Ode to Castlevania is downloadable content for Vampire Survivors; the Steam version requires the base game. The boss locations below follow a player-maintained Steam Community guide, not an official map, and that guide warns that encounter order can vary between games. Use the named landmarks and gates as route cues rather than a guaranteed sequence.
The guide groups ordinary encounters across the forest, Marble Gallery, Clock Tower, and later regions, with a separate set of secret bosses unlocked using the Pile of Secrets. Exact routes or triggers may differ with your game’s unlock state, so confirm them in-game if a listed cue does not match your run.
How to use this boss-location list
Follow the region and landmark descriptions rather than the source guide’s numbering. Gates and boss defeats open routes and shortcuts, and Destructoid’s launch-era guide reports that defeating bosses can also unlock persistent warp points for later runs. The available location list is community-maintained; no comprehensive official boss map was found in the reviewed sources.

Navigation tips
- Use gates, runes, and named rooms as landmarks; do not assume the guide’s numbered list is a chronological route.
- Check your current stage and unlock state when a route is blocked or an encounter is absent. The guide’s route cues may vary by game.
- Use persistent warp points when available to revisit known areas; Destructoid reports that boss defeats can unlock these for later runs.
- If a cue does not match your run, check the current in-game map or codex if available and follow the encounter name or marker rather than a fixed boss order.
