A brand new update for Vampire Survivors is out today, February 9, that adds a wealth of new content to the game. Sinking our teeth into the v1.3.0 patch notes, one of the first things we noticed is the introduction of a brand new challenge stage with a name reminiscent of the Avenged Sevenfold hit, Bat Country. The challenge stage contains 2 relics needed to unlock the Charm power up along with Mortaccio’s morph ability, and contains low XP gain but high enemy density.
Elsewhere in the patch, it’s noted that three new achievements are being added along with some tweaks including the addition of a team member to the credits. The full v1.3.0 patch notes were shared to Steam.
Spoiler Warning: The patch notes contain mild spoilers for certain aspects of the game so if you’ve yet to fully dive into Vampire Survivors, you may want to do that before digging into what’s new in the game’s latest update.

Trippy
Contains the 2 relics needed to unlock the Charm power up and Mortaccio's morph ability

Please remember that in stages where the background moves, there in an option to disable such movement
Pizzas appear on new runs after getting both relics. They simply allow to change the background and have no other effect
Apoplexy relic:
Unlocks Charm PowerUp. It increases enemies spawn quantity, for each single wave, by 20 per rank (max +100)
Chaos Malachite Relic:
When reaching Level 80, Mortaccio morphs into a big bone boy and his Bone weapon evolves into Anima of Mortaccio
He gains +2 Armor, +1 Amount, and +100 MaxHP. He fully recovers HP.
Anima of Mortaccio fires bones just like the base Bone weapon, but the bones accelerate after every bounce. Big spinning arms appear around the player. Sometimes they detach and start flying around, dealing base damage times Amount. It's currently obtainable only by morphing Mortaccio.
