How to Unlock Charlotte & Jonathan in Vampire Survivors

Looking to add Charlotte and Jonathan to your Vampire Survivors roster? This guide walks you through the exact steps needed to unlock these characters. The process involves reaching the Castlevania stage, obtaining a specific weapon evolution, and defeating a particular boss using an instant-kill mechanic. Follow along to get both characters unlocked in no time.

Requirements & Setup

To unlock Charlotte and Jonathan, you’ll need to access the Castlevania stage. Once there, your goal is to obtain the Sanctuary weapon, which is the evolved version of Reflectio.

Locating the Treasure Chest

Before summoning the bosses, identify the treasure chest in the stage. This chest is crucial because you’ll use it to position the enemies for the instant-kill setup. Save the evolution chest location in your mind—you’ll return here soon.

Summoning Stella & Loreta

Next, summon the Stella and Loreta boss encounter. Once they appear in the stage, your next step is to lure them toward the treasure chest you identified earlier.

The Instant-Kill Strategy

The key to defeating Stella and Loreta efficiently is using Sanctuary’s instant-kill ability. Here’s how:

1. Lure both bosses into range of the treasure chest
2. Once they’re positioned close to the chest, evolve Reflectio into Sanctuary
3. This evolution will automatically proc the instant-kill effect, instantly defeating both bosses

Claiming Your Characters

After successfully defeating Stella and Loreta using the Sanctuary instant-kill, you can quit the stage immediately. There’s no need to complete the full run—the boss defeat is all you need.

Return to the character selection screen and you’ll see Charlotte and Jonathan are now available. Simply purchase them to add them to your collection. Note: Do not lock them—just buy them outright.

Summary

Unlocking Charlotte and Jonathan in Vampire Survivors is straightforward once you know the method. Head to Castlevania, obtain the Sanctuary weapon (Reflectio’s evolution), use it to instant-kill Stella and Loreta, then purchase the characters from your character select screen. This efficient strategy lets you unlock both characters without needing to survive extended runs.
