How to Drink Vrakhir Blood in The Blood of Dawnwalker

Wondering how to drink vampire blood in Blood of the Dawnwalker? This guide will walk you through all the methods to consume Vrakhir blood and unlock powerful vampire abilities. Whether you’re defeating boss vampires or collecting blood vials, we’ll show you exactly how to get every vampire ability in the game.

Drinking Blood from Boss Vampires

The primary way to drink vampire blood is by defeating specific boss vampires and accepting the option to drink their blood during the dialogue that follows. When you kill Ambrus, Bikir, Zanfee, or potentially Brenches, you’ll have a chat with them that presents you with the option to drink their blood.

Boss Vampire Abilities

Each boss vampire grants you a unique ability when you drink their blood:

Bikir: Grants the Shadow Storm ability

Ambrus: Grants the Scarlet Shield ability

Zanfee: Grants the Blood Surge ability

These abilities unlock automatically when you defeat the boss and drink their blood. This is a critical step in the game, as failing to drink from them when you defeat them means you’ll need to find alternative sources for the blood later.

Collecting Blood Vials from Your Inventory

You can also obtain vampire blood in the form of vials that you can store in your inventory. For example, you may find multiple vials of Ambrus’s blood or Bikir’s blood that allow you to drink from these vampires even after their defeat.

These vials provide a second chance to unlock abilities if you missed drinking from a boss when you first defeated them. Check your inventory regularly for blood vials from defeated bosses.

Alternative Sources for Vampire Blood

Deformed Vampires and Monster Dens

While you can encounter deformed vampires in the groves and monster dens, these sources do not appear to yield collectible blood vials. Therefore, they are not reliable for unlocking the main vampire abilities.

Quest-Based Blood Abilities

Some vampire abilities are unlocked through specific quests rather than defeating bosses:

Mesmerise: Obtained by eating the Man Drake at the end of the Night of Horrors quest

Piercing Shriek: Unlocked by completing the Rotten Roots quest

Other Quest and Location-Based Sources

Blood can also be found through completing specific quests such as Zanfee’s Recruiters, and by discovering blood in certain locations. Make sure to explore thoroughly and complete all available quests to maximize your vampire ability collection.

Accessing Your Vampire Abilities

Once you have drunk vampire blood, navigate to your Character menu, then select Vampirism and Ability Unlock to view all the abilities you have acquired. Your abilities will be permanently unlocked in this section.

Important: Corruption Level Warning

Keep in mind that drinking vampire blood will significantly increase your corruption level. Plan accordingly and monitor your corruption status as you progress through the game.

Summary

Drinking Vrakhir blood in Blood of the Dawnwalker is essential for unlocking powerful vampire abilities. Always accept the blood-drinking option when you defeat a boss vampire, collect blood vials from your inventory when needed, and complete specific quests like Night of Horrors and Rotten Roots to unlock all available abilities. The game doesn’t make this mechanic obvious, so now you know exactly what to do to maximize your vampire powers.
