Yoko Belnades unlock guide: defeat Abaddon as Soma

Quick answer: defeat Abaddon as Soma Cruz

Yoko Belnades unlocks when you defeat Abaddon as Soma Cruz. Defeating Abaddon with another character does not satisfy this character-specific condition.

Who this guide is for

• You want the exact requirement for unlocking Yoko Belnades.
• You defeated Abaddon but Yoko is still locked.
• You are comparing the English and Japanese character names.

Unlock steps

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

Soma Cruz appears as 来須蒼真 and Yoko Belnades as ヨーコ ヴェルナンデス in the Japanese interface.

If Yoko does not unlock

• Confirm that Soma Cruz was the selected character.
• If Soma is still locked, defeat Gergoth as Julius Belmont first.
• Continue to the result screen and check the unlock notification.

If the boss route is blocked, follow the gates in the Ode to Castlevania map guide.
