V Blood Carriers (Farnbane Woods) - V Rising Database

A ferocious apex predator of its kind, many times larger, stronger, and more hostile than its smaller kin. The Alpha Wolf, true to its name, is regarded by others of its kind with absolute authority. They never truly hunt alone.

The Alpha Wolf is a level 16 V Blood Carrier found in the Farbane Woods, often the first boss players encounter in V Rising. This apex predator, larger and stronger than other wolves, commands its pack with authority. The Alpha Wolf attacks non-wolf creatures but ignores players in Wolf Form. Defeating it unlocks the Wolf Form ability and rewards players with items like Rugged Hide, Bone, and Unsullied Hearts. The boss can also engage other enemies, making it easier to defeat if weakened by prior battles.

Before the 1.0 Update, this V Blood Carrier was referred to as “Alpha Wolf”.

A powerful psychopomp that taps into mysterious spiritual sources. Polora is one of the only known mortal links to fairy kind and driven to the brink of sanity by her intimate connection to nature. Her dream-like home is alive with unique, enchanted plant life.

• Polora used to unlock the Castle Waygate recipe, but this has now been streamlined to unlocking through the Waygate quest in the Gloomrot Expansion.
• Polora’s name and concept, as well as Spectral Wolf, are likely references to Poloma from Battlerite.

When fighting Polora, positioning is key. All her attacks, as well as her spirit’s attacks, can collide with all targets. If they hit the player, they deal damage. Otherwise, they heal Polora or the spirit hit.

• Spirit Wave: Polora channels, lifting her left arm up, then releases three spread-out spirit projectiles that move in a wave-like pattern.
• Spirit Wolf: Polora channels briefly before launching a spirit wolf in a straight line. The wolf deals damage or heals depending on the target hit. It can bounce to new targets up to five times, for a total of six hits, and can bounce back to Polora.
• Fear: If the player is close to Polora, she’ll shout “Begone!” and start a long channel. At the end, she will Fear all targets in a small radius around her, forcing them to run away.
• Invisibility: If the player is close, Polora turns invisible for a few seconds, gaining increased movement speed. If afflicted by Ignite, her movement can be tracked.
• Summon Minion: After losing 25% of her health, Polora periodically shouts “Spirits, hear me!” and summons Pixies that fire ranged wave-like spirit attacks with a slow aiming turn rate. If killed, Polora may resummon a new one within a short time.

The ‘King’ of the bandits, once heralded as a hero of the common people in Dunley. His lack of proper reverence for the Church of Luminance saw him driven into Farbane, where his prowess in battle earned the respect of the banditry and, eventually, a place as their champion and king. He may have been a good man, once.

Quincey the Bandit King, a Level 37 V Blood Carrier, resides in the Bandit Stronghold in Farbane Woods. Once a hero of the common people in Dunley, Quincey’s disregard for the Church of Luminance led to his exile into Farbane, where he earned respect among the bandits and became their leader. Entering his stronghold requires either Minor Explosive Boxes or the Bear Form’s Crush ability. Defeating Quincey grants a Tier 3 Spell Point and the spells Merciless Charge and Chaos Barrage. Players also unlock the Smithy and Tailoring Bench structures, along with Ebonite Stairs & Doors and recipes for Iron Ingot and Hollowfang Battlegear.

In battle, Quincey uses a variety of attacks including Double Swipe, Shock Wave, and Merciless Charge. He can also create a reflective Chaos Barrier and summon a Trapper minion. When his health drops to half, he performs a Triple Charge attack, stunning himself afterward.

Prior to the Gloomrot update, Quincey rewarded players with Chaos Barrier, which has since been changed to be given by Angram the Purifier.

• Double Swipe: Basic melee attack consisting of two swipes with his weapon.
• Shock Wave: Shoots four waving lines that explode after a couple of seconds and inflict Ignite.
• Merciless Charge: His shield shines for a second before he performs a charge attack.

A lieutenant of the bandit forces charged with looking over the logging camp. Just because he’s an expert woodworker doesn’t mean he doesn’t know his way around a crossbow, though. He didn’t rise up in the bandit ranks for nothing.

Rufus the Foreman, a Level 20 V Blood Carrier, oversees the Bandit Logging Camp in Farbane Woods. Although he is an expert woodworker, his skills with a crossbow have helped him rise through the bandit ranks. His attacks are a mix of trapper and crossbowman abilities, making him a versatile and dangerous opponent.

Defeating Rufus rewards players with a Tier 1 Spell Point and the spell Blood Rage. Players also unlock various structures, including the Woodworking Bench, Rustic Chair, Rustic Table, Vardoran Globe, Esoterica Reading Lectern, Circa Round Bookcase, Dignity Bench, and Dignity Podium, as well as the recipe for the Copper Crossbow. His attacks include Crossbow Bolt, Throw Net, Dodge Roll, Summon Minions, Rage, and Rapid Crossbow.

• Rage: Shields himself and any nearby allies, similar to the Blood Rage ability he unlocks for the player.
• Rapid Crossbow: At half health, says “I’m gonna call you target practice!” and fires eight crossbow bolts in rapid succession. The attack ends with a clinck sound.

Notes:

• Rufus’s attacks are a mix of trapper and crossbowman abilities.
• Care should be taken when fighting him during the day due to limited shade in the logging camp.

A creature that was once one of Dracula’s favourite pets. The monster mourned the death of its master in a blood-soaked vigil, enduring the toxic, bloody rains that followed Dracula’s death for seven days and seven nights. This is the mangled monstrosity that emerged.

Talzur the Winged Horror, a Level 86 V Blood Shard Carrier, resides on The Dreaded Peak at the eastern edge of Farbane Woods. Once a favorite pet of Dracula, this creature mourned its master’s death in a blood-soaked vigil and emerged as a mangled monstrosity. To reach this area, players must use the Bat Form ability. Defeating Talzur grants access to the Pedestal of the Winged Horror and recipes for Dracula’s Shadow Gloves, Grim Gloves, Dread Gloves, and Maleficer Gloves. Additionally, the Winged Horror drops the Soul Shard of the Winged Horror, providing a powerful buff with increased resistance to silver and fire, enhanced spell power, and spell critical hit chance. Other loot includes Onyx Tear, Legendary Ancestral Greatsword Shard, Flawless Gems, and Exquisite Heart.

The fight with Talzur is challenging due to its numerous projectile attacks, burning ground effects, and strong melee attacks. It features two unique debuffs: a damage-over-time effect from chaos attacks and a slowing effect from frost attacks. Key attacks include Chaos Volley, Crystal Lance, Fire Breath, Flare Charge, Swipe, Tail Whip, Spin, Fireball Drop, Frost Vortex, and two types of Fireball Volleys. The fight requires patience, with an emphasis on keeping distance and avoiding melee range. Recommended equipment includes the Bloodmoon Armour set, Sanguine tier weapons, and ranged abilities such as Sanguine Coil or Chaos Volley. Scholar Blood is ideal for damage, while Brute Blood offers healing and additional gear level. Players should use defensive abilities to avoid key attacks like Flare Charge and manage debuffs by alternating between burning and frost effects.

• Retreat: The Winged Horror retreats directly away from the player whenever they get close, even if it moves closer to the player itself.
• Debuff Duality: Applies two unique debuffs: damage-over-time from Chaos attacks and a slowing effect from Frost attacks.
  These debuffs cannot affect the player simultaneously; each lasts about 10 seconds and one cleanses the other upon application.
• Magic projectiles: Uses Chaos Volley, causing burning, and Crystal Lance icicles, causing slowing.
• Fire Breathing: Flies up and spews fire at the ground, creating damaging fireballs and scorching the area.
  Inflicts burning if the player steps on the scorched ground.
• Charge: Charges forward with summoned fireballs, dealing damage.
  Potentially follows up with a swipe or Tail Whip if the player is hit.
• Melee Damage: Swipes with claws or whips its tail, dealing damage in an arc and firing icicles.
  Tail whip is used when the player is behind it.
• Spin: Spins in place, dealing damage and knocking back players while firing icicles.
• Fireball Raid: At 70% health, flies over the battlefield, dropping fireballs that scorch the ground, and crashes back down.
  Repeats this pattern with multiple flights as the fight progresses.
• Snow Storm: At 70% health, creates a blizzard in an area, dealing damage to players inside.
• Scorch the Earth: At 50% health, breathes four sets of fireballs in a semi-circle.
  Alternating sets cover gaps and scorch the earth.
• Last Stand: At 30% health, spawns two Chaos vortexes and creates a strong wind by batting its wings.
  Pushes the player back, spreads scorched earth, and vortexes shoot fireballs at the player.

A cold-blooded killer, and the scion of a long line of vampire hunters. Few are as prepared to face the rising tide of vampire threat as Tristan, and his drive to exterminate the last of the unholy threat is second to none.

Tristan the Vampire Hunter is a Level 44 V Blood Carrier who roams the roads of Farbane Woods and Dunley Farmlands. As a cold-blooded killer from a long line of vampire hunters, Tristan is driven by his mission to exterminate the vampire threat. He is often found in the northern parts of Farbane Woods and the southern area of Dunley Farmlands. Bandits and Militia are passive towards him, but he is hostile towards Undead enemies. Defeating Tristan unlocks the Blood Hunger vampire power, a Tier 3 Spell Point, and the spells Crimson Beam and Heart Strike. Additionally, players gain recipes for Greater Blood Essence and the Iron Greatsword.

Tristan’s attacks include a combination of fire and ice-based moves. His Flaming Strike ignites his sword, burning targets on contact, while his Icy Swing sweeps in a wide arc inflicting cold. He often uses these attacks consecutively. Tristan also employs a Lunge attack that stuns players, a Flaming Crossbow for ranged damage, and a Fire Bomb attack when at half health, which leaves flaming spots upon explosion. Players need to manage these attacks strategically to defeat him and claim the valuable rewards he offers, including possible loot like Unsullied Hearts.

Tristan will use the following two attacks consecutively:

• Flaming Strike: Tristan lights his sword with fire and swipes forward in a straight line after a few seconds, causing burning on contact.
• Icy Swing: Tristan coats his sword with ice and sweeps in a wide arc immediately, inflicting cold but not enough to cause a freeze.
• Lunge: Tristan dives forward, thrusting his sword. This unblockable attack stuns the player if hit and is often followed by one of his sword attacks.
• Flaming Crossbow: Tristan draws his crossbow and fires at the player, causing them to catch fire if hit. He typically uses this when the player is far away.

Additional Attacks (at half health):

• Fire Bomb: Tristan throws a fire bomb that explodes into several smaller bombs, creating flaming spots on the ground. If the player is not near him afterward, he will likely fire his crossbow immediately.
