How to Unlock Everything Guide for Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2

Reach Episode 2

Once you reach Episode 2 by completing Episode 1 there are two possible endings you can get. One ending will lead you to the Final Episode, while the other will take you to Episode EX. Take the EX route as doing so will unlock the Final Episode anyway.

Zangetsu will find three sacred swords (blue, red, and green) while completing the first three stages and if you present these blades to an altar at the bottom of a ladder in Stage 4 you will unlock Zanmatou. This holy sword will only slay demons and will do no harm to humans, you will need it to seperate Dominique from Mephisto and get the true ending of Episode 2.

Don't get the true ending of Episode 2

If you get the true ending of Episode 2 you will go directly to the Final Episode and Episode EX will remain locked. At the begining of Episode EX Miriam will give Zangestsu the Zanmatou sword and you can then unlock the Final Episode by beating it.

The alternative is to return to your Episode 2 save file and use 'Stage Select' to pick up the sacred swords and go to the altar. Then use 'Stage Select' again to beat the final boss so you unlock the Final Episode straight away along with the true ending.

The Final Episode

When you face the final boss you have several options, you can defeat the final boss with your entire party after completing every stage, defeat the final boss straight away, or defeat the final boss somewhere in the middle.

What you need to do is complete each stage and collect all 7 party members and all 8 magical items so you unlock the 'Zangetsu Mode Select' option. Once this feature is available you will be able to pick which of Zagetsu's abilities you want to use in any given run. This will also unlock 'Ultimate Zangetsu' which will give him every ability from the the previous game. These abilites will include runs, double jumps, slashes, and slash combos.

If you complete the Final Episode just using Zangetsu and no other party member you will unlock 'Single Character' mode. When you play this feature each character you use will face a different final boss and have a different ending. This means to see all the endings in Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 you will have to play 'Single Character' mode 13 times (play through once for Episode 1, twice for Episode 2, once for Episode EX, twice for the Final Episode, and then seven times in single-character mode).
