There are a few hidden new characters for players to find in Vampire Survivors update 0.6.1. A couple of these characters are well hidden and one of them is very well hidden. The very well hidden character is named Boon Marrabbio. To learn how to unlock Boon Marrabbio in Vampire Survivors see our guide below.

Step 1: Collect 100 Floor Chickens

To unlock Boon Marrabbio, you need to collect 100 Floor Chickens. Here’s how to farm them efficiently:

  1. Break Light Sources
    Light sources like candles and torches drop Floor Chickens when broken. Stages like Mad Forest and Inlaid Library are ideal for this.
  2. Level-Up Rewards
    Occasionally, Floor Chickens will appear as a level-up reward. Pick them when available.
  3. Treasure Chests
    Mini-bosses drop Treasure Chests, which may contain Floor Chickens.
  4. Boost Luck
    Increase your Luck stat using the Clover item or characters with Luck boosts for better drop chances.
  5. Farming Strategy
    Focus on stages with many light sources. Don’t consume Floor Chickens unless needed to ensure they count toward the total.

Once you collect 100 Floor Chickens, you’ll be able to unlock Boon Marrabbio’s hidden event.

Step 2: Start a Mad Forest Run

Once you’ve collected 100 Floor Chickens, head to the Mad Forest Stage for the next step.

Recommended Tips:

  • Ensure your build allows you to survive for an extended period.
  • Choose a character with strong damage output and good movement speed, as mobility is crucial for this unlock.

Step 3: Acquire Pummarola and Skull O’Maniac

On the Mad Forest stage, you need to collect two specific items to trigger the next part of the process:

  1. Pummarola
  2. Skull O’Maniac

These items can be:

  • Picked up directly from the map (check their locations on the stage).
  • Obtained as level-up rewards during your run.
  • Use Mad Groove Arcana to pull map items to you every two minutes.

Step 4: Follow the Cakes and Defeat the Shade Wizard

  2. After collecting enough cakes, an audio cue will play, signaling the appearance of a Shade Wizard—a tough enemy boss.
  3. Defeat the Shade Wizard to complete this event.

  1. Finish or quit your run. (There won’t be an achievement pop-up at this point.)
  2. Go to the Character Selection screen.
