But once you reach the thirty-minute mark, the game ends with Death swooping in and killing you instantly. However, there is a way you can survive this encounter, and even defeat the grim reaper. <\/p>\n<p >In this guide we\u2019ll teach you how to survive for over 31 minutes in the Inlaid Library to unlock the Disco of Gold Arcana and defeat Death to unlock the secret Red Death character.<\/p>\n<h2 ><strong>Before the run<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p >For both surviving Death and eventually defeating him (the latter being the much harder task of the two), you\u2019ll need to have already spent a lot of gold on upgrades and power ups. If you don\u2019t have enough gold to buy most of the upgrades, this is probably a task best saved for later in your <em>Vampire Survivors<\/em> journey.<\/p>\n<p >If you\u2019re ready to take on Death, though, purchase all the power-ups except for three: Growth, Curse, and Magnet. If you\u2019re low on gold, you can also ignore Greed for this purpose. (Note that you can easily refund your gold if you\u2019ve already invested in the three power-ups listed above).<\/p>\n<p >When your power-ups are set up, select the Inlaid Library map, turn hyper mode on (and hurry mode off), and select Clerici as your character (whom you unlock by regenerating 1,000 health total).<\/p>\n<p >Now, start the run.<\/p>\n<h2 ><strong>Setup<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure ><span ><\/p>\n<p>    <span  data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23454183\/Vampire_Survivors_Screenshot_2022.05.11___14.07.25.70.png\"><\/p>\n<picture  data-c data-cdata=\"{\" asset_><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/tXw0IGH77HtOb_G4s5ur4MaHKBo=\/0x0:1920x1080\/320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23454183\/Vampire_Survivors_Screenshot_2022.05.11___14.07.25.70.png 320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/Ik3dnr2MfBx_ffcXzgWFEDvDMAE=\/0x0:1920x1080\/520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23454183\/Vampire_Survivors_Screenshot_2022.05.11___14.07.25.70.png 520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/WsduGwnXxwUT-zpGzohVuL7tkww=\/0x0:1920x1080\/720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23454183\/Vampire_Survivors_Screenshot_2022.05.11___14.07.25.70.png 720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/IEm-yArkvl5XiyWfwAy8rqvkU80=\/0x0:1920x1080\/920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23454183\/Vampire_Survivors_Screenshot_2022.05.11___14.07.25.70.png 920w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/544YLJFRoyborCBmAjayfDIMMZo=\/0x0:1920x1080\/1120x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23454183\/Vampire_Survivors_Screenshot_2022.05.11___14.07.25.70.png 1120w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/2OPlfMm73Zg9QEWvkC8_HMPai-U=\/0x0:1920x1080\/1320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23454183\/Vampire_Survivors_Screenshot_2022.05.11___14.07.25.70.png 1320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/H6T52qOo0pWvON0P9d2_SowtOFk=\/0x0:1920x1080\/1520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23454183\/Vampire_Survivors_Screenshot_2022.05.11___14.07.25.70.png 1520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/9oPl2pWiINCPGxGezJWh0lj4hZ4=\/0x0:1920x1080\/1720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23454183\/Vampire_Survivors_Screenshot_2022.05.11___14.07.25.70.png 1720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/jEOZHPD5HBQZhEKirgOCVBhI6-w=\/0x0:1920x1080\/1920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23454183\/Vampire_Survivors_Screenshot_2022.05.11___14.07.25.70.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1221px) 846px, (min-width: 880px) calc(100vw -

Once you have control of Clerici, you need to move fast. <\/p>\n<p >Walk up and to your left. Grab the green gem to instantly level up once and grab Runetracer. If Runetracer doesn\u2019t appear in your options, reroll until you get it or quit and restart \u2014 Runetracer is mandatory for this strategy. <\/p>\n<p >Once you have Runetracer, quickly run around the table to your left and walk up into the little cubby. Place Clerici\u2019s right hand (when she\u2019s facing you) just under the clock. Her head should be in-line with the left-most crack in the bookshelf. Check the image above and mimic our placement.<\/p>\n<p >At this point, you should still be level two. If you\u2019ve accidentally leveled up to level three or higher, back out and try again.<\/p>\n<p >If you\u2019re in the correct position and still a low level, you\u2019ll shoot out a massive Runetracer, blocking the entrance to the nook. This is due to Clerici\u2019s special bonus, which increases the area of her weapons while she\u2019s still low level. <\/p>\n<p >All you need to do now is wait until 30 minutes. You might take some damage on occasion, and you might die. But if you\u2019re dying regularly, you\u2019re likely out of position.

Once you see him, quickly run out and look for the red gem on the floor. This gem will have dozens of levels worth of XP in it. <\/p>\n<p >As you grab XP and chests on the way to the gem, here are the items you\u2019re looking for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li >Santa Water<\/li>\n<li >Runetracer<\/li>\n<li >Laurel<\/li>\n<li >Clock Lancet<\/li>\n<li >Bracer<\/li>\n<li >Spellbinder<\/li>\n<li >Empty Tome<\/li>\n<li >Candelabrador<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p >Knife, Bone, Attractorb, and Magic Wand are all good additions to fill in the rest of the build.<\/p>\n<p >Once you\u2019re set up and leveled up, grab the chests around you and try to evolve your weapons.
