The Golden Egg in Vampire Survivors is a pickup item that permanently increases a random stat on the player's current character by a small amount. Since the goal of Vampire Survivors is to survive as long as possible against constant waves of monsters, the Golden Egg can give players some necessary boosts to help prevent damage from creatures when they come in with the player.
Although roguelike games have only been introduced to the mainstream gaming audience as a new genre in recent years, Vampire Survivors already defines the genre. Golden Eggs boost a character's starting stats but only take effect for the next game session. Players can get their hands on a Golden Egg by purchasing it from the Merchant for 10,000 gold, killing one of the four Masked Guardians or a Moon Guardian, or killing Death with Infinite Corridor or Crimson Shroud.
Best Ways To Get The Golden Egg in Vampire Survivors
The simplest way to get the Golden Egg in Vampire Survivors is by purchasing from the Merchant for 10,000 gold apiece. Players can buy as many Golden Eggs as they want as long as they have enough coins, and they can use any of Vampire Survivors' best gold-making builds to earn more gold. Players can find the Merchant at Moongolow, the second bonus stage in the game after they've unlocked Hyper Mode on four normal stages. Players can also force the Merchant to spawn in other stages if they've purchased a Glass Vizard from him for another 10,000 gold coins.
Another way players can earn a Golden Egg is by simply casting an Honesty Spell by using the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane in The Bone Zone. Players can get the Honesty Spell after unlocking the Moongolow Stage and Hyper Mode in Vampire Survivors. Alternatively, players can use cheat codes in Vampire Survivors to get the spell without doing all the work.
Vampire Survivors players also have a chance to collect a Golden Egg by defeating Masked Guardians in any of the game's stages. Of the four Atlanteans in Vampire Survivors that guard various stage items, one is sure to drop a Golden Egg when defeated, but the chance is entirely random. These Masked Guardians include the Sun Atlantean, which guards the Gold Ring, the Moon Atlantean, which guards the Silver Ring, the City Atlantean, which guards the Metaglio Left, and the Volcano Atlantean, which guards the Metaglio Right. The boss of Moongolow, known as Moongolow Atlantean, also has the chance to drop one Golden Egg after being defeated.
Finally, when it comes to farming Golden Eggs in Vampire Survivors, The Reaper is probably the best source players can find, as this enemy may drop up to five Golden Eggs at a time. The Reaper, also known as Death, appears on each stage once the time limit for that specific stage reaches zero. For this enemy to drop Golden Eggs, however, players need to defeat The Reaper using either Infinite Corridor, which is the evolution of the Clock Lancet in Vampire Survivors, or Crimson Shroud, which is the evolution of the Laurel.
Players that take their time progressing through Vampire Survivors' various stages have likely come across this creature a fair share of times, but unfortunately, only defeating it with certain weapons grants Golden Eggs as a drop item.
