The Ars Gouda Relic in Vampire Survivors allows players to unlock the Bestiary. The Bestiary is accessible from the main menu, and it allows players to see how many of each type of enemy they have killed on their save file. Relics are items that can only be collected once per save file; once players collect a relic in Vampire Survivors, they permanently unlock a new game mechanic. These game mechanics can be chosen at the beginning of each new level before players choose a map.
There are 10 Relics in Vampire Survivors, and the Ars Gouda is one of two Relics that can be found in the Dairy Plant map. The connection between Gouda, a type of cheese, and the Relic being found in the Dairy Plant is not lost. Regardless of the cheesy pun, the Ars Gouda allows plays to collect information about the monsters they encounter and kill in the game. While it's not necessary to collect the Ars Gouda to beat the game, unlock secret characters, or find hidden levels in Vampire Survivors, players may like collecting it if they like statistics and completing games 100%.
