There are two steps necessary to unlock the Santa Javelin in Vampire Survivors. The first step is to unlock Santa Ladonna as a playable character, who was introduced in the update. The character comes automatically equipped with the Santa Javelin, and can be used with Santa Ladonna whenever.

The next step is to get the Santa Javelin to level seven in a run. Players will have to use Santa Ladonna to accomplish upgrading it, and meeting the requirement will unlock the Santa Javelin for the available weapon pool for any character to use.

The Santa Javelin can be evolved by upgrading the weapon to its max level and combining it with a Clover. It is the same process as most other evolutions.

During a run, get your Santa Javelin to the max level of eight. Along the way, be sure to pick up the Clover passive item from the weapon pool when available or if it can be picked up off the map. The Clover gives 10% more luck to your character per level and can be upgraded to level five.

As time in the run goes on, stronger unique enemies will appear and drop chests when defeated. Collect these chests after both the Santa Javelin and Clover are at max level for the weapon to evolve into the Seraphic Cry.
