V Rising is a survival game. And what is the main thing of every survival game? Materials that can be used for crafting various things. Let’s talk about the main essential material in V Rising.
How to Get Blood Essence – V Rising
It is shortly described as energy distilled from Blood which vampires use to control, unlock sealed knowledge and convert humans or creatures into obedient servants. In short, it is the most essential thing you’ll need for building and maintaining your base. The more you have, the richer you are.
It is tied with a lot of upgrading, leveling, and scaling things in the game. If you want to proceed and get better at it, you’ll need to farm more Blood Essence.
You get it from living creatures that have blood flowing inside of them(for example if you try to get blood from skeletons, you’ll fail). This can be literally anything in the game that is alive(humans, wolves, bears, deers, etc.)
You will simply have to take down your target/victim to a very low amount of health, get close to it, and press F to start extracting his blood into you. You can also do this while your enemy is dead, but it needs to be a fresh kill. Just feed on living creatures.
Careful when feeding while some enemies are still alive and surrounding you. You will get stuck into an animation(which can be stopped) and they might inflict damage on you.
Each kill and extraction will give you a different amount of Blood Essence. It depends on how much HP the NPC has, or the bigger and tougher the enemy might be. Bears are very good for getting tons of Blood Essence.
There is an item called Greater Blood Essence which is directly linked with the normal one. For this, you will need a Blood Press in your base and with it, you can create Unsullied Hearts(this item is also dropped from high-level NPCs). You will need 4 of these hearts to craft a Greater Blood Essence.
I hope this was of some help. Have fun feeding!
