How to Get Vampire [Dio Brando] in A Universal Time (AUT)
To unlock Vampire [Dio Brando], you first need the default Vampire ability. This requires finding a Stone Mask, which you can obtain from chests. However, the Stone Mask is a Legendary rarity item, so it might take a while to find one.
Once you get a Stone Mask, follow these steps:
- Equip Standless (make sure you don’t have any other Stand or Ability equipped).
- Use the Stone Mask to obtain the Vampire ability.
With the Vampire ability unlocked, you can now move on to getting Vampire [Dio Brando].
How to Get Dio Charms in AUT
To upgrade to Vampire [Dio Brando], you need to collect 6 Dio Charms.
- Dio Charms are Rare rarity items that can be found inside chests.
- The best place to grind for them is the desert area.
- Once you have 6 Dio Charms, keep them in your inventory (not in storage), or else the next step won’t work.
Now, take your 6 Dio Charms to the crafting NPC and craft Dio’s Remains. Once you have Dio’s Remains, you’ll need one more item: Vampirism Mastery.
How to Get Vampirism Mastery in A Universal Time (AUT)
To obtain Vampirism Mastery, you must fight Dio Brando. Here’s how to summon him:
- Use Dio’s Remains at the boss altar to summon Dio Brando.
- Defeat Dio Brando for a 20% chance to drop Vampirism Mastery.
If Dio Brando doesn’t drop Vampirism Mastery, you’ll need to craft another Dio’s Remains and summon him again. That means grinding 6 more Dio Charms from chests and repeating the process.
Once you finally obtain Vampirism Mastery, follow these final steps:
- Equip the Vampire ability.
- Use Vampirism Mastery while Vampire is equipped.
- You will now have Vampire [Dio Brando]!
This ability brings stronger vampiric powers, undead minions, and high-damage attacks, making it a great upgrade from the base Vampire ability.
