Introduction

This guide is here to show you what the conditions for Character Unlocks, Alternate Loadouts and Character Costumes are. I tried to be as non-spoilery in the main body as possible, the Glossary + Notes has some spoilers as I try to clarify a few things.

Character Unlocks

In order to unlock the ability to play as one of the Bosses, you must first beat them when they are at Tier 3 or higher. Or in other words, beat the Boss at 3-7 or Higher (This will be the fourth zone you go through).

Reva can also be unlocked upon reaching Profile lvl 6. (v1.1, Not on Switch yet).

The Shopkeeper is unlocked by beating her in combat.

Alternate Loadouts

Every Character except the Shopkeeper has at least one additional starting Loadout. These change the character’s starting cards, artifact and weapon.

• Saffron’s Chrono Loadout – Unlocked by reaching Profile Lvl 2 (Lvl 5 on Switch).
• Saffron’s Solo Loadout – Unlocked by completing a Full Genocide Run including the Shopkeeper as Saffron.
• Reva’s Beat Loadout – Unlocked by completing a Neutral or Genocide Run as Reva.

Glossary / Notes

This section contains spoilers! Proceed with Caution.

• Pacifist runs – Spare all the Bosses, don’t use Reva’s revive before downing the final boss (Saffron saves Reva instead).

Hazel Note: Due to a calculation error, if you’re playing as Hazel Terrable may not go down from the team attack if you don’t have another source of damage like poison as of V1.1.

Note: It doesn’t seem to matter if you Spare or Execute the boss for Skin unlocks.

• Neutral runs – Execute at least 1 Boss, but not all of them Note: All that matters is that you destroy the Gate, doing so counts as a “victory”.

• Genocide runs – Kill all Bosses, but not the Shopkeeper Note: Even if you get Looped it will count as a victory if you die during the loop.

• Full Genocide runs – Kill all bosses, including the Shopkeeper Note: Make sure you Execute the final boss.
