Vampire Survivors: This is how you unlock the new secret character

The Steam hit Vampire Survivors was already able to inspire numerous players when it was released in Early Access. Since then, the title has regularly received new updates that include new maps, characters, weapons, and other fun things. For example, Patch 0.7.3 was released on June 23rd and brought a new character, a new weapon, and a feature that allows you to change the color palette of the characters, as well as a secret character.

New Vampire Survivors character is a stationary tree

There are some hidden characters in Vampire Survivors. For example, one is obtained by defeating the Grim Reaper, another is obtained by entering a specific code in the main menu, and another is only obtained by modifying the game files. However, the new secret character from Patch 0.7.3 is arguably a little different from the other playable characters in the game. Called Peppino, this is a tree that can hardly move at all. However, he has a very high magnet value, which means that items just fly towards him.

Just as weird is the way you unlock Peppino. For this you have to “Use Celestial Dusting to heal the plants on IL Molise by 10,000 health points.” To do this, you must select the character O’Sole and run through the numerous plants on the Il Molise stage. You do this until you have restored 10,000 lives, which you can tell from a played sound effect.
