The Bone Zone is the second challenge stage in Vampire Survivors. This stage can be unlocked by unlocking hyper mode for 3 stages.
Alternatively, The Bone Zone can be unlocked in the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane by casting the Spell "rottingpizza".
Description[]
Calcified carnage awaits where the dead go to live. If we speak unholy vespers we will open the way, but should we not go home? Have we not dug too deep?
Effects[]
In The Bone Zone light sources attempt to spawn twice as often, but only drop Gold Coins and Coin Bags. Enemy health and speed multipliers are increased every minute. Normal mode grants a 50% Gold bonus. Every minute the enemies' health and speed scale by 0.3 and 0.05 respectively, without a cap.
Hyper Mode[]
The hyper mode for this map is unlocked by default after unlocking the stage.
Hyper mode in The Bone Zone has +100% Gold bonuses.
Items[]
The following items can be found in this stage:
Stage items[]
The 4 hidden stage items are present, if the player has obtained the Yellow Sign. Milky Way Map displays the locations of these items. One of each item is guaranteed to appear.
- Silver Ring: north of starting area.
- Metaglio Right: east of starting area.
- Gold Ring: south of starting area.
- Metaglio Left: west of starting area.
Relics[]
One relic is located in The Bone Zone.
- Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane: Defeat Sketamari due south of the starting area, moving back and forth horizontally.
Waves[]
Enemies in The Bone Zone 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 with some added flavor and are subject to change.
