How to Beat the Reaper & Unlock Red Death - Vampire Survivors

[@mrtrananh]

Thank you so much for this method! I’ve been trying the sitting in 1 place method for a while now but it’s super boring. This was way more fun and I managed to kill the reaper in a few hits 👍

[@Snel_yt]

Glad it helped. I never could get the sit in one spot method down so I went a different route

[@mrtrananh]

@@Snel_yt yeah I tried that as well but always ended up dying around 17 minutes 🤣

[@enragedares5992]

Thank you dude , just unlocked him. Can confirm the sitting in one spot strats were driving me insane .. not only is this way fun , but also almost 0 rng reliant ❤

[@Snel_yt]

I'm glad this helped!

[@Tackleberry_G1094]

Out of all the guides, this was the easiest to follow and I got it on the first try! Thanks, dude!

[@Snel_yt]

Glad I could help!

[@miloga987]

Tried the sitting strat about 10times either randomly died b4 30min or got to the end but eventually got killed. Did this one on my first try and got read death! Especially satisfying playing as Poe my fav old man. Thx brother

[@Snel_yt]

Happy to help and who doesn’t love the stinky old man!

[@sungod7777]

I did it on my first try , it's super easy and very clear on the info , tysm bud

[@Snel_yt]

glad this helped!

[@user-nx1qe3fg2h]

Best guide out there, beat him in 1 shot, thank you!!!!!

[@greggchaffin1596]

this was a really great video. I'm shocked you dont have more subs

[@Snel_yt]

Haha thanks! I’m working on it. Haven’t been doing too much VS content though going back to my first love (Morrowind) 😅

[@greggchaffin1596]

@@Snel_yt That was my first game ever on the original Xbox. I never got far though. I'd either steal and get killed or went on a rampage lol.

[@Snel_yt]

@@greggchaffin1596 it's the reason i got an original xbox, favourite game ever, so I've been trying to make some content around it

[@CloudStrifeXBL]

Got him first try thanks to your method! Worked super easy. Most important were obviously Crimson Shroud and Infinite Corridor, I smacked his ass in 54 seconds with books and 3 birds though (the evolution and the 2 for the arcana). Thanks a lot!!

[@crabbuckets7506]

Thank you so much my dude. Didn't completely copy but this helped heaps. Mad groove half way through saved me the leg work haha.

[@Snel_yt]

Glad it helped! I’m always just trying to show what can work in my guide videos as my main recommendation is use what your comfortable with 😄

[@crabbuckets7506]

​@@Snel_yt saved me some time that's for sure. Think you had some Balatro videos I'll check it out. Heard so much about it.

[@Snel_yt]

@@crabbuckets7506 i do! love me some balatro, so thanks for checking out more of my videos!

[@Xsis_Vorok]

Great! Thanks for this vid. Was a lot easier than that "Sit in this pixel perfect spot or die" strat.

[@Snel_yt]

Yeah i wasn’t a fan of that when I first tried it. Figured I’d just get the equipment to kill death itself 😂

[@lisabogo7286]

My husband has been trying this the stand still with the giant racer thing for almost a week. He was late to the party , didn't know about this game. I didn't either a couple of years ago when it came out. Now that it's picked up attraction a lot of people know about it he just picked it up like within The last 2 weeks maybe 2 1⁄2 weeks. It was a good thing because after his 1st like day or 2 of experimental running he was able to look online and KZbin and find and see a lot of stuff that bumped him up immensely. Matter of fact he saw he didn't know about the coffins so he saw the 1st coffin, Mad Forest, figured that'll be the best easiest whatever and what not 1 to go after, went and got it and got Pugala ( I think that's the name or something similar to that Should I just look at the screen you got the character select screen up on this video.) with the guns which is freaking nuts. Kind of surprise that nobody really shows their best builds as being the guy with the double guns I guess because it limits the slots where they're gonna put upgrades and evolved items and passive or weapons. But I'm excited to see this video and tell him about it and see if we can get some of this going on part of the reason his standing in the library giant room tracer thing didn't work was he was missing some of the unlocks a lot of people have of different kinds to do that I don't remember what they were I think it was having more arcane pretty sure of it available.

[@MrDarkWade]

Amazing guide, got it on the first try. And it feels fair as you are only using the intended game mechanics, doesn't feel like you've cheated the system

[@TomBailey]

TYVM - I was able to unlock him. I used a similar build with Poppea - but this video definitely inspired me to look into particular builds to take him down.

[@Snel_yt]

Happy to inspire!

[@BKing007]

A very good method that could be used for different characters in case I'm trying to just get a win with them and some of the combinations will help when things get harder in other stages, good video

[@Snel_yt]

I’m glad this helps and provides usefulness for other characters. I tried to make it as general as possible, because I find the average player will have greater success applying the tips to a character they like/are familiar with

[@Vanma_]

I managed to do it first try with this strat, thank you!

[@Snel_yt]

Glad it worked out for you!

[@ricktheweeb5382]

this is so much easier that the one spot trick like most others said and i got him first try i was almost begining to think that the reaper just didnt die

[@Peterplayingguitar]

Worked first go! Thank you so much.

[@Snel_yt]

Amazing glad it also worked for you!

[@flanagan9135]

THIS WORKED FIRST TRY THANK YOU!

[@Trihahalos]

Crimson shroud + infinite corridor is right now the best way to kill the Reaper. It is not RNG reliant, it does not need specific champions and anyone can do it.

[@oliverhalvarsson133]

awesome video thanks man

[@Snel_yt]

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it, I do have more VS videos coming as well ;)

[@StephenOwen]

6:02 to finish the thought , it’s better to pick it up because pick ups don’t count against your max item count

[@Snel_yt]

absolutely! thanks for pointing that out

[@juliocalcano7205]

Thank you! Much easier strat than others.

[@J0sh074]

wwwoooooooooowww thanks man. appreciate ur tutorial

[@StephenOwen]

This worked for me! I just tried it today, though I used Boon Marabio instead of old garlic guy It worked like a charm! The evolved shroud is critical to survive when Death inevitably escapes from the Time weapon, as he can one shot you It might be possible without the shroud if you stacked Revivals, including the Arcana that gives extra revives

[@SkizzieSpeedruns]

Thank you so much, doing this with boon marabio actually saved me!

[@MedicalMan.]

Do you have to do it? With the original characters and items what can you do with the new stuff

[@Snel_yt]

This will work with any character. I’ll always recommend using why your comfortable with. Item wise as long as you get the laurel and the upgrades for it you can use whatever items you want new or old. Clock lancet is powerful for freezing death but not absolutely required.

[@szotyi3343]

Hi, I die immediately when the reaper shows up. I revive then I freeze him then kills me again when the freeze is over. I try this 2 times

[@Snel_yt]

Did you evolve the laurel? That reduces the damage the reaper does. You’ll also want to make sure your load out is doing damage. Evolved dagger, axe and fireball are pretty good for this

[@szotyi3343]

I did it thank you with the laurel :)

[@wolfmanxvx]

I got it first try with crimson shroud and the freeze/half health evolution and crosses and wand evo with Santa water evo. Dude died in 39 seconds

[@ilus9051]

TYSM! I finally obtained it :D

[@Snel_yt]

glad this helped!

[@martonpap1197]

How can I get rings?

[@Snel_yt]

You’ll have to acquire the yellow sign which is found on a secret level

[@martonpap1197]

@@Snel_yt Where is the secret level?

[@Snel_yt]

@@martonpap1197 not 100% on this but if you do moongollow you'll access it until you've gotten the yellow sign

[@xcheesygamernamex]

ive tried this multiple times but i cant seem to upgrade anything fast enough i saw that you used the power up that makes enemies more powerful and i tried that but i kept dying to them any tips?

[@Snel_yt]

i think using a character you are comfortable with is important, but i really like poe and getting garlic up as soon as possible, also some passive items are way better then others, like increasing damage and attack rate is critical depending on your weapon choices

[@StockingsTube]

Driving me insane!

[@sms4001]

So maybe i missed it but what are the essential items i need to complete this? Do we have to try to get your exact loadout? And it sounded like you left those treasures there on purpose? Why?

[@Snel_yt]

sorry for the late response, not the loadout persay, but you do have to get the yellow sign so you can get the secret items to appear on the stage, then you just need to get the clock lancet, and laurel along with the gold/silver rign and the metaglio left/right to get the special evolutions, the other 4 items/passives you can get whatever you want, basically whatever will help you survive

[@wortex6371]

The megaligitos or whatever it is are not getting in to one peace in my runs why?

[@Snel_yt]

hmmm could be that you didn't take the right arcana, there is an arcana that will suck everything into the centre and you can then pick them up, if that;s what you are referring too

[@arcadialunarcrest]

Holy shit I used this guide and it actually worked. All hail Poe and his garlic.

[@Snel_yt]

I’m glad it worked for you!

[@tamarakalkhoff6005]

Thank you so much!

[@its_jsk]

Ty bro finally got him

[@Snel_yt]

Happy to assist! It was a struggle for me for a while but this build consistently killed the reaper for me

[@its_jsk]

@@Snel_ytjust came back 10 months later because I forgot how to beat him 😂

[@TerminalM193]

How are you able to have so many rerolls? Mine is maxed at 2.

[@Snel_yt]

so the reroll powerup (from the main menu) grants two per rank, so level that up will give you ten, then silent old sanctuary (one of the arcanas) gives you 3 additional. I also have another video one how to collect a ton of golden eggs, which will randomly give you more reroll stats (but this will break a character so be careful following that video)

[@davonstubblefield5822]

Your the goat guide helped me kill death np poe is broken for not dying and standing still

[@Snel_yt]

that's why he is my favourite stinky old man lmao

[@casedistorted]

I unlocked him somehow but I don’t remember how. I think editing the cfg file still worked recently and don’t remember which method did it lol

[@Snel_yt]

a shame you don't remeber, but I appreciate you watching the video regardless!

[@faizanmckagan2827]

Can u please teach me how to level up faster. I can not survive past 16 minutes 😢

[@Snel_yt]

Not sure how to really do it. Best way to level quickly is to kill and collect gems, I’d recommend to make sure you are spending the gold you collect on the permanent upgrades, mainly movement speed, exp gain and damage. And there’s also a passive upgrade you can get, the crown, that gives you more exp. Another tip is to try not to move too much so the gems collect on the ground and eventually they’ll “merge” into a big gem that gives you a bunch of exp so collecting those tends to help level fast.

[@faizanmckagan2827]

@@Snel_yt thank u I appreciate you. I finally got about 8,000 gold to spend on power ups. I only got the game last week. But ty though

[@justinsaiyan5587]

I killed him but he didn’t unlock. Not sure why not

[@Rallisport]

Don't have yellow sign yet... BBL.

[@Snel_yt]

Unfortunately you’ll need it for this method. It’s not too difficult to acquire and honestly this method I think is more consistent than trying to do the no movement method. Hopefully you get it soon!

[@cezaryzarski2328]

GOD BLESS YOU WITH KIDS FOR THIZ AMAZING GUIDE!!!

[@Snel_yt]

Lol thanks for watching!

[@rileygorden4668]

death was just attacking me lol i didn't freeze him or anything lmao just was not taking dmg idk why

[@Snel_yt]

lol that's one way to beat death then lol

[@cutepbpie6]

Amazing

[@Mangsterade]

How dare you call Poe a stinky old man, Poe will always be in top

[@Snel_yt]

He’s my favourite stinky old man!

[@wanhade1821]

The easiest way to kill him, ive tried other ways but this is by far the easiest.

[@Snel_yt]

Couldn’t agree more. I tried thé not leveling method but couldn’t get it to work

[@MrPorko2c]

Thanks so much for this. Everyone on KZbin and twitch keeps talking about the level 1 or 2 exploit but this one is actually way easier. I don’t understand why people would do the exploit when you can just do this. The exploit has a lot of room for error and things going wrong.

[@Snel_yt]

I made this because I couldn’t get the exploit to work so I’m glad this helped you out!
