Unlocking Peppino isn’t hard to do per se, but it is somewhat of a strange procedure. To unlock this character you need to follow a few specific steps that the game’s Discord users discovered. The steps are as follows:

  1. Play as O’Sole Meeo.
  2. Run Il Molise.
  3. Run through the plants and trees so you heal them with your Celestial Dusting.
  4. Level up Celestial Dusting as you go. You will start to see healing numbers.
  5. Continue running through plants and trees until you hit 10k healed.
  6. You will hear an unlock sound.
  7. Quit or finish run.
  8. Buy Peppino from Character Selection screen.

That’s all you need to do to unlock this hidden tree character. The method is fairly simple, but it can seem like you are not doing anything when you are doing it. This video shows the full process.

Peppino Starting Weapon & Passive

Peppino starts a run with the evolved Garlic item, Soul Eater. He also has an interesting passive which causes him to steal hearts and his power increases when recovering HP.

  • Max Health – 120.
  • Armor – (+2).
  • Move Speed – (-100%).
  • Area – (-60%).
  • Magnet – (+100%).
