This is a guide I wrote for myself after 100% completing the game on PC and preparing to do the same on mobile.
Following this guide, you can complete the game from start to the final fireworks in a couple of hours.

Comments
Early game & Porta
  • Get Magic Wand to level 7 (unlocks Duplicator).
  • Defeat 5000 enemies (unlocks Lightning Ring).
  • Get Lightning Ring to level 4 (unlocks character - Porta for 500g).
  • Purchase Amount powerup (other useful powerups: Magnet, Cooldown, Area).
  • With Porta farm Mad Forest until you get those ^^^ maxed.
At this point you should have no troubles with completing Mad Forest, Inlaid Library and Dairy Plant up to the point where Death appears (at ~30:00). If having troubles - see "Early game tips" section below.
Mid game & Leda
  • Reach level 20 in Mad Forest (unlocks stage - Inlaid Library).
  • Reach level 40 in Inlaid Library (unlocks stage - Dairy Plant).
  • Reach level 60 in Dairy Plant (unlocks stage - Gallo Tower).
  • In Gallo Tower Travel south until the screen is completely dark on the edges and music changes. Find and defeat Leda (unlocks character - Leda for 733g).
Leda is one of the most powerful characters in the game. Leda starts with Holy Wand (evolved Magic Wand) +100% Might (x2 damage), +10% Area, -10% Cooldown, +5 Armor (but -80% Greed and -20% Movement Speed).
Finding relics
  • Find Milky Way Map in Dairy Plant (unlocks pause menu map and displays stage items location). Just follow the green arrow.
  • Find Randomazzo in Gallo Tower, north (unlocks Arcanas). Just follow the green arrow.
  • Kill bosses appearing at 25:00 on four normal stages (unlocks stage - Moongolow).
  • Reach level 80 in Gallo Tower (unlocks stage - Cappella Magna).
  • Start Moongolow with Porta (Leda doesn't work with this event). Kill the boss that spawns on 14:00 - you will be teleported to Holy Forbidden. Walk through the stage and find the Yellow Sign (unlocks Rings and Metaglios on most stages).
  • Kill the boss that spawns on 31:00 in Cappella Magna and collect Great Gospel (unlocks Limit Break). Reapers spawned on the stage can be killed by using Rosaries.
  • Purchase Glass Vizard from merchant in Moongolow for 10000g (unlocks merchants in all stages).
Unlocking best arcanas (optional)
You don't actually need to collect all these arcanas to complete the game, but obtaining it will make your runs easier.
  • Get Pentagram to level 7 (unlocks Christine).
  • Reach Level 50 with Christine (unlocks arcana - Wicked Season).
  • Find Concetta's coffin in the Gallo Tower (unlocks Concetta). The coffin is marked on the map as "?" and located in a hidden room, entered via a mirror on the left side of the tower near the coffin.
  • Reach Level 50 with Concetta (unlocks arcana - Boogaloo of Illusions).
  • Reach minute 31 in the Mad Forest or defeat Death (unlocks arcana - Mad Groove).
  • Reach minute 31 in the Inlaid Library or defeat Death (unlocks arcana - Disco of Gold).
  • Reach minute 31 in the Dairy Plant or defeat Death (unlocks arcana - Silent Old Sanctuary).
If having troubles defeating Death, see "Mid game tips" section below.
Late game
  • Collect all remaining Relics from stages. Just follow green arrows. In The Bone Zone follow "?" displayed on the map, defeat Sketamari, collect Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane (unlocks stage - Eudaimonia Machine; unlocks secret menu).
  • At Eudaimonia Machine select "Too Easy" (unlocks Inverse Mode).
  • Start any stage in Inverse mode. Exit. Start Eudaimonia Machine again. Get Seventh Trumpet (unlocks Endless Mode).
  • Start any stage in Endless mode. Exit. Start Eudaimonia Machine again. Defeat The Directer (unocks Greatest Jubilee).
Congratulations. You've beaten the game.

Now you can unlock remaining items, characters, achievements, etc. (see "Unlocks" & "Secrets" ingame menus) or farm golden eggs to make any character OP (see "Golden eggs farming" section below).

Golden eggs farming
You can farm enormous amount of gold with Big Trouser to buy eggs (from merchant) and make any character OP.

If you have the Tides of the Foscari DLC, check out this guide for more efficient farming:

Early game tips
  • While playing Porta try not to take any exp gems for the first ~2 minutes of the run (to keep cooldown reduction longer).
  • In Mad Forest you can take Garlic early to kill bats easily (unlocked by finding 5 floor chickens)
  • Chest being dropped by the Glowing Bat that spawns on 1:00 in Mad Forest can evolve weapons. So, take it when one of your weapons is ready to evolve (is at level 8 and the required passive item of any level presents in inventory).
  • Don’t buy/play other characters. It's a waste of gold and adds junk items to the item pool.
  • Pick Attractorb ASAP to get exp and level up faster.
  • Pick all 6 different weapons early (all benefits from +1 amount powerup and Duplicator item). Pick Duplicator early.
  • Focus on getting weapons evolution ASAP.
Pick 6 evolutions. At my experience, the best setup available in early game is:
  • La Borra (Santa Water + Attractorb) huge AOE DPS and you need Attractorb anyway;
  • Thunder Loop (Lightning Ring + Duplicator) good AOE DPS and you need Duplicator anyway;
  • Heaven Sword (Cross + Clover) good AOE DPS;
  • Death Spiral (Axe + Candelabrador) good AOE DPS. More AOE is good anyway;
  • Holy Wand (Magic Wand + Empty Tome) cuz you need Empty Tome anyway;
  • Hellfire (Fire Wand + Spinach) why not? Spinach helps boost DMG anyway.
Unlocking conditions:
  • Candelabrador - Get Santa Water to level 4
  • Empty Tome - hold 6 different weapons at once
  • Fire Wand - destroy 20 light sources
  • Attractorb - find a Vacuum (random drop from light sources after your character reaches level 12)
  • Clover - find a Little Clover (rare random drop from light sources)
  • Cross - find a Rosary (random drop from light sources after your character reaches level 8)

Mid game tips & how to defeat Death
  • Use map to see "free" items on the stage. Take those items when you already have all the slots occupied.
  • Pick Wicked Season as you first arcana. Try picking up exp gems only when Growth bonus is active (crown displayed).
  • To easily defeat Death you need Infinite Corridor and Crimson Shroud weapons. So, get Laurel & Clock Lancet and pick up Silver Ring/Gold Ring/Metaglio Left/Metaglio Right stage items. Then evolve.
  • You can use Mad Groove arcana to attract all stage items.

Please comment down below if I missed something important, or you have any other suggestions.

If you keep dying at the early stage, try to grind some more and get additional PowerUps. It helps a lot. Also, I can recommend you to watch "Dex" channel on youtube. This guy has multiple guides for Vampire Survivors which helped me when I was a newbie.

I died all the time. I just gave up and played the game normally.

@DeadpoetC
Porta "starts with temporary cooldown bonus" that lasts until leveling up. It's a character-specific thing
DeadpoetC 13 Jun, 2023 @ 2:51am 
I don’t understand why not taking exp in first 2 minutes? I mean what cd reduction thing you mentioned? Is it in game mechanics?
