Getting 230 Levels From a Single Gem! | Becoming the Best at Vampire Survivors 

This explains the random massive level ups I would get on occasion! Very insightful and helpful.

There's so many cool little tweeks running on the background of this game... From easy waves after unexpectedly hard ones to this exp modifier thing, there's a lot more thought put into the game than what it seems at first glance

I really like the intros with you talking over the footage. Gives us some context without boring us. Kudos

I came to learn about the mystery of why I sometimes level up five times at once, but I'm more immediately confused at how he's able to skip the treasure chest animation

min/max more by banishing before using rerolls when you know there are things you never want for a run. You rolled garlic a few times

Hear me out here. A maze map with no time limit and the map only shows "?" all over. With one in the" middle" being a coffin, some other item, or even a speedrun style get to the middle first. The map changes its pattern so pathing is harder to learn.

Could you maybe put timestamps in the video if you restart a run? I only want to watch the final run

wouldn't it better to take the explosion arcana first? that can speed up ur early lvl.ing a lot. just do ur usual face planting into enemies ;) ... u would have a 3/4 chance for tiramisu arcana at min 11:00 ... which could be a run killer, if u dont get it :/

What is this square in the center of the screen and on the right I keep seeing at 18:22 ?

You can overcap using the additional tomes. Even though it says you have the same bonus in the pause menu the cooldown is definitely faster.

I feel like this is something you could do a thousand times, and it would go differently every single time. almost need to ignore chests entirely, or it screws everything up. something like, focus death spiral, so at 10min you get that upgrade, rest of weapons are kind of whatever. maybe lightning ring for some edge clearing. Edit: this lets you skip tiragisu, going for something else. maybe luck, assuming that affects chance to crit?

So that's what happens when you stand still, it looks like you're not getting gems but it's actually all contained within one red gem

And what kind of music do you use? Where can I listen to it?

I love watching these runs

Hey Nate, I have the 273 level World Record, video still on my channel. I don't save any exp until late. but I though i lost the WR last night to a 276 but its was pulled down.

Good shit mate. 275 is the library record if I recall, was 273 the other day by the same guy

garlic evolves with pummarana to do Soul Eater that has a screen-wide range, and steals HP whip can also be evolved to a hp-stealing ability. spinach is the way to evolve it, but i'm not sure. a third weapon: the union of the two guns a fourth gun: the two birds and the last one, the knife who becomes a star of destruction thing is, axe are awesome too, cats too. too bad cats can't be united.

Hi Nathan! Can we get a "First Upgrade Only" Challenge. Came up with the idea of only choosing the top item in your level up.

song of mana is the 'final evolution' of garlic

I would like to see harder bosses, I think adding special levels where at 30 mins a super high hp boss with dodge able attacks spawn and maybe a possible cycle between a boss roster (new boss every week)

When going through this, I know the build and getting closer to that 40 level is a little bit tricky, but while going through did you consider waiting to grab tomes 2 and 3? Since you can overcap with the map drops? I had a tome level 7 last night and it was completely stupid for cooldowns

People are sleeping on the Hellfire + Heart of Fire card combo. It mows down crowds insanely fast, even the last wave at 29 minutes was getting cleared out pretty well. When I was on Leda, it was doing 22K DPS and managed to do about 2.8 million damage in just a few minutes.

Why do your axes fly so high? Mine only go a bit above my character

super helpful, although I’m still confused how to figure out which is the mega gem

I got a super good run yesterday for most kills on this map and ended up 300 or so less kills than #1. I'm #2 on the leaderboard atm.

Hello. How do you see the arrows pointing at the map upgrades? Is it a mod?

How does he have the pointer things to the empty tome I always have to look on the map to find out how far I have to go still

i was able to get my reaper kill like this, not at level 2 but i was like 13 or so until the end. then I quickly grabbed laurel and lancet and whatever else I could get

What song at the beginning?

Vampire Survivors + Death Stranding = Undeath Stranding

So does skull have any positives aside from like higher chance for special enemies to spawn?

What is this char that looks like death but its kinda buggged

As far as I know, this is the level glitch where you keep gathering EXP on low levels and get a single red gem with all the exp at level 40. The reason you collect it at level 40 is because of how the levelling works, and for some reason it takes more exp to go from 40 -> 41 than to go from 34 -> 40, so it gives crazy growth on that one level (+100%), and if you collect a red gem with exp equivalent to nearly all of the game, it gives more levels than just playing normally. It is banned on the main leaderboards, but it is allowed on the limitless boards (along with other glitches and missingno). The level record with it on the board is 312 with Leda

So what level is thr Reaper? 40 or ur current level

Also, could be wrong here, but the record for exp stacking (what you did on this run) is consider "limitless" and not an official record. Also that limitless record is 312 at the moment

could u name your music play list cuz everytime i tries to identify 1 single song you talk..ALOT :D and some of that music sounds great to me ty :)

curious, how do you move between levels? i can never even move an inch, wondering how you can consistently

Has the bug been fixed where empty tomes need to be leveled up first in order to gain the cooldown effect on weapons?

U could just leave a gather item till the very end once u no longer need anymore lvls. I just did this and it ended up giving me over 50 lvls at the end as reaper was killing me and I didn’t even have a build meant for lvling it was just build to reach 100 for achievement

How do you have so many revives?

Nice clipe bro from Norway😎

The red gem for an afk build. Excluding Gorgeous Pentagram which erases enemies and collects gems.

No hate but is there any way you could take the chat off screen it would make it a lot more enjoyable

Does any1 know the song name at 13:40? :>

Wow that's crazy!

isn't that 220 levels? 40 + 220 = 260? math is hard af

Need more spin ach and candle Collaborator

I think they should add pvp of some kind… 15 minutes to lvl your toon against waves then teleported in to a dueling arena 5v5 maybe:) makes for some cool team build ideas with carries and such!!

Mad.. i hate being called nate but nath, nathan or Nathaniel no problem for me

guys, can anyone please tell me how to obtain the ability to ban/skip an item? it is hard to get the exactly items you need, but with the ban ability, things will be much easier. I saw people have it, but I just don't know how to have it. Thanks.

Why particular at lvl 40 u get 2x exp?

they should make "the red gem" white.

The survivor balancing is so bad, at this point they can just stop having different survivors.

When i see ppl pick the guns i stop the Video because later they turn into OP Lasers wich Makes the game trivial. Thank god This isnt one of em

You need to try this with toastie :P

abysmal math skills but good game play

The title is a lie. Even with ALL of the xp in the end, you gained 221 levels, not 230.

Had an itch to buy this game but I've watched a lot of replays of it that I don't need to buy it anymore, I know how it's going to go 👌

Great video ;)

interesting

so it's a useless strat because you need to get the right gem.

Vampire Survivors? Really? You missed a chance to make the perfect game title for this Vampire Survivors/ Death Stranding crossover: Death Survivors.

Now create a way to make it work at toastie and u ae a god XD

I like your videos, but I can't listen to you say Tiragisu one more time.
