Vampire Survivorshas finally come full circle (of the moon) with its latestOde to CastlevaniaDLC. There’s a whole arsenal of new weapons to find and evolve. ThisVampire Survivorsupdate comes with over 20 new weapons, a couple of new passives, and a whole lot more.
To unlock the new weapons, you’ll basically need to unlock the characters, which we have a separate guide for. Each character comes with a weapon, and you usually unlock that weapon for other characters by surviving with the original owner for a set amount of time. You can find these specific conditions in the Unlocks section of the game.
If you haven’t playedVampire Survivorsin a little while, you may have missed some updates. Here’s our guide to the mostrecent Darkasso Update, which adds new “Dark Arcana” cards. These are extremely powerful, and we recommend unlocking them as soon as you’re able to.
We’ve compiled a handy guide so that you won’t have to dig around through a miserable pile of secrets. But enough talk; have at you!
Secret weapons and their evolutions
At a certain point in unlocking the content above, you’ll roll credits and unlock a whole batch of extra content. The castle map will have new areas, and you’ll gain more than double the weapons and characters. If you don’t want to know about those secrets, stop reading here until you’ve unlocked the ability to find them.
Below is a list of the secret weapons and how to evolve them. Some of the secret weapons require specific combinations to evolve, so we made a special section for those further down.
(Writer note: These should be put into a grid like the previous weapons. Ping me when you’ve edited them and I can add them in if you want.)
Globus + Empty Tome (max level) = Nitesco
Luminatio + Crown (max level) = Vol Luminatio
Refectio + Clover (max level) = Sanctuary
Wine Glass + Tiramisu (max level) = Meal Ticket
Weapons with Unique Evolutions (h2)
The Clock Tower Weapons– There are four items unlocked when you defeat the boss Menace, located in the underground cavern location. They are:
These four weapons can be collected and maxed out to evolve into the final weapon, Clock Tower. All you’ll need is a treasure chest after leveling them all up. They’re all located in the clock tower portion of the map.
The Custos Glyphs– Three different glyphs combine to form the Trinum Custodem, an incredibly potent weapon. They are:
Once you’ve leveled all three up to level 6, and collect a treasure chest, they’ll become the Trinum Custodem. That’s also the starting weapon of Blue Crescent Moon Cornell.
The Dominus Glyphs– Another triplicate weapon, the Dominus Glyphs require all three to be maxed out to evolve. They are:
It’s a bit confusing because Barlowe starts with a glyph that’s already on the map. You won’t be able to evolve the three glyphs together until after you defeat 8,000 enemies with him to unlock Agony. Once you collect a treasure with all three at level 6, you’ll get Power of Sire.
Universitas– First, you’ll need to evolve Umbra into Vol Umbra, and Luminatio into Vol Luminatio. Then, level both evolutions up to level 3. Then pick up a treasure chest to evolve them into Universitas.
