That Richiter is a bit ACE with his whip, no? I mean, I killed Death on just my second attempt – and I was only on Level 13!
I then killed Stella and Loretta, although they were a bit more difficult (two hits from pretty much any attack and you’re dead), so I levelled up to 20 and tried again. Once dead, I found that I do need to do some paintings after all – the way to Dracula is blocked, and I can’t get into Brauner’s painting yet.
