Learn how to defeat Richter Belmont in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. Sub-weapons and magic are useless against this challenging boss.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Save your game before entering the boss fight in the upper left area of the Royal Keep.
  2. 2
    Understand that sub-weapons and magic spells are ineffective against Richter; he will either dodge them or use a charge attack.
  3. 3
    Be aware of Richter's long-range whip attack and his own sub-weapon usage. Getting close to attack will result in him hitting you multiple times.
  4. 4
    This fight is a battle of wits and anticipation, similar to the Doppleganger fight, rather than a pattern-based encounter.
  5. 5
    When Richter reaches half health, he will use his ultimate attacks, including Hydro Storm, which fills the entire room.
  6. 6
    To avoid damage from Hydro Storm and other ultimate attacks, transform into mist form.
  7. 7
    After reaching half health, Richter will regularly use his ultimate attacks without provocation.
  8. 8
    His normal whip attack becomes a flaming Vampire Killer, dealing more damage.
  9. 9
    When you jump over him or are descending from a jump, he will use his axe sub-weapon.
Tips
  • Transforming into mist form is crucial for avoiding Richter's powerful ultimate attacks, especially Hydro Storm.
  • Focus on anticipating Richter's moves rather than relying on sub-weapons or magic.
  • The fight is designed to test your ability to react and adapt to his attacks.
