All five Legendary Jokers have to be unlocked in the same way, which is by using The Soul Spectral card.
If you haven’t already encountered them, Spectral cards are rare and mysterious cards that often have great boons, but at the cost of a debuff. However, The Soul’s effect is very straightforward: “Creates a Legendary Joker.”
When using this card, you will be randomly given one of the five Legendary Jokers in the game, and once you receive one of them via The Soul card, it will be permanently unlocked for future runs. So, if you want all five, you’ve got to buy Spectral Packs whenever you can to get the best odds of pulling The Soul and getting a new Legendary Joker.
