Stand Out Secret Stands: Every Non-Arrow Route

No. Neither the official Trello nor the developer changelogs describe a hidden-Stand system or a secret unlock condition. What the search term really covers is Stands you cannot get from a plain Mysterious Arrow roll. Each has a published route, listed below.

For normal arrow odds see how to get Stands.

Two Stands exist only as upgrades and never roll from arrows.

• Star Platinum: The World: use an Opal Roka on Star Platinum.
• The World: Alternative Universe: use an Opal Roka on The World.

The Opal Roka card gives 10% to swap to the other version, 10% to lose your Stand and the rest unchanged. The October 7 changelog adds that tier scales both the success and the wipe chance, and an S tier Opal Roka has 0% chance to wipe. The same update says mutated Rokas have a 3% chance per fruit when growing, and that Rokas which change Stands cannot go into splash-mode containers.

The cards name Star Platinum, The World and their two variants as affected Stands. Exact success odds per tier are TBC. Back up a Stand you like at D'Arby before you gamble.

Hermit Purple is the one fully documented quest Stand. It is not in the arrow pool.

1. Be Standless. Remove your Stand first if you have one (see below).
2. Have Jonathan Hamon.
3. Take the Obtain Hermit Purple quest from Billy.
4. Defeat DIO 1 time and use Life-Giving Overdrive on plants 15 times.

The Trello Stand card also links the route to Bill's Request. Bill is the NPC who lets you exit Mr. President's Pocket Dimension.

The Hermit Purple card lists Hermit's Sling with a base cooldown of 5 seconds, outside combat it has no cooldown.

Unverified. The official Trello only has a Jojosapiens card in the Unfinished / In Testing / Reworking list, with a reference picture and no obtain method. A fan wiki says it comes from the quest Space Oddity or from 7,500 sold accessories in the Catalog. That is one source, so we mark it unverified until the official board shows it.

A Stand Chip lets you take that Stand. The Chip card warns that your equipped Stand is lost for good when you use one, or you can slot a stored Stand back in at D'Arby.

Both Stands are also in the arrow pool, so a chip is a second route and not the only one. Shop buyers skip the 1% roll. The Train Raid shop also sells Part 5 Mysterious Arrows for 40 Tokens.

Since the October 24 update both world bosses can drop a Stand Chip:

• Jotaro: 800 health, spawns during the day, may drop a Star Platinum chip.
• DIO: 1,000 health, spawns during the night, may drop a The World chip. He also carries the Vampire sub-ability.

Drops scale with damage dealt. Drop rates are not published, so they are TBC. A new quest, Yo-Yo, What the hell, Ma?!, also lists a Yo-Yo Ma Stand Chip at a very low chance, and that Stand is in the arrow pool too.

Burning Down The House, Catch The Rainbow and Strength are held out of arrows until you finish the story (October 26 changelog). Catch The Rainbow also has its own quest from Blackmore: beat the leprechaun at the rainbow's end, pick up the cauldron, capture the rainbow and bring it back before the rain stops. That quest rewards a Mysterious Arrow and Blackmore's clothes. It does not hand you the Stand directly.

Separately, arrows used before you finish the story use a trimmed pool without Stands that are poor for progression, such as Super Fly, Rolling Stones and Cinderella (October 24).

The October 29 update removed John Rod, Tower of Gray, West End Girl and Cat Size from the arrow pool. We found no other published route to them on 15 November, so treat them as unobtainable until the developer re-adds them. Plans for rework timing are TBC.

Eat an Emerald Roka. The official card says you need Hamon or Vampire to remove a Stand, and that doing so unlocks your sub-ability's full moveset. To keep the Stand instead of losing it, turn it into a chip at D'Arby (Stand Storage) at the Docks first.
