How do you unlock horror in nuclear throne?

Published in Nuclear Throne Character 2 mins read

To unlock Horror in Nuclear Throne, you must follow a specific sequence of actions involving radiation canisters across different levels.

Horror is a unique character in Nuclear Throne that becomes available after you encounter and defeat a hostile version of it in the game. The process involves intentionally bypassing certain elements in two consecutive areas.

Steps to Unlock Horror

Unlocking Horror requires precise navigation and decision-making within the game's environment. Here’s a breakdown of the steps:

  1. Skip a Radiation Canister:

    • As you progress through the game, you will encounter Radiation Canisters. These are typically found in various levels.
    • To begin the unlock process, you must find one of these standard Radiation Canisters and intentionally avoid destroying it. Simply leave it intact and proceed to the next area.
  2. In the Next Area, Skip a Big Radiation Canister:

    • After successfully skipping the first Radiation Canister, continue playing until you reach the next area (the level immediately following the one where you skipped the regular canister).
    • In this subsequent area, you must locate a Big Radiation Canister. These are larger variants of the standard canisters.
    • Similar to the first step, you must skip this Big Radiation Canister as well, leaving it undamaged as you move forward.
  3. Horror Spawns:

    • Once you have skipped both the Radiation Canister and, in the subsequent area, the Big Radiation Canister, Horror will spawn in the level immediately after skipping the Big Radiation Canister.
    • Horror will appear as a hostile, mindless enemy, breaking out of a canister within that level.
  4. Defeat the Hostile Horror:

    • Upon its appearance, engage the Hostile Horror in battle.
    • Defeating this hostile version of Horror is the final step. Once vanquished, Horror will be unlocked and available as a playable character on your character selection screen.

By carefully following these steps and ensuring you do not destroy the specific radiation canisters, you will trigger the encounter with the Hostile Horror, allowing you to add this formidable character to your roster.
