Okay, first off: Finish up the reverse entrance. Starting with the gate area, since that's closest right now.
This is unfortunately not what it claims to be... as should be obvious from the fact that I'm dual-wielding the real Crissaegrim right now.
In the room below the upside-down equivalent of the room Death mugged me in at the beginning. Not useful in the least.
And this in the room above the Gallery shortcut. Still useless.
Meh, not bad, but I've got better stat-wise, and its effect is obviously some kind of elemental resistance since "completely invincible" is probably not a thing you can do in Castlevania.
Fruit's not so bad, is it?
...Meh.
The middle room in the elevator shaft (which is now devoid of elevators and infested with Imps) has a throwable.
A Lesser Demon dropped the Shield Rod- one of the few things that could potentially be considered a sidegrade to Crissaegrim.
Turns out that, yes, the Herald Shield is, indeed, the Alucard Shield. I'm only doing the Shield Rod Spell as a demonstration, though; I'll probably be sticking with my Crissaegrims instead.
The room I needed to super-jump to in the first castle... is worthless.
The secret rooms in the next shaft are... unimpressive.
I forgot those traps showed up outside the Black Gallery... Only including this to give you a better view of them, though.
Pay no attention to the Bitterfly (the flying transparent thing in the wall up there); it's irrelevant to me.
Vendor trash to the bottom left of that room.
And bottom right eventually leads to the boss room, with Beezelbub (sic) hanging on a bunch of meat hooks. No, he does not fit on-screen.
Two HP boosts for one boss fight? ...Fair enough, I guess; I mean, when there's pretty much exactly one item left in the entire game that's useful to you in any way, it'll obviously be hard to find it.
My commentary on the item drops is devolving into a series of proclamations of uselessness, isn't it?
Anyway, this way just leads to the Gallery, which I'm trying to save until I get the last Relic I need ("trying" because I don't know if it's possible for it to be there; hate it when randomizers do that), so I'll head to the Reverse Chapel next.
Just screenshotting this to show it's there.
Lots of items in the upside-down staircase at the start of the area, just like the other version.
The Lightning Mail is just a drop from one of the Snipers of Goth infesting this place.
More stuff to not care about. The second one, in case you can't read it, is a HP boost (and also a glimpse of the Snipers of Goth I just mentioned).
And a second Heart Max to finish out the room.
Well, the reversed spike hallway leads to... renamed Axe Lord Armor, apparently. Huh. Kinda jarring considering how I've got actual Axe Lord Armor too, right next to it.
Anyway, after switching out my now-unneeded Spike Breaker for some Fury Plate/Alucard Mail, I drop down to the bottom of the tower (still upside-down, remember) for some stuff.
Yet another weapon in the second tower.
Medusa (not to be confused with Medusa Heads, which, in other entries in the series, are shown to basically be her dandruff) is the local boss. She is, as expected, easy with Double Crissaegrim.
She drops the Faerie Card.
Pick up the items from the third tower...
...before saving. Next is the... whatever the Colosseum equivalent is here, since I've gone full-circle now and am right next to where I entered the Reverse Castle (and thus there's nothing left to check by following this path).
