Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Blood Fountain | Drain the blood fountain
When you first pass the blood fountain at the beginning of the game, you will not be able to do anything with it. However, after you have played for a couple of hours, you will come across a boss that will give you a special ability which will allow you to go back and drain the blood fountain.
As you’re playing Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, eventually you will come across a boss called Bloodless located in the Dian Cecht Cathedral. The boss will have 3200 HP and will have a light and slashing weakness. Once you have taken on the boss and defeated it, you will be given a special shard offering the Blood Steal ability. This will allow you to, well, steal blood.
Now that you’ve unlocked the Blood Steal ability, you can make your way back to the Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night blood fountain. Once you’ve arrived, you’ll be able to use your newfound ability to drain out all of the blood from the fountain. This will allow for passage underneath the fountain to the lower castle areas beyond.
Now that you’ve learned how to drain the blood fountain, you may need some more help throughout the game. You’re in luck, as we have tons of different Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night guides that will help you out while playing through game.
