Familiar: Archer is a Familiar Shard in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. It is a crossover character with the game Kingdom Two Crowns. This shard is acquired at the end of the secret Dead Lands stage, dropped by that area's boss. It was included in the game in 2021 as part of the "Kingdom Crossover" update.
Description[]
When summoned, a pixelated Archer (from Kingdom Two Crowns) will follow Miriam, floating behind her (more like running in midair), and will shoot series of arrows upward in an arc at nearby enemies with deceptively good accuracy.
Availability[]
- Dropped by:
- Breeder (100.00%)
Breeder is the boss of the secret Dead Lands stage. To access it, the player first has to defeat the boss Bathin in the Underground Sorcery Lab during the main game. Once this has been done, a special golden crown icon will appear in Dominique's study in Arvantville on the game map, hinting that a new item, the Crown of Creation, has become purchasable at her shop (costs 1G). Once this Head Armor has been purchased, the player has to revisit the Bridge of Evil, where the crown map icon has now moved, by boarding the train one more time, and make their way to its end and reach the exit door wearing the Crown of Creation as they leave. If correctly done, they'll then be transported to the secret Dead Lands stage.
Dead Lands is a short straightforward forest stage where the player initially has to fight a couple of Gamigins and then face the new crossover boss, Breeder, at the end. Upon defeating it, they'll receive the unique Familiar: Archer shard.
