Raziel the Shepherd Location
Vampires must journey to the Dunley Monastery in Dunley Farmlands to meet V Rising’s Raziel the Shepherd. This noteworthy chapel is located just south of Bedrock Pass and north of Mosswick Village. The monastery has a southern entrance. The enormous cathedral is accessible by continuing north along the trail from there. Raziel may be found near the altar.
If wandering aimlessly around this intimidating Dunley Monastery’s halls isn’t enough for you, finding this V Blood may be done easier by utilizing the tracking tool on the Blood Altar. After finishing the Hunt quest dozens of levels earlier, players are able to utilize this ability. The Level 60 boss Raziel the Shepherd may be seen on the Blood Altar’s list. After hitting the Track button, as seen below, you may start monitoring him and seeing him on the map. The blood trail will be very helpful in pinpointing his exact location after you enter the cathedral at the Dunley Monastery.
Raziel the Shepherd Rewards
By consuming Raziel’s blood you will receive:
- Crimson Beam – Send forth a beam of energy that heals friends for up to 4 seconds at 100% spell power every second while doing 150 percent magic damage to any opponents it hits. When a target is struck, 25% of your spell power is used to restore your own health
- Athenaeum – Structure
- Silver Resistance Potion, Corrupted Artefact – Recipes
The caster of the Crimson Beam Ultimate Ability may direct a magical energy beam that harms foes and heals friends, including oneself. After Raziel, this power will keep you alive for a significant number of other bosses.
V Rising’s Athenaeum is a Structure that serves as an improved Research Desk and Study, enabling Vampires to find top-tier gear like the Bloodmoon set and Sanguine weapons.
The recipes for Corrupted Artefacts and the Silver Resistance Potion are the final prizes for conquering Raziel the Shepherd. The Silver Resistance Potion is required for mining and carrying Silver Ore from the Sacred Silver Mine of Silverlight Hills. A player would be weak and exposed if they carried a lot of silver, but the Silver Resistance Potion helps counteract these vampiric hindrances. A user’s spell power is increased by 23 by using the Corrupted Artefact. It is a Pendant item with a Gear Score of 21.
Tips for Beating Raziel the Shepherd
Players are advised to kill Christina the Sun Priestess first to obtain the Recipe for the Holy Resistance Potion because Raziel’s attacks mostly deliver Holy Damage. By combining Mourning Lily (60), Scourgestone (2), and Water-filled Bottle (1), the Holy Resistance Potion may be created at an alchemy table. Each potion lasts for 30 minutes, giving you plenty of opportunities to vanquish him before it expires. By using the potion before entering the monastery, you can also change into a human shape and elude the security personnel present.
Recognizing Raziel’s battle techniques is essential to combating this V Blood. Before confronting the Shepherd, vampires are encouraged to cleanse the area of mobs, since these might make it difficult to evade his assaults. The primary skills used by this opponent are listed below:
| Holy Light | Unleashes a missile that, upon hit, bursts, causing Holy Damage |
| Crimson Beam | Casts a powerful beam that is directed at his target for several seconds |
| Holy Slam | For a while, a red circle will be visible before an AoE explosion from above crashes against the ground |
| Light Shield | Conjures a glowing artifact that protects him and will immobilize the player if they approach too closely |
His most basic attack is to fire a straight-line ball of holy damage; steer clear of those. He also frequently uses area of effect attacks, so if a circle starts to form on the ground, make sure to leave it before the Holy Slam comes knocking. Don’t assume the circle will always be the same size because it might show up in varied sizes.
He also employs some more potent strikes. For instance, he frequently summons Tethers close to you. Shortly after they first appear, the Tethers emit a pulse that, if it reaches you, temporarily immobilizes you. You must avoid being captured by one of them since doing so would make it simple for Raziel to strike you. The Tethers safeguard Raziel while they are in use, so be careful to eliminate them as soon as you can.
Raziel has the same huge laser-firing capabilities as all priests. He is capable of shooting a powerful beam that circles the room after the player. You shouldn’t have any issue avoiding it if you keep moving. The same is true of his second powerful laser strike, which descends from the heavens. Continue to move forward to stay in front of it.
Raziel responds badly to Frost and Chaos spells, which may impede his movement and deliver searing damage while you deal with his Tether summons. It is not advised to engage him in a ranged battle since his ranged capabilities far outweigh his melee ones.
End
Avoiding these assaults, eliminating the Tethers, and finally closing in on Raziel when the chance presents itself are all rather straightforward tasks. You shouldn’t have any trouble dispatching Raziel the Shepherd if you properly avoid all his assaults.If you want more V Rising content, also check out how to get through other hard-to-beat V Bloods, like Terah the Geomancer.
