Vampire Survivors: How to Buy Rare Weapons and Golden Eggs
Vampire Survivors is already overflowing with secrets, easter eggs, and unlockables so it's no surprise that the game also has an enigmatic secret merchant that you can encounter and will sell you incredibly rare and precious items or relics. In this guide, we will discuss how to encounter this merchant and what items you can purchase from him.
Vampire Survivors - Merchant
This Merchant is found in the Moongolow stage initially. However, to make him spawn in other stages, you have to purchase the Glass Vizard relic from him, costing 10,000 gold. He sells useful weapons and relics so if you ever encounter him for the first time, you should prioritize buying the Glass Vizard first and foremost.
Tip: Alternatively, if you already have the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane (unlocks the Cheat menu), you can cast the spell (cheat code) in the main menu by typing "eggseggseggs ".
Once you have spotted the merchant, you have to have direct contact to interact with the merchant and access his inventory. After closing the merchant's window, the merchant will disappear from the map. The merchant only spawns once per run; however, in Endless Mode, the merchant will appear once every 30-minute cycle. Once the merchant spawns, he will not disappear until the player interacts with him.
