Functionality

Sticker of Vlad's Cape seen in the Journal's Run Recap.

Although it takes the appearance of a red cape on the ground, Vlad's Cape gives the player a pair of red wings when worn.

Vlad's Cape grants a double jump approximately the same height as the player's normal jump, as well as the standard Cape's gliding abilities once the double jump has been exhausted.

Additionally, entities damaged by the wearer bleed twice as much blood on hit (typically two blood drops on hit, made four with Vlad's Cape). This makes it easier to fill the Kapala.

• Attaching to a wall with Climbing Gloves or attaching to climbable object such as a Rope replenishes the cape's second jump.
• When used with Spring Shoes, both the player's initial jump and double jump have increased height and velocity.

Strategy

• See also: Jetpack, a commonly compared item.

Trivia

• In a Developer AMA, Lead Programmer Miguel "Micky" Pascual commented that Vlad's Cape was to originally have 2 charges (granting the wearer a total of 3 jumps). Although the team had misinterpreted the instructions given by Spelunky creator and Lead Designer Derek Yu, Yu found it to be more sensible and left Vlad's Cape with only a single charge.
