Xbox boss Phil Spencer somehow managed to 100% Vampire Survivors while managing the biggest videogame acquisition in history




Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer can't be too concerned about how the Activision acquisition is going, because he's dedicated over ten days of his life to getting every single achievement in Vampire Survivors, including the ones in its Legacy of the Moonspell DLC.

Bat Country
New challenge stage!
- trippy
- contains the 2 relics needed to unlock the Charm power up and Mortaccio's morph ability
- very low XP gain, but high enemy density
- not many light sources, but items can be dropped by diamonds
- please remember that in stages where the background moves, there in an option to disable such movement
- pizzas appear on new runs after getting both relics. They simply allow to change the background and have no other effect


Apoplexy relic: unlocks Charm PowerUp. It increases enemies spawn quantity, for each single wave, by 20 per rank (max +100).


Chaos Malachite Relic When reaching Level 80, Mortaccio morphs into a big bone boy and his Bone weapon evolves into Anima of Mortaccio
- He gains +2 Armor, +1 Amount, and +100 MaxHP. He fully recovers HP.
- Anima of Mortaccio fires bones just like the base Bone weapon, but the bones accelerate after every bounce. Big spinning arms appear around the player. Sometimes they detach and start flying around, dealing base damage times Amount. It's currently obtainable only by morphing Mortaccio.
