How to Unlock Eric in Vampire Survivors

Eric is a valuable character in Vampire Survivors that requires a specific weapon evolution to unlock. This guide walks you through the exact steps needed to obtain Eric, including which character to play, which weapons to upgrade, and how to trigger the evolution that unlocks this character.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have access to Jonathan as a playable character. You’ll be using Jonathan’s starting weapon throughout this unlock process.

Step-by-Step Unlock Process

1. Select Jonathan as Your Character

Start a new run by selecting Jonathan. You’ll be using his default weapon loadout to progress through this unlock.

2. Upgrade the Javelin to Maximum Level

Jonathan’s starting weapon is the Javelin. Your first task is to max level this weapon. Focus on collecting weapon upgrade drops throughout your run until the Javelin reaches its maximum level.

3. Equip and Max Level the Spell Binder

In addition to the Javelin, you’ll need to equip the Spell Binder and max level it as well. This is a crucial step—both weapons must be at maximum level before you can proceed with the evolution.

4. Evolve the Javelin

Once both the Javelin and Spell Binder are maxed out, get a Trash Trash to evolve the Javelin. This evolution will transform your Javelin into its upgraded form: the Longinus.

After the evolution completes, you’ll see the evolved weapon in your inventory—this is the Longinus, the evolved version of the Javelin.

5. Quit and Unlock Eric

After successfully evolving the Javelin into the Longinus, you can quit the run. The game will automatically unlock Eric as a playable character.

6. Purchase Eric in Character Selection

Return to the character selection screen and locate Eric in the roster. Purchase him to add him to your available characters.

Summary

Unlocking Eric in Vampire Survivors is straightforward once you know the requirements. Play as Jonathan, max level both the Javelin and Spell Binder, evolve the Javelin into the Longinus, and then quit the run. Eric will be unlocked and ready to purchase in your character selection menu. With this character now available, you’ll have access to new gameplay opportunities and build options.
