We finally face the end of this castle - or is it? Richter Belmont doesn't seem that difficult, but maybe someone else is pulling the strings around here?

There are two possible endings - if you pay attention to Maria, or if you don't. If you don't, she seems rather depressed that you didn't listen. The other 'ending' really isn't, as we will unlock a whole new half of the game.

By the way, in my recording, the dialogs were slightly different. However, according to some wiki articles they are the same.

Boss: Richter Belmont:
Strong: Holy, Stone (immune)
Weak: Dark
Level: 48
HP: 400

Richter will also attempt to use hydrostorm and the holy cross on us, but by now we should be strong enough to not have to worry about them.
