I'm really happy with how experimental the developer got with this game. He could have easily just banked on the proven formula but decided to do more. For those that don't know. Yellow Sign essentially unlocks the endgame
Yeah! The game seems super simple at first, which it kinda is, but it's impossible to deny that it's made with love and passion. It knows what it wants to be and it achieves it perfectly
bro I pulled the free version off of the Apple Store, and then I encountered the Yellow Sign without any knowledge of it. Holy shit did I fear that I downloaded malware or something.
I love the level leading up to it. Near the end where space warps and then the weird sky church thing and then those hands, not to mention it doesn't even have a sprite for the item itself... not to mention some of the thing Tyler is going to be able to unlock now. I am very much looking forward to these next few videos.
Pssst: Moongolow doesn't *quite* have every item. If you ever want to do an all items run, you'll need to grab a level of Torrona's Box before you run round grabbing the rest.
The Grim Grimoire will only show evolutions of already discovered evolutions on the save file. So when you get a new weapon you have to experiment on how to evolve the weapon first.
@@amberwarrior459 If the evolutions are not discovered the evolution and passive item to evolve it will show up as question marks until you acquire the evolved weapon. I cannot remember that if you get the evolved weapon through the Super Candybox II Turbo (like the Candybox but gives evolved weapons instead) that it will unlock the path or not.
while I have yet to play this game myself, I'm fairly sure the yellow sign is a reference to the cthulhu mythos - there's a great old one within that called Hastur, known to bestow a yellow sign upon various people to get them under their control. The yellow sign is known to grant those who have seen it various supernatural abilities.
The King in Yellow was another story by Robert.W.Chambert if you like Romance and super natural you should read it. Lovecraft got inspired by hit after reading it.
I just played this character you were playing in the first part of this video. It doesn't have 2 modes. It spawns the spikes for a certain amount and when you right or left click the mouse OR stop, it fires the pinions in the exact direction you are currently facing. so the strat is to line them up, face the mobs and face their direction and either stop or click
Not seeing the rings or the left and right magic on the maps while he plays will always feel strange to me... at this point they feel like part of the game, but are actually an unlock
Great that you got yellow sign AND happened to meet the requirements to unlock big trouser (which are to finish a run in moongolow with all the passive items you can pick up fully leveled. This includes tiragasu which you lose when you run out of revives so it can be really hard to accidentally get the unlock as even if you complete the stage the red reaper will drain all your revives meaning you technically don’t have max tiragasu at the end of the level and don’t get the unlock)
I think the way the gold fever's bar works is that it drains faster and faster, and each gold you pick up refreshes it by the same small amount - so it will drain and run out eventually, but if you get enough gold from it you can keep it going for a long time
Highest i got was around 750k gold but that was HELLA optimized but wasn't the ideal build I believe in that run I got around 70 million gold total after some overnight farming
@@AyushSharma-ne9zs i got 6.8m in a single gold fever (laster 15 minutes) and did an hour extended run of hyper inverse hurry bone zone with wicked season on a super egged up Gains with limit breaks, was fun AF
The merchant kind of unlocks the postgame essentiallly with golden eggs. You can use trouser to farm gold and earn a bajillion gold, then spending it on golden eggs to form an infinite loop, and get the most broken character with like +10k% stats
Shadow pinion is amazing, the 'harpoon' launches in the direction of your movement from the spikes on the ground. This means you can control the area and concentration of damage from this weapon. Its rlly fun to play
Getting the yellow sign is probably my favorite experience with the game, I never would have done moongolow if it weren't for a friend pushing me to do it since it was his favorite level.
I actually know how the attack works when you walk it builds up the spikes on the ground and when you stop moving it launches them in the direction you were facing
2 vampire survivors videos in a row? This is amazing. Also the thing in bone zone isn't cuz of the yellow sign but Oyu should go there anyways. Also as a hint for what you should do next time. - get 2 weapons that don't do damage but are good for reapers - you'll need a lot of levels
23:21 So it seems like this is just random shuffling of the letters in the intro screen :/ Wish someone told me that before I tried every cipher and unscrambler I knew
I did my first run in moongalow with the dog character that has celestial dusting, that is truly the worst weapon for the secret level by far. The secret is pretty easy with po tho since he just one shots pretty much everything that comes your way
@🌟 Wander the Nomad I don't understand Gato amori at all, I never really use it lmao. The big scratch effect seems to trigger at random and it rarely happens for me
@@waterinferno2071 happens if two cats collide, catss eating chicken raises the chance (and adds a tiny scaling damage buff ) causes friendly fire, scales with amount and luck more than anything.... its evolved form is a BIT cracked though, especially on a gold farmer Big Trouser
so that cutscene is apparently a cthullu reference. the yellow sign is a reference to the king in yellow. the shadowy clapping hands are apparently the being responsible for making the sign. the weird text is representing the insanity the sign gives people
At first i was like: nah. The same game after one year surely not that much of new stuff. But wtf i was wrong. So many hidden things. Cant wait to see new content of this game. Thanks Tyler!
If you ever pick up Shadow Pinion again, be aware that if you're willing to use the mouse and keyboard together, Shadow Pinion can be laid using the arrow keys for movement and fired by pressing the mouse button.
I love this game and the passive items you get from yellow sign allows for better gold grind if needed. They also have a surprise if you get to close to them so be prepared.
You really need something good to decipher the upside-down/mirrored text. I did both and still only have a jumbled mess. It's *something* but I just can't figure out what...
im sure you’ve already heard of them but there are four hidden items on each map, which evolve in pairs and with the laurel/clock lancet, I highly recommend trying them
My playthrough encountering this was the character that only has a pentagram to start. Good lord, that made this stressful. Barely managed to clear it before dying
yellow sign reminds me of the thing I heard... "Behold the yellow sign become my slave my eternal captive audience. I am entropy, disorder. where things are built tall I appear to knock them down. Nations, monuments.. relationships. I steal the hearts and minds of the rich and powerful to break them and litter my court with them like gold dust."
Shadow Pinion works best if you use a controller so you can attack in any direction and not just the eight cardinal and ordinal directions, similar to Knife
whoever is watching this one year later series, one year later, let it be known that there is no random damage, the damage numbers are not accurate as they show +5 to -5 damage of what the weapon is actually doing, but the weapon always does the same damage. for example if a weapon does 15 damage, it always does 15 damage, but the damage numbers might show 10 to 20
The story of the game is really weird, but I like it slightly spoilerish fun fact (if you watch the video, it won't be spoilers, just a regular fun fact): Typing "iwanttoseeitagain" on the main menu allows you to go back to holy forbidden (the name of the level with the yellow sign)
While I agree, I don't blame him on not playing with maximum efficiency because playing on this map can be very overstimulating when you're not fully prepared/experienced
@@oppanaenaestyle4758 Perhaps, but I've also noticed that Tyler tends to take off his thinking cap outside puzzle games.

The text on the warning screen is flipped, rotated, and randomized. Beyond that, there's nothing secret in it.
Shadow pinion can attack forwards, it just attacks in the direction you were facing when you stop
and the harpoon things come from the trail of things on the floor
oh and they attack when the player stops moving
This is LITERALLY turning into inscryption and I could not be happier
I love how this stage really let's you answer the question of every game like this: "what if I had every item at once?"
He finally did it! The hunt for the secrets has begun
while I have yet to play this game myself, I'm fairly sure the yellow sign is a reference to the cthulhu mythos - there's a great old one within that called Hastur, known to bestow a yellow sign upon various people to get them under their control. The yellow sign is known to grant those who have seen it various supernatural abilities.
The King in Yellow was another story by Robert.W.Chambert if you like Romance and super natural you should read it. Lovecraft got inspired by hit after reading it.
Hastur also drives people utterly MAD and delirious (hence the yellow reaper, named Maddener, messing with you with all the holy imagery)

I find it so funny how the editor just zooms in on Tylers face every time he makes an indirect dirty joke
I think the way the gold fever's bar works is that it drains faster and faster, and each gold you pick up refreshes it by the same small amount - so it will drain and run out eventually, but if you get enough gold from it you can keep it going for a long time
I got it up to like 119k one time. Shit is nutty. Also important to note it goes up by like 1 coin per enemy killed.
Highest i got was around 750k gold but that was HELLA optimized but wasn't the ideal build
I believe in that run I got around 70 million gold total after some overnight farming
Pretty sure you get a lot of the bar back when you pick up coin bags too (and maybe even coins dropped from vases/light sources)

I was hoping to see more of this and you've been delivering. Thanks!
This game took a whole different turn and I'm all for it
how shadow pinion works is that it lays spikes while you move which can then be fired by stopping. it does nothing while you are standing still
further note: it also shoots the pinions/spikes in the direction you are facing when you stop moving
Shadow pinion is amazing, the 'harpoon' launches in the direction of your movement from the spikes on the ground. This means you can control the area and concentration of damage from this weapon. Its rlly fun to play
I unlocked this spoiler free and it was one of the most freaky things i saw blind in my entire life.
It happened!! The secret item is something you will love.
Everyone give him a round of applause (Foreshadowing)
Getting the yellow sign is probably my favorite experience with the game, I never would have done moongolow if it weren't for a friend pushing me to do it since it was his favorite level.
I stayed up till 5am for this upload. Thank you Tyler
Please either do Capella or build clock lancet and laurel next run. I'm so glad to have all this vampire survivors content again.
he doesnt know about the artifacts yet.... he did just unlock the ability to even see them and their Guardians

Finally Vampire Survivors has an actually skill based weapon!

Yellow sign! Yellow sign! This brings me back to the time I would play for the new content and get my mind blown with the newest additions
It feels really good to finally have Subverted Expectations that actually improve the experience.

This game has been the best series. Love it.
At first i was like: nah. The same game after one year surely not that much of new stuff. But wtf i was wrong. So many hidden things. Cant wait to see new content of this game. Thanks Tyler!

13:46, daft punk reference(harder better faster stronger)
Not a spoiler, just a tip. You can tell if a chest will evolve something if you see only evolution items in the middle roulette.
Just fyi wether a chest can evolve doesn't depend on the current time, it depends on when the biss that dropped it spawned.
Tyler spends the entire round not figuring out how the new weapon actually works.
The reaper says...."I don't think so" 😅
This is just a really good farming map made by the developer? That's actually so sick
This is some inscryption type shlt

Pity that the new character has his own music, you missed the soundtrack of moongolow
In cthulu mythos the yellow sign causes madness in those exposed to it
god i love vampire survivors
Did he film this before the last epsode? His reaction to gold rush implies so
It's possible he just forgot how the pickup item looked like. I experienced the gold rush a few times before I realized which pickup was causing it
cant wait until he unlocks the clock rings
The game not letting you level the pinion or showing the fusion is because you don’t have it unlocked yet but you can use it as the character
I was high as hell when I got the yellow sign and when the clapping happened it scared the shit outta me haha I was entranced
15:13 If the Speed Crab Swarm and the *Redddd* didn't tell you the Map was mad, *this did!*
You were the vampire fighting forces of heaven all along... how the tables turn.
Mr Editor, you're doing a fucking great job by showing us all this shit Tyler is picking up
Shadow Pinion works best if you use a controller so you can attack in any direction and not just the eight cardinal and ordinal directions, similar to Knife
Or if you use mouse controls, but I have never actually heard of anyone doing that

- No mask! No mask!
Godly timing bro just got my food 😁
the aliens really do rock though
Can't wait for him to unlock Bat Country
that ones a bit far away.... still has to "beat the game" before he can even think about unlocking it
You might need a hint for future runs - try to evolve clock lancet and laurel.
The tiles look like the floor of my bathroom and its throwing me off
She is the best non secret character imo
The yellow sign will allow you to unlock a ton of secret characters like boon marrabio and missigN[]
