Once at the Castlevania stage, you can unlock Dracula inVampire Survivorsby heading to his throne room while playing as Richter Belmont (you can check out how to unlock Richter by heading further down). As you can see below, the throne room will be located at the very top of the castle, past the Abbadon boss fight.
Unlike how their battle played out inRondo of Blood,Dracula X Chronicles, andSymphony of the Night, and although his location will be marked with a Skull, Dracula is not a boss here.

After defeating Death, you will both complete the stage and become able to get 20 secret characters, including fan favorites like Isaac.
