Lama Ladonna is a playable character in Vampire Survivors whose starting weapon is the Axe, one of the default weapons you can access from the start of the game. While the Axe has high-damage scaling, it is quite clunky to use and is not optimal when dealing with hordes of enemies from multiple directions. On the other hand, the Axe’s Evolution, Death Spiral, is a much better weapon, as it can reach foes from all angles. You can evolve Lama’s Axe with the Candelabrador. However, most players will likely want to unlock Lama Ladonna, not for her starting weapon or stats but to obtain the Skull O’Maniac.
Unlocking Lama Ladonna in Vampire Survivors
To unlock Lama Ladonna in Vampire Survivors, you must survive 20 minutes with Curse at 10% or higher. If you are unfamiliar with Curse, it is one of the stat upgrades you can interact with in the Power Up Selection screen accessible via the main menu. Curse affects enemy spawn rate, speed, and HP.

In other words, the higher your Curse is, the more challenge you will experience when attempting to survive a Stage in Vampire Survivors. Fortunately, only a minimum of 10% active Curse is needed to unlock the playable Lama Ladonna character in Vampire Survivors. Nevertheless, you should make sure you have taken several Power Ups before attempting to start a Stage with Curse active. 10% might seem like an insignificant amount, but the difference will become noticeable, especially after the 10-minute mark.
We recommend using the characters you are most comfortable with to unlock Lama Ladonna in Vampire Survivors. In other words, if there is a specific build you are comfortable with and know works well for extended survival, then using that build would be the best strategy for surviving 20 minutes with active Curse. For instance, we found that surviving with evolved AoE weapons in the Inlaid Library is much easier than enduring Curse-enhanced enemies in Mad Forest or Dairy Plant. Still, the preference will vary, so you might think another stage is easier. Once the 20-minute mark has passed, you can return to the Character Selection screen, where Lama will be available for purchase.
Vampire Survivors is available on Android, iOS, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and PC.
