Voltic Chain

## Description

A special "seventh" ability which summons electrified chains to attack all enemies with electric volts.

The Japanese term for the series' 7th tier of psychic abilities is referred to as "Sevens" (localized as "Septima"), and Voltic Chains is the ultimate skill of the titular Azure Striker. The concept may have ultimately been dropped after Inti Creates was shifted from the developers of *Ritual of the Night* to *Curse of the Moon*.

Tamako-Death

Tamako-Death as she appears in Ritual of the Night.

## Resist

**Tamako-Death** is an enemy in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Description

Tamako-Death looks like a normally-sized human woman. She has long brown hair, a slightly tan skintone, a red dress, black leggings and black boots with heels. Her guitar is almost entirely black with red accents.

Tamako-Deaths are generally immobile save for an instance where one is encountered riding around on a Triwheel Buer. It is easily determined if one is present as the background music will fade out and be replaced by guitar riffs.

It takes some time for a Tamako-Death to actually start any kind of attack, and it is readily possible to kill one before she does anything. She has two attacks: one where she lifts the neck of the guitar to produce an arcing flame attack, and the other where she lowers the neck of the guitar to produce a stream of fire as she spins around.

## Trivia

Ridill

* Preview
* In-game model

**Ridill** is a sword in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Availability

Ridill is a high-level crafted sword that cannot be made until the player has access to Den of Behemoths due to its component swords requiring Fiend Fangs. It requires one of each of the elemental Hofud derived swords and a Dragon Heart.

Crafting it requires the recipe book "Legendary Equipment/R," which is found in Hall of Termination.

Once crafted, the shop will sell Ridill for 43,200G, or 38,880G with a discount card.

## Crafting

Materials needed:

* Florenberg ×1
* Almace ×1
* Caladbolg ×3
* Dragon Heart ×1

## Characteristics

Most players are likely to skip over Ridill and instead wait for an Imbrued Fang to make Blue Rose, since it appears utterly useless. Its stated ATK of 20 is, after all, less than half as strong as Florenberg and Almace and just over half as strong as Caladbolg, and its description does not imply any special capabilities.

On actually using the sword, however, it becomes clear why its ATK is so low: Ridill strikes three times per swing in a similar manner to the four strikes of Rhava Velar, meaning its effective base damage is 60. This makes it the strongest single-handed sword with fixed damage.

It should be noted that Ridill *is* weak when using Techniques as these function by adding percentages to its base ATK, which is not multiplied by three for this purpose. Ridill has access to the Technique "Power Slash" by default.

## Trivia

* Ridill is a sword from Norse mythology given to the hero Sigurd by the dwarf Regin. After using his own sword Gram to slay Regin's brother Fafnir, who had been transformed into a dragon, Sigurd (or Regin in some versions) used Ridill to cut out the creature's heart.
Susie

**Susie Quinn** is a non-playable character in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*. She is one of the few remaining residents of the town of Arvantville since the demonic attack had taken place. She requested Miriam to bring her diverse kinds of foods throughout the course of the game in order to satiate her seemingly unending appetite.

## History

As the oldest person in the village, Susie was already in ill physical health. The demon attack on Arvantville caused her mental health to decline as well, to the point where she didn't know why she should continue living. Miriam, upon hearing this, volunteers to help Susie, to which she says that she finds great comfort in the foods she used to eat. However, she has trouble remembering any of their names.

## Services

Susie gives incentive for the player to begin cooking within the game, allowing them to learn ingredient gathering and item management. She gives out rewards whenever the people brings her the food that she is asking for. She never names the food outright, but the image floating in a thought bubble above her head gives a clear indication of what the player should cook.

## Quotes

* *Did you bring it?*
* *I'm sorry for the trouble, but this isn't what I want. Oh, if I could just remember the name...*

## Trivia

* Susie's name can be seen as one of many traditional references to Suzi Q, a character from *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*.

At one point while exploring the Galleon Minerva, Vepar can be seen breaking a hole on the ship's hull and spewing three energy balls inside which then transform into three Seamas, hinting these creatures to be her progeny.

## Gallery

**Seama'**s concept art for *Ritual of the Night***Seama** as it appears in *Curse of the Moon*Purple projectile variant as it appears in *Curse of the Moon*A purple seama's projectile attack in *Curse of the Moon*
## Trivia

* Seama is very similar in appearance to the Wo-Class enemy from the *Kantai Collection* series. This may be deliberate as Wo-Class is the spirit of a sunken ship and Seama appears in sunken ships in both the demo and *Curse of the Moon*.
* A Seama is the first enemy encountered in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*; it attacks in the first room during the tutorial with Johannes. Upon killing it, it will yield the first shard in the game.
	+ This scene emulates similar introductory scenes in the *Castlevania* series, such as those in *Aria of Sorrow*, *Dawn of Sorrow* and *Order of Ecclesia*, where enemies suddenly interrupt during the tutorial and have a guaranteed drop of their abilities upon killing them.

The paintings are destroyed on contact with enemies, but otherwise persist until Miriam leaves the current room. Invoking Welcome Company costs 40 MP, but there is no upkeep cost once the paintings have appeared.

Increasing the Shard's Grade will increase the damage dealt by each painting, while increasing Rank increases the number of paintings that appear when Welcome Company is activated without increasing the MP cost, up to a maximum of nine.

Welcome Company is primarily useful in the early game, where it deals surprisingly high DPS for all the paintings and can serve as a general protective measure while allowing Miriam to deal damage with her weapons and Directional Shards. It is very effective to avoid damage from nuisance monsters, particularly against enemies that are small (Toads, Simians) or can appear without warning (Dullahammer Head, Malediction). It will often stun or knock back smaller enemies when it deals damage to them. Later in the game the damage from Accelerator is a fair substitute for it.

All Rank upgrades to Welcome Company require Oak, which is dropped by the Poltergeist itself (10.00%) and Carriage Morte (4.00%), and is among the list of randomized items found in blue chests in Towers of Twin Dragons. The mid-level upgrades add a requirement for Walnut, dropped by Chair Mimics (8.00%) while the final two upgrades require Mahogany, which is dropped by Deathtraps (8.00%) and among the random items in blue chests in Secret Sorcery Lab and Forbidden Underground Waterway.

## Trivia

* Patch 1.04 nerfed Welcome Company by lowering the base ATK of the Shard from 18 to 12 and decreasing the default number of paintings summoned from 5 to 3, though the maximum of 9 did not change.
Steel Equipment/R

The recipe book **Steel Equipment/R** can be found inside a chest in the Forbidden Underground Waterway area.

## Description

Unlocks new items which can be crafted by visiting Johannes. Unsurprisingly, the main element of these recipes is Steel. It unlocks the following:

* Harpe
* Honebami
* Partisan
* Spiral Sword
* Steel Breastplate
* Stinger
* Tanegashima
Sabnock

* Ritual of the Night
* Curse of the Moon

## Resist

**Sabnock** is an enemy in the *Bloodstained* series. He is a powerful leonine warrior who carries a sword.

## Origins

Sabnock is the name of one of the demons from the *Ars Goetia*. He is known for building towers and castles and filling them with treasure, along with filling his enemies' wounds with worms. He is most often depicted as a soldier with a head of a lion and a white horse.

## Description

Sabnock has the physique of a large human male, with the inclusion of a lion's head and tail. He wears armor on his shoulders and upper legs. From his lower legs come clawed, human-like feet. His back and chest are exposed, revealing red marks on the body. From his head sprout a few a symmetrical, red horns. His fur is black, with an orange mane and a little blue tail tuft. The armor that he does wear is dark purple, and he wields a large, single-handed sword with purple accents.

## Appearances

### *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*

The first Sabnock is encountered in the third room after entering the Entrance. He has three attacks; one of his attacks has him swing his sword and move into a roll toward the player, and the other is a jumping lunge, in which he aims his sword diagonally toward the player. The third is not a direct attack, as Sabnock will hold his sword upright for a few seconds, spawning in small areas of green gas that will poison the player on contact.

Defeating two Sabnocks is required to complete Lindsay's "Avenge the death of Lisa!" quest, which awards a Brigandine (which in turn can be given to Abigail to complete one of her own quests). He drops the useful Sword Expertise shard, a Passive Shard that increases the swinging speed of sword type weapons. He also drops Steel, a somewhat rare material during the initial parts of the game that can be used for (relatively) advanced Crafting of gear.

### *Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2*

Sabnock Riders make their first appearance in Episode 2.

Pickpocket

**Pickpocket** is a Passive Shard featured in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Availability

Pickpocket drops from Gusions, the higher-level variant of the Simian enemy. These are found in Livre Ex Machina, Underground Sorcery Lab and Oriental Sorcery Lab, and spawned by Gusion Cannons in Glacial Tomb. The Shard has a 4.00% base drop rate.

## Characteristics

Pickpocket's base function is that every time Miriam strikes an enemy with an attack, there is a chance it will drop one of its loot items, subject to the normal drop rate percentages. This includes the hit that kills the enemy, making it possible for enemies to drop items twice on death. Improving the Grade increases the chance of extra items being dropped.

The Rank bonus adds a chance for Gold to be dropped (the currency (G), not to be confused with the material). The G drops appear to be unaffected by Augment Gold, and are typically small amounts.

All Rank upgrades require Lili Tails from Lilis, with later Ranks also requiring Witch's Tears (from Cyhyraeth) and then Queen's Tears (from Tamako-Death or Lamashtu). This makes it possible to max out midway through the game.

## Availability

Only one enemy drops Writhing Limbs: the Seama, who have a 12% chance to drop it on defeat. They are found solely on the Galleon Minerva; two infinitely spawn on the deck of the ship.

Shield Outsider

* Ritual of the Night
* Curse of the Moon

## Resist

The **Shield Outsider** is a recurring enemy in the *Bloodstained* series.

## Appearances

### *Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon*

First introduced in the second stage, Shield Outsiders are the same size as the characters, and are armed with shields that cover their frontal areas. This variant of the Shield Outsider will walk back and forth. Fortunately, the shield does not defend against the character's main melee attacks.

A variant of this Outsider can be found armed with a spear, and they will thrust the weapon at the player when they stop moving.

### *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*

In this game, the Shield Outsider is now bigger than Miriam, along with having a very dangerous rotary blade installed on his shield. The Shield Outsider attacks by revving up the blade on the shield and attempting to damage Miriam with it by performing short forward charges. The shield will defend against any and all attacks directed to the front of the Outsider, but by doing so, it will also leave his back exposed to attacks; as such, a basic strategy to defeat him is to jump over him and attack him from behind.

Defeating five Shield Outsiders is required to complete Lindsay's "Avenge the death of Edward!" quest, which awards Silver ×3 upon completion. An easy-to-farm Shield Outsider can be found in the room preceding Valac's boss room in the Towers of Twin Dragons, which, apart from spawning near the room's entrance, is also very near to that area's Save Room.

He drops the valuable Directed Shield shard, a Directional Shard that allows Miriam to call forth an impenetrable shield that can be aimed in any direction and that can block even the strongest attacks. The size of this shield can be increased by enhancing the shard, granting it more coverage.

### *Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2*

Instead of moving, the Shield Outsider will stand idly with his shield at the front, which can defend against non-piercing weaponry. Upon the player getting close, the Shield Outsider will raise his shield and smash it onto the ground, creating a short-ranged shockwave.

A golden variant of the Shield Outsider can be found in the final level in the last episode of the game, where unlike his weaker variants, he will actively back away from the player to prevent them from damaging him if there's enough room behind him.

Rice Ball

The **Rice Ball** is a Food in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Description

Rice Balls, or *onigiri*, are a Japanese food made from shaping white rice (in this case, into a triangle), usually wrapped in edible seaweed, or *nori*. They are typically filled with meats or fruit, though the rice balls in-game lack such a filling.

## Availability

Rice Balls are prepared through Johannes' alchemy menu in Arvantville, requiring 1 Rice and 1 Halite. It is the simplest food to prepare in the game, and one of a few foods that can be created as soon as Miriam can craft; given time for the Rice Seeds to grow, one can create Rice Balls before setting foot in the castle.

## Usage

Ordog

## Resist

**Ordog** is an enemy in the *Bloodstained* series.

## Description

Ordog appearance resembles that of a furless dog or cat with the addition of a human skull-like head without eyes. Its forelegs protrude outwards unlike a either of its animal inspirations, resembling human shoulders that transition to paws. Its skin is red with black stripes along its legs, back, and tail. It has horns atop of its head and spikes running along its back and tail. It appears to be asleep before the player approaches, and drips a red liquid, likely blood, as it walks and leaps.

Ordog has two attacks. The first has Ordog light itself on fire and leaps towards the player. The second has Ordog stand still and regurgitates acid in an arc in the direction of the player. This attack doesn't deal any initial damage, but it does poison the player.

Ordogs return in *Curse of the Moon 2*, appearing in stage 1.

## Locations
