Richter Dracula	Castlevania: Symphony of the Night / Final Stage: Bloodlines / Final Stage: Bloodlines [edit] When: First starting the Game Summary: Richter reaches Dracula's throne room at the end of the events of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. The two of them banter, with Richter telling Dracula that he doesn't belong in this world, and Dracula responding that it was humans who brought him there in the first place. They debate about human nature and faith. Dracula is enraged by Richter's argument and throws his wine glass on the floor, which signals the beginning of their battle. version (original) - [transcript]: Richter: Die monster. You don't belong in this world! Dracula: It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was called here by humans who wish to pay me tribute. Richter: Tribute!?! You steal men's souls and make them your slaves! Dracula: Perhaps the same could be said of all religions... Richter: Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a savior such as you! Dracula: What is a man? (throws his wine glass to the floor) A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk... Have at you! version (new) - [transcript][video]: (Richter rushes to Dracula's Throne Room and points straight at him) Richter: Dracula. Die now, and leave this world! You'll never belong here! Dracula: Oh, but this world invited me. Your own kind called me forth with praise and tribute. Richter: Tribute? You're a thief. You steal men's souls, their freedom... Dracula: Freedom is always sacrificed to faith, good hunter. Or are you truly here by choice? Richter: All I'm here for is you. To hell with your heresy! You're nothing but a blight on mankind. Dracula: Ha! Mankind. (throws the wine glass) A cesspit of hatred and lies. Fight for them, then, and die for their sins! (Dracula teleports and enters the battle stance) version (Japanese text) - [transcript][video]: Richter Belmont: 滅びよ! ここは、お前の住む世界ではない。 Dracula Vlad Țepeș: 私は自らの力で蘇るのではない。欲深な人間共によって蘇るのだ。力が唯一の正義なのだからな。 Richter Belmont: それはお前の勝手な言い草だ! 人々は同じ信念のもとで求め合い、集い、そして歩んで行く。 Dracula Vlad Țepeș: だが、現に人間共は欲望によって発展し、信仰によって統率されてきたではないか。 Richter Belmont: 人間は力だけでは統率できない。敬い、慈しむ心があるからこそ統率が出来るのだ。 Dracula Vlad Țepeș: くだらん。どちらが正しいか、死をもって解らせてやる。 PlayStation: PSP: version (fan translated) - [transcript][video]: (Richter rushes to Dracula's Throne Room and points straight at him) Richter Belmont: Death to you! The world is not yours to exist in! Dracula Vlad Țepeș: It is not by my own power that I am resurrected. It is the greedy humans who call me back. For might is the one and only justice in this world. Richter Belmont: Of all the self-serving claptrap! The same basic faith drives all people to seek, to come together, to move forward. Dracula Vlad Țepeș: However, is it not true that greed has driven the humans' development and that faith has led them? Richter Belmont: People cannot be ruled by power alone. The honorable, the loved can truly rule humanity! Dracula Vlad Țepeș: Foolish drivel. (throws the wine glass) I shall prove to you which one of us is right...with death! (Dracula teleports and enters the battle stance) (dialogue at 2:53)

Items

Richter is able to collect Small Hearts and Large Hearts. Most items that Alucard could collect are replaced with Small Hearts that can be repeatedly collected. Life Vessels restore all life and does increase life capacity, although it is not readily apparent from the health bar on the side of the screen that it did so. Heart Vessels increase Hearts by 30, but does not increase Heart capacity. Gold can be collected, but has no effect, as the Master Librarian ignores Richter.

Trivia

• As a boss, Richter's movement is similar to him as playable character.
  1. He will start the battle with his Grand Cross (Cross 40 ATT, Holy, and Light 30 ATT, Holy). The former portion of the attack covers virtually the entirety of the left side of the screen, while the latter portion covers the whole screen. Only through using a Gold Circlet, the Form of Mist, or entering invincibility frames can he avoid being damaged in some way.
  2. He will attack using the Vampire Killer (35 ATT, Holy). During the second half of battle, the whip is enveloped in flames (60 ATT, Holy + Flame)
  3. He will throw the Cross (35 ATT, Holy) towards Alurard.
  4. He will slide towards Alucard (35 ATT, Hit).
  5. He will do jump slide (35 ATT, Hit) towards Alucard followed by blade attack (55 ATT, Hit).
  6. He will throw his Axe (40 ATT, Cut + Holy) toward Alucard. This happens if Alucard jumps or flies over him.
  7. He will begin the second half of his battle with the Holy water's item crash (35 ATT, Holy + Fire). This attack covers the whole screen. Only through using a Gold Circlet, the Form of Mist, or entering invincibility frames can Alucard surely avoid damage.
  8. He will use Axe crash (40 ATT, Cut + Holy). This will happen if Alucard uses any spell.
  9. He will use Agunea crash (40 ATT, Holy). This happens if he is cornered in the second half.
• If both Richter and Shaft are defeated at the same time, Alucard will keep going to the Reverse Castle. However, if the fight ends in this manner, the throne room of the normal castle will suffer from a glitch. Should Alucard ever return to the throne room in said castle, he will find himself fighting against Richter again. The battle proceeds as normal, save for the fact that once either Richter or Shaft are defeated, the scripted dialogue doesn't take place. Because of this, Alucard can never be free to leave the room by normal means. This essentially means that without a Library Card, he will be stuck in the throne room, unable to foil Shaft's plans.
