In Stunlock Studios‘ V Rising, you take on the role of a vampire, ready to construct your empire by hand by consuming as much blood and raw materials as possible. Of course, even when playing with friends, your path of conquest won’t be easy since others are ready to hinder and contest your position in the underworld. Called Blood Bosses, these dangerous opponents were created from the remnants of Dracula’s blood, carrying the V Blood, and rule different domains. Here’s how you can find the location of each of the Blood Boss in V Rising and eventually dispatch them all.

How to Find Blood Bosses in V Rising

To find bosses, first, you need to complete the “Getting Ready For The Hunt” Quest:

  • Construct and interact with a Sawmill.
  • Construct and interact with a Simple Workbench.
  • Increase your gear level to 15.

You will then unlock the crafting blueprint for a Blood Altar structure that can be built using 180 Stone and 10 Blood Essence. Interact with it, and you can find a list of V Blood Carriers. However, you can only see the ones that have appropriate levels compared to your Gear Score.

After picking a name on the list, you can track the Blood Boss of your choosing. Walk around until you see a red wisp from your character’s body. Just follow the blood trail, and you will find your target.
