Unlocking stuff

So was really addicted to the first slay the spire but I absolutely hated having to play as other characters in order to unlock variation for the only character I liked. The main appeal of roguelikes for me is the amount of variation and I absolutely refuse to play the other characters to unlock stuff for ironclad lol.

Anyway my question is, is the sequel still the same way where I have to play every character to unlock all the relics and stuff? And if so is there a game file I can edit that just unlocks everything?

I don’t mind having to play ironclad to unlock more ironclad cards but I decided I’m not gonna waste my time playing characters I don’t like this time around.
