Get the Magic Wand to Lv8 and hold Empty Tome (reduces weapon cooldown). Open a chest after 10:00 to evolve it into Holy Wand, which fires with no cooldown. Imelda starts with the Magic Wand.
Max the Fire Wand (Lv8) and hold Spinach (might/damage). Evolve via a post-10:00 chest into Hellfire — huge piercing fireballs.
Level the Axe to Lv8 and hold Candelabrador (area). Open a chest after 10:00 to evolve into Death Spiral, which throws scythes in a rotating ring around you — one of the best clear weapons in the game.
Each normal stage has a giant 'Hyper' boss (e.g., the Giant Blue Venus in Mad Forest, the Hag in Inlaid Library). Defeating it unlocks that stage's Hyper mode (faster, harder, more rewards). Unlock Hyper on multiple stages and you'll unlock the secret Green Acres stage. Hyper bosses appear during the run — survive to them and burst them down with an evolved build.
Max the Lightning Ring (Lv8) and hold Duplicator (amount). After 10:00 open a chest to evolve into Thunder Loop, which strikes twice per hit.
Level the Whip to Lv8 and have Hollow Heart (the max-HP passive) in your inventory at any level. After 10:00, open a treasure chest from a boss and the Whip becomes Bloody Tear, which heals you on critical hits. Antonio starts with the Whip, making him the easiest character for this.
Max Santa Water (Lv8) and hold Attractorb (the pickup-magnet passive; unlock it by finding a Vacuum). Evolve via a post-10:00 chest into La Borra — roaming damage pools that follow you.
Get King Bible to Lv8 and hold Spellbinder (duration). After 10:00 open a chest to evolve into Unholy Vespers — permanently orbiting bibles. A top defensive weapon.
Max the Knife (Lv8) and hold Bracer (projectile speed). After 10:00 open a chest to evolve into Thousand Edge — a relentless stream of knives in your facing direction. Gennaro starts with the Knife.
Max the Cross (Lv8) and hold Clover (luck). Evolve via a post-10:00 chest into Heaven Sword, which crits and homes more aggressively. You first need to FIND a Rosary/Clover to unlock Clover as a passive option.
Level Garlic to Lv8 and hold Pummarola (recovery). After 10:00 open a chest to evolve into Soul Eater, which heals you for each enemy it damages — incredible sustain.
Peachone and Ebony Wings are a pair. Max both to Lv8 and after 10:00 open a chest to unite them into Vandalier — circling birds that bombard enemies. No passive item is required for this union, just both birds maxed.
Each main stage hides a coffin far out in one direction — opening it unlocks a secret character (the Mad Forest coffin unlocks a key one). Build a strong mobile character, then around/after 10:00 head in a consistent direction across the huge map (use Wings/Mobility) until you reach the coffin marker. Open it to claim the unlock. The Milky Way Map item reveals coffin/relic locations if you've found it.
The Pentagram clears the whole screen periodically. Max it (Lv8) and hold Crown (growth/XP). Evolve via a post-10:00 chest into Gorgeous Moon, which also collects all gems and spawns extra ones — a god-tier farming weapon. Pentagram itself unlocks after surviving 20 minutes.
This is a union evolution: you must max BOTH guns — Phiera Der Tuphello and Eight The Sparrow (Lv8 each) — and hold Tiragisú (the revive passive). After 10:00 open a chest to merge them into Phieraggi, whose damage scales with your number of revives. Pugnala (who dual-wields the guns) is the natural character for this. Unlock the guns by surviving 10 and 15 minutes with Pugnala.
Max Song of Mana (Lv8) and hold Skull O'Maniac (curse). Evolve into Mannajja, which also slows enemies. Song of Mana unlocks by surviving 15 minutes with Poppea; Skull O'Maniac unlocks by surviving 30 minutes with Lama (who you unlock via the +Curse run).
