Deep Sinker is a Skill Shard in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. It also appears in Classic II: Dominique's Curse.
Game specific information[]
Ritual of the Night[]
Deep Sinker allows Miriam to move normally (although somewhat slowly) while underwater, rather than having to propel herself around using Aqua Stream. Miriam's slow movement while underwater can be remedied somewhat using Glashtyn's Shard, Amphibian Speed.
For as long as Deep Sinker is switched on in the menu, Aqua Stream will lose its ability to propel Miriam around, although it retains its 0 MP cost while underwater. It is not needed, however, as Deep Sinker allows Miriam to perform an unlimited number of sequential jumps while in water. Deep Sinker also allows Miriam to open underwater chests, which was not possible prior to acquiring it.
Enhancing Deep Sinker's Rank will provide a boost to all of Miriam's stats while she is underwater. First 7 Rank upgrades require Slimy Leather, which is dropped by Deeseama (4.00%). Ranks 8 and 9 require Water Horse Mane, which is dropped by Glashtyn (5.00%). Because the Shard is a one-off and removed on each playthrough, its Grade can never exceed 1.
Availability[]
Hidden Desert: Deep Sinker is a one-off Shard found in the Hidden Desert. It is in a silver Shard Container located inside the middle of the three rooms to the right of the elevator, but access to it is blocked by a blue glowing barrier until Miriam has defeated Alfred in the top room.
As a progression-related Shard, Deep Sinker is removed from the player's inventory in New Game Plus.
Enhancements[]
Rank: Increased stats underwater.
| Rank | Ingredients |

Dominique's Curse[]
During her stay in Limbo, Dominique Baldwin is required to acquire the Deep Sinker Passive Shard, not only because it is guarded by Focalor, one of the four Dukes of Hell she needs to defeat in order to encounter Bael, but also to continue exploring Limbo itself, as she needs to plunge into the depths of the Megiddo Wastes, after they are transformed by True Sight into the Megiddo Depths, in order to reach the underwater Lethe Cavern.

- The name is a more literal version of that of its Castlevania equivalent, Deep Seeker.
