Major glitches are not allowed in the Glitchless categories. All major glitches are allowed in the [[SOTN_Alucard_Any%25_NSC|Any% NSC ]] category with the sole exception of Save Corruption, detailed in its own section below.

There are two methods of performing Richter Skip, one method using Wolf form, and another method using Bat form. Both methods are detailed below. The Wolf Method is part of the [[SOTN_Alucard_Any%25_NSC#Standard_Route|Standard Route for the Any% NSC]] category. The Bat Method can be easier or more reliable for some players, but is slower to execute. The goal for both methods is to be able to unlock the camera in the area just outside of the Throne Room. Doing so will trigger a glitch when you try to enter the Throne Room, causing you to bypass the fight with Richter altogether and triggering the cutscene that plays just before you enter the Inverted Castle. === Wolf Method Richter Skip === {{#ev:youtube|ScSMNM9hHVg|480}} The Wolf method of Richter Skip involves using a very precise jump at the top of the stairs while in Wolf form to jump over an invisible area that would normally trigger the camera to lock on to the hallway leading to the Throne Room. [[File:SOTNRichterSkipWolfPosition.png | 280px]] In order to execute this jump, you need to be positioned at the top of the stairs in Wolf form, ... [[File:SOTNRichterSkipVisualConfirmation.png | 280px]] ... allowing you to see clouds in an area of the ceiling that would ordinally be off-screen. This is your visual cue that the trick worked, and you can proceed onto the Throne Room to skip the fight with Richter. TODO: Finish describing Wolf Method of Richter Skip === Bat Method Richter Skip === TODO: Describe Bat Method of Richter Skip
