	The secret is first mentioned by Aamon, who appears before Psaro in [[Rosehill Tower]] via astral projection after the defeat of [[Raph]]. He affirms that Psaro is too weak to overthrow his father [[Randolfo]], and asks the estranged prince if he has ever heard of the Secret of Evolution before. He informs him that his subordinate, [[Dr. Helix Helix]], is researching the phenomenon in his laboratory in the Lower Echelon of the [[Circle of Conquest]]. When spoken to, the doctor sends Psaro out to gather [[penteractic crystal]]s from the Lower Echelon of the [[Circle of Caprice]] as he needs them to manufacture [[Sands of Time]] vital to accelerating his research into the secret.

	Much later, when Psaro, [[Duffer]], and [[Eileen]] set out to spy on the [[Hidden Valley]] where the prophesied Hero is said to be raised and witness the massacring of the villagers by [[Dolph]]'s forces, Aamon appears before the group once again. Here he uses fear-mongering and emotional manipulation to trap Psaro into thinking that the Hero and other Chosen Ones will be unstoppable if he does not use the Secret of Evolution to gain power. From here the story unfolds as it did in the original game, with Aamon organizing the kidnapping and murder of Rose while Psaro is occupied in [[Estark's Crypt]]. To insure that there would be enough time for his hired thugs to finish Rose off, Aamon installed a [[succubat]] that had perfected the [[Morph]] spell to imitate Rose. Once she was signaled that the job was done, the mimic revealed herself and mockingly informed Psaro that his lover was dead. Brought to the depths of despair, Psaro dons the Armlet of Transmutation and mutates into an Estark-like form that lays waste to all Nadiria before being killed by the Hero.

	The exact steps one must take to perform the Secret are unknown, but it can be assumed that it makes use of [[magic]] or is even a form thereof. The technique acts to physically alter a person's physical characteristics, generally making them larger and stronger, and often adding other bonuses as well; for instance, Estark and Psaro both acquire an armoured carapace. This culminated with the final forms of both Psaro and Aamon, who became a bizarre, towering entity with not only a face on the abdomen but a ''second'' head with three eyes.

This culminated with the final forms of both {{Psaro B}} and [[Aamon]], who became a bizarre, towering entity with not only a face on the abdomen but a ''second'' head with three eyes.

	For some reason, the Secret of Evolution requires the [[Armlet of Transmutation]] in order to work as intended; if attempted without it, the results are imperfect and often unpredictable. [[Marquis de Léon]], fittingly enough, became a monstrous lion, while Balzack became a huge and bloated lizardman. Each of these forms has a weapon unique to it - Estark and Psaro use two swords, the Marquis uses bare claws, and Balzack used a ~~club~~ - but whether this is an effect of the transformation or simply a matter of personal preference and common battle sense is unknown. Since Grandmaster Nimzo took on a form powerful enough in its own right with no mention or indication of him having access to the Armlet of Transmutation, there may be alternate ways of using the Secret of Evolution other than the Armlet and still achieving equally successful results.

	One major side effect of using the Secret of Evolution is loss of one's memory. Neither Estark nor Psaro have any recollection of their past after using the Secret other than their own names. This side effect only takes place if the Armlet of Transmutation is utilized to achieve the full potential of the Secret of Evolution, as neither Balzack nor Marquis de Léon experienced memory loss after performing the Secret imperfectly. Interestingly, Aamon still has his memory intact after using the Secret. This may indicate that he knew of a way to bypass the side effect of memory loss, a method that neither Psaro nor Estark were aware of.

	In the remake, Rose's tears were able to reverse the effects of the Secret of Evolution on Psaro, perhaps due to her heritage, her own unique magical traits, or her love for him.

	Unbeknownst to either Psaro or the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)\|Chosen Hero]], Aamon had expected them to kill each other in [[Nadiria]] while he perfected the Secret of Evolution and assumed dominion over all monsterkind.
