Godlike Garlic VS The Hardest Mode in Vampire Survivors

✵Playlist: • Vampire Survivors General
Today we limit break Garlic and can take a second Arcana right at the start thanks to Inverse Mode - however this also means enemies have 3x the amount of HP and HP scaling. Since we already struggled a ton in the past without the tripling of HP, I expected this wouldn't last very long, but it turns out that Garlic is a lot stronger than I thought initially.

The thumbnail made me realize I'm not the only one thinking about that garlic icon.

[@menlover555]

its well placed

[@somethinginventive153]

Balls

Avert your eyes away from the psuedo peach

[@RosieTheProti]

Bro looking a bit pent up 💀

[@mashiron146]

Kinda nuts

[@MiTheRage]

the thumbnail is so perfect to explain how much u love the garlic😂

[@fwayhs7052]

YES LOL

[@Appledirt]

The reason the damage seems low is because Divine Bloodline doesn't actually increase might. It isn't might and the flat bonus, it's just the flat bonus.

[@DexTag]

The ironic part is that I know that but I keep forgetting it the moment I check the Might stat xD because my brain jumps to "isn't worth it to increase Might"

[@batcrow6224]

Yes I am happy hearing BOOOGALO OF ILLUUUUUUSIOOONS even if it wasn't used

[@gasYotube]

It's not a Dex video if it doesn't say that.

[@adolfolerito6744]

Hey Dex, your biggest Italian fan is here again! So, the NFT’s acronym in the game is “Nduja Fritta Tanto”, which is roughly translated with “very fried nduja”. The “nduja” is a sort of very tasty but brutally spicy salame traditionally made in the region of Calabria, which is known for being that place where people will get genuinely pissed at you if you refuse to add the concoction of brimstone and smoldering magma that they call “a tiny bit of spicy dusting” to whatever you’re eating 😅 So yeah, now you know the secret of the NFT… which will burn your ass IRL, exactly like too much nduja!

[@Mythraen]

How big are you? And in which dimensions?! ... Fun fact, capsaicin ("spice") tolerance is a thing. So, for them, it probably really is a "tiny bit of spicy dusting."

[@jcdenton7564]

fun fact: just a couple of grams of pure capsaicin is enough to kill you

[@Mythraen]

@@jcdenton7564 Not sure that's true, but it's not exactly easy to acquire pure capsaicin. Also, if someone has an _extreme_ tolerance built up, even if there is an amount that can kill an ordinary person, it may not have that effect on such a person.

[@adolfolerito6744]

@@jcdenton7564 maybe it won’t kill you, but sure as hell you’ll be needing a new asshole after you’re done with the toilet

[@tanvirlabib8160]

damn we got back the perfect thumbnail lmao

[@Oxhmxn]

I JUST REALIZED THAT AFTER THIS COMMENT

[@AuraPanda]

I haven't played VS for a long while but goddamn is this video making me want to play. It's just so satisfying to see the damage numbers, the kill count, the levels.

[@Dr.UldenWascht]

I just came to say, that the thumbnail truly deserves some sort of prize.

[@pskry]

I'll give the thumbnail a garlic/10.

[@DubStorm]

'Nduja = food from south Italy Fritta Tanto = italian for "fried a lot" There are a lot of italian memes and references in this game and I understand that non-italian speaking players can find hard pronouncing items in the game!😊

[@deadbeataffiliates]

Damn boy that garlic hangin

[@Oxhmxn]

incredible balls on the thumbnail

[@WarbandLiveVideo]

I did it! After ~ 15 attempts =) I managed to beat garlic inverse level brake and it was climatic! You definitely need to try again. I used: season, sanctuary, astronomy and awake. Barely survived with 0 revivals left. Epic!

[@mattio79]

gold fever with sarabande of healing does some serious damage too, especially if you include blood

[@frankmckenneth9254]

garlic is indeed one of the weapons of all time.

[@toozigooti]

"One of the most well known weapons in Vampire Survivors..." Balls. It's not garlic. It's balls.

[@Gunth0r]

old balls, to be exact

[@peacemain8472]

The thumbnail looks kinda SUS. The garlic there looks like a pair of B-AL-L-GORYTHM!!! And thanks for the "BoI"SFX. Mist it the first time. Allways have your deep reverbed voice in my head when seeing the Arcna in my game.

[@clarenced5770]

i'm glad you picked tragic princess

[@tree_eats]

11/10 thumbnail, Dex. Have yet to watch the video and you've already got me chuckling.

[@Fishman465]

It is a very dex thumbnail.

[@tobias4839]

bro got THE BALLS in the thumbnail like fr fr

[@RuneFactoryandElonaMobileGreat]

that garlic 🤣🤣🤣 old man got balls

[@manhngo2907]

Atlanteans: YOU STINKY!!

[@ShoFox]

I just started the game afew days ago.. I.. what is all this ahhh I am so overwhelmed but also so hyped to see all this myself

[@RodrigoVieira-yq7vd]

The position of the garlic icon in the thumbnail 😁

[@Khalirei]

I see what you did there with the thumbnail lol, good job.

[@stratometal]

I find that when I need horologions they barely spawn, if any, even when I pick the arcana that supposedly increases the chance of them dropping. For the new glass fandango it makes it OP when you freeze enemies but somehow the game knows and it just won't let you have any. So yea I get his frustration when he doesn't get any flaming spicy meatballs

[@BerialPhantom]

just go big trouser and pick garlic, already a better poe than poe from the start

[@eonchaosorder4662]

You can double check me but I'm pretty sure for bloodastronomia (with garlic) it's size is taken from magnet OR the weapon, which ever is bigger. And if were talking about stagger? Can you imagine how fast all those layers of astronomia hit together? It's kinda nutty

[@awing84]

Dex killing it as always, cheers!

[@Nobody1707]

So, is blood astronomia just not worth it for solo garlic?

[@DJ-Daz]

LOL, gotta love the thumbnail.

[@Mythraen]

"That's just what they're called in the game. I can't change it." Are you sure? I haven't looked at the code, but you've shown you can change other things!

[@caramelconundrum9280]

I’ve got baalllssss of garlic

[@foobar6930]

i am always laugh when i see this thumbnail. i don't know why i'm laugh.

[@drayblesolomonstribulation3045]

The garlic is funny... 😂

[@tohpingtiang4878]

Extreme case of garlic breath.

[@ggrimmfield5529]

Me every time i get garlic: Yup i won

[@vibonacci]

Should have gone Boogaloo of Illusions early

[@menikinaka]

Well, having 1million golden eggs on everyone makes this game unenjoyable... I cant play it anymore. And i dont want to go back either playing without eggs. It will never feel the same again

[@Monado6]

Nutsack thumbnail miss-see or intentional?

[@PinktoastLP]

was it intended to put the garlic right on the old mans balls so it looks like its balls on the thumbnail? xD

[@PromiseImBad]

Thumbnails looking a little sus lmfao

[@Phantoms3709]

I don’t understand why didn’t you evolve your garlic?

[@_MrLlama_]

Damn thumbnail is great

[@razz3213]

You should try the game "Renfield, Bring your own blood"

[@aldawgd]

Sorry but going to fast when discussing and no idea what you’re clicking and what’s the point

[@jaeusa160]

RIP Inverse Mode just too strong for Poe with Garlic

[@acetraker1988]

Damn it, again use awake more D:

[@DexTag]

Didn't change anything sadly, ironically I died earlier than here. The enemies starting at wave 22 push through and while you tank a ton more, you don't kill the enemies anywhere as fast as here. It looked like princess almost tripled the attack amount so now they survive 3x longer, which for most enemies means instead of not hitting me they now hit me

[@SB-qm5wg]

intense end

[@Northstar-Media]

I play via xbox game pass is there a glitch . Im struggling to progress .

[@drskelebone]

Except it's not a balanced system. You can lose HP faster than the increased damage can kill the enemies that are killing you. I've tried a number of scenarios to test this (I've taken D.B. and my Weapon-Of-The-Day and died a bunch).

[@witylones]

Hello dex ı think you can finish on hardest mod without any support so bannish all of them :)

[@shusanto6187]

how can we use only 1 weapon? i play on android

[@goldenslaughterer]

probably a noob question but how the hell do you get so much exp, i’m only level 100 by like 15 minutes

[@Your_Degenerate]

Thanks for the Boogalooooo.

[@ov3rkill]

Garlic needs some hardcore buff.

[@DexTag]

I think its fine. It's an early weapon with its own purpose, to farm up enemies. That'd be a bit like saying Fire Wand needs a buff cause it's level 1 sucks Richard. They just perform well at different times

[@nevilo1]

I know what you did the Thumbnail. And i take my hat off to you sir.

[@leolel1844]

why didn't you take Pummarola to evolve garlic ? and like don't take tiragisu because you don't need it

[@stoneymahoney9106]

1) Because it's a Garlic video, not a Soul Eater video 2) tbf&h this is a pretty scuffed run and I'm actually impressed he survived

[@askatamvan1054]

How did you cross out the items in the beginning? I thought you could only use banish for that for each level up?

[@DarkestDion]

If you banish 10 (and 20) items in one run, you unlock the Seal into the powerup store, which let you banish items right off the start from the collection.

[@xDBlackie]

I have to ask. Dex? Did you know what you did with that thumbnail or was that on accident? xD

[@redsyss2081]

Is evolved Garlic worse than the normal one?

[@DexTag]

Not really, at least not in a single weapon run. For other cases you want other passives, but here you could easily replace Candelabrador with Pummarola, have more damage, a healing (though the healing only works if you also kill enemies) and more Area, despite losing Candelabrador. Or Torona would need a closer look at it, though the Might bonus is quite useful (I always forget that our shown Might stat is just a visual thing from Bloodline, and not the actual Might, so we never hit the cap of 900). You could also replace the Hollow Heart for it, but that one is more complicated to calcualte since the main benefit out of it is the damage boost you get, or of course just Tiragisu, but that one is complicated since sometimes all it takes is a random boss rushing at you and you would have won otherwise. The real reason why Garlic can go further than Soul Eater is that Soul Eater is just better. Yea, sounds stupid, but better means a lot more kills and thus more levels, and the real issue is dealing with higher level enemies, since enemies outscale you.

[@patrickburchett9785]

Do it BONE ZONE!

[@gasYotube]

That weapon doesn't do that much damage. What witchcraft did he do to make it do so much damage?

[@clarenced5770]

bloodline arcana, it's the strongest arcana in the game for a reason !

[@gasYotube]

@@clarenced5770 Using that arcana is putting the game on easy mode.

@@gasYotube yeah but even with that garlic didnt made it to the end sadly

[@gasYotube]

@@clarenced5770 the arcana is powerful but needs to be upgraded early on so you can build up a lot of life, at the point where he chose the arcana had no effect.

[@Miak0oo]

With the available arcana and characters, getting million + kills and a (measly) 100k coins - it’s not anything special, especially in endless. Sigma can quite literally get that in a normal game. An egged trouser can do it in seconds..

I like your video, but seriously you need to back off on the ads. I'm 11 minutes in, and I have literally gotten an ad every 60 seconds. At first, I thought it seemed like a lot of ads. Then I started paying attention. It's literally one ad ever minute. That's INSANE! I get it. You make money through ads. But if the ads are so frequent that nobody wants to keep watching your video due to the frequency of ads, it is counterproductive to your goal of producing revenue because people will just stop watching. How about an ad or 2 once every 10 minutes? Even one ad every 5 minutes might be tolerable for a short video. But one ad every minute for a video lasting over 27 minutes is intolerable for most people.
