Vampire Survivors brings players into the Castle of Dracula in the new Ode To Castlevania DLC. In this new stage, you will find a myriad of monsters and boss battles crossing over from the beloved series, and you can play as one of 20 Castlevania protagonists.

However, once you finish the final boss fight in the DLC in a specific fashion, you will gain access to several surprises, which will add significantly more fun to an already varied DLC. Here we'll tell you all about it!

Heavy spoilers for the Ode To Castlevania DLC. Read at your own risk!

How To Unlock Every Hidden Character In Ode To Castlevania

To unlock every hidden Castlevania character, you must first reach the Throne Room at the end of the map while playing as Richter Belmont. Doing so will trigger a cutscene paying homage to the famous Dracula scene of Symphony of the Night, and after unlocking Dracula as a playable character, a new fight will trigger.

After a short scene where Death strips you of all weapons, every Castlevania protagonist will come to your aid and help you defeat what seems to be the final boss of the DLC. After such an epic battle, credits will roll, and you will unlock the Black Disk, a collectible that will enable you to unlock 20 more characters from the Castlevania series.

Keep in mind that, regardless of the unlocking requirements, characters will also cost gold, and their price varies from character to character.
