Vampire Survivors: MissingNo, how to unlock the secret character?

MissingNo, the playable boss of Vampire Survivors

In vampire survivors, different characters are offered to players to perform their runs, the latter offering their own skills and statistics. However, while a hidden and secret character, called Exdash Exiviiq, can be recovered after performing a small manipulation, another character, which you have already had the opportunity to meet in game, can also be unlocked. Indeed, the independent developer, Luca Galante, had the idea of ​​making the boss who kills you, normally systematically, after 30 minutes of play playable.

This character, called MissingNo with reference to Pokémon, offers statistics that will, without a doubt, allow you to experiment vampire survivors in a completely different way since all set completely random each time you return to the character selection screen. As a result, you may end up with a MissingNo monstrous, crushing the waves of enemies before they even approach him, or with a gruesome version where each enemy crossed will turn out to be a mini-boss.

How to unlock MissingNo on Vampire Survivors?

To recover MissingNo, the one and only way is to manage to kill him when he arrives at the thirtieth minute of your game. However, as you will have noticed, the boss does not really give you time to breathe and, unless you are extremely lucky and play with the decor of the library, your various attempts will be in vain. Obviously, for the smart ones who would have thought of it, the Pentagram object, on good timing, does not allow you to kill Death, otherwise called MissingNo. Therefore, it is better to use much darker techniques to achieve its ends.
