PC Gamer’s guide explains how players of The Blood of Dawnwalker can obtain and drink Vrakhir blood to unlock vampiric abilities. It matters because these powers are not gained through the game’s standard skill-point system, allowing players to strengthen their character more directly.

The main route is to defeat the three Vrakhir bosses—Ambrus, Bakir and Xanthe—and choose to drink their blood, granting Scarlet Shield, Shadowstorm and Blood Surge respectively. Players can also find blood vials from night-time Murohn encounters or specific quests; these can unlock abilities or additional levels, while drinking the blood also substantially raises Corruption.
