can someone explain the coat of arms

[Paiguy]

I'm trying to unlock hammer and I did a run all the way through with 6 evolved weapons that the wiki says are from the coat and didn't get him. what am I missing here?

Could be glitched. I also read some people saying that only Ode to Castlevania weapons count, but I haven't seen any confirmation of that. And it could also be that a super candybox to immediately pick an evolved weapon may not qualify since you did not evolve into it.

I did it 1st try, but also got a few extra weapons just to be sure. The midnight bolero darkana is an excellent starter and then the hail from the past (or was it future?) darkana will give you regular candy box drops so make that the 2nd one. That way there should be no issue getting more than 6.

If you're a bit confident you can also get the wicked season arcana as a 3rd one, since this will make you level up even more and as such increases the amount of candyboxes you are given (and it makes for easier evolving since more level ups).

Do keep in mind that things may get a bit crazy, especially if you also pick wicked season. If you're having trouble seeing where the drops are you can press the menu button and zoom in to see your exact location and from there figure out where to grab it.

Yeah I've tried this one three times now and it didn't trigger the unlock. Either it's bugged or there's overly specific requirements.

I have the same problem

Quoting myself from another thread:

For me, I stalled on getting the CoA weapons that were on the map in favour of the ones that aren't, just to make damn sure I had enough. I took Revolver, Ball, Grenade, Javelin, and Glass, then picked up Curved Knife, Shuriken, and Discus. Arma Dio helped fill out the passives I couldn't take. I also didn't take any non-COA weapons.

I sealed all weapons but the Castlevania CoA weapons that can evolve when I did it.
Note in the collection the Castlevania CoA weapons are all together starting with shuriken and ending with wine glass. This means you must get 6 CoA weapons that can evolve.


Oh I played as John Morris for the free bouncing weapon Arcana VII

you have to equip it on a character, then it unlocks for everyone, i had it on jonathan

Oh you need to be able to see a locked Hammer on character select screen before you can unlock him via the 6 coat of arms mission. Same thing goes for the other secret DLC characters.

So I ran as Queen Sigma, picked up Runetracer, Santa Water, Lightning Ring, Clock Lancet and Laurel.

Using Ode to Castlevania stage I picked up Discus, Shuriken, and Curved Knife.

According to the wiki, the aforementioned weapons sans Clock Lancet and Laurel count as Coat of Arms and I evolved all of them. I've already made my way through the Pile of Secrets unlock list and Hammer is next up but I just wasted 30min as he was not unlocked at the end of my run.

I'm guessing they want us to use the Castlevania weapons. The wiki makes this confusing if it turns out to be the case.

Thank you for curing my bad eyesight with words.
