Castlevania: Belmont's Curse entices players not just with its gothic thrills but with the stylish array of skins to customize your hero. Those secret and exclusive outfits add an extra layer of excitement, especially when you spot other players flaunting rare looks mid-battle.

Among these unlockables, the KONAMI Code opens the door to the mysterious Sonia skin. Other unique outfits require conquering specific challenges, witnessing alternative endings, or securing limited editions of the game.

The KONAMI Code is entered mid-gameplay and rewards you with the Sonia outfit. Timing and precision are essential—you'll need to input the sequence swiftly and accurately to trigger the unlock.

You need to enter the KONAMI Code during gameplay to unlock the Sonia skin. Make sure you press the correct buttons in sequence and enter the code quickly.

On any modern console controller, such as PS5, Xbox, or Switch, the code is a familiar sequence that players have treasured for decades.

Press the following buttons in exact order:

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A

(↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A)

Switching over to keyboard controls changes the keys but retains the classic structure of the code.

Use this sequence if playing on keyboard:

Up Arrow, Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Down Arrow, Left Arrow, Right Arrow, Left Arrow, Right Arrow, Shift, Spacebar

Successfully entering the code triggers a pop-up confirming that you’ve unlocked the Sonia skin, validating your efforts.

To equip your new look, open the in-game Wardrobe from the menu. Sonia’s outfit should appear alongside your other skins.

The game offers a total of seven skins for Rose, each unlocked by specific methods spanning gameplay achievements, secret codes, and exclusive editions.

While four skins become available through playing and entering the KONAMI Code, three others come from owning the preorder or Midnight Edition versions of the game, making some truly rare collector’s items.

The Cursed outfit unlocks by experiencing the game’s Bad Ending. Intentionally steer through story choices that lead to this conclusion and the skin will be yours.
