Vampire Survivors: How to break the Seal of the Banished

To break the Seal of the Banished, you need to go to the Abyss Foscari stage with Eleanor. To unlock her, you will need to find her coffin in Lake Foscari – one of the two stages belonging to the Tides of the Foscari DLC. If you don’t have the Abyss Foscari stage unlocked, you need to unlock it by breaking the Seal of the Lake.

Head towards the Prismatic Missile on the map. This is marked on your map on the southwest side. After picking that up, continue west toward the Stone Mask and Attractorb icons which are on your map. When you are near the Stone Mask and Attractorb icons, you’ll see a blue emerald, similar in appearance to the Seal of the Lakes. This is the Seal of the Banished.

To break the Seal of the Banished, you must hit the blue emerald with SpellStorm. To get this weapon, you will need to level up SpellString, SpellStream, and SpellStrike. You earn these weapons by raising Eleanor’s level to 10 and 20 respectively, so just focus on leveling as you make your way towards the Seal’s part of the map.

When the seal is broken the final boss of the Tides of Foscari DLC, Je-Ne-Viv, will appear, so get ready for a fight. If you die in this encounter, don’t worry. By simply breaking the Seal, you unlock the ability to buy Genevieve Gruyere in the main menu.

  • Seal of the Lake: Use the Millionaire weapon with Keitha Muorto to break the seal.
  • Seal of the Abyss: With Maruto Cuts, evolve the Eskizzibur weapon into Legionnaire – level Eskizzibur and the Armor item to level eight and five, respectively – and break the seal.
