How To Unlock Technoarcheologist Daedalosus Daedalosus is one of the trickier characters to unlock, as he's tied to a quest that spans across several stages. First, you need to find him in Desert Wasteland, east of the spawn point. Purchase the Teleportarium for 10,000 coins—this will unlock the Astropathic Relay on every Warhammer 40K stage. Activate it on the Desert Wasteland and Daedalosus will start popping up on other stages. Once you've activated them all, Daedalosus will be unlocked as a playable character. How To Unlock Major Docheval Major Docheval isn't nearly as fiddly to unlock, but they're a secret character tied to the only evolution in the game that doesn't work by combining a weapon and passive. Purchase Juntar Bernskyn. Find the Amberbone relic in Gnarlwood—located to the east. Level up Juntar Bernskyn until they morph into Major Docheval. Alternatively, you can enter 'greywaterfastness' into the secrets menu.
