Vampire Survivors death: How to beat Red Death

Read on below to discover the most effective Vampire Survivors death boss battle strategy and how to kill Red Death at long last.

Vampire Survivors death: How to kill Red Death

There is a long and complicated process to killing the reaper in Vampire Survivors. Ultimately, you will need to have both the Crimson Shroud and Infinite Corridor weapons to do it. You can create these evolutions with weapon combos. Here is how to make both of them:

• Infinite Corridor: Clock Lancet, Silver Ring, and Gold Ring (all must be maximum level for evolution)
• Crimson Shroud: Laurel, Metaglio Left, and Metaglio Right (all must be maximum level for evolution)

Once you have both of these evolved weapons, you will be able to defeat the reapers that appear at the 30-minute mark of a run. Now, you need to survive that long while following the steps to find all of the required items. It’s a complicated process but one that should work.

The simplest way to go about unlocking all the correct items and weapon combos is to follow this amazing video tutorial on YouTube from creator Dex. Check out the video below:

If you’d prefer a written list of steps to follow then we’ve got you covered, too. Remember to follow each step in order to make sure you do everything correctly.

Here is how to kill Red Death in Vampire Survivors:

• Select your preferred character: Gallo (starts with Clock Lancet) or Clerici (starts with Santa Water) work well here
• Choose the Inlaid Library stage

• Make sure you’ve got Hyper, Hurry, Arcanas, and Limit Break activated (Inverse too, if you have it)
• Choose Out of Bounds skill
• Collect the green shard on the table just up and to the left of where you start
• Collect Santa Water and Laurel if you don't already own them
• Choose Duplicator Ring to make Santa Water stronger
• Around 11 minutes in (if not using Inverse) head to the merchant and choose Silent Old Sanctuary

• Head to the left side of the screen
• Collect the Empty Tome

• Bracer is useful for killing enemies and levelling up
• Remember to stand still when you have the circle around you that kills enemies before they reach you (around nine minutes in)
• Minute 10: Pick up the Red Gem

• Level up your items and unlock the Candelabrador (it’ll help, trust us)

• • Attractorb will level up your Santa Water quickly
• When levelled up enough select Mad Groove to attracts all stage items towards you (including those Rings and Metaglios)
• Level up the Rings and Metaglios to Level 9, do not pick up the chest when the Guardians spawn - level up first!
• Once the Guardians are defeated and both Rings and Metaglios are level 9, pick up the chest to evolve the Clock Lancet into the Infinite Corridor
• Open the chest to evolve the Laurel into the Crimson Shroud
• Stand still and watch all the enemies die at the edge of your magic circle until minute 30

• 30 minutes: the reaper spawns

• Don’t pick up the chests and stand there until the reapers are killed

• Done - you’ve unlocked the playable Red Death character!
