I slid open the coffin in Red Moon Manor and the air changed. You feel the run tilt the moment a new character appears on the roster. I watched chat fill with frantic clips seconds after.
I’ve played the map enough to trace every step; you’ll save hours if you follow a clear order. I’ll show how each character is earned, what triggers to chase, and the handful of tricks streamers on Twitch and creators on Steam swear by.
When the DLC hit Steam the community thread filled with screenshots — All new characters in Vampire Survivors: Legacy of Bloodmoon and how to get them
Buy the Legacy of Bloodmoon DLC on Steam, then start a fresh run on Red Moon Manor. Every character on this list only appears on that map, so don’t waste time in other stages.
| Character | How to Get |
|---|---|
| Malice Bloodmoon | Find the coffin in Red Moon Manor and open it. |
| Calogero | Use Malice and survive 15 minutes to gain the Scarlet Needle. Evolve the Scarlet Needle to obtain Calogero. |
| Ashtart | Survive 15 minutes with Calogero to receive Ashella, then evolve it. |
| Sargon | Survive 15 minutes with Ashtart to get Incineration, then evolve that weapon. |
| Fool | Upgrade Descent Into Misery to Level 9. |
| Congregation | Complete seven runs with Nameless Fool where you die; focus on intentional deaths to obtain it faster. |
| Jaman Jato | Defeat 6,000 Jaman Jatos across multiple runs. |
| Saint | Defeat Ashtart, Sargon, Congregation, and Baal in a single run. |
| Kujata | Break the statue of Kujata by collecting either 108 Responsive Prayers or 108 Bocce. |
| Baal’Thasar | Defeat the ultimate boss in Red Moon Manor. |
| Baal’Thamur | After getting Baal’Thasar, hold the Velvet Dodecahedron and obtain Damnation. |
How do I get Malice Bloodmoon?
Start by sweeping the manor’s central rooms: the coffin sits in a fixed chamber, and opening it is a one-shot event for that run. I treat that moment like flipping a circuit breaker — it either powers the roster, or you keep searching on the next run.
How do I beat Baal’Thasar and reach the final forms?
Baal’Thasar is the finale of a route that asks you to stack evolved weapons and maintain control through the midgame. Players on Twitch often use evolved area-control items and prioritize survival time; keeping distance and farming experience until you hit the late waves is the simplest path to face him.
On streams I saw players obsess over the order of events — Practical tips that save runs and time
Malice is a lit fuse, setting the roster ablaze when you open the right chest early. Because many characters require surviving 15 minutes with a specific lead, plan each run: pick the right starting weapon, buy targeted upgrades, and treat time thresholds like checkpoints rather than goals.
If you’re farming a character that needs repeated deaths (Congregation), make a short route where you collect what you need and then sacrifice the run; it’s faster than lengthy slow clears. If you need cumulative kills (Jaman Jato), run mob-heavy builds and use items that pull groups together.
The Red Moon Manor is a living maze, its corridors breathing secrets that reward repetition—map the rooms on your first few runs and the rest becomes mechanical. I recommend watching a couple of high-view Steam clips or a streamer who tags their strategies; Poncle’s patch notes and the Steam Community hub are good places to follow any balance tweaks.
