conjure diverse spells and summon Skeletons to do battle with him.
