Gustav is a fairly time-intensive character to unlock, and it may take you around an hour to get it done. To start, proceed through the Green portal after beating Act 1. Next, you’ll want to make your way to the South Pier to visit Jack, the boat seller.
You will need to spend 800 gold to purchase the boat to get to the Lonely Rock. Accept the quest at the Lonely Rock, and you will receive the 800 gold back.
Finish out Act 2 and proceed through the Blue portal. Navigate to the Mansion character event in the Blue area, located on the east side of the map.
Once you get to the mansion, select the Continue option to go to the left wing and take the lute for Gustav. Once that’s done, you will have successfully unlocked Gustav as a playable character.
About Gustav
Gustav is a Minstrel that specializes in songs (Stanza). He was once a famous rock star that was reincarnated as a frog. Gustav has the Cantor innate and the Jingle Bell starting item. Gustav’s Jingle Bell item reduces the cost of the highest-cost Song spell in your hand by 1 until discarded (every three turns).
To make the most out of Gustav’s specialization, build down the Mystical tab by picking up the middle Stanza I perk to gain 1 inspire at the end of the turn. You can also put perks into Mind damage.
