How to unlock secret characters in Vampire Survivors

How to Unlock Exdash

Besides 11 characters unlocked during the game, Vampire Survivors also has a mysterious character, Exdash.

To unlock Exdash, players just need to open Vampire Survivors and type x-x1viiq when entering the main menu of the game. Alternatively, the Clover Drop can be collected to unlock this character, with a chance of 1/65535.

Speed ​​is the key to owning this secret character. Gamers need to enter the above characters and do not need to press anywhere else. If this is done correctly, everyone will find Exdash in the character selection screen upon access and can use this character for the next battle.

Exdash is an interesting and different character, with negative changes applied to Movement Speed, Strength, Area, Speed, and Duration. Also, the secret character has an active summoner applied to the Cooldown, making it a real challenge to survive with this character. However, Exdash has +100% Luck and here is a complete list of their base stats for curious players:

• Max Health: 77
• Movement Speed: -10%
• Strength: -10%
• Area: -10%
• Speed: -50%
• Duration: -10%
• Cooldown: +10%
• Luck: +100%

Obviously, Exdash’s Luck is the main strength, as that stat can make some positive impact. More specifically, Luck reduces the chance of an adverse situation, like a swarm of bats, while also improving the chance of getting high-quality chests and good items from killing braziers.

How to unlock MissingNo

The Vampire Survivors player community has worked hard to uncover the game’s various mysteries. And the most enigmatic character MissingNo, aka Death, is another one of the more interesting secrets to be discovered.

Unlocking MissingNo is a process, editing some game files. What gamers need to do is increase the damage output on any damage item. For the easiest implementation, Garlic is an optimal choice. Follow the steps below to unlock MissingNo in Vampire Survivors.

First, access the game’s root directory. If the location is not known, try the path Steam\steamapps\common\Vampire Survivors.

Search main.bundle.js, the file with the source code in it. Navigate to resources > apps > .webpack > renderer and the file will be there.

Full path to the file: Steam\steamapps\common\Vampire Survivors\resources\app\.webpack\renderer.

Right click on main.bundle.js > choose Edit withe Notepad++ and find the code of your favorite weapon, which in this tutorial will be Garlic.

Press Ctrl + F and enter Garlic (or other weapon name). Now, gamers need to find where Garlic’s source code is set up and change the number to the desired power (99999999 or higher).

Record the original strength so that it can be undone after successfully defeating Death. Next, the player needs to save the file, choose a character with a starting weapon of Garlic, and play the game.

Once past the 30 minute mark, people may notice that the game is not over yet. There will be no victory screen where players give up on their own.

Don’t forget to change the weapon’s value back to its original mark, or uninstall and reinstall the game, both ways undoing the item’s power back to normal.

How to unlock O’Sole Meeo

O’Sole Meeo is the first animal character in Vampire Survivors, added in update 0.5.1. This is a dog whose starting weapon is the Celestial Drub.

To unlock this character, the player must defeat a total of 3000 Dragon Shrimp. Fortunately, locating this enemy is not too difficult.

Players who are hunting for Dragon Shrimp should turn their attention to Gallo Tower. For those who haven’t started, this stage is unlocked by reaching level 60 in Dairy Plant.

Dragon Shrimp waves appear there at 4 different times, including: 11 minutes, 17 minutes, 20 minutes and 29 minutes. Gamers need to try their best to get to the last wave of Dragon Shrimp, because it has a very large number of these enemies.

How to unlock Red Death

To unlock Red Death, the player needs to defeat the Reaper that appears at the end of the level. This is quite a difficult task, but it can be done with the right strategy. Players should note that killing Reaper requires precise placement and should do their best to accurately reproduce the tutorial images below.

Even when done correctly, many gamers die before 30 minutes. So be prepared to have to repeat this process many times to unlock Red Death.

How to unlock Boon Marrabbio

Boon Marrabbio is the latest secret character to be introduced to Vampire Survivors, and is extremely powerful if properly built. The requirement to unlock this character is to collect 100 floor chicken and is quite difficult to complete in 1 play.

Once the collection of 100 floor chicken is completed, the player needs to play the Mad Forest stage. Here, gamers need to collect items that are Pummarola and Skull O’Maniac.

After collecting Skull O’Mainiac, players will notice cakes starting to appear on the ground. These cakes heal the character exactly like the chicken floor, 30 points for each cake hit.

When these cakes are consumed, they will appear more. If the player traces the pies, they will eventually encounter a shadowy version of Nesuferit, the boss of the Inlaid Library.

Marrabbio is an interesting character with passive bonuses of Curse +10%, Greed -80%, Max Health +20, Might +20%, Move Speed ​​+30% and projectile speed -110%.

Negative projectile speed causes Marrabbio’s projectile to move in reverse. However, since most players will probably buy Speed ​​Power-ups, Marrabbio’s projectile will either move forward extremely slowly or hang in the air.

Weapons that work well with Marrabbio’s passive bonus are Magic Wand, Cross, Ebony Wings, Peachone, Death Spiral, Eight the Sparrow, Phiera Der Tuphello, and Fire Wand. Ax, King Bible and Bone are almost unusable at such slow speeds.

How to unlock Queen Sigma

To unlock Queen Sigma, the player needs to complete the Collection, which currently has 122 items. The collection is accessed from the main menu and keeps track of what items the player has unlocked and found. Collections include weapons, passive items, collectibles, relics, and arcanas.

It’s often easy for new players to skip completing the Collection, while veteran gamers who have worked hard to unlock all the characters, weapons, and arcanas will have less trouble unlocking Queen Sigma.

If you’ve started with the full Collection, the player may need to play first and then exit the level for Queen Sigma to appear during character selection. Players do not need to spend gold to unlock Sigma in the character selection screen.

Queen Sigma’s passive bonuses:
