Vampire Survivors Patch Notes 1.5.0 June 12

• 1 new pickup that triggers a short special event

Quick Content Walkthrough:

• In Astral Stair, find the Chaos Rosalia to unlock the morph ability for Yatta Cavallo
• In Astral Stair, find the Trisection to unlock the Random Events option in Stage Selection
• Find the Map of Astral Stair, Mt.Moonspell (DLC), and Lake Foscari (DLC) in the respective stages

Full Spoilers:

Stage: Astral Stair

Has an intro cutscene (auto-skipped after all relics in the stage have been obtained).
Initially, it looks like the usual infinitely repeating stages, but it's actually a single giant map. It's confusing to navigate until you discover it actually has a very simple layout.
Players can use teleporters to move through different rooms.
Has enemies that follow the beat of the music and turn either red or blue. They can be damaged only by weapons of the same colour they're currently "wearing".
Has special boss enemies, Cosmic Eggs, which can cast the same Infinite Corridor ability the player can normally obtain. It halves the player's health at every cast, making it potentially dangerous even to characters with crazy bonuses.

Relic: Map of Astral Stair

Surprisingly, this is a map of Astral Stair.

Relic: Trisection

Unlocks a new game mode called ‘Randomize Minute Events’. In this mode, there are spinning wheels that can be seen in the bottom right corner of the screen. They triggers special events every minute; whether they’re good or bad depends on the character's Luck stat. Good luck!

This option is always enabled by default in the new stage Astral Stair (until you pick up the Trisection relic), but with the relic you can have the mode switched on or off for every stage.

Please note: This mode is not compatible with the PC Twitch mode (since it's doing the same thing as the Twitch mode, without needing a chat).

Relic: Chaos Rosalia

Allows the character Yatta Cavallo to morph when reaching Level 80. It gets a few minor stats boost and evolves its Cherry Bomb weapon into Yatta Daikarin.

The weapon evolution still throws bombs, but also draws "constellations" around the character that explode, dealing luck-based damage.

Pickup: GoldFinger

A new pickup that triggers a special event in which the character becomes invincible and more powerful for a set amount of time. During this time, a counter is displayed to show how many enemies are getting defeated in the invincibility period.
When the invincibility ends, the player is given a score and a prize.

Current tresholds and prizes:

Bronze: 0
Silver: 500 + Player Level
Gold: 1000 + Player Level x2
Demon: 1500 + Player Level x3
Cosmic: 2500 + Player Level x4

Bronze: healing + bouncy weapon if the players has less than 6 total items
Silver: coins + healing + Little Clover + random pickup between Gilded Clover, NFT, or Rosary.
Gold: coins + floor chicken + treasure chest (no evo)
Demon: coins + treasure chest (with evos)
Cosmic: coins + treasure chest (with evos) + random weapon

Possible Cosmic Finger weapons: Greatest Jubilee, Torrona's Box, or Victory Sword,
+ Candybox if the player has less than 6 weapons
+ "anima weapon" (???) if the player has less than 7 weapons and doesn't already have an anima weapon

After finding the Trisection, the GoldFinger has a very slim chance to be dropped in most stages.

new engine tweaks and fixes:
- doubled projectile pool limit
- La Borra projectiles getting stuck
- music volume resetting after getting changed
