Blood Veil

**Blood Veils** are the secondary weapons of Revenants, formed from their clothing. Blood Veils double as armor for Revenants by affecting their resistance to attacks, but also affect the strength of their Gifts and have different Drain attacks, which are slow but ideally used on vulnerable enemies to get a large Ichor boost.

## Ogre Blood Veils

Ogre-type are close-range Blood Veils that morph into the user's right arm. They have medium to low weight, perfect for fast melee attackers. To complement their style their Parry and Combo Drains are very fast, activating with very little windup.

### Users

* Protagonist (initial equipment)
* Louis Amamiya

## Stinger Blood Veils

Stinger-Type are long-range Blood Veils, forming a tail from the user's coattails. Their weight ranges from medium to heavy with respectable defenses, and their long-reaching Drain attacks let the user strike enemies for ichor bonuses without getting into harm's way.

### Users

* Mia Karnstein
* Jack Rutherford (former)

## Hound Blood Veils

Hound-type are close-range Blood Veils, as large coats that morph into hound heads that bite the enemy. They are frequently very heavy but offer some of the best defense stats around. Their Drain attacks have the shortest range but also respectable raw power, and their Parry has a very long activation window despite the unusual range.

### Users

* Yakumo Shinonome
* Jack Rutherford

## Ivy Blood Veils

Ivy-type are area-of-effect Blood Veils, as scarves that dig into the ground and manifest from below as large blades. Their Charge Drain is most unique, as they can be maneuvered with the movement commands to strike enemies from outside their aggro radius or even around corners. Ivy Veils are very light but offer very little defense, and are ideal for evasive builds who would rather avoid damage altogether.

In-Game Description

*The tool of an executioner that dwelled in the Howling Pit.

The Lost who bore it has been reduced to ash, but its power remains and is passed to the next bearer, like a final grip on life.*

## Availability

## Notes

* Has the lightest base weight of all base game polearms.
* Heavy attack creates a spout of water that deals ice damage for 1 Ichor.

Karen Amamiya

**Karen** is a former scientist before the Great Collapse who later becomes a nurse for the injured Revenants. She is Louis Amamiya's sister and Successor of the Heart.

## History

Much of Karen and Louis' life prior to the Great Collapse is unknown. She was good friends with a woman named Aurora Valentino, but how they met is unclear. While Louis was attending college, Karen was a nurse who worked closely with Cruz Silva. When Cruz frenzied, Karen died alongside Louis.

During Operation Queenslayer, she was a nurse for injured Revenants, keeping tabs on the amount of memory they were losing upon each death. As well, Louis hadn't woken up as a Revenant yet. Karen also worked more closely with Aurora.

At an unknown point, Karen became the Successor of the Heart. Her power creates the blood beads that Revenants use to keep frenzy at bay in place of human blood, thus she is the source of all blood springs. She sleeps hidden away in the Cathedral of the Sacred Blood, guarded by the Successor of the Ribcage.

Cathedral of the Sacred Blood

The Cathedral of the Sacred Blood (Area F-15) is a Location in Code Vein.

The path to the Cathedral is at a side path in the Ruined City Center but is initially inaccessible. After the player has finished both the Dried-up Trenches and Howling Pit, Mia Karnstein will tell the protagonist to interact with the statue next to it, which will lower the ladder that opens the path to the Cathedral. Past that ladder, the party encounters another bloodspring, and Louis Amamiya continues following the source of the Bloodbeads as he has with the rest of the springs, and is pointed to the tunnel that eventually leads to the Cathedral entrance.

The Cathedral is one of the largest levels in the game, consisting of labyrinthine walkways that criss-cross over each other and lead in and out of many cylindrical buildings, which consist of several floors held together by ladders. The player will find themselves making leaps of faith off ledges to find the right way forward, only to eventually ascend within or around another building. This level reveals a big flaw in the minimap system which doesn't differentiate elevation of pathways, making it difficult to determine the way forward at a glance. The main goal of the level is the large building in the center, but the player's path will take them all around the perimeter before finally reaching there. There are a total of eight Mistles within the level itself.

At the midpoint of the level, guarding the Gated Room Mistle, is the Argent Wolf Berserker, which is fought in a tiny arena. Following its defeat, the protagonist can pick up a special Vestige that will transport them into the Memories of Protagonist, but that area is not crucial to completion of the area.

Upon reaching the Crypt in the center of the premises, they are stopped by Leda, the Attendant of the Successor within, who offers them a Vestige Core and asks the protagonist to mend the rest of the Successor's memories before proceeding. The upcoming boss, the Successor of the Ribcage, is the first of the Successor bosses and if the player wishes to save her they must mend all of the Vestiges before defeating the boss.

After the defeat of the Successor, the protagonist finds that they have the ability to open the previously-locked winged doors in the corners of the Cathedral. The first they open leads them beneath the Crypt of the Ribcage, where the party stumbles upon Karen Amamiya, who has become a Successor and is the source of the bloodbeads. On the way out, the party gets intercepted by Jack Rutherford and Eva Roux, who have witnessed the protagonist's power to control the relics and urge them to join their cause. The ability to open the winged doors leads the protagonist to head towards the Ridge of Frozen Souls to continue their journey to find the rest of the Successors.

* Phase 2: his second phase starts after he lost roughly 50% of his total health, most of his attacks are inherited from the first phase, although he gains the ability to teleport by becoming a mist at will, he can do that alone or unleash a multitude of attacks always from above, which consist of a thrusting slam, followed by a slash, and ending with an area of effect attack at the center of the arena, he then proceeds to charge a X shaped pillar that emerges from the ground, it's area is hinted by a black substance in the floor before the explosion, he can stop the mentioned series of attacks at any teleportation.

The **Nagimukuro** is a two-handed sword weapon in Code Vein.

In-Game Description

*A large blade patterned after a Japanese great sword.*
*It was created by a revenant named Mukuro, who also engraved its name, which means "Scything Corpse," is written on the blade.*
*Designed for wide, sweeping cuts, it is strong enough to send out a gust of wind when swung with force.*

## Availability

* Obtained from a chest in the Cathedral of Sacred Blood, directly above the Cathedral Perimeter Mistle, by climbing the ladders until reaching the top. (Nagimukuro +4)
* Purchased from Rin Murasame after initial discovery.

## Characteristics

It shares the same appearance and light moveset as the Oni Bane, but it's stats are slightly Dexterity inclined, instead of Strength, and trading the blocking heavy attack for a long range dash or horizontal slash.

The medium weight and fairly balanced scaling make it optimal for quality Blood Codes, good for players that want to use a Two-handed Sword without sacrificing their ichor capacity by using Strength focused Blood Codes.

## Notes

* It is part of the weapon set made by a revenant named Mukuro, which include the Nagimukuro, Hanemukuro, Oni Bane and Enduring Crimson.
* Has the best Dexterity scaling of all the Two-Handed Swords.

The **Lost Bardiche** is a Halberd in Code Vein.

In-Game Description

*A polearm used by revenants who have fallen and joined the Lost.

Time spent in the miasma has altered its properties.

It was made to slay the Lost, but later fed on the blood of revenants.

Such irony is all too common in the world of Veil.*
Halberds

**Halberds** are capable of dealing heavy damage, albeit with medium or low attack speed. They also boast great range and crowd control, both by having a long reach and attacking in 180-360° arcs, making them a great defensive weapon type.
They generally pair with fast and long range gifts, often shared with One-handed Swords.
Mistle

**Mistle** is a glowing plant found in the world. You can interact with it and select to rest near it. When you rest, your HP and regeneration uses are restored along with your Ichor. However, your Ichor stock limit will return to normal if it has been increased by Gifts.

At a Mistle, you may also acquire Gifts contained in your Blood Codes by selecting "Acquire/Inherit Gifts", and increase your Gift proficiency using items.

All defeated enemies will revive after you rest.

You can also use the mistles to teleport to places you've visited before, after activating them.

Once they are, it allows other Revenants and humans to enter the areas you have already explored. By returning to said places, you might encounter someone new.

## History

We learn a few details behind the history of mistle’s existence in the world of Vein through the Protagonist's Vestige found in the Cathedral of the Sacred Blood. In the Protagonist’s memory they come across a mistle when on mission as Jack Rutherford's partner. Jack instructs you in activating the mistle with a dark colored vial he hands to you.

Jack explains that the vial’s contents are a kind of medicine made from the Queen’s blood. This “medicine,” the masks for revenants, and other things were are part of the Queen’s plans before she became the Queen. It can be inferred from Jack’s dialogue that Cruz—the Queen—had made efforts to make life more livable for the revenants as they fought against the horrors through the plans Jack mentions. The Lost and the miasma they gave off would have been in existence when Cruz was undergoing experimentation under the QUEEN project.

It would make sense for Cruz to have created mistle with her powers to help clear the air of the bloodlust-inducing miasma. The medicine made from her blood and the revenant masks would have been part of the measures to help revenants in their efforts to fight without going into frenzy from the miasma.

(It is worth mentioning that while mistles and bloodsprings share a very similar appearance–like they are the same kind of plant—bloodsprings did not appear until after the Queen was defeated in Operation Queenslayer).

The **Bayonet** is a bayonet class weapon in Code Vein.

In-Game Description

*A saw-bladed bayonet mass-produced by the provisional government.

Its Gift trigger can fire short-range blasts that cover an area.

Many revenants have no formal weapons training, so it was designed to be effective even in unskilled hands.*

## Availability

* Obtained from a chest in the Den of Darkness (Bayonet Devour)
* Purchased from Rin Murasame after initial discovery.

## Notes

* Charged heavy attack costs 2 ichor and fires five medium-range bullets that fan out from the barrel.
Heimdal

A blood code received from Jack.
It holds his do-or-die will to sacrifice everything for duty and to preserve balance.

This code specializes in highly aggressive melee combat, but its weight allowance is extremely low.

### Code Owner

Jack Rutherford

**Heimdal** is a Blood Code in Code Vein, obtained from Jack Rutherford after he joins the team following the defeat of the Successor of the Throat.

This Blood Code has fantastic Dexterity and Fortitude scaling, on top of high Stamina with high base Mobility for quick and consistent dodging. However, it has the lowest weight capacity of all the Blood Codes, restricting what you can use before dropping to Normal Mobility. The Sacrificial Edge buff unique to this Code is very powerful but drains your HP, rewarding the player skilled enough to not get hit in a tough fight.

Blood Bead

A **Blood Bead** is a fruit-like bead grown from bloodsprings around the world. Blood Beads contain blood- which can be use as a substitute for human blood that can quench a Revenant's bloodthirst. Large specimens are stated to keep an adult revenant healthy for two months, but with many of the springs drying up, there aren’t many left found like this.

Excess Blood Bead and those harvested by the levies of Silva’s Provisional Government can be stored for future uses after being processed. It can be assumed that they can be placed into a base container or into existing beverages like the ones lined up along the walls of the hideout’s bar.
Assassin

A blood code inherited from a repaired Vestige core.
It holds a determined will to survive in a chaotic world in order to gain freedom.

The **Black Saber** is a one-handed sword weapon in Code Vein.

In-Game Description

*A jet-black sword with a single-edge.

Its curved blade was made to slash through flesh, and a skilled wielder can maximize its effect.

Hunters in Black pay no mind to the weight of their weaponry, and seek power above all, so trained hands are a must.*

## Availability

* Rare drop from sword-wielding Hunter in Black. One is easily found near the Crypt Spire Entrance Mistle in the Crypt Spire.

## Notes

* This weapon has the heaviest base weight of all one-handed swords.
Cruz Silva

**Cruz Silva**, also known as the "Queen," is a NPC in Code Vein.

## History

Cruz was once a human and is a former classmate and childhood friend of Louis. She is the girl that became the test subject of the Q.U.E.E.N. Project and is Gregorio Silva’s daughter.

Able to withstand the unimaginable pain from the experiments she chose to endure in order to save mankind, partly due to her caretaker Karen and her close friend Louis, she then became a powerful incarnate who even brought destruction on top of the Great Collapse. Despite her frenzy, she has somehow lost her senses, but still tries to reach out hoping someone would hear her plea.

Although she is described as "immortal among immortals", the Protagonist is the one to "kill her" by impaling her with their blood veil. As the Queen's blood is injected into the Protagonist's blood, they gain her Blood Code and some of her abilities.

## Appearance

Cruz has long, white hair reaching down to her hips and held up at the back of her head by what seem to be hair ornaments, and red eyes, which appear a vibrant shade of blue after her frenzy.

She has a tan complexion, matching that of her father's and is seen wearing a blue surgical gown held up by black belt-like straps, dark grey stockings, white bandages on her lower arms and black gloves.

A scar is visible right above her heart.

BOR Parasite

**BOR Parasites** (Biological Organ Regenerative Parasites) are engineered parasites and the source of the Revenants. They are implanted into the heart of a human corpse and eventually revive them as a Revenant. How long it takes for the human corpse to revive as a Revenant differs between individuals, it can even take years in some cases. How the BOR Parasite revives its host is by latching itself to the heart of its host and it begins sending its own blood into the host. This somehow enables the Parasite to regulate and control all of its host's organs, including the brain, from the heart. By maintaining the BOR Parasite's invasion at a certain level the host is able to maintain a perfect sense of self while still allowing the Parasite to perform all of its vital functions.

Thanks to the BOR Parasite implanted in the Revenant's heart life and death change dramatically for the host Revenant. Should a Revenant die their corpse will not rot, it will instead burst into a mist of golden particles called Haze. This is called dispersal. After a Revenant has dispersed they will regenerate over time in perfect physical health. however it is not uncommon for Revenants to suffer memory loss after regenerating from a dispersal. The only way to truly kill a Revenant is to pierce one's heart where the BOR Parasite is housed. Should this happen the cellular bonds throughout the host Revenant will dissolve and they will turn to ash.

Because of the BOR Parasite Revenants do not need to eat food or drink water to survive, however their bodies are still able to process regular food and drink as shown during Yakumo and Emily Su's reunion. Revenants only need blood, or the blood-like substance contained within Blood Beads, to survive. Should a Revenant go too long without blood or Blood Beads the BOR Parasite will stimulate the Revenant's nervous system as a reaction to the starvation of blood. This is highly unpleasant for the host Revenant and is the first early warning sign of Frenzy.

Should the host Revenant continue to go without feeding the BOR Parasite will burrow deeper into the host's heart and completely take over the host Revenant reducing the Revenant to no more than a mindless, instinct driven beast. Revenants who have suffered this fate have been named The Lost. When the BOR Parasite takes over this way true death is impossible, as is reversing the condition. The BOR Parasite will regenerate the body it took over endlessly and without fail regardless of whether or not the heart was destroyed. The cost of this for the BOR Parasite is that each time it regenerates the body it has completely taken over said body looks less and less like the Revenant it once was and more like a grotesque monster.
One-handed Swords

**One-Handed swords** have well balanced attack rating and speed, as well as low weight and stat requirements, making them optimal for defensive or dark gift casting builds. They are capable of dealing slash and pierce damage, with a few exceptions, pairing with offensive gifts that prize attack speed and mobility.
