Simondo Belmont unlock guide: evolve Diver Mines
Quick answer: evolve Diver Mines into Atmo-Torpedo
Item | Details |
|---|---|
Required DLC | Operation Guns |
Unlock condition | Evolve Diver Mines |
Evolution | Atmo-Torpedo |
Starting weapon | None |
Spell | `honouringmasato` |
Simondo Belmont becomes available for purchase after you evolve Diver Mines into Atmo-Torpedo. The normal route requires access to Newt Plissken, whose starting weapon is Diver Mines.
Unlock steps
- Select Newt Plissken.
- Raise Diver Mines to level 8.
- Collect Weapon Power-Up and Attractorb.
- Open an evolution-capable chest after meeting all requirements.
- Finish the run and purchase Simondo Belmont on the character selection screen.
Weapon Power-Up loses one level when used for this evolution. Current public sources still disagree between 21 and 28 Grenades for Newt, so use the in-game Unlocks entry for your version.
Spell alternative
After obtaining the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane and unlocking spell entry, enter `honouringmasato` in the Secrets menu. This bypasses the Newt and Diver Mines chain, but the Operation Guns DLC is still required.
How Simondo works
Simondo starts with no weapon and 100 Max Health. He gains +1 Amount every 20 levels, reaching a maximum of +4 at level 80. He also spawns Rapid Fire, Barrier, and Grenade pickups at intervals.
Because he begins without an attack, take an offensive weapon from the first level-up choices.
If he does not unlock
- Raise Diver Mines to level 8.
- Hold both Weapon Power-Up and Attractorb.
- Open an evolution-capable chest after completing the setup.
- For the spell route, obtain the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane first.
