Big Trouser is one of the secret playable characters in Vampire Survivors. His starting weapon is Candybox.
Unlocking[]
"Run away from Moonglow with all 16 accessories mastered."
In Moongolow, collect all 16 standard stage items and raise them all to max level. The character will be unlocked after the stage is left after fully upgrading all 16 items.
Because Tiragisú is lost once both of all the revives have been used, one attempting to unlock Trouser must leave the stage after all accessories have been leveled fully. Ending the run through death will result in not having a Tiragisú at the end of the run, and Trouser will not be unlocked. The run can be left either through quitting it manually, or being teleported to Holy Forbidden at the 14 minute mark.
Gains Boros is recommended for the exponential leveling. In addition, it is recommended to set weapon limit to 1 in order to avoid diluting the item pool with weapon pickups, since Boros's Heaven Sword is ample enough to handle the enemies.
After unlocking, Big Trouser can be purchased for 5,000, which scales with other characters purchased.
Alternatively, Trouser can be unlocked in the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane by casting the spell "earrivatolarrotino".
Passive bonuses[]
Trouser gains +1% Greed every level. There is no cap on this bonus. starts with +20 Max Health and +1 Armor.
Trouser has longer Gold Fevers by multiplying its duration cap and duration extension from Gold pickups by 1.5.
Tips[]
- With Candybox, Trouser can start with any base weapon (or no weapon at all).
- With his scaling Greed and longer Gold Fevers, he is one of the best suited for gold runs.
- Trouser is great for gold farming if you do not have the Tides of the Foscari DLC to use Sammy or have a really low end computer. If you have Sammy unlocked, you should use him instead as he can greatly outperform Trouser in gold farming.
- For gold farm runs, it is recommended you have at least 5,000 Golden Eggs on Trouser. You can use Queen Sigma to funnel Golden Eggs to Trouser.
- Between 5,000 and 150,000 Golden Eggs, you should use Greatest Jubilee along with Sarabande of Healing (or Blood Astronomia) and Disco of Gold with the Inverse, Hyper, and Endless stage modifiers. Make sure Limit Break is disabled and you select Gold Bags upon level up. Picking up a weapon like Crimson Shroud to help you kill enemies may be needed.
- 150,000-1,000,000,000 Golden Eggs on Trouser is much the same as above, although now you should no longer need an additional weapon besides Greatest Jubilee.
- Above 1 billion Golden Eggs, swap Greatest Jubilee for Garlic/Laurel/Pentagram and swap Disco of Gold for Wicked Season. Now Gold Fevers are not worth pursuing as the level up gold and the Greed from Wicked Seasons outperforms it.
- Recommended settings are Hyper Mode on, Arcanas on, Limit Break off, Inverse on, and Endless on. It is extremely important that Limit Break is off and Big Gold Bags are selected as level up choices. Limit Break should not be used for Trouser gold farm runs.
- When you are in the millions of Golden Eggs, most weapons stop killing enemies due to Curse enemy scaling. So damage from Sarabande of Healing or Blood Astronomia is required.
- For gold farm runs, it is recommended you have at least 5,000 Golden Eggs on Trouser. You can use Queen Sigma to funnel Golden Eggs to Trouser.

Trivia[]
- Big Trouser's design and code name are a reference to the character Pantalone found in Commedia dell'arte (or Italian comedy). With his exceptional greed and status at the top of the social order, Pantalone is "money" in the commedia world. This also explain his growing Greed each level.
- The spell "earrivatolarrotino" is a reference to the figure of the "arrotino", a travelling salesman who sharpens tools and often fixes other items as well. It's a popular figure in many italian cities due to its notorious slogan, which starts with the words "E' arrivato l'arrotino" ("The grinder has arrived"); similar figures and slogans can be found abroad too (e.g. in Madrid)
