(19:25) Upon arriving in the Long Library, you will be just outside the Shop. Purchase a Library Card from the shop and leave, heading to the large stair section. Perform a [[Wolf Stair Jump]] followed by a Mist Transform to make it onto the ledge with the Corpseweed on it. Use your shield to destroy the room full of Flea Men and Dullahans, and beat the Lesser Demon. Proceed to the grate that is blocking your path, breaking one of the vases to collect an Onyx along the way. Transform into Mist in order to pass through the grate, and collect the Soul of Bat Relic. Once you have the Soul of Bat Relic, use your Library Card.
(21:25) It is optional, but helpful, to return to the Shop and purchase a Manna Prism, as well as a few Potions. Once you are done with the Shop, head towards the Outer Wall to leave the Long Library, then take the elevator up and proceed to the Clock Tower area(23:19) Fly across the chasm leading towards the Clock Tower. This upcoming section has lots of Harpies and Medusa Heads in a relatively small area, which can prove difficult to deal with. Before entering this area, it is a good idea to have a Stopwatch and plenty of Hearts so that you can freeze everything in the room when needed and maneuver around them. The Shield Rod spell is also effective against the Sword Lords in the next section and will help you kill Karasuman very quickly. Once Karasuman is defeated, move on to the Castle Keep area. (24:53) Once in the Castle Keep, it is a good idea to save in the nearby Save Room while you prepare to execute [[Richter Skip]]. This glitch can be very difficult to pull off at first, but you can retry indefinitely and with the nearby Save Room, you can always return to your save file at this point to practice it until you get a feel for it. Once you have confirmation that the glitch worked (you will be able to freely move the camera up and down while in the hallway leading to the Throne Room, allowing you to see clouds up above when jumping), move on to the Throne Room to activate the cutscene with Richter. Due to the glitch, you will get the cutscene associated with saving Richter, and you will be permitted to move onto the Inverted Castle after the cutscene is finished. (26:38) When you arrive in the Inverted Castle, proceed to the left and fly up until you reach the long hallway with Tombstones. These Tombstones can be tricky to deal with, but a safe strategy is to have the Shield Rod spell active, stop just before a Tombstone and wait for them to hop into you with your shield out. Make your way to the fight with Medusa and dispatch her quickly with your Shield. Continue onward to the [TODO: Finish this section] (28:57) This room of the Anti-Chapel is sometimes called the Imp Room, as it features numerous Imps and Snipers of Goth that can be particularly challenging to deal with. A reasonably safe strategy is to use your Stopwatch multiple times as you carefully fly your way upward and head toward Reverse Colosseum. (30:09) [TODO: Describe this section] (31:31) [TODO: Describe this section] (32:26) [TODO: Describe Relic Skip] (33:53) [TODO: Describe the final battle]
