John Morris unlock guide: four required weapon evolutions

Quick answer: evolve four elemental weapons

John Morris unlocks after you evolve all four required elemental weapons. You do not need to complete all four evolutions in one run; progress can be split across multiple runs.

Who this guide is for

• You want the exact requirement for unlocking John Morris.
• You need to know whether all four evolutions must happen in one run.
• You are comparing the English and Japanese character or weapon names.

The four required weapons

1. Raging Fire → Salamender
2. Ice Fang → Cocytus
3. Gale Force → Pneuma Tempestas
4. Rock Riot → Gemma Torpor

Evolve each weapon into its corresponding result. Work through them one at a time and use the in-game Unlocks screen to track what remains.

Unlock steps

1. Obtain one of the required weapons in Ode to Castlevania.
2. Complete that weapon's evolution requirements and open an evolution-eligible chest.
3. Repeat until all four weapons have been evolved.
4. Confirm the John Morris unlock after the run.

If John does not unlock

• Check whether one of the four weapon evolutions is still missing.
• Confirm that you evolved the exact weapon listed on the Unlocks screen.
• Maxing the base weapon is not enough; obtain the evolved result.
• If you split progress across runs, use the Unlocks screen to confirm what registered.

John Morris appears as ジョニー モリス in the Japanese interface. Rock Riot is listed there as ロックストライク.
