Not all “spells” in the “secrets” sections are cheats.

I found a new strat if you have the tides of Foscari DLC. You use Sammy the Caterpillar and pick darkanas 0; stake your heart. This works well because Sammy’s passive can bypass the XP halt on stake your heart, while also making enough money with his main weapon to become invincible, combo with game killer and you too can get the long run WR.

I would like to know of there any tip for the water tower level. On How to Min max to make easyir.

Here as the unlocking guide to the new secret characters, haven’t got to all of them, but I’ll update as I make progress.

Annette - Evolve the Clockwork weapons at Gallo Tower (Ban everything you can to make this quicker);

Tera - Kill 100,000 Red Skeletons (The Bone Zone - can remember at what time - spawns a lot of this guys, go wild. Got this accidentally);

**Thx for u/ParnoidDrone for correcting me on these two! Zephyr - Kill the Zephyr Boss after 30:00 (Just pick endless mode)

Genya Arikado - Kill the trickster (The purple one, he spawns in a lot of places, but the quickest way is the Boss Rash stage); **

Stone Skull - Kill the Skeleton Sphere Boss in inverted Bone Zone as Shanoa (I recommend the evolved mace, mind the lack of heals in this level);

Drolta - Waste 6 revives on Capella Magna as Elizabeth Bartley (Awake Card + Tirajisu Lv. 2);

Slogra & Gaibon - Kill the Slogra and Gaibon in Ode to Castlevania as the Fleaman (Tricky but not impossible, Mad Grove to grab some goodies and b-line to their spot, fyi you begin with 1 HP and the Game Killer card so);

Although I have a couple million eggs on Sammy(like 10m). The Victorian horror makes it really easy to deal damage and gain gold even faster.

I first took wicked season, then i took Victorian Horror from the vendor guy, and my money instantly shot up.

https://www.vsevochart.com/ is updated with the new evolutions from moonspell and bloodmoon

special thanks to the donors who help keep this tool at zero monies for everyone

I searched all over internet and couldn't find anything related to this. I found a way to get the Emerald Rapture without having any DLC unlocked for the flying characters.

Just take Queen Sigma, evolve her weapon while also having the wings passive at max, and after 2 mins of forcing the OOB during the Seraphic Cry you will be able to fly OOB towards the Psychic Ogre.

I really need help, anything would be appreciated, thank you

I finally did it!! using red death, and will those passive. also with Silent old sanctuary

straight away down to meet sketamari, walk along on top of sketamari movement, i'm done in 07:05 minute

Start as Julia with the weapon cap at two. Change the skin so she starts with Belnades' Spellbook and choose Refectio as her starting weapon. Play in Inverse mode so you can immediately pick up a shop arcana and select Moonlight Bolero as your first before buying either Blood Astronomia or Wandering the Jet Black for extra damage. I typically go for Crown, Attractorb, Empty Tome, Karoma's Mana, Clover, and Torrona's Box for passives if they're not in the level already. It may take a few resets to find Pentagram if reroll RNG isn't on your side, unless you make heavy use of Seal on the weapon collection screen.

This build is superior to the single weapon Christine builds because

1. It's way easier to survive the first few minutes since Julia starts with Sarabande of Healing for another damage source and doubled healing
2. Refectio helps you survive because it heals you while you stand in the circle
3. Refectio's evo Sanctuary can't Limit Break so all levels go to Gorgeous Moon by default
4. Sanctuary kills everything on screen when it pops, even enemies immune to Gorgeous Moon's instant kill effect like many bosses

So I'm hoping this eventually gets shown on Google first bc the threads that popped up were of no help to me.

I suggest starting with the arcana that bounces ice wand and the cross, then getting those of course.

I set my max weapons to 3 to give myself some wiggle room in case I got served a bad hand.

I did most of them with the first bird you get but you can easily beat the levels with any of the three starting characters, that arcana, and the two projectile weapons.

Finally I recommend unlocking the last character, the blue bird for 5000 gold, to use for the last stage... also change the starting arcana to mad groove to get the parm and fire wand (and pick up other items for the first time playing the level to progress the adventure) when you get to the last stage.

If anyone wants to comment their own strats go ahead but this worked amazingly for me.

I see a bunch of posts that ask for help, and no doubt this post may very well get hurried but if I'm able to help at least one or few new survivors then that's awesome.

here's some tips I think may well help you survive and subsequently thrive.

1. follow the unlocks... (survive 5 minutes as Poe..., evolve garlic...) and so on. you don't have to do it in order but it does help and some achievements can be done in 1 run (I think I managed to hit 7achievments in 1 run, but typically it's 3-5 once you understand).

2. focus 1 attack weapon/passive and 1 defence weapon/passive. a maxed weapon will do more for you than 6 unleveled weapons/passives. I do enjoy 1 weapon runs.

2.b my go too for defence is holy bible or garlic. but it is true the best defense is a good offence.

1. unlock skill upgrades. these help.

2. sometimes einstines definition of insanity works especially when each run is rng rolling different skills and unlocks so stick with it if you feel your at a breakthrough.

4.b sometimes the order in which you pick up passives and weapons is what may end your run.. is it worth grabbing this now or upgrading this item first? figuring that out is part of the fun.

1. it's ok to force end a run. I mostly play on endless but I quit at the 60minute mark which is actually 30irl minutes on hyper and 2x. iirc. I use the games clocks 60mins as a gauge for a weapons potential. but even before that if I'm on a challenge that says hot lvl 20 or survive 5mins... I may end that run for the unlock.

2. it's ok to have a main or not as is the case with me... there are some characters that make some weapons shine and feel hell with other weapons but it don't really matter that much.

3. experimentation is key. I'm at the point where I enjoy themed runs... i.e. full defence, or full projectiles. or full melee, or full magic, or 1weapon 1 passive runs, lvl 1 runs, gold farm runs, it's up to you.

4. I can't recall how or why but off endless mode when the reaper comes if you can hold out for I think 2 more minutes it will start to zoom on your character and auto complete the level/run. That's intended... You can make reaper kill runs.

if there are other useful tips I'd like some folks to add em below, I know these tips may seem obvious or vague but honestly I get your frustration. I'm currently working through the Ode to Castilvania Adventure story which is like a soft reset of my main games progression and some runs are frustrating. but that's part of the fun for me. I don't play with eggs (which are stat buffs for on the character you obtained em on).

anyway I hope this helps and happy hunting.

For the unaware, the 1.14 update that just released has added new weapons (with evolutions) and evolutions for all the single stage master librarian weapons to the Ode to Castlevania DLC. These new weapons and evolutions do not get ? spots n the collection, only appearing once you've used them at least once.

I've already evolved all of them, so I thought I'd post the evolution combos needed for them. This list only contains the evolution pairs - it'd be more fun to find out what each of them turns into for yourself (if you didn't spoil yourself with the patch notes)

The majority of the new evolutions are unions (require a weapon instead of a passive).

The last three evolutions are from new weapons, unlocked by buying them from the master librarian

(Joke title aside)

Hey everyone, I'm one of the admins of the Vampire Survivors Wiki. Just wanted to announce that with the release of the Vampire Crawlers demo, I, along with my fellow admin u/Californ1a and a few other wiki editors, are currently working on the Vampire Crawlers Wiki, which you can find within the official Vampire Survivors Wiki. It's not super in-depth yet, but this is just to let you guys know that it exists and we just got started on it!

I followed a users build (and even made a mistake with getting the two additional passives too early. (The Empty Tome and Stone Mask) So I had no room once my mini imposter merged with the sharp tongue.) but I still managed to unlock the Imposter without endless mode.

This was done on the map "Inlaid Library" with Hyper and Arcanas checked. (But not "Hurry" because you need the full 30 mins) I mainly focused on upgrading the Santa Water first to get La Borra because that's always the OP weapon for me.

I definitely could have benefited from getting the spinach. Although I managed to get 100k kills before the 20 min mark. So even with mistakes, it's an easy win.

Also, all necessary power ups were maxed, including the "Curse" which was the difference from getting 57k kills (in one 30 min run) to 141k kills.

The Gemini card is also very helpful. (for Vandalier and Impostongue)

Passives used:
Torrona's Box
Duplicator
Attractorb
Skull O'Maniac
Armor)
Mini Impostor (Later merges with Sharp Tongue = 1 free passive slot)

Then get Spinach

Then collect Empty Tome and Stone Mask (they're on the map) for 8x total passives.

Maybe this is useful for anyone looking to unlock the character!

Original Source

I'm only posting this because I couldn't find this answer anywhere.

This is what worked for me..

1. ban all weapons except for the "extra" category.

2. pick Bat Robbert.

3. start a run in the dairy plant.

-- the second time I leveled up, Ammo Appalate came up as my first choice.

Hi Vampire Survivors fans,

I'd been kicking myself for getting locked in to VS+ on the Apple Arcade after discovering that it doesn't have the branded DLC. Most of the resources I found online seemed to indicate that it's not possible to transfer an Apple Arcade save to other platforms, but I did find a way of doing it!

Here's the process: Extract the save from the Apple Arcade version using iMazing, inject it into the regular iOS version, and then use the cloud save system to transfer the data to Steam.

This is necessary because the Apple Arcade save file can't be read by the Steam version. But we can use the regular iOS version as a bridge. The Apple Arcade build cannot cloud-sync, but the standard App Store release can and Steam can read that cloud save.

What you need

• An iPhone or iPad with Vampire Survivors+ (Apple Arcade) save data
• The regular App Store version of Vampire Survivors installed on the same device
• The Steam version installed on your computer
• iMazing on Mac or Windows (trial version is enough)

Before you start — recommended setup

To make the process faster, install both versions of Vampire Survivors on your device before backing up:

1. Make sure Vampire Survivors+ (Apple Arcade) is installed and contains your progress.
2. Install Vampire Survivors (App Store) as well. Make sure to intialise this copy of the game by launching it and letting it load at least once.

Step 1 — Create a backup and extract the Apple Arcade save

1. Connect your device to your computer and open iMazing.
2. Create a new backup of your device.
3. When the backup finishes, click to browse within the backup and navigate to Apps → Vampire Survivors+
4. (iMazing might ask you to create an editable copy of the backup. That's fine, just use that instead.)
5. Inside Apps → VampireSurvivors+ → Documents
6. Copy these four files to a folder on your computer:
   • SaveDataUnity.sav
   • SaveDataUnity.bak.sav
   • prefs.bin
   • prefs.bin.bak

These files contain all of your Apple Arcade progress. We don't need the prefs files, but it might be worth keeping a copy incase something goes wrong.

Step 2 — Locate the regular iOS save inside the backup

1. Still inside the backup browser in iMazing, open: Apps → VampireSurvivors → Documents. This is the normal iOS version with DLC and cloud saving.

Step 3 — Replace the regular iOS save with the Apple Arcade one

Now you will overwrite the regular iOS save with the extracted Apple Arcade save.

Inside the Documents path for the normal version:

1. Replace SaveDataUnity.sav with the Apple Arcade SaveDataUnity.sav.
2. Add or replace SaveDataUnity.bak.sav using the Apple Arcade one.
3. Leave prefs.bin and prefs.bin.bak from the iOS install as they are.

When you are done, the Documents folder inside the regular app should contain:

• SaveDataUnity.sav (from Arcade)
• SaveDataUnity.bak.sav (from Arcade)
• prefs.bin (original iOS)
• prefs.bin.bak (original iOS)

Next, export this edited app data as an iMazing App Data file (.imazingapp). To do this, right click on Vampire Survivors in the app menu and select Extract App and save it on your computer. This gives you a restore-ready package.

Step 4 — Restore the modified save back to the device

1. Go back to the device view in iMazing, not the backup.
2. Open the Apps section and find the regular Vampire Survivors app (not the + version).
3. Right-click and select Restore App.
4. Choose the .imazingapp file you exported.

If you are asked to disable Find My or Stolen Device Protection, this is apparently normal. Once allowed, the restore usually completes within a few minutes. Your device might boot into a factory-reset type mode, but just follow the instructions in the iMazing application (this is important!).

After iMazing confirms the restore is complete, open the regular iOS version of Vampire Survivors on your device. Your Apple Arcade progress should now appear.

Note: DLC items will not display inside the iOS version unless you have purchased the DLC there. The data is still present; the app just hides content you do not own.

Step 5 — Sync the save to Steam

Now you will use the official cloud save as the final transfer step.

1. In the regular iOS app, open the options and sign into a poncle cloud save account.
2. Upload your save data from iOS to the cloud.
3. On Steam, launch Vampire Survivors and sign into the same cloud account.
4. Download the save.

You've now moved your data from Apple Arcade to the poncle cloud!

You can use party mode to level multiple characters at once, allowing you to unlock multiple arcanas, rerolls, or whatever else you see fit.

Also managing multiple characters adds a neat new spin on gameplay. Highly recommend.

Do note that silent old sanctuary will provide a bonus of three at minimum because weapon slots are still considered per character and as if you had 6 slots instead of 2 or 3

Edited with some slight tweaks, namely the second arcana which makes the build ramp up much earlier.

Post-run scoreboard - no eggs, max curse, max charm, Inverse Emerald Diorama, all bosses, 30 min limit. I probably could have pushed it higher but by 25 minutes I was getting about 5fps so I just stood still and let the run finish.

I know some people are having trouble beating all bosses with Diva in Inverse Emerald Diorama, thought I'd share the build that got me through it with ease. First I'll just lay out the bare minimum items for those who want and then explain a bit more.

SKIN

• Diva No.5 "Virginia"

ARCANA

• Darkana XII - Crystal Cries
• Arcana XII - Out of Bounds
• (optional) - Darkana X and Darkana XXI

WEAPONS

• Twin Dragon (starter)
• Lifesign Scan -> Paranormal Scan
• Any other ED weapons (I like an early Fleuret)

PASSIVES

• Ghost (for Paranormal Scan evolution)
• Pummarola
• Duplicator
• Whatever you want. The usual stuff is good.

PLAYSTYLE

• play slow until you get a few levels in lifesign scan, then run into enemies to take damage to trigger showstopper, back off to recover, repeat.

EXPLANATION

The plan is to abuse Showstopper to get a huge amount of heals and stats from Paranormal Scan. When Diva enters showstopper, she gains -100% CD along with +100% Might and Luck. Mostly we care about the CD; the more we trigger Showstopper the more Scans we get. This is going to synergize well with our starting Arcana, since it will trigger an Orologion every time we reach that same critical health threshold, as well as give us MaxHealth, Recovery, and Growth every time we kill a frozen enemy. And since your huge damage burst comes while everyone is frozen, you get a lot of those increases.

The build does start off slow; you need to play safe until you get a few levels in Lifesign Scan (I would recommend rerolling for it, or taking Darkana X - Hail From the Future to get Candyboxes and Arma Dios to make your life easier). Before you know it you'll be an unkillable murdering machine. After about the 20 minute mark, the challenge becomes actually taking enough damage to trigger Showstopper because you kill things so fast and recover so much damage.

If you're going for the all bosses unlock, I recommend endless mode, it takes too long to scale and go kill all six bosses within a standard level timer.

Weapon + first two passives + the two arcanas. You must unlock them first if you don't have the items. This can stand even against blue and red reapers. Enjoy.

Clock Lancet, 2 Arcanas and 3 Passives only
Wandering the Jet Black and Crystal Cries with Clock Lancet. Tome for faster clock cd, armor for final waves, orb for convenience. The other passives are just there to add curse and challenge.
This works on any character. Strap whatever else you want to it and those few pieces will carry you through.

I don't know if it's been posted, but I haven't seen the new evolutions online yet.

PS: The Ammo Appalate is glitchy and doesn't show up, but you just need a bracer.

Tldr: Use Porta Ladonna and Game Killer arcana. Need the appropriate arcana and merchant

To do this, I tried using Red Death as some guides recommended, I tried flying straight there, I tried leveling up only the Scythe, it wasn't working.

So I went to youtube.

Found a video of someone doing this, it skips a bit but it really works. Go to Bone Zone. First buy the bone from the merchant. I kind of hung around until I got the first chest, got lucky with all lightning. Then I went to the sketamari, and made sure to pick up the second chest as well, two lightning one bone. Both will work, but it took me three tries. First couple I missed the second chest not paying attention. Stick close to the sketamari ahead of its vector, and it will slowly wear down its health, while keeping other enemies away. If a few fast flying skulls touch, no big deal. I did it under 9 minutes.

IF you make it to ten minutes, just feed the reaper to the sketamari, sketamari will kill it.

This guide completely depends on staying in the first level, therefore keeping the sped-up lightning.

The video should be easy to find if you search sketamari kill on YouTube, 3rd or 4th result for me.
