Unlock arcanas. The unlocks screen from the main menu is your quest log.

New update, includes 2 new achievements:
New Content
- 2 Extra Achievements
- 1 new Power Up
- 1 new Challenge Stage
- 1 new Secret
Tweaks
- Improved loading times of the pause menu
New Unlocks info (spoilers?)
___Tiny Bridge Challenge stage:
- Obtain by reaching Level 80 in Inverse Gallo Tower
Seal PowerUp:
- 10 ranks
- base price: 10.000
- Obtain by banishing 10 or more items in a single run.
- Allows to Banish an item from level up choices, or a pickup from light sources. Use in COLLECTION menu.
When Sealing a weapon, it will be automatically added to the list of banished weapons at the start of a run. When Sealing an item, the item will not be removed from the loot table, but will turn into a Gold Coin instead, which means this does not affect standard drop rates.
Also, sorry for the extra achievements ruining your completion rate, most players seem to be in favor of having them so I took the opportunity to add more. The best I could come up with to make them feel less of a "must have" is to tag them as EXTRA achievements.

Xbox game pass Save on steam? :: Vampire Survivors General Discussions
Hi, I have played this game a lot on Xbox game pass, I unlock almost all of the achievement, but I think the version on xbox game pass is quite late, I'm thinking on play it on steam, is it possible to transfer the save from xbox game pass to steam?

It depends on your play style. I think most of them are worth upgrading. Avoid curse until you're end-game. You can refund your purchases without penalty, so experiment with the different upgrades. Revives can help a lot through pretty much every point in the game. Duplicator becomes mandatory at a certain point.
For first map, garlic is your best bet to get to the boss. Once you beat it, the next level will unlock.

Garlic + Laurels to mitigate the damage.
You can put points into the correlating stat for Laurels, I think its the Cooldown stat.

Tips on killing the reaper? I made 33 minutes and that man still wouldn’t die. Did evolve water, Bible and wand

Literally just played my first run, I understand now.
It was the laurel and the freeze enemy thing that you need to evolve and it should all be easy from there.

Dunno if it's tips but..
Basically got +movement, black bird, wand, blood whip, health restore, cherry bombs, axes, duplicator, knives... Maybe something else ...
And I just ran south letting it chase me but running away from the beams with ease and letting the wand, bird, and axes do their do their job and any damage healed up fast.

Garlic and Bible are the best weapons if you're still new to the game. Make sure to get the amount powerup as early as you can to basically double your damage right from the start.
Antonio, Genarro, and Mortacio should be able to finish any stage for you until you find others you personally like.

reaper has 655350 HP x level skill so the higher level you are when it spawns, the more hp it has. but the easiest way to kill it now is to use the evolved lancet or laurel. You need Yellow Sign first to find the items needed to evolve them on the map.

I had the wildest run so far, reaching lvl 80 in the Inlaid Library. Maxed out the skills at 22 minutes or so and from there only got the two big coin bag and +30 health chicken up to 30 minutes where Death appeared and sat on my face. Game Over.
Are you supposed to be able to kill Death as well or is it meant to be insta-death at 30 minutes?

Thanks. I thought maybe there was a window to react to Death appearing and keep going.
Evoed the whip and axe on this run which was accidental but seemed to be a great combination.

Evolved lancet & laurel. There is an arcana you unlock that will make getting the evolve accessories really easy.

Starting this again on XBox now it's on GamePass. Put about thirty hours in on Steam prior to going to play God Of War.
Going just by value for money, this game is GOTY by a long way.

HoloCure is far better, but still an addictive fun time

Just wanted to give a shout out to this VS-like game. It just came out last month and it's only $1 now on Steam, very much worth it. A shame this one didn't gain much of an audience as it's very enjoyable

This one?
Nice, I'll give this one a shot tonight.

Yep. Based on HoloLive talents. Really fun, well paced, gacha mechanic that doesn’t require spending any real money (because you can’t).

What is Hololive?

HoloLive is a japanese idol agency that creates groups of Virtual Youtubers and is owned by the company Cover. There are various branches worldwide such as the Japanse Branch, Indonesian Branch, and English Branch. Highly talented men and women stream using anime avatars and hide their personal identities while playing a "character" that is equal parts them and not them. Personally the only streamers I think are worth a damn.
HoloCure is a game based on Vampire Survivors made by fans where you play as a current small selection of around 15 IIRC characters based on some of the more popular HoloMems in the west.
TL;DR HoloLive is Cute Anime Girls streaming games and HoloCure is a fanmade Vampire Survivor Clone that surpasses the original in every way. Except maybe the music?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
The game was designed from the outset to only last a certain amount of time that you have to survive. The reaper at the 30-minute mark was just the developer's way of ending the game without just having a "you win" screen.
The fact that he can be killed later on - you guys are focusing way too much on this.

It's not an exploit, it's the mechanic they give you. It's only one of the end-game events so it's ok to skip until you are prepared better.

Having to have a certain char, to place yourself near a table with the arrow missile, and kill mobs outside of range to make reaper spawn and you have to move fast to get all the xp so you can level up fast to kill the reaper of you are lucky is either an exploit or really bad game design.

What you're describing is an exploit to do this sooner than the game gives you the actual tools to accomplish the job naturally.

How can you do it later naturally?

Continue to earn achievements and upgrade in the menu. You will eventually have the drops that can allow you to safely kill the reaper and continue playing. There is slight RNG, but there are numerous builds you can choose on the fly that will defeat him.

Once you unlock the Yellow Sign (obtained in the Holy Forbidden after defeating the last boss in the Moonglow level) you can see the "hidden" items on stages. These hidden items are the Gold Ring and Silver Ring (used to evolve the Clock Lancet) and the Metaglio Left and Metaglio Right (used to evolve the Laurel). These items are scattered pretty far apart on each map, so it's easiest to obtain the Mad Groove arcana by reaching 31 minutes on the Mad Forest level. This can be done easily with an upgraded clock lancet and tiramagu. With Mad Groove activated, the items will all center themselves on you every two minutes.
So - the easiest way to beat the reaper is to evolve both of these items, which will freeze the reaper in place and limit him to only being able to do a max of 10 damage to you at once (instead of instantly killing you). Combine this with something like the evolved whip, and you'll gain more life than he's able to take away. Depending on what other items you have equipped, and how much damage they do, you should be able to beat him pretty quickly.
Keep in mind, this is just one way of doing this - there are several other builds that make this possible, but this is the one I've personally found to be the easiest.

Nothing magical happens with the reaper. Runs being limited to 30 mins is a huge boost for me. Having hurry mode further shorten is even better. I gave up on Dead Cells when the runs crept past 30 mins. There’s just a certain level of respect a game needs to have of my time. Same reason I stopped playing Civ games after a decade plus.

Well I ran through that new update insanely quick. Guess it's time to shelf it again until the next one.

, you're a freaking twat. I was bored so I got this game thinking I would hate it. I'm at a hotel in Missouri for a work event I need to attend, and it's just after 1:00 AM. I've been playing this for 8 hours, and I have to be up in 4 hours so my boss and I can get some stuff setup for a conference. I hate you so much.
