Richter Belmont unlock guide: evolve Guardian's Targe

Quick answer: evolve Guardian's Targe

Richter Belmont unlocks when you evolve Guardian's Targe into Sacred Beasts Tower Shield. Richter is the endpoint of the first 20-character chain, and selecting him opens the next objective in the Throne Room.

Who this guide is for

• You want the exact requirement for unlocking Richter Belmont.
• You need the passive item for Guardian's Targe.
• You want to know what follows the first 20-character chain.

Unlock steps

1. Obtain Guardian's Targe in Ode to Castlevania.
2. Raise Guardian's Targe to level 8.
3. Hold Pummarola during the same run.
4. After both requirements are ready, open an evolution-eligible chest to obtain Sacred Beasts Tower Shield.
5. Confirm the Richter Belmont unlock after the run.

Pummarola only needs to be owned; it does not need to reach maximum level. Open an evolution-eligible chest after the weapon reaches level 8.

After unlocking Richter

Start Ode to Castlevania as Richter and travel to the Throne Room at the top of the Clock Tower to begin his dedicated sequence. If the castle gates and warps are not ready, follow the map progression guide first.

If the evolution does not appear

• Confirm that Guardian's Targe reached level 8.
• Confirm that Pummarola is in the same build.
• Open an evolution-eligible chest after completing both requirements.
• Make sure you did not level the similarly named Iron Shield instead.
