Vampire Crawlers can sting when you least expect it. I hit a coffin on my tenth run and realized a Crawler I wanted required a strange chain of small tasks—like finding a map inside a dusty sarcophagus. That moment of “I should have known” is exactly what this guide fixes: clear, fast, and useful.
I play the runs, read the Steam and Reddit threads, and watch streamers so you don’t waste hours on blind grinding. You’ll get which characters are fast to claim, which demand a grind, and where to stop wasting time.
I’ve watched players stare at the roster while a run timer ticks. Here’s how to get each Crawler without guessing.
Below I translate the game’s requirements into a practical plan. The table lists every character and the condition you must meet; use it as a checklist during runs. Gold shown is in-game currency—no real-world purchase is required.
How do you get all characters in Vampire Crawlers?
Follow the table to the letter: some characters are triggered by finishing specific zones or killing certain enemies, others by playing designated cards enough times. Track progress on your runs and focus one objective per session—clear the area, then farm the requirement.
Which characters are easiest to get first?
Start with Antonio—he’s handed to you in the tutorial. Imelda is the next simplest: play a run in the Mad Forest and you can grab her for 10 gold. From there, aim for characters tied to common events (coffins, frequent enemies) before committing to the long grinders like Krochi or Gallo.
How long does it take to unlock a character?
Times vary wildly. Tutorial and zone-clears are instant. Kill- or play-count requirements take multiple runs—some players log dozens of hours for the highest-tier Crawlers. Check YouTube clips and Twitch streams to copy the most efficient routes if you’re short on time.

Use the table as your run checklist. Consider each requirement a recipe: mix the necessary kills, card plays, or zone clears in the smallest number of runs possible, and you’ll taste success sooner. For route ideas, watch streamers on Twitch, read pinned threads on the Steam community, and check Moyens I/O or YouTube guides for shortcuts.
This game rewards small, repeated actions more than luck—so plan one objective per session and trade time for certainty. Which Crawler will you hunt first?
