Geography[]
The Reverse Keep is first area of the Reverse Castle entered and is first reached through a teleporter in the Castle Keep section of the normal castle upon defeating Shaft's orb that controls Richter. It is connected to the Reverse Clock Tower to the left and the Anti-Chapel to the right.

The Heart of Vlad is guarded by Medusa in the Anti-Chapel, the Ring of Vlad is guarded by Darkwing Bat in the Reverse Clock Tower, the Tooth of Vlad is guarded by The Creature in the Reverse Outer Wall, the Eye of Vlad is obtained from Death in the Cave, and the Rib of Vlad is guarded by Akmodan II in Death Wing's Lair.
