How to unlock the Skip 5 achievement in Vampire Survivors - Definitive Guide
Ok, so there is a super easy way to do this, but it requires a bit of set up to accomplish.
First unlock Moongolow, then go to the vizard located in this level and buy his unlock "glass vizard" for 10,000 gold. This lets him spawn in all levels.
Second, defeat the boss in the fifth stage, Cappella Magna to unlock the Arcana "Game Killer".
Now pick Porta as your character (unlocked by reaching level 4 with lightning ring).
Start with the Game Killer arcana.
Make sure you have a decent amount of gold, then enter Boss Rash and run to the Vizard and buy all the weapons.
Then simply kite the enemies and level everything up with chests. You'll do ridiculous damage and the AoE will be insane. If you've been working through the game normally you should have already met most of the requirements. Have fun with easy mode. 😜

Couple notes.
First, this guide is awesome; made it easy to get the achievement on my first try. Next, you can choose the "Hurry" option when setting up the session and get this done twice as fast ... Hurry sets the clock to x2 speed but you still get 15 minutes worth of credit if you survive until the end. This is how I got the achievement.
The last thing is that the final boss from Cappella Magna appears. I wasn't ready for this and tried fighting him like all the other enemies that show up ... I took a lot of damage. If you remember, the Cappella Magna final boss has damaging zones that will stripe the screen vertically and horizontally; if you stay in those areas, you will take damage! Just be mindful of this boss and the rest should be cake.

Quick and easy. Thanks for the setup! I didn't even think about the merchant/game-killer combo. I hadn't purchased the merchant yet before trying that map the first time.

Boss Rush works a bit different from the other bonus stages. You're in a small arena, and as expected, bosses will continually come at you. There are normal enemies at times too, to help level up, and as you'd expect, each boss you beat drops a treasure chest, so you can try to evolve weapons too.
The main issue/difficulty with Boss Rush isn't the bosses, because they behave just like normal enemies, so you can just kite them around the arena while you kill them. The main source of difficulty is when the columns and rows of attacks start popping up on screen. These often force you into small tight areas that make it far harder (and sometimes impossible) to dodge enemies, bosses, and projectiles. As a result, one of the best items you can get during this stage is the Laurel, with second being the Pummonia. Being strong is great for taking out bosses, but it doesn't help you recover from the obstacles on screen. The Laurel will provide much needed invincibility as you navigate around the arena, and the Pummonia will accelerate your healing when you inevitably do take damage.
I personally ended up using the Pentagram on my first run, and it took out nearly every boss on screen every time it activated. While it did erase the treasure chests, it also eliminated all enemies, making me just need to focus on dodging the obstacles rather than worry about killing bosses and dodging them. I wouldn't say it's required though, and would more focus on survivability for this stage rather than DPS.

The easiest way to complete this mode is to select the Porta character and at the start immediately select the Game Killer Arcana.
The character will not grow in level and will retain his insane cooldown bonus, the lightning ring will annihilate everyone, and he can be upgraded using chests. Most of the time I just stood still, literally 1 enemy made me run a little.
