Boss Rash is the third challenge stage in Vampire Survivors. This stage can be unlocked by unlocking hyper mode for all 5 normal stages.
Alternatively, Boss Rash can be unlocked in the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane by casting the Spell "peakgamedesign".
Description[]
The monsters want entertainment, and if we win their game, the loot is ours for the taking. Let us face these recycled assets and do what we do best... survive!
Effects[]
Waves include a lot of bosses from all stages with increased health. Every minute the enemies health multiplier increases by 0.1, without a cap.
Two round pressure plates spawn every 30 second mark until 9:30. The blue pressure plate with an hourglass symbol fast-forwards time to the start of next minute. The red pressure plate with a skull symbol spawns the current wave's bosses again. Arcana holders do not respawn. Pressure plates disappear at the start of the next minute, if they have not been triggered.
Hyper Mode[]
The hyper mode for this map is unlocked by default after unlocking the stage.
Hyper mode in Boss Rash has +50% Gold and +10% Luck bonuses, but it also increases enemy health by 50%.
Items[]
The following items can be found in this stage:
Pickups[]
Two Floor Chicken, two Orologions, one Nduja Fritta and one Rosary are located outside of the arena. They are entirely inaccessible without the use of Mad Groove (VIII).
Stage items[]
All passive items, excluding Torrona's Box and including the 4 secret passives, are located outside of the arena. They are entirely inaccessible without the use of Mad Groove (VIII) (or by clipping through the wall with high speed).
Waves[]
Waves in Boss Rash approach from all four sides of the player.
- NOTE: As official sources name only a few of the enemies, unit names are mostly made up based on their internal IDs and are subject to change.
