I am not sure I would even notice a bug if it happened. My primary strategy is to run around like a maniac killing things. I think that’s why my favorite character so far is the guy with the garlic built in. Just pure running over stuff.
I have a question for the more experienced players. I started the game recently when I noticed it on game pass. I’ve been playing the hell out of it lately , but I am in a bit of an impasse.
I started the level that looks like the first garden level, but says something about random chaos. Anyway I finally got the Crimson Cloak just before the 30 minute mark. Death showed up and killed me fairly quickly me quickly. But I have the arcana card and etc set up for 5 or so revives. Each revive i survived longer. The last time I revived, I just headed south, deadhand on the stick really. Death was hitting me I was hitting him, and the minutes ticket past. I am now at over 45 minutes on pause with a screen full of deaths,still headed south, wondering if there is a point to this. can you kill him(s) am I stuck in a purgatory forever heading south pounding back and forth with no progress? I could stop and see if he kills me, of course. and I doubt anyone is around, but just in case i am very curious.
Ummm, Never mind, bad timing on a post…
I decided to start it up and head south again, Literally less than 10 seconds after unpause the deaths disappeared, a gong started playing and then a Spelunky ghost killed me.
But I got a conclusion and a new character …

for tomorrow, That was too tense
Red deaths are killable, as are other colors. White is not though, that’s just game over. I once got a glitched out run where I wasn’t dying despite being mobbed by Red Deaths for something like an hour.
Once you get the map, you can look at that to see where any secret/mystery items are.
Cool, so I guess I did kill it. Damn that took a while. I like the gun chick(Pugnala sounds feminine, not sure though) and got evolved guns, cloak, garlic, bible, and runes and also lancet was there because at one point I thought I would be able get the Eternal Corridor too, but should have taken holy water… But that is mostly my idea an ideal build from what I have seen, and it still it took foreeeeeeever.
Do the deaths all share a health pool and split damage as more show up? That would explain why they died togteher, and might explain my survival, since only 3 could hit me at a time.
Anyway, thanks for the answer, and I’m loving the game. Will certainly be back to pester for info.
holy crap I beat the bone zone and got the scrolls last night … but I might have screwed something up …
I used the first character from the expansion and I was surprised I got it …
I did the eudaimonia thing and got reverse mode and endless mode but it didn’t have the boss fight and now it’s not there … did they take it out or something?
I assumed that was a special boss and it didn’t spawn after you beat it. But I didn’t see an answer if it does respawn searching, just people saying it wasn’t spawning.
Some content is one-time if you beat it.
If you mean the final stage, you need to play each mode before it reappears. (Obviously you don’t need to finish Endless.)
RE: Pugnala is basically Bayonetta, with the sprites based on 1 and 2.
I did it about 4-5 days ago, and the boss fight was there then
yeah, i beat the inverted mode on the library and it showed back up and started the “fight” its more of a “survive” ting that an actual fight.
ok how do i to the piano puzzle? i cant figure out how to do it and clicking the one button that seems to do anything just takes me out of it …
I think this works:
Go to the Inlaid Library, inverted and lasts forever. Get Peachone and Ebony Wings but do not combine/evolve them. Defeat the Purple Reaper playing the piano. Sit behind the piano and the birds will fly in and land on a key. Press the key they land on. Wait for the next bird and do the same. I think there are five of them (maybe six). Then you get sent to a new area. Open all the coffins. I think that is it.
For those interested, a YouTuber (ChristopherOdd) has started a series of Vampire Survivors playthroughs. The interesting bit is he only started playing the game five days ago (never touched it before).
So, you get to see someone learning the game from square one and find yourself mentally shouting at him when he makes mistakes (very understandable mistakes we all made). Seeing the learning curve is fun.
He also finds some solutions I never did. In his latest run he finished for the first time (all 30 minutes) with very low damage and only reached level 37. But, he maxed clock lancet and just ran in circles through frozen enemies which didn’t hurt him. I was never a big fan of clock lancet but hey…it worked.
Here is his first video in the series:
I am going to ask a dumb baby question: how to you unlock future levels? For while it was kind of just happening and I wasn’t sure how but eventually it stalled. I have bonus level available but that just seems to be a way to get stuff and not a real level. What am I supposed to do on my current level to make the next one unhidden? Thanks.
you have to get the characters to certain levels in other levels
there is a 100 percent guide on steam that’s really helpful but I don’t know how to link to it (edit I didn’t know they’d give you links ) it also gives you everything you can get in a level
I just used the in-game Unlocks page as a guide. I think perhaps once or twice I couldn’t figure out how to do something, and consulted an online guide, but most seemed straightforward (“reach level 100 with Pugnalo”). Or maybe I’m misunderstanding.
Ever see a character that has Pentagram go off about once every 1-2 seconds (not evolved)? Here it is (queued to where you can see it happening so no need to watch the whole thing…crazy build):
Is that using one of those arcana cards where the duration cycles between really fast and really slow but the average is still faster than normal?
It was a combo of things including the character’s abilities and being very careful and judicious in upgrades and so on. The YouTuber was very much trying to “break” the game by maxing out some aspects as far as he could take them.
Actually my problem was I never really read what was on that screen very carefully so this was what I needed. Thanks.
