All new Weapon Evolutions in Vampire Survivors Ode to Castlevania

Vampire Survivors has finally come full circle (of the moon) with its latest Ode to Castlevania DLC. There’s a whole arsenal of new weapons to find and evolve. This Vampire Survivors update 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 played Vampire Survivors in a little while, you may have missed some updates. Here’s our guide to the most recent Darkasso Update, which adds new “Dark Arcana” cards. These are extremely powerful, and we recommend unlocking them as soon as you can.

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

Hex + Skull O’Maniac = Nightmare

Iron Shield + Parm Aegis = Dark Iron Shield

Keremet Bubbles + Armor (max level) = Keremet Morbus

Luminatio + Crown (max level) = Vol Luminatio

Optical Shot + Karoma’s Mana (max level) = Acerbatus

Refectio + Clover (max level) = Sanctuary

Silver Revolver + Karoma’s Mana = Jewel Gun

Sonic Dash + Wings (max level) = Rapidus Fio

Star Flail + Pummarola = Moon Flail

Tyrfing + Spinach = Rune Sword

Umbra + Attract Orb (max level) = Vol Umbra

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:

• Endo Gears
• Epi Head
• Myo Lift
• Peri Pendulum

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:

• Centralis Custos – Starting weapon of Cornell, you must unlock him first
• Destro Custos – Found in the underground section of the castle
• Sinestro Custos – Found in the other underground section of the castle

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 in order to evolve. They are:

• Dominus Agony – Defeat 8,000 enemies as Barlowe to unlock
• Dominus Anger – Barlowe’s starting weapon, also found under the church area
• Dominus Hatred – Found in the church portion of the map

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.
