Tonkotsu Broth

**Tonkotsu Broth** is a food ingredient in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Availability

Tonkatsu Broth is crafted with 2 Plume Pork, 2 Fey Leaf, 1 Garlic, and 1 Ginger. It can also be bought at Dominique's shop for 800G.

## Usage

Like almost all materials, Tonkotsu Broth is only useful for preparing food via Johannes' Alchemy menu in Arvantville.

Only one thing can be crafted from Tonkotsu Broth:

* Tonkotsu Ramen (x1 Tonkotsu Broth, x1 Chinese Noodles, x1 Plume Pork, x1 Moco Leek)

Therefore, it only takes 1 Tonkotsu Broth to craft and enchant everything in the game.
Spear Expertise

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

## Availability

The Spear Expertise shard is acquired from the Lance Armor.

## Characteristics

At rank nine, its passive effect is active even when the shard is not equipped. However, equipping the shard will still increase spear damage by about 14 (dependent on stats, weapon, and enemy resistance types).

Each grade of Spear Expertise increases damage by about 9. At rank 9 this damage increase by grade is present regardless of whether the shard is equipped (so equipping the shard will not increase the effect of the grade).
Ginger

**Ginger** is a food ingredient in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Availability

Ginger is one of a few ingredients that can only be Found in Blue Chests, spawning in the Garden of Silence and the first two rooms of the Towers of Twin Dragons. One blue chest in the Garden of Silence is near the well to the Forbidden Underground Waterway, which can be entered and exited to respawn the chest and acquire multiple Ginger.

## Usage

Like almost all materials, Ginger is only useful for preparing food via Johannes' Alchemy menu in Arvantville.

Ginger is one of the materials required for crafting:

* Soy Broth (x1 Ginger, x1 Soy Sauce, x2 G-Bone Steak, x1 Fey Leaf)
* Tonkotsu Broth (x1 Ginger, x2 Plume Pork, x2 Fey Leaf, x1 Garlic)
* Miso Broth (x1 Ginger, x1 Miso, x2 G-Bone Steak, x1 Garlic)
* Ginger Pork (x1 Ginger, x2 Plume Pork, x1 Soy Sauce, x1 Moco Oil)

Ginger is also required for crafting ingredients for the following:

* Miso Ramen (x1 Miso Broth)
* Soy Ramen (x1 Soy Broth)
* Tonkotsu Ramen (x1 Tonkotsu Broth)

Ginger is not used in any Shard Enchantments. It takes at least 4 Ginger to craft and enchant everything in the game, with all four being base ingredients.

Space Helmet

The **Space Helmet** is a head armor in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Appearance

The Space Helmet resembles a large glass bowl with a rubber rim around Miriam's neck. An antenna protrudes from the top of the helmet, with a glowing blue ball at the tip.

## Availability

When starting a New Game, input the name "chuggaaconroy" into the Name Entry; if performed correctly, a chime will be heard upon confirmation. The item will be in Miriam's inventory at the start of the game.

## Trivia

* The Space Helmet's appearance is a reference to the helmets worn by the captains in the *Pikmin* series, which Chuggaaconroy is a known avid fan of.
Gale Crawler

**Gale Crawler** is a Conjure Shard featured in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Characteristics

Miriam is able to spawn a shockwave that runs forward along the ground. It will continue forward until it hits a wall or it goes off-screen. When cast in midair, the shockwave will drop down. Increasing the rank of this shard increases the coverage of the shockwave. It costs 22 MP each time it is used.
Summon Ghost

**Summon Ghost** is a Conjure Shard featured in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Characteristics

Miriam summons a Ghost that will loosely gravitate towards enemies. The ghost summon will bounce off any enemy it hits and attempt to attack again. Depending on the rank, the ghost can attack the same enemy from two to five times before disappearing. Increasing the rank of this shard increases the duration of the ghost. Costs 30 MP.
Ninja

Ninja as he appears in Ritual of the Night

## Resist

The **Ninja** is an enemy in the *Bloodstained* series.

## Description

An upgraded form of the Assassin enemy that inhabits the Oriental Sorcery Lab.

Among the attacks the Ninja possesses are:

* Casts a pillar of flame (not unlike Nyabon's Riga Storӕma) that appears wherever Miriam is currently standing. This is one of his most frequent attacks.
* Throws a series of fast-traveling shurikens (usually three) wherever Miriam is currently positioned.
* Charges at Miriam at great speed. This move is sometimes accompanied by the Ninja slashing with his weapon.
* Can cling onto the ceiling to silently approach.

Alarms consisting of a rope with clackers attached can be found near to them in some areas. In these areas the Ninjas start out idle, but will become aggressive if Miriam or any other enemy trips the rope.

Ninjas drop the Shinobi Garb, a body armor garment that provides notable defensive and offensive stat boosts, and also has a good sell price in the store if multiple copies of it are obtained. They also drop the rare material Crimsonite.

Shard

**Shards** are a gameplay mechanic in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*. They are demon powers that have been crystallized. They cannot be handled by an ordinary person.

## Description

Shards are demon powers that have been crystallized. While they normally cannot be handled by a common person, special individuals called Shardbinders can absorb and utilize them in order to use special abilities corresponding to the shard's source by impaling the shards into their bodies. These special abilities range from "active" abilities such as shooting fireballs, "passive" abilities such as double jumping, to "reactive" abilities such as summoning guardian familiars. A notable Shardbinder capable of manipulating such magical power is Miriam.

## Types of Shards

There are six types of shards Miriam can absorb in the game. Each group of shards contained in a particular type share similar characteristics between them, such as the way they are activated and/or perform, although they may vary in other areas such as element type, the stats they raise, or the abilities they yield, among others.

* Conjure Shard (red) - Typically single-shot projectile attacks fired in a fixed direction.
* Manipulative Shard (blue) - Effects which require the activation button to be held or used as a toggle, and constantly drain MP.
* Directional Shard (purple) - Shards which can be aimed using Miriam's hand.
* Passive Shard (yellow) - Shards which provide a continuous bonus at no MP cost. At Rank 9 they create a Skill Shard copy of themselves.
* Familiar Shard (green) - Summons a support creature with various abilities that becomes stronger as Miriam gains XP with the creature present.
* Skill Shard (white) - Similar to a Passive Shard, but with no limit to the number that can be equipped simultaneously.

Kamikaze

* In-game
* Archives

## Resist

**Kamikaze** is an enemy in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Description

Kamikaze mostly shares its appearance with a typical white cat with green eyes. However, its size, along with its large, bat-like ears and purple, iridescent horns set it apart from regular cats. In addition, Kamikaze appears to be halfway through a portal, with its upper half reaching through and its lower half still in said portal.

Kamikaze is an immobile enemy, so moving out of its line of sight will stop it from attacking. It has two attacks. One is a swipe, telegraphed by it hissing and lifting its paw into the air. The other is a far reaching wind attack, in which it creates a rune which will track the player's location before launching a line of wind at where they were previously.

## Trivia

* The word kamikaze originates from the Japanese language and is usually translated as "divine wind."
* Kamikaze's archive used to display the model and description of Macaron. This was likely a bug, but it has been fixed.
* Kamikaze is based on the deceased pet of one of the Kickstarter backers.

Regenerate

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

## Availability

Regenerate is a crafted Shard which does not drop from any enemy. It instead becomes available to craft once the player has at least one of the Manipulative Shard Healing in their inventory (drops from Sidhe in Underground Sorcery Lab). Crafting a Regenerate requires the player own a Healing and uses one High Potion, one Faerie Wing (drops from Sidhe) and one Demon Tail (drops from Archdemons). As with all crafted Shards, crafting it does not expend the Healing, only the other materials.

## Characteristics

Regenerate provides a weaker passive version of the effect of the Manipulative Shard it is created from, for no MP cost. Increasing the Shard's Grade will increase the amount of health restored per time interval, but the maximum is a mere 5 HP compared to the 15 from Healing, meaning it is only really useful for topping up HP while exploring rather than recovering from major damage. As with all crafted Shards, increasing Grade requires the player to craft more copies of the Shard. Since the components are all fairly mundane, it is not particularly difficult to accomplish this.

Increasing the Rank will increase the frequency of healing, maxing out at one instance per second. The upgrades require the various types of Potion, with the first three using basic Potions, the next three requiring High Potions, and the final two EX Potions. This does require a fair bit of grinding, and that the player has retrieved the Ultimate Healing Item/R crafting recipe from the Hall of Termination.

While Regenerate is equipped as either a Passive or Skill Shard, a cloud of green sparkling particles will surround Miriam's body.

Nyabon

Nyabon as it appears in Ritual of the Night.

## Resist

**Nyabon** is an enemy in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Description

Nyabon is an enormous tabby cat with horns and extended bat-like ears. Only the front half of its body is visible, coming through a portal of some kind behind it.

The creature cannot move, and like most enemies starts in an idle state and only becomes agitated when approached. It will look directly at Miriam, turning its head to follow her, after noticing her.

It has three attacks, all preceded by a cue of it opening its mouth and snarling. At most ranges it can invoke its Shard ability, Riga Storӕma. This is telegraphed by Nyabon snarling but *not* raising one of its paws: after a second a circle of flames will appear on the ground, which shortly afterwards will sprout into a column of flames.

Its other two attacks are physical: if Miriam is near Nyabon's side at close range, it will raise one paw and then swipe downwards at her. If she is directly in front of it, it will instead lift both paws and swipe them forwards.

## Location

Nyabons are found in the Entrance and Dian Cécht Cathedral.

## Trivia

* The $3,000 "UNLEASH THE HOUNDS OF HELL" and $3,500 "UNLEASH THE HOUNDS OF HELL II" backer tiers gave backers the opportunity to make their pet (or another animal of their choice) into an enemy. This is likely the source of the photorealistic animal enemies (for example the three Nyabon variants, Puppy and Rocky).
* The three cat-demons (Nyabon, Macaron and Kamikaze) all have the same description in the enemy file.

White Sauce

**White Sauce** is a food ingredient in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Availability

## Usage

* Sea Urchin Pasta (x1 White Sauce, x3 Pasta, x2 Sea Urchin, x1 Egg)
* Chicken Casserole (x1 White Sauce, x1 G-Bone Steak, x1 Rice, x1 Cheese)

White Sauce is not used in any Shard Enchantments. It takes at least 4 White Sauces to craft and enchant everything in the game, with all four being base ingredients.
Summon Tracer

**Summon Tracer** is a Conjure Shard featured in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Characteristics

Miriam summons a Tracer that will attack in the direction summoned. It will continue forward for a few seconds then disappear. If the tracer hits a wall, it will reverse the direction it follows. Increasing the rank of this shard will increase the duration of the tracer. Costs 50 MP.
Theme of Dominique

**Theme of Dominique** is a music theme composed by Michiru Yamane for *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*. As the title states, it is Dominique's theme song and plays in the cutscene where she is first introduced. Later on, the track plays whenever Miriam pays a visit to her supply keep.

Weapons

**Weapons** are in-game items that Miriam can equip to modify her attack and damage. Weapons only modify the Attack (ATK) stat though they may also have extra Attributes like Fire, Ice, etc. Some weapons also have special abilities.

There are 10 different types of weapons: Shoes, Swords, Daggers, Clubs, G-Swords, Katanas, Spear, Whips, and Firearms.

**All weapons that are craftable will be available for the player to buy at Dominique's Shop after being crafted once with Johannes.**

This list is in the same order as the in-game codex.
Voyage of Promise

**Voyage of Promise** is a music theme composed by Michiru Yamane for *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*. It is the background theme for the Galleon Minerva, the name of the haunted ship in the game. It also plays during the battle against Miriam in Hall of Termination, who is the final boss in Zangetsu Mode.

The track reappears in *Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon* as the background theme of Sunder the Night, a linear stage with a similar haunted ship environment.

In 2017, the song was performed by Yamane at a live event at the Pixelatl Festival in Mexico.

A violin arrangement of this track composed by Carlos Viola was featured in *Blasphemous: Strife and Ruin* in a crossover storyline that heavily involves Miriam, but it was ultimately left unused.

Wolfman

Wolfman as he appears in Ritual of the Night.

## Resist

**Wolfman** is an enemy in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Description

A large lycanthrope that jumps at the player and also defends itself with his claws. He is encountered in the outside areas of the Towers of Twin Dragons. While certainly looking menacing at first glance, his repertoire of attacks is limited. He'll either swipe with one of his claws at the player, or jump forward and perform a double swipe. When attacked, he'll use his arms to protect himself and become completely impervious to damage. He'll remain in this state as long as he's receiving attacks, so, the player needs to stop attacking him for a moment until he lets his guard down again.

He drops the Beast Guardian shard, which summons an ethereal Wolfman that replicates the protective stance of the monster, acting as a shield for Miriam (although not as versatile as the Directed Shield). He also drops some valuable items, like Wool, which can be used to craft the Polonaise armor which raises INT; and also the Wolf Hood, which increases STR.

## Trivia

* While lycanthropes are frequently alluded creatures in classic Gothic horror media, the inclusion of this enemy in the game is possibly partially inspired by the Wolf Man/Werewolf from the *Castlevania* franchise.
Red Umbrella

* Preview
* In-game model

The **Red Umbrella** is a weapon in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Availability

* It can be acquired after Bloodless is defeated.

Redbeast's Edge

* Preview
* In-game model

The **Redbeast's Edge** is a weapon in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*. It's one of the 8-bit Weapons, which can all be made with one 8-bit Coin. In addition, these weapons can be upgraded to 16-bit and then to 32-bit versions of themselves, which makes them stronger and some of them change a bit more.

## Crafting

Materials needed:

* 8-bit Coin ×1

### 16-bit version

Materials required:

* 8-bit version of the weapon
* 16-bit Coin ×1

### 32-bit version

Materials required:

* 16-bit version of the weapon
* 32-bit Coin ×1
* 8-bit Nightmare ×1

## Characteristics

* 8-bit: ATK 21 (up to 52)
* 16-bit: ATK 36
* 32-bit: ATK 52

## Notes

* The 8-bit variant has a unique ability: it starts out with almost no blade and functions like a Dagger, but grows as the player acquires more Shards and increases its ATK: with 100% Shards acquired, it will function like a Rapier and have an ATK of 52. The upgraded versions do not share this ability.
* The whole blade of the 8-bit version will sometimes appear depending on diverse trivial actions taken by the player; and likewise, it will disappear after performing other similar actions. However, this blade is illusory and only the "dagger" part of the blade (close to the pummel) will still be the one that actually deals damage.
* The Redbeast's Edge does not count as a Dagger, Sword or Rapier for purposes of using Techniques.
Supplies

Riga Storӕma

**Riga Storӕma** is a Conjure Shard featured in *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night*.

## Availability

Riga Storӕma is dropped by Nyabon, the lowest-level variant of the giant cat-demon enemy found in Entrance and Dian Cécht Cathedral. It has a base drop rate of 5.00%.

One of the best places to acquire the Shard is the corridor at the bottom-left of the room in Dian Cécht Cathedral that has Todd's room at the top-left and the warp room at the top-right. This corridor contains only a single Nyabon in the middle.

## Characteristics

Riga Storӕma by default creates a broad, tall column of flames that persists for a short time and deals fire damage to enemies caught in it, in the same manner as the fire column attack used by Nyabons, Fire Elementals and Ninjas. The column is created just in front of Miriam's location, though there must be a valid location near her vertical level in order for it to appear. The Shard costs 30 MP per use.

Increasing the Shard's Grade improves its damage output.

Ranking up Riga Storӕma increases the number of fire columns it creates by one per rank, up to a maximum of nine, with no increase to the Shard's MP cost. The additional columns appear forward of the first one, slightly spaced from one another in the manner of a typical fighting game "ground crawler" attack. Creating multiple columns requires a continuous horizontal surface large enough to accommodate them: if the Shard is used on a surface that is too small, only those columns that will fit will appear. When fully levelled, Riga Storӕma's effect is significantly larger than a single screen, allowing Miriam to move some distance forward before leaving its effect.

It is one of the best area-denial weapons in the game, able to set up damaging barriers against skittish enemies like Ghosts and Amys even when not levelled, while fully levelled it can easily fill an entire corridor, preventing enemies like Bats from attacking and dealing with small targets like Simians and Toads very effectively. When upgraded, large enemies like the Dragon, Living Fossil and Abyssal Guardian will be hit by multiple columns at the same time, dealing a lot of damage. Since the fire columns do not affect Miriam at all and remain in place for some time, this also allows her to attack with her own weapons while the Shard is in play.

All levels of upgrade to Riga Storӕma require Rubies, which are not particularly hard to come by: they are dropped by Buer Armor (5.00%), Rul'sha (5.00%) and Fire Elementals (12.00%), and are among the randomized items found in blue chests in Towers of Twin Dragons. Harder to acquire is the Gold required for the final two upgrades: see the page on Gold for suggestions.

Acquiring a Riga Storӕma unlocks the ability to craft instances of the Directional Shard Riga Dohin using 1 Ruby. As with all crafted Shards, making a Riga Dohin does not expend the Riga Storӕma used to make it, only the additional material.

Soul Eraser

The **Soul Eraser** is a weapon for Zangetsu and a Key Item in *Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2*.

## Gameplay

The Soul Eraser enables Zangetsu to execute a 3-strike combo attack, and augments his sub-weapons, such as the ball-and-chain having a longer reach and an explosive effect, or the magic charm becoming a Void Charm emitting a pillar of energy rather than a sphere.

## Story

The Soul Eraser is dropped by Vepar after it is defeated in Episode 1 by the combined efforts of Zangetsu, Dominique, Robert, and Hachi. Zangetsu is forced to claim it and use it in the coming battles, until he inevitably obtains the Zanmato either during Episode 2, or at the start of Episode EX.

If Zangetsu still has the Soul Eraser when he defeats Mephisto in Episode 2 Stage 8, Zangetsu will recall scenes with Dominique that will cause his resolve to waver, leading to him wounding, but failing to kill, the demon, who launches a counterattack that leaves Robert and Hachi too injured to continue the mission.

If this occurs, Zangetsu will try to go alone, this time resigned to the fact that Dominique must be condemned to the same cessation of existence as Mephisto in order to destroy the latter. However, his salvation from this dilemma will come in the form of his previous allies appearing, delivering the Zanmato to him, and accompanying him on his journey to rescue Dominique in place of Robert and Hachi.

## Trivia

* It is not possible to avoid picking up the Soul Eraser after it is dropped. If you attempt to exit Stage 4 without it, Dominique will stop you, point out the sword, and mention that it could be useful going forward.
