I Found The Yellow Sign, The Real Game Begins Now! - Vampire Survivors

[@TNTspaz]

I'm really happy with how experimental the developer got with this game. He could have easily just banked on the proven formula but decided to do more. For those that don't know. Yellow Sign essentially unlocks the endgame

[@coffeedude]

Yeah! The game seems super simple at first, which it kinda is, but it's impossible to deny that it's made with love and passion. It knows what it wants to be and it achieves it perfectly

[@ambiguousduck2333]

bro I pulled the free version off of the Apple Store, and then I encountered the Yellow Sign without any knowledge of it. Holy shit did I fear that I downloaded malware or something.

I love how it basically has like three endings. Just when you think you’ve done everything, a bunch of stuff opens up to you!

[@Cow-Moth-With-A-CRT-Head]

I love the level leading up to it. Near the end where space warps and then the weird sky church thing and then those hands, not to mention it doesn't even have a sprite for the item itself... not to mention some of the thing Tyler is going to be able to unlock now. I am very much looking forward to these next few videos.

[@AdrianWoodUK]

Pssst: Moongolow doesn't *quite* have every item. If you ever want to do an all items run, you'll need to grab a level of Torrona's Box before you run round grabbing the rest.

The Grim Grimoire will only show evolutions of already discovered evolutions on the save file. So when you get a new weapon you have to experiment on how to evolve the weapon first.

[@michielhorikx9863]

And DLC weapons even if you haven't unlocked them, which is probably why Tyler is confused

[@coffeedude]

@@michielhorikx9863 that's an odd choice

and the harpoon things come from the trail of things on the floor

[@jameslutes7478]

oh and they attack when the player stops moving

[@nintendomario007]

The text on the warning screen is flipped, rotated, and randomized. Beyond that, there's nothing secret in it.

[@entropic-decay]

while I have yet to play this game myself, I'm fairly sure the yellow sign is a reference to the cthulhu mythos - there's a great old one within that called Hastur, known to bestow a yellow sign upon various people to get them under their control. The yellow sign is known to grant those who have seen it various supernatural abilities.

[@tandorgamash]

The King in Yellow was another story by Robert.W.Chambert if you like Romance and super natural you should read it. Lovecraft got inspired by hit after reading it.

[@brayachdragonbane7529]

Hastur also drives people utterly MAD and delirious (hence the yellow reaper, named Maddener, messing with you with all the holy imagery)

[@ThomasLe]

I just played this character you were playing in the first part of this video. It doesn't have 2 modes. It spawns the spikes for a certain amount and when you right or left click the mouse OR stop, it fires the pinions in the exact direction you are currently facing. so the strat is to line them up, face the mobs and face their direction and either stop or click

[@cosmiikat-wav]

I love how this stage really let's you answer the question of every game like this: "what if I had every item at once?"

[@mementomori5580]

Not seeing the rings or the left and right magic on the maps while he plays will always feel strange to me... at this point they feel like part of the game, but are actually an unlock

[@robertwyatt3912]

Right?

[@afeathereddinosaur]

He finally did it! The hunt for the secrets has begun

[@ezzzzyyy]

This is LITERALLY turning into inscryption and I could not be happier

[@NErDy-pr1jf]

Great that you got yellow sign AND happened to meet the requirements to unlock big trouser (which are to finish a run in moongolow with all the passive items you can pick up fully leveled. This includes tiragasu which you lose when you run out of revives so it can be really hard to accidentally get the unlock as even if you complete the stage the red reaper will drain all your revives meaning you technically don’t have max tiragasu at the end of the level and don’t get the unlock)

[@entropic-decay]

I think the way the gold fever's bar works is that it drains faster and faster, and each gold you pick up refreshes it by the same small amount - so it will drain and run out eventually, but if you get enough gold from it you can keep it going for a long time

[@aydenpayne3405]

I got it up to like 119k one time. Shit is nutty. Also important to note it goes up by like 1 coin per enemy killed.

[@AyushSharma-ne9zs]

Highest i got was around 750k gold but that was HELLA optimized but wasn't the ideal build I believe in that run I got around 70 million gold total after some overnight farming

[@WhirlyBeepBoops]

Pretty sure you get a lot of the bar back when you pick up coin bags too (and maybe even coins dropped from vases/light sources)

[@brayachdragonbane7529]

I was hoping to see more of this and you've been delivering. Thanks!

[@meepswag35]

The merchant kind of unlocks the postgame essentiallly with golden eggs. You can use trouser to farm gold and earn a bajillion gold, then spending it on golden eggs to form an infinite loop, and get the most broken character with like +10k% stats

[@oinkymomo]

how shadow pinion works is that it lays spikes while you move which can then be fired by stopping. it does nothing while you are standing still

[@dani.2479]

further note: it also shoots the pinions/spikes in the direction you are facing when you stop moving

[@smolyay]

Shadow pinion is amazing, the 'harpoon' launches in the direction of your movement from the spikes on the ground. This means you can control the area and concentration of damage from this weapon. Its rlly fun to play

[@Creepaminer]

I find it so funny how the editor just zooms in on Tylers face every time he makes an indirect dirty joke

[@butter_0021]

[@jhhe0919]

I actually know how the attack works when you walk it builds up the spikes on the ground and when you stop moving it launches them in the direction you were facing

Getting the yellow sign is probably my favorite experience with the game, I never would have done moongolow if it weren't for a friend pushing me to do it since it was his favorite level.

[@dragonlink2878]

I love this game and the passive items you get from yellow sign allows for better gold grind if needed. They also have a surprise if you get to close to them so be prepared.

[@NoManOdysseus]

[@masonasaro2118]

so that cutscene is apparently a cthullu reference. the yellow sign is a reference to the king in yellow. the shadowy clapping hands are apparently the being responsible for making the sign. the weird text is representing the insanity the sign gives people

yellow sign reminds me of the thing I heard... "Behold the yellow sign become my slave my eternal captive audience. I am entropy, disorder. where things are built tall I appear to knock them down. Nations, monuments.. relationships. I steal the hearts and minds of the rich and powerful to break them and litter my court with them like gold dust."

whoever is watching this one year later series, one year later, let it be known that there is no random damage, the damage numbers are not accurate as they show +5 to -5 damage of what the weapon is actually doing, but the weapon always does the same damage. for example if a weapon does 15 damage, it always does 15 damage, but the damage numbers might show 10 to 20
