About this item

Raw meat soaked with blood.

A delicacy of the bloodfiends.

Temporarily boosts physical attack power and arcane.

When blood loss occurs nearby, further boosts attack power.

The blood is said to have fallen from the Formless Mother's wound. Never will it dry, never will it rot.

Bloodfiends in Rivermouth Cave

Gravesite Plain

Starting Site of Grace: Rivermouth Cave

Before you go

• Enter the Realm of Shadow.

1. From Castle Front, follow the southeastern road to the fork and take the downhill path through the camp.
2. At the next fork, go left toward the poison pools. Near the large Miranda flower, take the lower slope toward the crab and the entrance to Ellac River Cave.
3. Enter the cave, activate its grace and come out beside Ellac River. Follow the river northwest along the bottom of the ravine to Rivermouth Cave.
4. Explore the cave and defeat its Bloodfiends. Collect their drops and check the corpses for the fixed Sacred Bloody Flesh pickups.
5. For additional drops, rest at the cave grace and repeat the Bloodfiends. The random drop is not guaranteed each run.

Notes

• For 30 seconds, raises Arcane by 10 and increases damage dealt by 7%.
• While it is active, blood loss occurring nearby can trigger a separate 18% damage bonus lasting 30 seconds. Applying buildup alone is not enough; a blood-loss burst must actually happen.
• The initial effect is a body buff and competes with foods and spells in that slot. The triggered blood-loss bonus is separate.
• An enemy immune to blood loss cannot provide the trigger through your bleed attacks. Plan around the target rather than assuming the larger bonus is always active.
• It is a finished consumable, with no crafting recipe. Rivermouth Cave has fixed pickups as well as Bloodfiends that can drop more.
• The current damage effects apply to Physical, Magic, Fire, Lightning and Holy damage. The description's mention of Physical attack does not fully describe the current effect.
• The base 7% and triggered 18% damage bonuses multiply to 26.26% while both are active. This calculation excludes any extra benefit your particular weapon or seal gains from the ten Arcane.
• The blood-loss trigger must occur nearby, within roughly seven meters. Your own Blood Loss can trigger it too, so Seppuku is an option when the target cannot bleed.
• Once triggered, the 18% bonus can finish its own 30 seconds after the original body buff ends or is replaced. New Blood Loss only refreshes it while the food's trigger effect is still active.
• The trigger can stack with White Mask and Lord of Blood's Exultation. A second serving of Sacred Bloody Flesh does not add another separate copy of its own damage multiplier.
• Very large targets can place their trigger point outside the effective range even when you are beside a limb. Do not assume a bleed burst automatically means the bonus activated.
• Bloodfiends have a 2% base drop chance at 100 Item Discovery. You can carry ten servings, and the food costs no FP to use.
