Julius Belmont unlock guide: second coffin

Quick answer: open the second coffin in Ode to Castlevania

Julius Belmont unlocks when you open the second coffin in Ode to Castlevania. This is not the first coffin outside the castle that unlocks Leon Belmont.

Who this guide is for

• You want to know which character comes from the second coffin.
• You opened Leon's coffin but Julius is still locked.
• You want to continue the chain toward Soma Cruz.

Unlock steps

1. Progress through the castle in Ode to Castlevania.
2. Find the second coffin inside the stage.
3. Defeat any enemies guarding the coffin.
4. Touch the coffin to unlock Julius Belmont.
5. Confirm that Julius appears on the character screen after the run.

If unopened gates are blocking the castle route, follow the boss and gate order in the Ode to Castlevania map guide.

If the coffin does not open

• Confirm that this is the second coffin, not Leon's coffin before the castle entrance.
• Defeat all enemies guarding it.
• Check that the DLC is installed and enabled.
• Defeat the required gate bosses if part of the castle is still inaccessible.

Unlock Soma Cruz next

After Julius is available, select him and defeat Gergoth to unlock Soma Cruz.
