How to Get Santa Ladonna in Vampire Survivors

Santa Ladonna can be unlocked in Vampire Survivors by surviving 20 minutes in the Laborratory stage. The new stage was also introduced in the update, and the requirement to unlock the stage should be fairly easy for veteran players.

Once the Laborratory stage is unlocked, simply run out the clock for 20 minutes on the stage to unlock the ability to purchase Santa Ladonna. The gold requirement to buy Santa Ladonna may differ between players depending on how many characters have already been unlocked, though my price was around 5,000 Gold as someone who is only missing a few characters.

It should not come as much of a challenge for players who have easily cleared runs before with upgraded characters. The Laborratory can be a somewhat claustrophobic stage, so players should quickly equip a Garlic and other shield-type equipment to protect themselves from the onslaught. Once 20 minutes have passed, players can safely exit the run if they have not already died from Death at the very end.

Santa Ledonna is not an ordinary character and comes with a few bonuses, such as a temporary cooldown bonus and triggering a screen-clearing Rosary when at critically low health. The latter is perfect for giving players an extra breath to get some health or upgrade their weapons before the enemies can reconvene on your character.

Santa Ledonna comes already equipped with the Santa Javelin weapon, a missile that rains down from the sky periodically. It can be upgraded just like other normal weapons and the Santa Javelin can be evolved to cause even more damage.
