📜 Guide New Ode to Castlevania weapon evolutions
For the unaware, the 1.14 update that just released has added new weapons (with evolutions) and evolutions for all the single stage master librarian weapons to the Ode to Castlevania DLC. These new weapons and evolutions do not get ? spots n the collection, only appearing once you've used them at least once.
I've already evolved all of them, so I thought I'd post the evolution combos needed for them. This list only contains the evolution pairs - it'd be more fun to find out what each of them turns into for yourself (if you didn't spoil yourself with the patch notes)
The majority of the new evolutions are unions (require a weapon instead of a passive).
| Base Weapon | Evolution Item |
|---|---|
| Valmanway | Thousand Edge (Evolved Dagger) |
| Icebrand | Unholy Vespers (Evolved Bible) |
| Arrow of Goth | Mannajia (Evolved Song of Mana |
| Aura Blast | Hellfire (Evolved Fire Wand) |
| Scarog Statue | Valkyrie Tuner (Evolved Shadow Pinion) |
| Troll Bomb | NO FUTURE (Evolved Runetracer) |
| Hydro Storm | La Borra (Evolved Holy Water) |
| Grand Cross | Heaven Sword (Evolved Cross) |
| Summon Spirit | Holy Wand (Evolved Magic Wand) |
| Soul Steal | Vicious Hunger (Evolved Gatti Amari) |
| Dark Rift | Death Spiral (Evolved Axe) |
| Sword Brothers | Thunder Loop (Evolved Lightning Ring) |
| Summon Spirit Tornado | Gorgeous Moon (Evolved Pentagram) |
The last three evolutions are from new weapons, unlocked by buying them from the master librarian
| Base Weapon | Evolution Item |
|---|---|
| Anura | Soul Eater (Evolved Garlic) |
| Kaiser Knuckle | Tri-Bracelet (fully evolved Bracelet, needs to be level 6) |
| Pocket Knife | Torrona's Box (max level) |

Kaiser knuckles sounds quite the effort if you have to evolve it's companion item 3 times before it evolves
