V Rising V Blood Codex

Live site: https://jpwalsh1.github.io/vrising-vblood-codex/

A dark-themed, single-page reference for every V Blood boss in V Rising (patch 1.1, Invaders of Oakveil), from the first wolf in Farbane Woods to Dracula in Mortium. Each boss card gives a fight summary plus a recommended loadout — weapon, blood type, movement veil, two spells, and an ultimate — using only abilities you would already have unlocked when you reach that boss.

62 bosses across four acts plus the Mortium endgame.

Features

• Progression-aware loadouts. A boss's own reward is never recommended as a tool for its own fight. Every ability is checked against the level at which it unlocks (see validate.js).
• School-coloured abilities. Veils, spells, and ultimates are tinted by spell school — Blood, Chaos, Frost, Unholy, Illusion, Storm — with a legend.
• Correct slotting. One movement veil, two regular spells, one ultimate per card. No ultimate is ever placed in a spell slot.
• Filter + search. Filter by act (I–IV plus endgame) or search by boss, region, weapon, or ability.
• Self-contained. index.html has no external dependencies beyond Google Fonts. Open it in any browser.

The guide is authored in three fragments so the large boss-data array stays separate from the markup and logic. index.html is the concatenation of the three src/ files; it is committed so the page works without a build step.

Editing

1. Edit the relevant file in src/ (usually src/part_bosses.js to change a loadout or add a boss).
2. Rebuild: bash build.sh
3. Validate: node validate.js (exits non-zero on any hard issue)
4. Open index.html to eyeball the result, then commit.

Boss data shape

Each entry in BOSSES:

{
  act: 2,                         // 1–4, or "boss" for the Mortium endgame group
  lvl: 47,                        // gear level
  name: "Kriig the Undead General",
  epithet: "the risen captain",
  loc: "Static · Haunted Iron Mine, Dunley",
  ac: C.shadow,                   // accent colour (damage school feel)
  threat: "…",                    // what the fight does to you
  weapon: "…",
  gate: "…",                      // what you'll already have in hand here
  blood: [["Brute", "why"]],      // one or more blood-type suggestions
  veil: "Veil of Blood",          // movement slot ("—" if none yet)
  spells: ["Chaos Volley", "Spectral Wolf"],  // exactly two ("—" placeholders allowed early)
  ult: "Chaos Barrage",           // ultimate slot ("—" if none yet)
  tip: "…",
  reward: "…"                     // what killing it unlocks
}

validate.js enforces the slot rules, the school mapping, and the unlock-before-use progression rule.

Data sources

Boss roster, levels, locations, and unlock sources were compiled from the V Rising community wikis and boss databases for patch 1.1. Loadouts are sensible starting points, not the only viable builds — V Rising lets you respec freely, so adapt to your blood quality, jewels, and playstyle.
