Dario

[alexsavateur]

Hi, guys. I am having trouble unlocking Dario.
I tried Charlotte alone with base raging fire as her only weapon, single slots also, i did not evolved It. But it did not unlocked Dario. Tried the same again, but evilving the weapon. No Luck too. Any tips?

Use Charlotte, don't take any other damaging weapons/arcana. Go to the garden level. Stand still for 15 minutes. Win.

And turn off random events, as it might spawn enemies.

I was using Gemini and other arcanas. So i cant even use arcana. I'll try It. Thanks.

You dont need to move or fight anything in Il Molise.

[alexsavateur]

Thanks, again. It worked.

I unlocked him 3 times, he kept "relocking" when I quitted the game until I bought him after the third time.

Gemini weapons are a different uniquely named hidden weapon each, so that was your problem.

Its only the gemini arcana that the problem as it gives you the gemini version of her weapon.

Did you kill at least 1 enemy?

[Josko]

No I didnt kill any enemy, I'll try that =)

[Josko]

Nope didnt work, I've been trying it on Il Molise stage, killed 6 of those plant enemies and then just stand still rest of the time, still no dario :(

Weird... Did you get any arma dio? This WILL "cancel" the unlocking. You can get any passive on the level, you can have more than 6 passives BUUUT if you get a single passive through arma dio = "you lose"!

Dont move dont kill anything just let the game run until you win.
Also make sure you start with her default weapon not the one that let you pick a spell from the book as this book counts as a weapon.
Likewise I recommend turning off arcana so you don't take one that counts as a weapon.

A summary:

First and foremost:
- "Charlotte" is must since she (currently) is the only one starting with "Raging Fire / Salamender"
( before Dario is unlocked, that is ).

- Limiting the weapon-count to one (1) eliminates all additional weapons in the level-up-menu.

- Picking up any non-passive-equipment-items including "Belnades' Spellbook" nulls the run
( at least according to my experiences from earlier; the newest update might have changed this ).

- Also "Candybox / Super Candybox II Turbo" plus "Arma Dio" are to be avoided / discarded;
even when picking the "SKIP"-choice in the weapon-selection-menu the run has been nulled since the aforementioned items on this paragraph have been considered picked-up / equipped.


- One other stage suggestion is "Moongolow" since all the passive-items can be picked up from the ground very close by the starting area.

- Even in 15-minute -stages, one needs to remember to still wait until the timer / stage-clock itself goes past "30:00".
Thus "Endless"-mode has to be activated. And fortunately "Hurry"-mode is allowed.


- There are no limitations for the (D)Arcana-choices, so going wild for example with "Out of Bound" and "Wandering the Jet Black" are valid strategies.
EDIT (202411081755):
There is word going "Gemini" might generate some hidden weapons or otherwise trigger non-"Raging Fire / Salamender"-weapon being equipped;
I personally haven't test-validated this. But it is still worth editing here just in case.
