Rottin’Ghoul is one of the new characters that joined Vampire Survivors in the Tides of the Foscari DLC. However, how to unlock Rottin’Ghoul isn’t the most explained process in the game, and it requires quite a bit of time. To unlock this character, you’ll have to seek out the enemies most similar to Rottin’Ghoul in Abyss Foscari and take out thousands of them. While this might be a seemingly easy task, you’ll have to put quite a bit of time into farming the DLC stages just to get a chance to unlock it.
How To Unlock Rottin’Ghoul
Unlocking Rottin’Ghoul requires you to defeat 6,000 Rotting Ghoul enemies in Vampire Survivors, and then purchase Rottin’Ghoul from the character selection screen in-game. However, before encountering Rotting Ghouls, you must unlock the Abyss Foscari stage, the second stage in the Tides of the Foscari DLC. Once you’re inside the Abyss Foscari stage, Rotting Ghouls show up quite frequently, both in small numbers and in impressive swarms.
How To Unlock the Abyss Foscari Stage
Unlocking Abyss Foscari is probably the most time-consuming portion of the Rottin’Ghoul unlocking process. This stage, sealed by Luminaire in ancient times to contain the darkness within, is no easy stage to fly through with your favorite character. You must break the Seal of the Lake in the Lake Foscari stage with Keitha Muort, along with her evolved weapon, the Millionaire.
You can unlock Keitha Muort by evolving Eskizzibur, and then purchasing her from the character selection menu. Once you have, take her into the Lake Foscari map and make your way to the Seal of the Lake, which would be the large green crystal within the stage. You must use Keitha’s main weapon, the Flash Arrow, and evolve it into the Millionaire weapon using the Bracer and Clover accessories. This will unlock Abyss Foscari, allowing you to enter and find Rotting Ghoul enemies.
Once you finally make it into the Abyss Foscari stage, you must find and defeat at least 6,000 Rotting Ghouls, whose stats look a bit like this:
Stat | Amount |
Health | 120 |
Power | 7 |
Movement Speed | 100 |
KB | 0 |
Res-F | 0 |
Res-K | No |
Res-D | No |
Experience Points on Kill | 4 |
