Huge SECRET Update in Vampire Survivors with INSANE new things!

✵Playlist: • Vampire Survivors General
Vampire Survivivors had a HUGE new secret update on the beta branch that you can only join with a hidden code. The update will go live eventually, but can you figure it out? Not only do we have 2 new alterations to already existing characters, but we also have a new stage and many new secrets!
In this video we unlock and beat Room 1665, the 2 character alterations of Imelda and Poe being Unblinded Imelda Belpaese and Retired Poe Ratcho, the Darkasso and the new Darkasso (which is just like an Arcana) Moonlight Bolero.

[@SwervingRain]

dex just unlocked like 900 new videos for vampire survivors 😂

[@VivBrodock]

oh that's so interesting, skins that are alternate versions of characters, and they actually take from the adventure? very cool, hope more like this happens

[@Fishman465]

There's stat differences too as Retired Poe has normal HP

[@VivBrodock]

they really said "well if people are gonna complain about it being too easy let's give them a new thing to complain about"

[@esupton783]

24:35 dex, that's not a normal chest, it gave you an item you didn't have

[@pest270]

I think u can't reject the items cuz it would be too op, every single minute u get a chest with a chance to get arcana and passive item u don't have already? I think the darkanas might be just like "cursed" arcanas u get some benefits but with some "debuffs"(I don't have a better word, English isn't my first language)

[@edward9487]

I think they're more like a Monkey's Paw, in a way?

[@anitagofradump5195]

My thoughts exactly

[@thesyndrome43]

I agree with your interpretation, also I like the chest giving you a free item but you can't reject it, it's a real "risk/reward" chance

[@edwxx20001]

ya, also you choose the darkanea, its not just a normal chest that will spawn in every game, only in ones you choose for it to be there

[@Glamador]

A tip for anyone struggling with this stage: The enemies scale strongly with your level. The solution? Game Killer Arcana. I got my 6 weapons and the evolution passive for my character, then grabbed the free arcana chest at lvl 10. Once you get the new darkana, you'll have dozens of chests to max out everything and black chests to fill out your passive inventory. I was actually bored by minute 15 because I literally couldn't die.

[@NathanPoulin-w4x]

The answer to your rhetorical question about how people who don't play the game that much are supposed to beat the stage is really quite simple. Queen Sigma.

[@jordandziekonski5375]

Can't wait for them to add new maps based more on the uses of the darkana

[@daniboi_oneninefive]

dex just breaking out into german after getting attractorb from the chest was hilarious

[@darthkarl99]

Pretty sure dex this stage is trying to tell you to bulk up on defence. Obviously there's no rings or cloak on this but Laurel plus armour plus retaliation damage plus the arcana plus the retaliation sword would likly handle this stage way better than trying to just out DPS it.

[@acetraker1988]

I just thought of a combo, Take the Arcana that gives you 3 items per chest but prevents XP, THEN that new dark arcana to get random things you don't have.... = Profit....

[@Xudmud]

I wonder if there's going to be some "Neighbor of the Beast" reference with that Bat Robbert mission.

[@dogmonkey94]

That rosary was nice after getting blue balled for so long lol

[@Melsharpe95]

You can head back UP. The lights and chickens respawn. It's much easier going down, up, down, up etc. Not just constantly down.

[@Mezzying_Around]

You sure got that out fast haha. This update looks so nuts.

[@jaeusa160]

@25:00 I mean... I'd have disabled that 50% Curse. ;p I'm curious if it plays out like Bat Country if you turn Charm back on, or if it plays more like a normal map. But there's just so little reason to leave starting Curse on anymore unless you know you're on some strong run.

[@Rhinofury18]

Other Arcanas les gooo !!!

[@xoulkaizer]

The whole first half I was thinking pentagram then dex admits pentagram might be situationally then skipping it made me take a roller coaster of emotions happy cause I like pentagram sad because he skipped it

[@DirkLachowski]

Pentagram is great for this stage. Did it on my first try with Pentagram and Luminaire Foscari

didnt know this got more dlc, glad i ran across this video, i got back into it a couple days ago.

[@ikigvmi]

BABY WAKE UP DEX JUST DROPPED

[@marte010exe]

This update is pretty insane tho I'm amazed :v Btw, i realized something weird about the chests when you use your first Darkana: if it spawns a dark chest, it'll level up ONLY passives, not the weapons, don't know why, qnd if you run out of pasives to level up, it'll give you a new one

[@saltedsword8852]

Yo it’s actually awesome. If you go to polis replica with the new darkanas that give you items from leveling and from killing extra bosses you can get every item

[@VodShod]

yeah I will wait for the last update and speed run the achievements.

[@magetsalive5162]

Hey Dex! Imagine if one of the Darkana makes Tri-Bracelet viable.

[@sourdoughed]

Perhaps the enemies HP changes in each room? And so each type has a room where they are easier to kill?

[@kakregax]

Clock lancet freeze build. Or just moon, but we don't see freeze much

[@powerprotoman]

So as it turns out it's really easy to win the run you get off the password entry if your last run was with a contra character. Thanks Sheena!

[@rossbt041]

I don't speak a word of (non-anglicized) German, and yet I understood every word you said sans translation.

[@vetheros]

Dex over here forgetting what it's like to struggle.

[@PDuo]

This update is SO SECRET that the unlocks list tells you what spell to enter in the secrets menu, even before poncle dropped the actual changelog and not just -big fixes and improvements

[@DexTag]

Haha the secret back then was that you could only access the beta with a code you had to figure out and then use that code on Steam's Betas tab with the code :p else you had no access to it. But it got published a day later already

[@thenonexistinghero]

Can't wait for random attract orb to ruin your runs.

[@108Stars]

Sometimes being a beginner and not overthinking can help. I just started playing the game 3 days ago since it just came out on PS5. Got pretty addicted, and eventually after about 15 hours I saw that I should enter that code. I did, was thrown into the battle as Menya (?), a character I didn't like when I tried him... I just picked weapons and items pretty randomly since I didn't expect to be able to win... But somehow I made it through onnthe very first try, right after entering the password. I was so confused, walked back and forth much of the time unable to kill stuff... but somehow I survived the full time. And I know if I tried it again now, with planning I would probably fail. 😅 Less experience and not even hoping to win can be good.😂

[@splodeyferret]

you're making videos faster than we can watch them :D

[@edward9487]

So I just witnessed German Rage... That was certainly a mess. Were you enjoying it?

[@Swagpion]

Silver is the evolution chest. Also the reason you struggled was probably because you had the maxed curse powerup actuve, and all the enemies in that stage have HP thar scales with your level

[@sonicking91784]

The silver chests are evolution chests now. They changed it so you know at a glance now.

[@jessthecowgirl152]

the avarage player will only unlock this after getting the secrets tab, wich is fairly far into the game. also opperation guns characters and their granade drop

[@jacobellis2313]

How are you supposed to beat it? Eggs, upgrades, skill, its not so hard that its amazing if someone clears it. Sure someone that just booted up the game isnt going to do it but thats not the intent anyway.

[@Niflheimrr_EL]

So if you run back up the item drops respawn. You can beat with no weapons just relying on flame cone and crosses

[@DexTag]

They are random. And without a weapon you can't break the breakables. But even if you could somehow, e.g. you can use Heart of Fire, it won't kill many of the enemies. Meaning you'd constantly need to get hit to break the breakables to trigger Heart of Fire, in hopes to heal and get an NFT. Can? Maybe at a slim chance. But that's utter pain and insanely unlikely on such a stage

complains about not getting red gems. Banishes attract orb.

[@soragamma25]

I don't know why you are complaining about getting free items from the chests, I get you're used to being able to choose the items yourself, but now you can possibly get almost every item in one run if you're lucky enough. This just made the game more interesting now because you can choose to leave the chest for later to get more items or weapons, kinda like the stages that have them spawned in, only now it's a random chance.

[@DexTag]

Because it was happening at a time I was looking for an item and didn't know how the Arcana really works and what I'll end up with O.o I would assume that's kinda obvious. But no, I actually think the Arcana is bad. You only get passives you pretty much don't need or don't want. Especially since Arma Dio was added (and I already struggled there to get a use out of it) it's not worth an Arcana slot. And you can't guarantee to get an Arcana out of it

[@mycharisbs]

@@DexTag to be fair you don't know the drop chance of the extra arcanas with potentially 29 new chests (1 every hour) and lucky season it's possible you can get more arcanas then you could in a 30 minute run before also most arcanas are pretty mid themselves i'm not saying it's good, but you just unlocked it and haven't really tested it out with very high luck yet

[@DexTag]

I got a feeling it's unaffected by luck, it possibly is. But after going through a solo weapon limit break of the new secret char and getting 0 Arcana while starting with Wicked Season and the extra chest one, I'm not happy. It needs at least 2 Arcana chests to be worth it

[@soragamma25]

It states it occasionally can spawn a chest containing an arcana card or passive item, so it's seams more like a loot box than anything else, but you'll at least be able to max out your current gear faster than normal thus gaining lots of coins/money on the runs, so while it would be difficult for new players (this maybe changed because it currently seems like it'll insta kill the player who isn't ready) they can potentially get a good money generator running after a bit, any other items would be icing on the cake.

[@DexTag]

@soragamma25 but...that's meaningless at the point you unlock it. Like do you really think 28 additional chests matter if you reach level 1200? Most of these chests will contain a few hundred coins. At a time you earn so much gold the game can't even display it. No, I don't think it's good. It's a gamble. But what I prefer over a gamble is a set outcome, if the outcome is all I need. Passives is a perfect example. If the best passives fill 6 slots, why would I want to sacrifice 1 slot for infinite random passives, if the 7th one is already so weak I don't even consider taking it. Which is usually Bracer/Spellbinder. Arcana are insanely powerful but limited to a select few, mostly being Silent Old Sanctuary, Divine Bloodline, Wicked Season (this one is rather for big numbers), Slash, Boogalo of Illusions. I can't think of another one that matters and half of these are situational
