Soma Cruz unlock guide: defeat Gergoth as Julius

Quick answer: defeat Gergoth as Julius Belmont

Soma Cruz unlocks when you defeat Gergoth as Julius Belmont. Defeating Gergoth with another character does not satisfy this character-specific condition.

Who this guide is for

• You want the exact requirement for unlocking Soma Cruz.
• You defeated Gergoth but Soma is still locked.
• You are following the normal character chain toward Yoko Belnades.

Unlock steps

1. Unlock Julius Belmont first.
2. Select Julius Belmont on the character screen.
3. Start Ode to Castlevania.
4. Defeat Gergoth.
5. Confirm the Soma Cruz unlock after the run.

Soma Cruz appears as 来須蒼真 in the Japanese interface. The names refer to the same character.

If Soma does not unlock

• Confirm that Julius Belmont was the selected character.
• If Julius is still locked, open the second coffin in Ode to Castlevania first.
• Continue to the result screen and check the unlock notification.

Unlock Yoko Belnades next

After Soma is available, select him and defeat Abaddon to unlock Yoko Belnades.
