Alright, progress! I'm now on to dying a lot in the clock tower. The fleamen have learned to climb walls.

while I love the design of this game, it's just a tad too difficult to be 'enjoyable' imo

Finished! The game's one act of mercy was to make Dracula's chamber a continue point. I was all set to be replaying the clock tower endlessly.
Once you get the hang of Drac's first form it's fairly mechanical. On the second form I used the same holy water method as abanana. I'll try it with the cross too.
This game was a blast. Definitely a new favourite.

finally beat Grim Reaper, shout out to Mikeyspike200 for describing how to beat him with holy water, getting totally crushed in the next level

I tried a single credit run just now and made it as far as the reaper. I could have beaten him too dammit.

It's strange that there hasn't been a new game in the Castlevania franchise since 2014. You'd think what with the popularity of the Netflix show, and things like Bloodborne/Lies Of P, there'd be scope to do something quite ambitious, possibly like an open world RPG but in the Western anime style of the show. I'd play it
