Balatro Legendary Joker seeds

Unofficial fan page. Balatro is made by LocalThunk and published by Playstack. BalatroBuddy is not affiliated with either.

Legendary Jokers (Perkeo, Triboulet, Yorick, Chicot and Canio) only come from The Soul, a rare Spectral card that can appear in Arcana and Spectral Packs. A seed fixes which packs hold it. Every seed below came from a Reddit post. We checked each one against the game's seed logic and kept only those where the Legendaries really show up in a shop you can reach without skipping.

How to read the tables. "A2 pre-Big" means the Ante 2 shop you visit just before the Big Blind. Ante 1 has two shops (pre-Big and pre-Boss); later Antes have three. A * means the post did not name a deck, so we checked Red Deck. All seeds use White Stake unless the post said otherwise.

All five Legendaries

2 seeds in our set give all five within eight Antes.

A Legendary in Ante 1

117 verified seeds put at least one Legendary in an Ante 1 shop. The top 15, sorted by how many Legendaries the seed gives:

Negative Legendaries (later than Ante 1)

A Negative Legendary takes no Joker slot.

Before you play

  • Gold Stake is different. Since patch 1.0.1f, a random-seed run on Gold Stake makes the first Legendary one you have not yet won with on Gold (SteamDB patch notes). Our checks use White Stake unless the post said otherwise.
  • Locked Jokers change results. We assume every Joker is unlocked. A locked Joker can change what you see.
  • Don't skip early blinds on these seeds. Skipping removes a shop, and with it a Soul.
  • Runs started from a set seed won't unlock anything or earn achievements.

How we check seeds

We work out Antes 1-8 for the posted deck and stake from the game's seed logic. A seed is verified when every item in the post title shows up in a pack, a voucher or the first few shop cards. We leave playing-card ranks in Standard Packs off, because we can't confirm them reliably. Results assume every Joker is unlocked.
