Quick guide to unlock the new secret character.
The First Run
Before starting:
Prophet’s Cape causes a crash, as long as you do not use this item you should be fine.
- In the character select screen, choose any character. I recommend Loader for the movement skills but any character works.
- Select Artifact of Command.
- Start a new game on Drizzle.
- Play the game normally until Stage 5, Temple of the Elders.
- There’s a clay pot on the far left or right side of Stage 5.
It spawns behind a wall and will require movement skills or an item such as a hopoo feather to reach.Break the pot as you would open a container and get the equipment ‘Strange Battery’. - Defeat the boss and proceed to the Final Stage, the Contact Light.
- Once on the Contact Light, get a keycard and then make your way to the Cabin.
- Drop off the edge and hug the wall to enter the Golem dancing room.
- Once in the Golem dancing room, you will need to walk through an invisible tunnel in order to find the Rift Chest.
- Put the Strange Battery into the Rift Chest by using the Interact button.
- Kill Providence or die from an enemy to end the first run.Important: Do not quit out otherwise the Rift Chest will not properly save.
The Second Run
- In the character select screen, choose any character.
- Select Artifact of Command.
- Start a new game on Rainstorm or Monsoon.
- Play the game normally until Stage 2.
- The Rift Chest will spawn in a random chest location on the map. Purchase and equip the Strange Battery again.
- Defeat the boss and proceed to Stage 3 with the Strange Battery.
- Defeat the boss on Stage 3 and charge the teleporter but do not press the teleporter button until the timer hits between 22:00 and 22:59.
- A red robot will spawn in a hidden room on Stage 4. The robot has a green arrow pointing towards it similar to drones. Interact with it but let it kill you.
- Congratulations! You have now unlocked ROBOMANDO.
