Vampire Survivors Wiki

Ars Gouda is a relic located in Dairy Plant. Once collected, it permanently unlocks the Bestiary in the main menu, in which the player can view statistics for each enemy they have killed on their save.


Obtaining[]

Ars Gouda is located to the far south of the starting area in Dairy Plant. Its location is tracked by a green arrow on the player's screen. Once Ars Gouda has been collected, it will no longer appear on the map.

Alternatively, the Ars Gouda can be unlocked in the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane by casting the Spell "thistooshouldhavebeenunlockedbydefault".

Trivia[]

  • The name is a pun on the Ars Goetia, from the The Lesser Key of Solomon, a 17th century book that contained a list of demons.
    • Ars is a Latin word meaning art and is often used in ancient book titles (Ars Goetia = The Art of Witchcraft). Gouda is a type of cheese, as seen in its sprite having a cheese-like icon and being found in the Dairy Plant.
  • The Bestiary entries are written by James Stephanie Sterling, creator of the popular YouTube channel The Jimquisition.
