    Can someone link the patch notes? I couldn’t read the text in the video because of the contrast combined with my cataract.

    Thanks! Sounds like I missed some content since I haven’t played the game in a while. I’ll have to fire it up when I have some free time.

    The DLC is out.
    And in the UK at least, on Steam it's cheaper to buy it as a package deal with the game even when you already have the game, so there's that.
    I'd hoped it would give me an extra copy of the game to gift out, but no such luck.

    Yeah, I just stopped trying to move because I couldn't see the paths on my first run when I went a bit too hard.

    The first new character can get pretty damn busted.

    Sarabande of Healing, Pummerola, Garlic, and maybe the Bloody Tear whip upgrade, and you’re not going to die easily to anything with all the healing you have.

    Really like the new environment, and the music gives off strong Wagakki Band vibes, which is rad

    Took me a few tries to beat it. Used no eggs, which I'm not used to anymore, but I thought it'd be appropriate to beat it with Scorej-Oni first.

    I am finding it quite a bit more difficult, but not impossible. Of course, I have never really gone ham on eggs, and I'm using the new characters.

    I am a little sad that between the map, the unlock list, and the grimoire, I did not naturally figure out anything.

    You should try going ham on eggs. It’s a delicious breakfast.

    OK, Babi-Onna with the Pentagram might just be absolutely friggin' busted. The only issue is that she erases stuff so often that actually gaining EXP after picking up the Pentagram is a challenge. If you wanna try that, best to stock up on attractorb and crown, and then try to stockpile a bunch of EXP somewhere so that you can get the Pentagram upgrades ASAP.

    The DLC map takes a bit of getting used to. It's weird having to actually navigate places instead of just beelining. Also one time I walked too close to a cave and got swarmed by tanky ass ogres.

    Yeah it took my brain a few tries to get used to having actual paths and obstacles and such, but it's a cool addition overall.

    I like what they do with it, but climbing the mountain with an eggless character is *brutal*

    e: I still wish we could put eggs into specific aspects (up to a certain threshold obv). I would, for example, love to not worry about rerolls and toy around with different builds without having the stats be completely insane at the same time

    Having actual paths to follow makes me wish the map could actually show the map, rather than just locations of things.
    I spent 20 minutes getting lost trying to get to stuff, then finally gave up and got the arcana to just bring everything to me. That left the coffin, which I just managed to track down in time.

    I know I don't need to do it on the new map, but getting 100k kills is surprisingly tough! Almost had it today... But the final waves just don't actually die and instead just get knocked back, so I got 95k with the dual fang dude.

    All the enemies on the mountain scaling their hp with your level is just... A pain.

    Don't all enemies scale with level? That was key to killing Death back when it was an exploit.

    In their bios it is specifically called out as a special thing.

    Just get enough weapon effects on screen that the game lags and lets you push through solid walls when you walk against them!

    Humorously I can do this while running the game with my integrated graphics card, but letting the GPU handle things allows it to keep up.

    I'll take the navigation and faster runs over the lag.

    I went back to the starting map, and the distances felt insane! I guess the squares on the map really are in scale.

    Just beat my first Danger 5 run on Brotato:

    qut5w1gqps8k.png

    Running 4 Ghost Flints got me 269% attack speed, and 2 Ghost Axes for 132% damage. I face tanked both double bosses, they died in under 3 seconds. On wave 15 I hit a Plasma Fist, then the Plasma Hammer on 17 and again on 19.

    @Athenor I just had the most ridiculous run as the Streamer on Danger 2. I went Ethereal melee for damage and attack speed stacking, and was raking in 1000+ currency per round. I picked up Rip and Tear on wave 10 and again on wave 14, and the explosions chain, which is madly stupidly overpowered. And the explosions set off Cyberball. Which can set off more explosions. Which can set off more Cyberballs.

    New Patch for Vampire Survivors just dropped. Get to level 80 on Inverse Mad Forest to unlock Bat Country, a new map that has two new relics. The first relic gives you Charm, which is a quantity increase for monster spawns (so curse but no downside?). The 2nd unlocks Morphing Mortacio, which is automatically applied with you get Mort to level 80 after acquiring the relic.

    Saw Credits roll on Vampire Survivors yesterday. Still need to complete the Collection and do all the DLC stuff though, so it's not over yet. Bat Country was more fun than some of the other challenge levels, I must say.

    Edit: Boss Rash down, I'm sure there was a more efficient way to handle that...

    Edit 2: I thought there was a bunch of work left, but it was literally just "choose that firework weapon you've never used yet." So that's all the core game achievements. Secret characters and DLC left.

    I would say "And that's a wrap" since I cleared all the DLC achievements yesterday, but I found a list of how to get all the Secret characters, so I'll probably grab all of them before taking a break for more likely content updates. Might not grind up the cash to buy them all since that would give me stuff to do in the event of another content update or DLC, though.

    Okay, a bit of Vampire Survivors confusion. I unlocked the last secret character (there are 15 [edit correction: 16, in fact] according to every source I've checked on) and now the Secret menu reads "15/16". Is that a glitch or was there a 16th secret of some kind? Every box on the list is checked off...

    When you think you've unlocked everything, more shit shows up. It's pretty nutty.

    It was a glitch after all. Turning the game off completely and then returning to it changed the numbering to 16/16... Annoyingly on my last run, I was earning cash to buy one of the unlocked characters (price is >$300k!) and the game crashed to dashboard, so that was $100k in the trash.

    I am having so much trouble trying to get the unlock from inverted mad forest.

    For some reason, I'm having a hell of a time trying to survive. And when I do, the enemies are such bullet sponges that I can't collect enough EXP to keep up with the curve or reach level 80 by 30 minutes.

    Am I going to have to refund my upgrades and buy less Curse?

    Things that I've found helpful:
    -If you have it, take the three free revives tarot card. Basically ensures a successful build unless you create pure gutter trash (my build the other day with fireworks + garlic + boomerangs... with no spinach. It was like gently pushing them with pillows.)
    - You basically need a way to maintain health until your damage locks in, Armor + Pummarola is the gold standard, but you can also take Crown + Attractorb to just put your build together much faster.
    - Focus on one really good weapon (taking the first level of others is fine to add volume) in your first 20 levels or so. Near to max Bible or Whip can carry an otherwise weak setup for a while.
    - If you have Seal unlocked, Seal some stuff you definitely will not use (I'm often sealing daggers or guns since they're not very useful without a specific setup, imo).
