The newest Sailor Piece update introduced several powerful race evolutions, but Archangel is already becoming one of the most wanted secret races in the game. Not only does it have one of the coolest designs in the update, but the evolution process itself is also much harder than most players expected.
A lot of players are getting stuck because the game barely explains the requirements properly. Some players are farming the wrong bosses, while others forget to use the correct race and lose hours of progress.
If you want to unlock Archangel as quickly as possible, this guide explains every step clearly so you can avoid those mistakes and finish the grind much faster.
You Must Equip Angel Race First
Before starting the questline, make sure you are using the Angel race.
This is extremely important because none of the Divine Trial progress counts unless Angel race is currently equipped. Even if you complete objectives correctly, the game will not track them if you switch races.
Before beginning:
- Equip Angel race
- Double-check your race before farming
- Avoid rerolling races during the questline
Once you are ready, you need to locate the Archangel quest NPC.
Archangel NPC Location
At the moment, the exact NPC location is still somewhat unclear because the update and islands were first tested on private and testing servers. Most players believe the NPC is connected to the newer Sea 2 areas.
As more players discover the exact location, this part may become easier, but once you find the NPC, you will begin the Divine Trials required for the evolution.
Divine Trial One: Obtain Five Secret Drops
The first Divine Trial is one of the more annoying sections because it depends heavily on RNG.
You need to collect:
Five secret drops while using Angel race
The game counts rare reward-type items such as:
- Aura Crates
- Cosmetic Crates
- Secret Chests
- Similar rare drops
Since these are luck-based rewards, some players finish quickly while others may need much longer.
Best Way to Finish Trial One Faster
To speed up this section:
- Use luck boosts whenever possible
- Farm high-drop-rate activities
- Join active boss farming servers
- Use relics that improve luck or drops
The faster you can trigger rare rewards, the easier this trial becomes.
Divine Trial Two: Collect the Four Hidden Halos
The second trial focuses more on exploration instead of grinding.
You need to find four hidden halos located around the world.
The halos are:
- Humility
- Kindness
- Temperance
- Self-Respect
The good thing is that you can collect them in any order you want.
The NPC will also tell you which halos you are still missing, so you do not need to remember everything manually.
Exploration Tips for Halo Hunting
Finding the halos can take time if you search blindly.
A few things that help:
- Explore new islands carefully
- Check hidden rooms and cliffs
- Search around boss arenas
- Use fast movement abilities or boats
Most hidden collectibles in Sailor Piece are usually placed in elevated or hard-to-notice locations, so always check rooftops and corners.
Divine Trial Three: Farm the Three Special Halos
The final Divine Trial is where the real grind begins.
You must obtain three rare halos dropped by bosses.
Patience Halo
Dropped from:
- Atomic Boss
- Strongest Shinobi Boss
Charity Halo
Dropped from:
- Cosmic Being
- Sun Incarnate
This halo reportedly has a slightly better drop chance than the others.
Diligence Halo
Dropped from:
- Spirit Warrior
- World Boss
Since all of these are RNG drops, luck again becomes very important.
Use Luck Boosts for Boss Farming
This section can become extremely time-consuming without good drop boosts.
Helpful boosts include:
- 2x Luck boosts
- relics with increased drop rate
- event bonuses
- farming in groups for faster clears
Boss respawn timing also matters, so server hopping can sometimes speed things up significantly.
How to Unlock Archangel
After completing all three Divine Trials, return to the NPC while still using Angel race.
Once you speak with the NPC again, your race will evolve into:
Archangel
The transformation is permanent, meaning you only need to complete the full grind once.
You Can Reclaim Archangel Later
One of the best parts about the system is that you do not need to redo the entire evolution if you accidentally lose Archangel later.
If you reroll races or switch away from it:
- Equip Angel race again
- Return to the NPC
- Talk to them once more
You will instantly regain Archangel without repeating the Divine Trials.
Fastest Method to Unlock Archangel
If your goal is completing the evolution quickly, this order works best:
- Equip Angel race immediately
- Farm secret drops first
- Save luck boosts for boss farming
- Collect the hidden halos while waiting for boss respawns
- Farm all halo bosses in active servers
- Server hop often for faster farming
Doing things in this order helps reduce downtime and makes the grind feel much smoother overall.
For most late-game players, definitely.
Archangel is one of the strongest and most visually impressive secret races currently available in Sailor Piece. The grind can take a while because of the RNG elements, but the race is clearly designed as a major endgame progression goal.
As long as you remember to keep Angel race equipped during every step, the evolution process becomes much less frustrating than many players initially think.
