There’s a new character inVampire Survivors. Well, there are actually two new characters, but this article will only be dealing with one of them - Cosmo Pavone. Cosmo continues the trend of non-humanoid characters being introduced into the game; this time, instead of a dog, tree, demonic meatball, or dragon shrimp, it’s a phoenix.

This character gets a generous amount of starting bonuses and can have more weapons than most characters. There are a few hidden bonuses Cosmo receives as well. This high-flying character has the potential to be one of the strongest inVampire Survivorswith the right build.
Unlocking Cosmo Pavone
As withnearly every character inVampire Survivors, Cosmo will require a little work to unlock. Fortunately, unlocking Cosmo isn’t as difficult as many of the other characters. To begin, the player needs toselect a character that hasn’t benefited from any Golden Eggs. This includes eggs gained from the merchant, as well as those gained from the killing the Masked Guardians, Moon Guardian, and Death. Simply turning off the egg bonuses during character selection doesn’t bypass this requirement.
The player can see if a character has received any eggs by selecting them in the character selection screen. This will put that character’s stats in the window to the left. Towards the bottom of this window is the Golden Egg counter for that character. Next,select the Cappella Magna stage; it doesn’t matter what options the player turns on or off - like Hyper Mode. The player must nowget the Ebony Wings and Peachone weaponswhile playing. After getting these two weapons the player must head north.
Shortly after passing the Crown and Tiragisu stage items the player will find a gated-off balcony with a Nduja Fritta Tanto in front (see the picture above). Cosmo is trapped behind the gate, which is removed after the player picks-up the Nduja Fritta Tanto. Now the player needs towalk down the balcony and pick-up Cosmo. After this the player can exit the stage and return to the character select screen. Cosmo should beavailable to purchasefor 666 gold.

Using Cosmo Pavone
Cosmo begins with-80 to Max Health, +30% to MoveSpeed, +1 Recovery, +20% Luck, and one extra Revival. As if this isn’t enough, Cosmo gets an extra Revival every 100 levels (so, one additional Revival), and a +1 Recovery and +1% Luck every level. Towards the end of a run, with the rightpassive items, players can have Cosmo healing faster than Deadpool.
This characterbegins with two hidden weapons,Ebony Wings and Peachone. These start at level one and gain a level for every ten levels Cosmo gains. It is possible to have two sets of Ebony Wings and Peachone. Lastly, when Cosmo uses a Revival it also has the effect of the Rosary pick-up item. Due to this Rosary effect, and the fact Cosmo starts with a low Max Health, it is advisable to selectthe Sarabande of Healing arcana. The Rosary effect gets stronger with each Revival; to the point it can kill enemies not normally affected by the Rosary.
