Castlevania Progression [SPOILERS]

[Spark☆]

So I wanna start this post with a heartfelt thank you to poncle, as well as Konami for allowing this majesty. The DLC is a love letter to ALL generations of Castlevania fans, which is something I didn't expect at all, given the SotN favoritism these crossovers and such tend to get. This one's no exception, with how Alucard is clearly one of the more fleshed out characters, but it still feels like everyone got a good degree of attention. And that's not to mention all the music. GOD. I was expecting covers only, so imagine my surprise when I see that we get tracks straight from the original games AND in good quality too.

... Okay, that should be enough for the thread preview. Hopefully. Now then:
I'm confused as to what I'm supposed to do, exactly. The other DLC maps have a clear sense of progression, so I'm going back and forth, confident that there's more to it than just unlocking characters and evolving weapons.
Do I just keep going until I have Richter unlocked for the Throne Room showdown people are talking about? Is he the only one who can interact with it? Cause I went there with like 3 different characters, including Alucard himself, even tested the inverse castle warp and it did nothing either. Or am I supposed to do something like beating all bosses within the 30m frame to spawn Dracula or something?

I thought you had to beat all the bosses too, before he shows up. Not so much, it seems. Just keep unlocking characters and progressing.

When you unlock Richter (pretty sure he's the last one you unlock), take him to the castle throne room.

There is...more content after taking him to the throne room

THERE's the answer I was hoping to see. Thanks, bro.
