Vampire Survivors has introduced an exciting new expansion, the Emerald Diorama DLC, in collaboration with the acclaimed Square Enix RPG series, SaGa. This update brings a host of content, including over a dozen new playable characters, various items, evolutions, and much more. The most appealing aspect of this expansion is that it is completely free. However, some players are encountering challenges when trying to unlock the new stage within the game.
While the Emerald Diorama expansion is available to all Vampire Survivors players at no cost, there is a significant hurdle for newcomers aiming to access the SaGa content. Players are required to explore one of the existing maps to unearth a secret item that unlocks the SaGa DLC. This hidden item, known as the Emerald Disk, comes at a substantial cost.
Unlocking Emerald Diorama in Vampire Survivors
To commence the journey into the new SaGa DLC, players must first gain access to the Emerald Diorama stage by acquiring the crucial Emerald Disk. This item can be purchased from a hidden merchant located in the Moongolow stage of the base game.
This merchant can be found on the far left side of the Moongolow level, marked with an arrow and an icon similar to other special items in the vicinity. As he is the only character present on that side, locating him amidst the other cluttered icons is straightforward. The Emerald Disk is priced at 50,000 gold, available as a one-time purchase, and the merchant does not offer any additional items. To utilize the merchant, players must ensure that the Emerald Diorama DLC is installed first. Some players have overlooked the necessity of downloading the expansion prior to launching Vampire Survivors, which can lead to confusion.
For those players who find themselves short on gold, earlier stages in Vampire Survivors are excellent for farming gold efficiently. Although the 50,000 gold price may intimidate new players initially, with some gameplay, accumulating the necessary funds to buy the Emerald Disk should be quite achievable.
Once players have successfully purchased the Emerald Disk, the Emerald Diorama stage will be permanently accessible within Vampire Survivors. Players can then delve into the new map, discovering how to unlock all the fresh SaGa characters and evolve the newly introduced weapons. Despite being a free DLC, the Emerald Diorama expansion is packed with a wealth of content for fans of Vampire Survivors to dive into and enjoy.
