Vampire Survivors is an indie survival game where players can find items like the Stone Mask to gain character stat bonuses and loot. Vampire Survivors is a minimalistic game focused on players killing enemies, a simplistic Bullet-Hell style game that is easy to learn, but hard to play. Beginners to Vampire Survivors should be patient and avoid the temptation to run into a swarm of enemies; tanking can result in death, so it's best to create builds that focus on AoE attacks and evasion. In order to help make survival easier, items like the Stone Mask help players by providing opportunities to find more gold and buy more items.
There are 5 main stages in Vampire Survivors and several unlockable ones. As players survive for periods of time in each stage, they can move on to the next one. There are various items in each of the stages that help players survive for longer, like Vampire Survivor's Magic Banger in the Inlaid Library. These items are intended to help players progress through the levels and survive the onslaught of vampires.
New players should consider hunting down the various items throughout the game to make it easier to survive the 30 minutes required to pass the stage. While players can progress stages faster than 30 minutes by reaching a certain level, knowing how to create builds, find items, and survive is instrumental in being successful at Vampire Survivors.
How To Get The Stone Mask In Vampire Survivors
The Stone Mask is found on Vampire Survivor's second Stage, the Inlaid Library. Vampire Survivor doesn't require button pressing to move, and there is no mechanic for picking up or using items, so players only need to walk over the Stone Mask to collect it. To unlock the Inlaid Library, players need to reach level 20 in the first level, Mad Forest. Players should focus on evolving Vampire Survivor's weapons to make it easier to reach level 20. Alternatively, players can unlock the Mad Forest by surviving the first level for 30 minuets. The Stone Mask will be sitting in a small alcove at the top of the screen. There will be several alcoves, so keep an eye out for the one with the Stone Mask sitting in the middle. Simply run up to the Stone Mask, select "Get", and the character will collect it.
The Stone Mask has a passive buff that grants players a 10% Greed bonus per level, increasing gold drops. It can be leveled up five times, eventually granting a 50% gold bonus, This item will be especially helpful for players looking to purchase better weapons. Secondary to the increased gold buff, players can use the Stone Mask to upgrade the Gatti Amari weapon into the Vicious Hunger weapon. After the Inlaid Library is Vampire Survivor's Dairy Plant stage, which players can unlock after reaching level 40 in the Inlaid Library.
