How to Unlock The Bone Zone in Vampire Survivors

To unlock The Bone Zone in Vampire Survivors, you’ll need to unlock Hyper Mode on three stages of your choosing. To unlock Hyper Mode, you will need to defeat the bosses that appear at the 25-minute mark on each stage:

  • Dairy Plant: Sword Guardian
  • Gallo Tower: Giant Enemy Crab
  • Inlaid Library: Nesuferit
  • Mad Forest: Giant Blue Venus

With the exception of the Giant Blue Venus, all of the bosses have resistances to instant kill items, such as Rosary, Gorgeous Moon, or the Pentagram. They are all equally resistant to Freeze and Knockback, and all but the Venus are resistant to debuffs. 

The max health of each of the four bosses is dependent on your player level.

  • The Giant Blue Venus has 150x your level in health.
  • Nesuferit and the Sword Guardian each have 250x your level in health.
  • Giant Enemy Crab leads the pack with 500x your level in health.

They have equal base damages of 30, but varying movement speeds. The Venus is the slowest, with a speed of 160, followed by the Crab at 200. Both Nesuferit and the Sword Guardian are slightly faster than the Crab at 210. 

What is The Bone Zone? Explained

In The Bone Zone, light sources spawn twice as frequently as they normally do in Vampire Survivors. However, they will strictly drop Gold Coins and Coin Bags. Similarly, the Gold Bonus for this challenge stage is 50% when playing in Normal Mode, and a whopping 100% when playing in Hyper Mode (which is unlocked for this stage by default). These two factors make it a great place to farm gold, which ultimately helps you get more Golden Eggs.

There are countless unique enemy types that you will face in The Bone Zone, including both the Drowner and the Stalker, making this the optimal stage for trying to unlock the secret character, Toastie. 

Both enemy movement speed and maximum health is increased in The Bone Zone. The speed multiplier jumps by 0.05 every minute, while the health jumps by 0.03 every minute. This may not sound like a lot, but the exponential growth will really begin to add up as you get further and further into your run. 

After 30 minutes, like in other stages, Death will appear in The Bone Zone. His health is 655,350x your player level, his base damage is 65,535, and his movement speed is 1,200. For all intents and purposes, he is impossible to kill, but that certainly doesn’t mean you can’t try!

With The Bone Zone unlocked, you have yet another challenging level to conquer in Vampire Survivors.
