How to evolve a weapon

To evolve a weapon, the player needs to fulfill several conditions:

• The base weapon needs to be level 8 (both in a union).
  
• The player needs to have the required passive item of any level (in an evolution).
  
• The player needs to collect a Treasure Chest that drops from a champion spawned after the 10:00 minute mark.

However, there are some exceptions regarding the last point:

• The first chest in Mad Forest dropped by the Glowing Bat, which spawns along the wave at 1:00, can evolve a weapon.
  
• All chests in Dairy Plant, Il Molise, Cappella Magna and Boss Rash can evolve a weapon regardless of time.
  
• Treasure Chests that contain an Arcana (minutes 11:00 and 21:00 in every normal stage) cannot evolve a weapon.
  
• The character Gyorunton can evolve weapons with any chest pickup that gives an item, regardless of other conditions.

Other exceptions:

• In the case of Infinite Corridor, Crimson Shroud, and Sole Solution, all related passive items must also be fully leveled.
  
• In case of gifts, aka Bracelet, Bi-Bracelet and Super Candybox II Turbo, a passive item is not needed.

On evolution, the base weapon is removed and the evolved weapon is added. On union, both base weapons are removed and their union is added.

Thank you, @McGruwi. I've just included the missing items in the guide!

[McGruwi]

Hey man, as I see the guide lacks a few of the weapons from the latest Ante Chamber update. There are a few items from "EXTRA": Ammo Appalate -> Gunastrophe, Magi-Stone -> Kyra-Stones and I don't see a Gaze of Gea weapon from the Coop update. Also, there is another secret weapon called Chaos Rune with its evolution Wicked Ruler. But otherwise, great job! The guide looks awesome!

[𝔑𝔢𝔬𝔫 ℜ𝔞𝔦𝔫]

Thank you very much for your patience, the guide is up to date once again. Please let me know if there's anything missing! ♥

[Ten Wild Badgers]

No worries about it at all, I appreciate that you keep the guide updated at all, and figured I could provide a stopgap.

[KingOfFriedChicken]

Don't worry about it Reon, we all got lives we understand :p

[𝔑𝔢𝔬𝔫 ℜ𝔞𝔦𝔫]

I'm so sorry for the delay, I'm working on an update right now. Big thanks to @Ten Wild Badgers for posting the list in the meantime!

[Ten Wild Badgers]

Hope that list is helpful to anyone waiting for the guide to get updated, as a temporary measure.

[Triss Merigold]

he will come back soon, i use this guide for years he back every big DLC/update released

[Ten Wild Badgers]

Just hoping to contribute for the new update - the Spirit book evolves when combined with the Gorgeous Moon (Pentagram's upgrade). I think a bunch of the rest of the Castlevania items upgrade similarly, but gotta do a bunch of experimenting to figure out what upgrades what.
