How to Unlock Astarte in Vampire Survivors

Astarte is a powerful character in Vampire Survivors that requires a specific unlock method. This guide will walk you through the exact steps needed to unlock Astarte, including character selection, weapon management, and timing requirements.

Character Selection

To begin the unlock process, you need to select either Jonathan or Charlotte. The character duo works interchangeably for this method—you can use either Jonathan paired with Charlotte, or Charlotte paired with Jonathan. For this guide, Jonathan was used as the primary character.

Weapon Configuration

Before entering the stage, make sure to pick the weapon picker option on the skin. This is crucial for the next step of the process.

The No-Weapon Strategy

When you enter Ilmolice, do not pick any weapons during your run. This is essential—you should have zero weapons equipped as you progress through the stage.

Stage Selection: Ilmolice

Ilmolice is the ideal stage for this unlock method because it has a unique characteristic: it doesn’t have any moving enemies. This makes it purely a waiting game with no combat pressure.

Timing: The Critical 5-Minute Mark

The key to unlocking Astarte is reaching exactly 5 minutes in Ilmolice. You must survive and wait for precisely 5 minutes to trigger the unlock condition.

Important Bug Warning

There is a known bug: if you go past 5 minutes, the unlock may not trigger properly. Time your run carefully to hit exactly the 5-minute mark, then you can quit the stage.

Confirming Your Unlock

Once you’ve quit after reaching 5 minutes, return to the character selection screen. Check your available characters—Astarte should now be unlocked. Simply purchase or unlock Astarte from the character roster.

Summary

Unlocking Astarte in Vampire Survivors is straightforward if you follow these steps precisely:

Select Jonathan or Charlotte as your character

Choose the weapon picker option

Enter Ilmolice without picking any weapons

Wait exactly 5 minutes (no combat needed)

Quit at the 5-minute mark

Check your character selection to confirm Astarte is unlocked

That’s all there is to it! You now have Astarte unlocked and ready to use in Vampire Survivors.
