 Stand under the red overhang just outside of the hallway with spikes. Hold DASH and LEFT and wait. If you started from the correct position, Alucard will load into the spike hallway (you will very likely take damage from the spikes), and then very quickly load back into the previous room, but now you will be further to the right and can walk off a ledge into a void. At this point, use your Leap Stone and Gravity Boots to chain Gravity Boot specials and ascend far up and slightly to the right. Eventually, you will reach the underside of a room and you want to be aiming for the black void just to the right of the stone walls. If you get the right position, you will clip back in-bounds inside the room just outside of the room with the Spectral Sword in it.
