How To Unlock All Secret Characters in Vampire Survivors

Perhaps one of the largest indie releases in the entire year, Vampire Survivors is a game you could run endlessly– and still not discover all there is to know. Despite being less than half of a gigabyte in size, games like this have a tendency to pack all sorts of content you just simply wouldn’t expect. Secret rooms, secret weapons, or even secret characters. Tired of playing Assunta Belpaese over and over again? Here’s how to unlock all secret characters in Vampire Survivors.

Unlocking All Secret Characters in Vampire Survivors

There are a total of 13 secret characters to be unlocked in this game, as listed below:

• Exdash Exiviiq
• Toastie
• Smith IV
• Gyorunton
• Boon Marrabbio
• Peppino
• Leda
• Minnah Manarrah
• Queen Sigma
• Gains Boros
• Red Death
• Big Trouser
• Cosmo Pavone

We’ll go over how to unlock each of them in more detail down below.

Exdash Exiviiq

Starting us off, you can unlock Exdash Exiviiq by typing “x-x1viiq” in the main menu– there will be a sound charm to signal he has been unlocked.

Alternatively, he can be unlocked by chance through an in-game calculation based on total/65535, total referring to the amount of total Little Clovers you have. Exdash starts off weak, but the more time and gold you put into upgrades the better results you will see.

To reiterate, this code is typed at the main menu where the majority of the guide’s codes are used in the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane.

Starting Stats

• -23 Max Health
• -10% Move Speed
• +10% Cooldown
• -10% Might
• -10% Area
• -50% Speed
• -10% Duration
• +100% Luck

Toastie

Toastie can only be unlocked if Exdash is already unlocked, see above for the relevant information on how to do so.

Once Exdash is unlocked, you will have to defeat the Drowner or the Stalker and then Toastie will appear in the corner of your screen. From here, you must quickly press the down arrow key and enter key– simultaneously. If done correctly, and if Exdash is already unlocked, you will receive Toastie as a playable character.

Beware, at level 1 Toastie is subject to instant death from the slightest error. Use your bonus movement speed to your advantage, and also, upgrade your health and armor.

Alternatively, casting the spell “tramezzini” in the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane will also unlock Toastie (provided still that Exdash is unlocked prior.)

Starting Stats

• -99 Max Health
• +20% Move Speed
• -10% Might
• -10% Area
• -50% Speed
• -10% Duration
• +10% Cooldown
• +100% Luck

Smith IV

Additionally, Smith IV requires both Toastie and Exdash to be unlocked in order for you to play him.

Smith has a somewhat complicated series of actions required in order to actually be played in the game. You must first type “spam” at the main menu; then continue to the character select screen, where you then type “spam” again; additionally, you will type “spam” once more at the stage selection screen; finally, type “humbug” once active in the stage. Afterward, Smith IV can be purchased for 7,777 gold.

That’s a mouthful, isn’t it? Keep in mind this must be done within 30 seconds total, as a timer starts after the first code is entered. You got this.

Starting Stats

• 7 Max Health
• +20% Move Speed
• -10% Might
• -10% Area
• -50% Speed
• -10% Duration
• +10% Cooldown

The third challenge stage for Vampire Survivors is the Boss Rash, where the player has to survive every boss in the game. Challenging for sure, but succeeding at this challenge using only one weapon will unlock the character Gyorunton. Best of luck, if you succeed Gyorunton will become available for 5,000 gold.

Alternatively, one may use the code “secondevolution” within the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane.

If that is too difficult, the spell “highfive” will also unlock Gains Boros.

Starting Stats

Gains Boros has completely base stats, aside from the fact that his Growth increases by 2% at every level.

Red Death

Red Death is an extremely powerful boss and he spawns regardless of the stage after 30 minutes. If you defeat him, you unlock him as a playable character. He will be purchasable for 666 gold.

• +20% Might

Big Trouser

To unlock Big Trouser one must first unlock the Moonglow stage.

As always, you can simply cast the spell “earrivatolarrotino”.

Starting Stats

Big Trouser has base stats, however, his Greed will increase by 1% at every level. This makes him a great gold farmer.

Cosmo Pavone

Prerequisites

1. Unlock Zi’ Assunta Belpaese
2. Unlock the Yellow Sign

The first thing to note is you must use a character that has not picked up any Golden Eggs, this is visible during character selection. Next, select the Cappella Magna stage and find these two weapons:

1. Ebony Wings
2. Peachone weapon

Afterward, head north through the stage and find the Nduja Fritta Tanto near the burning gate (burning weapon on the floor,) with this combination the gate will open and Cosmo will be freed. Make sure you walk over to him to complete the unlock, allowing him to be purchased for 666 gold from the main menu.

Additionally, the spell “lhovistoio” will unlock Cosmo in the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane.

Starting Stats

• 20 Max Health
• +1 Recovery
• +20% Luck
• +30% Movement Speed
• +1 Revival

Please bear in mind that the standard 666 gold cost for characters is a base cost; with every character you unlock and buy these costs will scale upwards, making every character purchase more expensive. This is how to unlock all secret characters in Vampire Survivors for the official release, all of the base characters come more naturally through game progression. Happy hunting!
