Meredith is a devout member of the Church of Luminance and feels it is her duty to use the strength that the Light has given her to fight against evil forces. She is as bold as she is naive, and she is so fearless of the light that it makes her blind. She is solely focused on seeking justice at all costs. Now, that all sounds well and good, but you didn’t come here for a lore recap, did you? Players are looking around for this V Blood everywhere, and luckily, after reading this guide, V Rising’s Meredith’s location will be clear to all.

Meredith the Bright Archer Location
Meredith the Bright Archer may be seen in a variety of places, although she is typically found wandering the Dunley Farmlands’ Haunted Iron Mine. She will either be engaged in combat with the Undead Commander or standing near the metal lines. Just go into the mine and look around. She shouldn’t be far off from the entrance.
The Blood Altar is there to save the day if knowing Meredith’s exact location isn’t enough. By providing a trail to follow, the Blood Altar makes it easier to find bosses. If you’re reading this, you probably already have an Altar and are tracking this woman, but if not, follow these instructions. Unfortunately for some, completing The Hunt quest is a must for getting the Blood Altar. Collect 180 stones and 10 blood essence to construct the Altar.
Once it’s ready, go there and choose to Track Meredith the Bright Archer. Finding this V Blood will be simple with the aid of the maps we have provided and the blood fragrance, which the vampire can now sense.
Meredith the Bright Archer Rewards
By getting Meredith’s blessed blood, vampires will receive:
- Sanguine Coil – Send forth a projectile that hits an adversary and drains 40% of their health while doing 75% magic damage. Upon hitting allies, heal yourself for 40% of your spell power and the ally for 100%
- Wool Thread – Recipe
A great power that players will get after consuming Meredith is the Sanguine Coil. Though it is not the greatest offensive spell, its healing properties are incredible. When hitting an ally with this ability, the user will get some regeneration as well. That is why many vampires that like to fight with friends will love this power.
The Wool Thread is a resource that you have already been gathering throughout the game. Cloaks, armor, and clothing are all made using this tailoring material. It can be crafted at the Loom using 12 Fire Blossoms and 8 Coarse Threads.
Tips for Beating Meredith the Bright Archer
The best technique for defeating any opponent is to first analyze their attack pattern before constructing your strategy around it. Similar to this, you must first understand Meredith the Bright Archer’s capabilities if you want to vanquish her:
Blessed Arrow | A unique, holy arrow that has the ability to stun the target when it strikes |
|---|---|
Rain of Arrows | A circular Area of Effect attack that summons arrows from the sky |
Warrior Summon | Calls out two fighters for close-quarters combat |
You must take her to a location in the mine where there are no other enemies to annoy you. They can hinder your ability to defeat Meredith even if you are aware of the kind of attacks she is capable of doing. Take her to a spot where you can move around freely and avoid her attacks. When Meredith uses her warrior summon power, be sure to kill them first.
After that, launch as many melee attacks as you can while dodging her powerful arrows. Her dashing melee strikes may be bothersome but they deal minimal damage. Don’t be hit by her arrows, especially her Blessed Arrows, and strike when you can.
The Rain of Arrows ability can be a bit dangerous since it deals quite a lot of damage and can pin you down. Fortunately, players can see where the attack will strike, giving them an easy chance to dodge. Your path to success will need some patience. Do this repeatedly until she’s down.
Stocking your armory with comprehensive iron equipment is the best way to get ready for the fight with Meredith the Bright Archer. If you are still not up to par in the weaponry part of the game, here is how to get some iron and fix that problem. Additionally, make sure you possess some defensive skills to help you fend off her devastating arrows. Using some Veil abilities here and there to dodge, along with some strong melee powers such as Blood Rage or Aftershock, will keep her in check.
However, there is still another way to destroy Meredith. An odd way of beating her is to get her to the location on the map where you will also run across the Undead Commander. They’ll start fighting each other, giving you time to get away. They could both really have low HP when you get back a little later. You can just jump in and end the fight, getting them both in the process. The Undead Commander is waiting in the southern part of the Mine if you don’t know where to find him.
End
Though Meredith the Bright Archer is one of the harder bosses in the game thanks to the compact location. Even if there are many enemies around, that can be used to your advantage by getting the Undead Commander to fight her and to do the hard work for you. Unfortunately, he might be the one that loses the fight, but players can still jump in and finish the work, draining both of their V Bloods. Her holy attacks are really dangerous, but getting up and close to her will mostly get the job done.
