The only method of getting Primal Blood Essence is through crafting. But there are two crafting recipes that you can use to get your hands on some Primal Blood Essence. In this article, I will walk you through both crafting methods which will help you decide what track you want to take.
How to get Primal Blood Essence?
Primal Blood Essence can be obtained through either:
- Exquisite Hearts x4
- Greater Blood Essence x12
Exquisite Hearts can be found in and around Silverlight Hills from defeating enemy types such as Priests, Knights, and Paladins. But there are also many other locations where you can find an abundance of Exquisite Hearts, which we have compiled into a very thorough guide (exquisite hearts location).
Once you have four Exquisite Hearts in your inventory, head to the Blood Press inside your castle and begin the crafting process. In roughly three minutes, you will successfully receive Primal Blood Essence.
It must be noted that Exquisite Hearts are really rare to find and farming or crafting them can take considerable hours since you must defeat a number of level 60+ bosses and enemies. Therefore, I recommend that you choose the second method of crafting Primal Blood Essence which is the use of 12 Greater Blood Essence.
Greater Blood Essence can be crafted either through Unsullied Hearts or through a special recipe received by defeating level 46 V-Boss called Tristan the Vampire Hunter.
Once you have enough Greater Blood Essence in your inventory, you must find the recipe for Primal Blood Essence. This can be found by defeating Jade the Vampire Hunter, a level 62 V Blood Boss, who roams the forest at Dunley Farmlands. The battle with her will be difficult but with the right gear and strategy, you will for sure come out on top.
Once, Jade, the Vampire Hunter has been defeated, and the recipe for Primal Blood Essence has been obtained, head back to your Castle. Put 12 Greater Blood Essence in your Blood Press and, within minutes, join the exclusive group of gamers to receive Primal Blood Essence.
