Short answer: collect Arma Dio once during a run
Item | Details |
|---|---|
Unlock | Collect Arma Dio once during a run |
Documented location | A lever in Laborratory's large central room |
Effect | Choose one available base-game passive item |
Important | Arma Dio itself occupies a weapon slot |
To add Arma Dio to the normal pool, collect it once on a stage. In Laborratory, the levers in the large central room north of the starting area can produce one. Their results are not fixed: a lever may instead produce Santa Javelin or a group of enemies.
How to unlock it in Laborratory
- Start Laborratory.
- Travel north from the starting area to the large central room.
- Activate the room's levers.
- Pick up Arma Dio if it appears.
- If it does not appear, try another lever or another run.
An enemy result does not mean the unlock is broken. It means that lever produced a different result.
How to use Arma Dio
Collecting Arma Dio opens a choice of available base-game passive items. It is useful when an evolution needs a passive that is not already on the stage or when a planned passive has not appeared through normal level-ups.
Arma Dio itself is treated as a weapon, not a passive selection box. Leave a weapon slot available and decide which passive the run needs before collecting it.
If it does not unlock
- A lever can produce enemies or Santa Javelin instead.
- Confirm that you actually collected Arma Dio before ending the run.
- Remember that it needs a weapon slot, not a passive slot.
- Reopen Unlocks and the Collection after the run.
