Slay The Spire – How to unlock The Defect
Jan 28, 2026
In this short video I show the fastest way to unlock The Defect in Slay The Spire. You’ll learn the exact steps: start a Standard run, select The Silent as your playable character (or unlock Silent first if needed), then abandon the run to trigger The Defect unlock. I also explain the simple requirement to unlock Silent (using the Ironclad) and how to verify The Defect appears in the character select screen. This method uses the in-game Standard mode and takes less than a minute to complete — perfect if you just want to unlock the character quickly and get back to playing.
