Finally got the first level to 30 minutes and was instantly killed by a grim reaper. I thought you needed to get to 31 minutes to unlock a thing. How do you survive that?

Back in the day if you made it to 30 minutes, you cleared a run. The Reaper killing you just ends the run so you can restart.
In recent patches, Reaper is now killable, but you need to have lots of upgrades and a strong load out of evolved weapons to do it.
I last played in late winter so I'm not exactly sure what changes have been made. I did make it to 31 minutes just by being strong enough to live that long. I really should start playing again, but I'll wait for the 1.0 patch.
If only I had either one on that run, haha. I was all focused on AOE weapons and didn't put anything into shields. Reaper just went "lol" and spawned right on top of me and I exploded.
Evolved laurel plus some kind of healing will get you there. It caps incoming damage.
You will have to do some extra runs before you are at the reaper killing state, there are upgrades you will need for that and those are on the later levels, but as a general tip having one laurel on any run is a life saver. Then you can start fucking around with the characters you feel most comfortable.
I was doing so insanely well with Soul Eater + upgraded holy water + cross/heaven sword + holy book I didn't even think to get a laurel. Ah well.
Laurel + Clock is the only EASY way to beat the Reaper.
Without the evolutions of those that you unlock later, you just need those + high DPS. Water, daggers, guns will do it. Esp if you get the revives/have purchased the revive. You might need all lives for the Reaper.
For now I would say play how ever you want and have fun with the weapons you like, you will know when its reaper killing time, there also one part that might look impossible but thunder dude was my choise for that, I just dont want to spoil the surprise but you will know what im talking about when you get there.
Oh one more thing if you havent already, go check those giant question marks on the maps.

Vampire Survivors - Road to v1.0: Day 3 - Steam News
On Day 3 we're bringing back something from the past! If you have been following the development of VS since the early days, then you probably know that the Inlaid Library used to have a different background music. That track was a major inspiration for the development of the Library (eg...
Nice...hoping they release the OST on Bandcamp or physical to buy it...
LOL... I was planning to edit my last post for today's announcement... XD...
I usually hate video game music, who ever did the music is very good, it's very catchy and fits the theme perfectly.
One of the only reasons I keep playing it.
Day 5 of the Advent Calendar/Road to 1.0...
Why would you want to skip it? Not criticizing, genuinely curious. I rarely get them, and I'm usually glad when I do.
I think I'm probably just dumb. Skipping animations sounds great.
Started playing this on my deck last night and next thing I knew 3 hours blew by and I had to hurry up and fall asleep 😂. Incredible how easy it is to get hooked
It's a great handheld game. I've played this more than everything else combined on my Deck so far. Been rough on my left stick, though. Ordered some silicone lubricant to see if that helps with the plastic grinding.
Yes I meant the animation, it's like a 20+ second animation so it adds up if you play enough lol. Especially if you've got an egged up character with enough luck that all chests are the five item ones.
OH MY GOD THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR IN THIS THREAD!Day 5 of the Advent Calendar/Road to 1.0...
thk u devs who read my post here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/vampire-survivors.538196/post-94087431
I'm glad I'm not alone in over-enthusiastically grinding away at the stick 😅
How? I was just curious because 99% of those names can be properly appreciated only by Italians like me 😅Your post...
i'd be surprised if like >80% of anybody who plays this game regularly doesn't have it on mute most/all of the time. that said it makes me appreciate the new update more
what i've heard is pretty good though, if i had time i'd do full runs with no podcats/music/ect going on
I don't think I've been especially rough with it, and I only have maybe 50 hours total on my Steam Deck. Never had this happen with a controller without years of heavy use.

So, something weird is happening. I get really nauseous after playing for about 10 minutes. I notice as I'm staring at the center of the screen, there's this weird effect while I move around, like I'm zooming out slowly but I'm not, like my eyes are creating this strange effect. I started getting nauseous and what's funny is, this happened playing on my Deck a few days ago.
I fucking love the game but can this be a thing? Or am I imagining it?

the constant closing in of enemies from the side could be having a weird effect on your vision, yeah. for me a similar thing happened when I was playing guitar hero 2 a ton lol, I would look around the room and for a while everything looked like it was scrolling up. Probably a good sign to take a break for a bit!
Day 8 of the Advent Calendar/Road to 1.0...
The whip is one of the best early weapons. It can one shot most of the early stuff.
A vampire survivor can't be downloaded to your PC unless it's invited. Start sending poncle those emails!
