How to destroy the Blue Emerald Banished Seal in Vampire Survivors Tides of the Foscari DLC

After breaking the red Seal of the Abyss on the Abyss Foscari stage in Vampire Survivors, a strange blue emerald will appear, which you'll also need to shatter. But it isn't as easy as walking up to it and hitting it—you must meet specific conditions first. Here's how to destroy the Seal of the Banished in the Vampire Survivors Tides of the Foscari DLC.

How to destroy the Blue Emerald in Vampire Survivors Tides of the Foscari DLC

To break the blue Seal of the Banished, you need to play Eleanor Uziron, the first character you unlock on the Lake Fuscari stage (you'll have owned her for a while at this point). Once in a run with her on Abyss Foscari, evolve her SpellString, SpellStream, and SpellStrike into SpellStrom and then max it out to its level eight cap.

With SpellStrom in hand, approach the blue emerald and attack it with the weapon until the Seal of the Banished shatters.

What does destroying the Seal of the Banished do?

Once you break the Seal of the Banished, it will reveal a petrified body that, like the crystal, you need to hit until it shatters. We won't spoil what happens, but prepare for a fight.

Beating this battle unlocks a new secret character, which you'll find on the Character Select menu upon leaving the stage.

How to find the Blue Emerald Banished Seal in Vampire Survivors

Upon starting an Abyss Foscari run with Eleanor Uziron, return to where the red Seal of the Abyss was. If you've forgotten, take the following directions:

1. Head south toward the two Crown stage pickups.
2. Once you've reached the first one, travel west until you reach a horizontal stone bridge.
3. Walk west across the bridge to the other side, next to where the Seal of the Abyss was before you broke it.

With the bridge cleared, travel northwest toward the Stone Mask and Attractorb stage pickups. The Seal of the Banished is sandwiched in the middle of the two.
