Blood Surge
Blood Surge is a night-only Vampirism ability that makes a target burst from the inside through their own blood. You unlock it by drinking Xanthe's blood, so it is tied to her questline.

Good to know
- Only Xanthe's blood unlocks it; no other vampire's blood works as a substitute.
- A phial of Xanthe's blood sits in a treasury casket near Svartrau Cathedral, opened with the Treasury Key.
- You can also defeat and drain Xanthe herself during The Cycle of Love.
- At its first level it deals area damage in a small radius and hits bosses much harder.
- Like other Vampirism powers it will not fire during the day.
- Grab the cathedral phial before you decide Xanthe's fate if you want to keep every option with her open.
How to get it
Find the Treasury Key, open the casket near Svartrau Cathedral and drink the Phial of Xanthe's Blood. The other route is beating Xanthe in The Cycle of Love and feeding on her. After that, spend a skill point at a road shrine, with enough Corruption, to learn each level.
What it does
Blood Surge detonates the target and splashes damage around them. It is a strong answer to groups at night and adds big burst damage in boss fights.
Day or night
It is a vampire power, so it only works after dark when Coen is in his vampire state.
