Vampire Survivors: Secret Character Unlocking.

 Ah... Vampire Survivors. It's pretty big right now. And it has a lot of secrets to uncover. In this post I will cover the best and easiest way to unlock these characters. (I still don't have all of them so I will update this later.) NOTE: All characters require ether the Yellow Sign relic or the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbaine relic unless noted.

1: The Mask of the Red Death

Most likely the most famous secret character, Red is unlocked after killing the final enemy in each stage: The Reaper. The Reaper appears at each levels time limit. To eliminate him there are a couple different methods. He is also unlockable by using the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbaine relic and casting the spell: ablasphemousmockery. (Thats what I did.) To kill the reaper the only method I know well is to use fellow Reaper character: MissingN[] (More on him later) who can spawn immortal. NOTE: There is also a method using Toastie at level 200. More on that: HERE. The MissingN[] method goes like this: the Reaper spawns with extra hp depending on your level. so, it is advised to NOT get xp gems. Basically, go AFK for 30 minutes or play and avoid gems so the Reaper will have less hp. When he shows up you can grab as many gems as you wish and snag weapons from level ups. You also want to snag chests after you max out items to get evos. this should kill the Reaper.  I will tell you how he handles in an upcoming post. (Same with some others) you do NOT need the scrolls or sign, but some methods are ether only possible or insanely easier with them.

2: MissingN[]

This guy is weird. All of his stats are completely randomized. For example, his stats could be HP: -1(Immortal) Might: 293% Curse: 193% Move Speed: -300% Area: 1% and cooldown + 200%. There are 2 methods to unlock him. the first is to fall off the edge of the world in green acers. NOT MAD FOREST.  to do this you must head southwest for a little while and strange winged enemies should appear. kill 128 of them. This character is a direct reference to the glitch Pokémon Missingno from the gen 1 Pokémon titles. MissingN[] is also unlockable by casting the spell: rightninetyseven.(I did this) I still have not played a run as him as of this writing due to his CRAZY high price.

3: Big Trouser

Also known as the merchant, Trouser's unlock method requires you to leave moonglow with all 16 pickups maxed out. You can do this via stage clear or quitting the level. You do NOT need the scrolls or sign to get him. The best way to do this is to start with a secret character who starts with a weapon evo and can move fast. I used the Reaper. You will want to set your max weapons to 1 (This makes sure that the only items you get in the level up menu are the ones you picked up.) and use the Reaper as he is insanely fast and deals plenty of damage. chests are also useful as they can help you level up the items quicker. Trouser starts with Candybox and +1% greed each level. Candybox allows you to select any weapon that you have unlocked. (No evos though.) This works well if you want to level up a specific item. Trouser is also a gold farmer.

4: Gains Boros

Boros is unlocked by finding flowers in Bone Zone. They are really easy to find if you have the Yellow Sign, but he is still unlockable without it. You can also cast the spell: highfive. To find him you need to go to where the Silver Ring item is. (Yellow sign makes it appear) And then head up. after a little while you should see a green circle with flowers in it. head to the center of this and let them heal you. after a couple seconds the character unlock chime plays and he should be in the menu. He starts with a +2 growth bonus that increases every level. (This makes him a good choice for unlocking Trousers and other characters that require weapon level-ups) 

5: Toastie

One of the weirder characters in the game Toastie begins with a literal 1 max health. Toastie, however at level 100 he gains 9998 HP and at level 200 he gains 65520 Armor. He is a very uneven character, and his starting weapon is NOT great. His unlock process is odd: Step 1: unlock his brother Exdash. (More about this ↓) Step 2: Kill a non-red Reaper. This means the Pink Trickster, The Green Stalker or the Blue Drowner. Stalker appears in Dairy Plant and Drowner shows up in Gallo Tower. (Trickster spawns in an Inverse area and Boss Rash.) The Yellow Maddener from Cappella Magna does NOT count. Upon killing your target Toastie should show up screaming "PANINI!" from the bottom right corner of the screen. As soon as you see him press Down arrow plus Enter for the PC players. for WASD players S does not work it must be the Down arrow. I have absolutely NO idea how to do this with console (My platform of choice) so instead for players on Xbox and the like you can cast the spell: tramezzini using the scrolls. still Exdash must be unlocked for this to work. You have to cast a spell to unlock Exdash in order to get access to Toastie at all.

6: Exdash Exiviiq

Most likely the easiest secret character to unlock, Exdash is the first of the Ghost brothers. Unlocking him is super easy. just use the Scrolls to cast x-x1viiq and you have him. The scrolls literally tell you exactly how to get him. He is much like Toastie in terms of combat except his max HP can go into the 90 to 100 range with power ups. the rest of his stats except luck have a -10% disadvantage without powerups. He spawns with a 100% luck bonus and a sucky starter weapon as Ebony Wings is not the place to be when you're as slow as he is.

7: Smith IV

Smith is the 3rd of the Ghost brothers and starts with the bird union Vandalier. His unlock method is odd too. It's some awkward sequence of typing "spam" into the menu. here's how it works: NOTE: this only works on PC and if you have both Exdash and Toastie. Console players will have to cast the spell: maybeiamastallion. Step 1: type spam into the main menu. this will start a hidden 30 second timer. next type spam into the character select. then do the same for stage select. then start a run and enter humbug. when you leave, he should be available. Smith is also an awkward character because of his max 7 hp and -50% move speed.

8: Random

Random. The name says it all. In fact, his name will change every time you enter the menu. He starts with a random weapon that you have unlocked and a random name that gives you random stat boosts. He is a strange character. His unlock process is simple. in each level find the coffins. (This is not required but it makes it easier.)

Next use the map to find any coffin again. head to the coffin and open it again. the enemies that guarded it originally will be back. upon opening it a question mark should leap out of it and the coffin unlock noise should play. he should appear in the character select. Sign and Scrolls are NOT needed.

9: Boon Marrabbio

Another odd character, Boon is the Mad Forest character. He starts with Thousand Edge except it is insanely slow. it makes a sort of knife trail, and all other weapons are affected by his -110% projectile speed. He also starts with -80% greed and 10% Curse as well. Looking for gold? do NOT use this guy. His unlock method is semi-simple Step 1: go to Mad Forest. I recommend using Impostor Rina. (DLC) her Rampage boosts help speed this up. The Reaper may also work well. Step 2: grab Curse (Skull) and Pummarola (Red Heart.) After this you should see a trail of pies. follow these and you should see a black Wizard. Kill him. after you kill him, Boon should be unlocked. You can also just cast: fettinepanate.

10: Minnah Mannarah

Once again, ANOTHER odd character. Every minute Minnah's: Might, Projectile speed, Area, Duration, and Cooldown change. The unlock method for Minnah is to "Steal cheese from the Dairy Plant." To do this you must enable Arcanas and have the Arcana: Mad Groove. or check your map for a floor chicken and go towards it. This "Chicken" may be the Cursed Cheese. Mad Groove brings it right to you. (If you don't have this arcana, you can cast laforza to get it.) upon picking it up seven werewolf bosses will spawn and attack you. kill them and you should have Minnah. You can also just cast: foldinthecheese. 

11: Gyorunton

Gyorunton is the Boss Rash character. to unlock him you must survive it with only one weapon. there are 2 ways to make this possible by being AFK. 1: MissingN[]. If MissingN[] has negative HP in the menu then he is immortal, and you can just leave him there until the 15:00 time limit. next there is the DLC character Ghost Lino. (My method.) You can leave him there and it works easily. If you don't have these characters, I would recommend activating Hurry Mode and setting your max weapons to 1 in the menu. I have yet to play as Gyo, but he apparently gains +1% Curse every level and can find evos in any treasure chest. Plus 2 revives. You can also just cast: secondevolution.

And that's all the Vampire Survivors Secret Character Data I have now. I will update this post soon with more unlock information on the other few secret characters. I will also rank some of these characters in an upcoming post: Vampire Survivors Character Ranks. See you!
