New DLC is now available for Vampire Survivors across all platforms it's available on. It adds a large map, 8 new characters, 12 new weapons, and 7 music tracks. This was a great surprise to wake up to with a notice from my mobile version of Vampire Survivors. It's a good themed DLC. Very much feels like a steal at $2 (US) for everything that it brings to the table with the new weapons and characters. Below is EVERYTHING you can unlock in the new DLC. There's plenty there and a lot to enjoy. It's a great couple of hours to do.

 

Lake Foscari

“An enchanted forest stuffed with fae mysteries and mythological entities. The perfect place to have an average adventure with zero complications.”

 

Just like the Moonspell, this is a fixed but massive map. There are a lot of areas to explore, included 2 mazes. You always start in a Fae Circle with the merchant nearby. This is the map of Lake Foscari I've added to across a few playthroughs. It shows where to find the Coffin with Eleanor, where the Green Crystal is, and the fixed drop locations of various useful items.

 

Abyss Foscari

An unlockable secondary map, but it requires unlocking Abyss Foscari, Abyss Foscari, and Keitha Muorta. It has 2 expandable areas that have specific requirements. All this is revealed by breaking the seals.

 

Getting Started unlocking Characters and Items in Tides of Foscari

Everything has to start somewhere and it all begins with heading to the new map: Lake Foscari. You need to unlock Eleanor Uzinor (the person shown in the DLC title) to begin everything with the unlocks.

 

Unlock Eleanor Uzinor

When it comes to Vampire Survivors, the unlocks are always where you want to start. It all begins by finding and unlocking Eleanor Uzinor. She's found in the top left corner of the new map: Lake Foscari. Just make your way there, fight through the circle of Mushroom Men and open the Coffin to unlock her. Everything will stem from her in terms of unlocking items.

 

With Eleanor Uzinor unlocked, everything else can be unlocked and a number of items still remain that will come from you working with the other characters and achieving certain goals. Let's work on her weapons first: SpellString, SpellStream, and SpellStrike. You also can get the passive item: Academy Badge

 

Creating Spellstrom

Ultimately, these can be combined to make the Spellstrom weapon. Unlocking Spellstrom requires that you have SpellString, SpellStream, and SpellStrike maxed at level 6. Collect a chest at that point and you will unlock Spellstorm. Just select Eleanor Uziron and start a run. She starts with SpellString and causes both SpellStream at Level 10, and SpellStrike at Level 20, to appear on the ground nearby her. This also means you need to watch what you're collecting to ensure you have enough space in your weapon slots to collect them. But getting all 3 of them to Level 6 will allow you to unlock the Union Weapon: Spellstrom! Unlocking Spellstorm has the added benefit of unlocking Maruto Cuts.

 

Unlock SpellString

Survive 15 minutes as Eleanor Uziron.

 

Unlock SpellStream

Get to SpellStrike level 6

 

Unlock SpellStrike

Just get SpellStrike to level 6

 

Unlock Academy Badge

To unlock the Academy Badge, you need to obtain it. Reach Level 30 with Eleanor Uzinor and you've done it!

 

Unlocking Maruto Cuts

Unlocking Maruto Cuts just requires that you unlock SpellStrom. Just do that, complete your run (or just exit a bit after) to complete the unlock.

 

Unlock Eskizzibur

With Maruto Cuts unlocked, you can unlock a new weapon, the Eskizzibur. This can be easy or hard, depending on how well Maruto Cuts works for you as a character. You need to survive 15 minutes as Maruto Cuts on any stage.

 

Evolving Eskizzibur to Legionnaire

Eskizzibur will evolve into Legionnaire if you can met the requirements. This weapon follows the normal rules where you will need to get to Level 6 for Eskizzibur and Level 5 for Armor. After that, you just need to find a Treasure Chest to unlock Legionnaire.

 

Unlock Keitha Muorta

Unlocking Keitha Muorta requires that you evolve Eskizzibur in to Legionnaire. This only requires that you get Eskizzibur to level 6 as well as getting Armor to Level 5. Keitha Muorta is the last part of the trio guarding the Lake.

 

Unlock Flash Arrow

You will need to survive as Keitha Muorta for 15 minutes to unlock Flash Arrow for everyone's use.

 

Evolving Flash Arrow to Millionaire

Having unlocked Keitha Muorta, it's time to get his weapon evolved into its final form, Millionaire. This requires getting 3 items to max level: Flash Arrow, Bracer, and Clover.

 

Unlock Luminaire Foscari

To unlock Luminaire Foscari, you will need to reach the Abyss Foscari stage with Maruto Cuts. To do this you will need to have: Legionaire. Once you've evolved Maruto Cuts primary weapon, you will need to find and shatter the Red Crystal found in Abyss Foscari. From the starting point, head to the South. When you reach the edge of the map, turn left. Head across either of the bridges when you get there.

 

Unlock Prismatic Missile

To unlock Prismatic Missile for all characters, you will need to survive as Luminaire Foscari in any stage for 15 minutes. There are no other requisites.

 

Evolve Prismatic Missile into Luminaire

Like all other DLC weapons, you will need to Prismatic Missile and Crown to max level. Luminaire has the effect: “Increase the value of gems and coins on the ground.”

 

Unlock Genevieve Gruyere

This one will take some work, since you need to “Break the Seal of the Banished” to begin. To do this though, you've some work to do since it will require the evolved weapon: SpellStrom. This is because you need to get Eleanor into the Abyss Foscari stage. Getting there takes some where begin just getting the weapons, since they're just part of the requisite. Make your way along the Western edge of the map, nearby where the Stone Mask and Attract Orb can be found on the map. Once you do find it and break the Blue Crystal there, you will unlock Genevieve Gruyere.

 

Unlock Shadow Servant

Once you've unlocked Genevieve Gruyere, you can easily unlocked her weapon: Shadow Servant. Just like with any other, you need to survive as Genevieve Gruyere for 15 minutes in any stage with any set-up.

 

Evolve Shadow Servant into Ophion

Like with any DLC weapon, to evolve Shadow Servant into its final form, Ophion, you need to max it and its support item. That item is the Skull O'Maniac.

 

Unlock Je-ni-viv

Je-ni-viv is an “easier” unlock character. You will need to unlock them, you will need to kill 100,000 enemies in a single run with Genevieve Gruyere. It does help to run the stage in Endless mode to ensure you can hit the requisite number.

 

Unlock Rottin' Ghoul

To unlock Rottin' Ghoul, you will need to make your way into Abyss Foscari. So, follow the requisites above to get into with Eleanor, Keitha, or Maruto. Of that trio, Maruto is recommended since his Crysal is the closest. You will always need Millionaire, Legionaire, and Spellstrom to break the Crystal to cross over. Once there, you will need to find and slaughter your way through

 

Unlock Party Popper

Unlocking Party Popper is something different. You need to purchase it from the Merchant in any run after you've unlocked Rottin' Ghoul. It will cost you 1,000.

 

Find the Party Pooper

This is the counter part to the Party Popper. Getting this requires have the Party Popper and acquiring the Gemini arcana card.

 

Find the Silver Sliver

This is the counter part to the Shadow Servant and Ophion.. Getting this requires have the Shadow Servant and Ophion. and acquiring the Gemini arcana card.

 

 

Unlock Sammy

Sammy is an easier unlock. You need to find and kill 6,000 Sammies. These are found to the South of the Green Crystal, be sure to take a moment to touch the Crystal. Head to the Trees from there and move along them to find an opening. This will let you slip into them and trigger the Sammies appearance. Just hang around here for 10 minutes or so and you should kill more than enough.

 

Unlock Hyper Lake Foscari

Unlocking Hyper Lake Foscari can easily be done in the first run. By making it to 25 minutes, you will trigger the Avatar of Gaea's appearance. This Spirit Stag is durable. But if you manage to kill it (and it takes a LOT) you will unlock Hyper Mode for Lake Foscari. This can be a great boon since it allows for very fast travel around the whole of the area.

 

Break the Seal of the Lake

Time to start working on accessing Abyss Foscari. To do this, you will need to have access to Keitha Muorta, and Millionaire. Once you have all this, it's time to get to work. Load into Lake Foscari. Head to the Lake along the Eastern side after evolving the weapon. You will find a large green floating crystal there. Get a square or so down from the Crystal. Once there, step left to right a few times then approach the Crystal to “Slam Dunk” the Crystal. After you've smashed this crystal, it's possible to find more so you can visit the area with the other characters of this trio. The crystals are in unique locations for each.

 

Break the Seal of the Abyss

Once you've gotten access to the Abyss Foscari, you're safe to exit the game (or just complete the run because). This is because Keitha Muorta has done all she can do. Next, you need Maruto Cuts. Go into Abyss Foscari with him and it's time to evolve his starting weapon into Legionnaire. Once you do, head into the Southern part of the Abyss. You want to get all the way to the South. Once you find the Southern end of the map, start going over to the left. You'll come to a broiling Barrier against the Western wall. Now, head to the North just a bit on the ground. You'll find the Red Crystal Floating there. You can only break it with Legionnaire. Once you do, you're good.

 

Break the Seal of the Banished

The final Crystal, and it's time to use Eleanor. Once again, head into Abyss Foscari. You will want to head South to the edge of the Map, then go West, to reach the new section that became available after you shattered the Seal of the Abyss. Cross over this Bridge then start marking you way to the North. The area you want to find is nearby where you can find the Stone Mask and Attractorb. To break this Crystal you will need SpellStrom.
