Seems like there is no such way for stopping this monster, except for one thing, which is Music. It becomes very clear to us when the demon targets Max. This is the time when the gang discovers that the only strategy to save her from his curse is to play Max her favorite song. Her friends then play the song “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” by Kate Bush, which helps in protecting Max’s life. Following this, a Twitter trend started used by a user named tonypraysick, after which, “What’s your Vecna song?” became a trick to ask for someone’s favorite song.

He said that Placebo’s 2003 cover of it would also have defensive powers over him.
