Bloodfiend

Bloodfiends are the descendants of a conquered tribe that turned to the Formless Mother and was transformed. They carry sacred spears and pour out blood, sometimes their own, as offerings to her.

You find them across the Realm of Shadow: in the Gravesite Plain (Prospect Town, Cliffroad Terminus, Ellac River Cave, Rivermouth Cave and east of Castle Ensis), around Rauh Base, in Scadu Altus, at the Bloodfiend Ruins and other spots in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh, and in the Stone Coffin Fissure. In Prospect Town some can be seen drinking the blood of others while a Bloodfiend Hexer holds up its spear.

How to beat it

Bloodfiends are big and hit hard, so give their swings room and punish the recovery. When they gather in a group, as in Prospect Town, pull them away one at a time.

Lore

Long ago a subjugated tribe was saved from the horrors of war when they met the Formless Mother, the outer god who desires wounds, and she turned them into bloodfiends. Their sacred spears are the tools of their communion with her, and sometimes Sacred Bloody Flesh falls from her wound, raw meat soaked in blood that never dries or rots.
