Vrakhiri Blood Phials
Vrakhiri blood phials hold the blood of a named vampire. Drinking one unlocks that vampire's power for Coen, and later sips upgrade it, so they are the key to most Vampirism abilities.
- Set
- Vampire blood
Good to know
- Each vampire has its own power, and some abilities need a certain vampire's blood.
- Blood cannot be swapped: Xanthe's unlocks Blood Surge, Ambrus's unlocks Scarlet Shield and Brencis's unlocks Piercing Shriek.
- Lacra's blood unlocks Mesmerise, and Bakir's unlocks Shadowstorm.
- Phial of Xanthe's Blood is in a treasury casket near Svartrau Cathedral, opened with the Treasury Key.
- Draining a defeated vampire gives the same blood; killing them without drinking does not.
- Phials can also cover the cost of later upgrades to an ability.
Where to find it
Phials come from quests, camps and hidden caches. Examples include Xanthe's Recruiters: Taste of Power for Brencis's blood and the cathedral treasury for Xanthe's.
How to get it
Pick the option to collect the blood when a quest offers it, or drink from a vampire you defeat. Get Xanthe's cathedral phial before you settle her fate so no choice is locked out.
Reward
The first drink opens the ability in the Vampirism tree. You still learn it at a road shrine with a skill point and enough Corruption.
