How to Unlock and Use Random
Short answer: reopen a previously opened coffin in one of the first five normal stages
Item | Details |
|---|---|
Prerequisite | Open that stage's coffin once |
Unlock | Reopen the same coffin in one of the first five normal stages |
Starting weapon | Rerolled when you re-enter Character Selection |
Random becomes available after you reopen a previously opened coffin in Mad Forest, Inlaid Library, Dairy Plant, Gallo Tower, or Cappella Magna. The first opening unlocks the stage's normal coffin character, so use a stage where that step is already complete.
Unlock steps
- Open a coffin once in one of the first five normal stages.
- Enter the same stage again.
- Use the map to travel to the coffin.
- Defeat the nearby enemies and reopen it.
- After the run, buy Random from Character Selection.
Reroll the starting weapon and name
Random receives a new name and base starting weapon whenever you leave and re-enter Character Selection. Return to the main menu and reopen Character Selection when the displayed weapon does not fit the run you want.
There are eight possible names, and each name changes the pattern of stat growth on level-up. Random is designed for adapting to the displayed weapon and growth pattern rather than reproducing one fixed build.
Common mistakes
- Reopen a coffin that was already opened; the first opening serves another character unlock.
- Use one of the first five base-game normal stages.
- Both the starting weapon and the name-based growth pattern can change.
- Random may start with a non-damaging weapon such as Clock Lancet or Laurel.
