The other major complaint from players is that Golden Eggs cost too much, and their once massive gold reserves have been reduced to a few coins. The release of Version 1.0 of Vampire Survivors has addressed these complaints by adding an Inverse Mode to the game. With this mode activated, stages are flipped vertically.
Unlocking Inverse Mode
The first step to unlocking the Inverse Mode is to unlock the Eudaimonia Machine stage. Unlocking this stage requires the player to have obtained eleven relics in the game. The necessary relics are listed below:
Grim Grimoire Ars Gouda Milky Way Map Magic Banger Sorceress’ Tears Glass Vizard Mindbender Yellow Sign Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane Great Gospel Randomazzo
For new players, this might take a while. Once all relics have been obtained and Eudaimonia Machine is unlocked the player needs to visit this stage.
The Mysterious Entity
In Eudaimonia Machine the player will encounter the Mysterious Entity; a tree-shaped black form with hands and masked heads floating around it. Speaking to this creature will give the player two choices - Too Easy of Too Hard. The player needs to pick Too Easy; this gives the player the Gracia’s Mirror relic.
After making the selection the game will send the player to the Title Screen, which will be upside-down. At this point Inverse Mode is unlocked, and when selecting a stage the Inverse tab will be available at the bottom of the screen. The player can select an inverse stage and immediately exit to make Eudaimonia Machine available again.

Inverse Mode
While in Inverse Mode all enemies start with +200% Max Health, and gain 5% Max Health every minute, and 1% MoveSpeed every two minutes. The player receives +200% Gold and +20% Luck while playing an inverted stage. The Torrona’s Box passive item does a decent job of countering the increase in enemy health and speed - just remember to Banish it at level nine unless it’s needed to evolve the Victory Sword or Flames of Misspell. When combined with the Disco of Gold and Big Trouser character, the player can start earning huge sums of gold on a run during Gold Rush periods. Granted, surviving long in Inverse Mode isn’t easy, but the rewards are worth the effort.
The merchant sells additional items in the Inverse Mode; Banishes, Skips, and Rerolls can be purchased. An extra Skip option costs 100 gold, Banish costs 500, and a Reroll costs 1000. The player can also purchase an additional arcana from the Inverse merchant for 20,000 gold. Since the extra arcana is only for the current run, it is best to avoid this option. Players should save their gold to purchase Golden Eggs.
Vampire Survivors is available now on PC and macOS.
