Stand Out Hermit Purple
Last updated:
Hermit Purple is a quest-obtained Stand with vine movement, pulls and Spirit Photography. Its Rare label does not mean you should spend arrows hunting it: the official acquisition card requires Jonathan Hamon and an empty Stand slot.

How to get Hermit Purple
Unlock Jonathan Hamon through Lisa Lisa’s Hamon Training first. With Jonathan Hamon and no equipped Stand, take Billy’s Obtain Hermit Purple quest. Defeat DIO once and use Life-Giving Overdrive on 15 plants. Complete the quest while meeting its Standless requirement to receive Hermit Purple. Store any Stand you want to keep before clearing your slot; the quest card gives no alternate currency purchase.
Abilities and controls
Use your configured skill keys; tap/hold actions below follow the official card. Cooldowns are base values, not a strength ranking.
Boulder Hold / Pull Rock / Throw
24sPull a rock from the ground for slower, stronger basic attacks. Use again to spin and throw it; impact hits nearby targets.
Spirit Photography
15sSelect a player on the leaderboard, then break a camera to produce a photo of that player and their surroundings.
Hermit Grasp
8sPush nearby enemies out, then pull them in. It bypasses guard and briefly stops blocking, without damage.
EX · Hermit Grasp
16s · 1 EXAim at a distant enemy to bind and reel them in. It interrupts flight and bypasses guard without dealing damage.
Limits and common mistakes
Hamon alone is insufficient: the quest specifies Jonathan Hamon and being Standless. The two objectives are separate, so defeating DIO does not replace the 15-plant requirement. Hermit Grasp is a control move rather than direct damage. Swing has a combat cooldown even though out-of-combat traversal does not.
Evolution and alternate forms
The board labels Hermit Purple as Quest/Evolution, but the documented unlock is Billy’s quest. No further evolution recipe is confirmed in the reviewed materials. Do not confuse the category label with an Opal Roka transformation.
Recent changes
November 14, 18:59 UTC: Life-Giving Overdrive gained the ability to heal and revive people. That announcement does not remove this quest’s requirement to use it on 15 plants. No revised Hermit Purple cooldowns were stated in the reviewed launch patches.
