Vampire Survivors: Blue Death on Cappella Magna

The first way to stop Capella Magna’s Blue Reaper is to kill them with direct damage. This can be a very difficult thing to do at the beginning of a run, though, as only a handful of weapons in Vampire Survivors will be able to consistently hit the enemy in the early-game. As such, it is recommended that players that want to take this approach start by continually moving upward and away from Blue Death until they have a few good weapon evolutions in hand.

While there are numerous weapon evolutions in Vampire Survivors capable of bringing down the Blue Reaper, those that give players directional control are particularly good for the task. For example, the Knife’s evolution, the Thousand Edge, can be sent repeatedly and directly at the foe, and fans that use it should bring down the Blue Reaper without too much trouble. The Bloody Tear, the Whip’s evolution, can also be effective in this situation, as it is possible to get on the same vertical axis as the Drowner without touching their hazard.

Alternatively, players can work to delete the Blue Reaper using either the Pentagram weapon or the Rosary item. Of these two options, the Pentagram is the one that fans can access most consistently, and Vampire Survivors characters may want to pick it up early to prepare for the Drowner’s arrival. Notably, this weapon will also deal with the other Reapers that appear on the Cappella Magna stage, giving it some additional value.

Once a player has addressed the Blue Reaper, they may want to head toward the stage’s coffin in order to unlock a new character. That character is Zi’Assunta Belpaese, and she has a unique starting weapon: Vampire Survivors’ Vento Sacro. Players can also put their efforts toward defeating Trinacria, an enemy that appears in Cappella Magna at the 25-minute mark, and doing so will unlock the Hyper version of the stage.

Vampire Survivors is in early access on PC.
