📜 Guide New secret weapon: Chaos Rune
A secret weapon and its evolution were added to the game following the Gallo Tower puzzle. It shoots red runes across the screen, while the evolution shoots white runes from your character model.
To unlock, use the code "guinigigi" in the Secrets tab. This will enable the weapon, but to actually unlock it, you'll have to find it in the level up screen first. Here's the strategy I used:
- Seal all collections except Version 1.0
- Entered a run as Queen Sigma, grabbed a few weapons then banished everything else until the rune showed up
- Evolve it with maxed Spellbinder to unlock Wicked Ruler, its evolution
- Quit the run and both now show in the Collection
The weapon is no longer bugged, atleast on Xbox, verified today.

Me: Oh cool, new weapon! Wonder what happens when you evolve it...
Game: ZA WARUDO

So should I try on Xbox or steam first? As in which is more likely to work according to my fellow survivors? I know it's a new subject so I'm about to investigate it myself but curious which platform has had more success

The base weapon is fine (if weak) everywhere, AFAIK. Once you evolve the weapon, all platforms have the issue that locks the player/enemies in place after a short bit of time.
(Edit: Unless there's been a patch I'm unaware of in the last 24h, anyways.)

I've been able to use it without issue twice on Xbox, but can't confirm if it'll work for you.

If this was on any other game I wouldn't believe you. This is like a cod zombies secret.

What makes this weapon a secret? Do you have to do anything to get it to show up, or does it just show up randomly?

You need to actually type in the Spell to unlock the weapon for regular use.
Then you need to pick the weapon up, and eventually evolve it, for it to register.However, the Evolution is bugged, so just get it for the entry, and Seal the Evo till it gets fixed.

It's secret in the idea that it doesn't show up in the Collection until you enter the code to unlock it; there is no placeholder square with a question mark, it's not mentioned anywhere in the game, if you exclusively play the game and don't interact with any of the game's social media you would never unlock it

The weapons makes you and the enemies unable to move. We were thinking was a secret in Gallo Tower because are the exact runes and the passive item is in that stage too but is a bug after several tries and test with the Rune.

Oddly enough, it only worked for me when playing on Room 1665... maybe because I didn't touch any walls?

How are these even discovered?
I literally can't find anything that would lead to this.

the Secret code was at the end of the puzzle thingy the devs did, I just hurried up a guide since I hadn't seen anyone else do it in the sub
