Vampire Survivors: All Progress Challenges in A Garlic Paradise (Adventure)
Similar to the base game, A Garlic Paradise has its own set of achievements or tasks that will count towards your progress in this adventure. Aside from the conditions, you'll also see what corresponding character or stage is unlocked. In this article, we will discuss all progress challenges in Vampire Survivor's A Garlic Paradise adventure.

Vampire Survivor - A Garlic Paradise Progress Challenges
This adventure has a total of 14 challenges as listed below. You can press the Progress button to display all tasks, their requirements, and what they unlock.
Survive 10 minutes in An Old Mad Forest
Old Mad Forest is the first stage available in the adventure. You'll start off with the default character Poe Ratcho and just 5000 gold coins to purchase starting power-ups. Poe is slow and fragile and his garlic weapon's AoE can only hold off enemies for the first couple of minutes. Consider purchasing the following power-ups first before starting the stage.
- Defang (3% of enemies spawn unable to deal damage per rank, max 15%)
- Recovery (passive HP recovery)
- Might (increase attack)
As long as you survive for 10 minutes, you'll be able to complete this challenge and unlock the next stage even if you don't clear the stage shortly after.

Survive 15 minutes in A Rough Awakening
A Rough Awakening is the second stage and can be unlocked by surviving 10 minutes in the Old Mad Forest (preceding) stage. This stage has a lot of unlockables so you should prioritize collecting them first.
In this map, you'll find several characters and their respective weapons. The characters themselves act as merchants where you can permanently purchase new weapons. You can also pick up their respective base weapons right beside them to permanently unlock the characters in your roster (you still need to spend gold to purchase them before you can use them in combat).

It is possible to have more than six weapons in this stage, especially if you have collected new weapons when your character leveled up before picking up the character weapons.

Open the coffin in Risky Woods
Risky Woods is a third stage in this adventure and can be unlocked by surviving 15 minutes in the Rough Awakening (2nd stage). When you open the map, the coffin will appear as a question mark further to the south, along with the Cursed Mask and Rosary markers.

The path winds left and right so from the starting point, follow the path on the lower left, then to the lower right in the following area and so on. Once you're near the coffin, several enemies will spawn. You can quickly get past them and pick up the rosary to instantly destroy them and open the coffin to unlock Dommario.
Defeat a Jiva Tree in Rotten Orchard
Rotten Orchard is the fourth stage in this adventure and can be unlocked by opening Dommario's coffin in Risky Woods (see above).
You're only fighting off in a closed-off area and this stage only has a 15 minute limit. From the starting point, there are also several weapons and passive items to the north. Pick up the 5 Clovers, 5 Laurels, 5 Spinach, and 5 Celestial Dusting. Focus on getting more weapons and upgrading them so that you'll have more firepower to take out a Jiva tree.

You need to defeat a Jiva Tree to clear a progress challenge and unlock the next stage. A Jiva Tree will spawn shortly after starting the stage and more of them will appear throughout the run. It's hard to focus fire on a single tree since they all look the same and will teleport around the place as you move so try to max out your weapons as early as possible and try to deliberately target them, hoping that your damage output is enough to at least take one out before the run ends.

Reach LV50 in Garlic Paradise
Garlic Paradise is the fifth stage on this adventure and can be unlocked by defeating a Jiva Tree in the previous stage. Please refer to the task above for more information.
This stage is also a closed-off with a 30 minute timer. On top of that, there are also several pummarolas and garlics located in the northern part of the stage though you can only collect a maximum number of them. However, this combination will also give you access to the Soul Eater, the evolved form of garlic so you'll have a great start.

Evolving the garlic also completes a progression challenge that unlocks the character Peppino. Simply collect more weapons and max them out and you'll be able to reach LV50 safely and comfortably.

Defeat 3000 Molisani in Retirement
Retirement is the last stage of the game and can be unlocked by reaching LV50 in Garlic Paradise (stage 5). This stage doesn't have enemies that are actively hunting you down since it is entirely populated by various types of Molisani. These various plants just spawn in regular intervals and will still damage you if you touch them. However, they won't deal that much damage and they don't even release any projectile to be wary of. Simply move around and hack all the Molisani that appear in your screen to complete this task.

Find the Whip
This weapon is needed to unlock the character Antonio Belpaese. You can find it in the A Rough Awakening (second stage), a short distance to the northwest of the starting point.

Find the Magic Wand
This weapon is needed to unlock the character Imelda Belpaese. You can find it in the A Rough Awakening (second stage), a short distance to the northeast of the starting point.

Find the Runetracer
This weapon is needed to unlock the character Pasqualina Belpaese. You can find it in the A Rough Awakening (second stage), a short distance to the southwest of the starting point.

Find the Knife
This weapon is needed to unlock the character Gennaro Belpaese. You can find it in the A Rough Awakening (second stage), a short distance to the southeast of the starting point.

Find the Coffin in A Rough Awakening
Pugnala's coffin is located quite a distance to the northeast of the starting point. Its exact location will appear as a question mark on the map. Like other coffins, it is also guarded by enemies that will spawn once you get near. You have to destroy these guardian demons in order to touch the coffin and unlock Pugnala.

Evolve the Vento Sacro or find the Fuwalafuwaloo
The Vento Sacro weapon is needed to unlock the character Zi' Assunta Belpaese. You can find it in the A Rough Awakening (second stage), a short distance directly to the north of the starting point.

Evolve the Garlic
This can be easily achieved in Garlic Paradise (5th stage). There are several pummarolas and garlics located in the northern part of the stage that you can immediately collect shortly after starting the stage. On your next chest after maxing out the level of garlic, you should be able to get the Soul Eater, it's evolved form.
Reach LV80
This is achievable in the fifth stage (Garlic Paradise) since there's a never ending wave of enemies that will converge in a small area, attempting to overrun you. As long as you have your weapons maxed out, you'll be able to survive long enough to reach this level. Another thing to note is that there's no Crown passive item to collect, you'll have to rely on the Growth power-up and stage modifiers to increase your EXP gain.
