Ruinous Rood is a Directional Shard in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. It also appears in Classic II: Dominique's Curse, as one of the sub-weapons Dominique Baldwin can find.
Description[]
Upon usage, Miriam will hurl out a large blade resembling a triple-segmented shuriken that flies out some distance from her before returning in the opposite direction it was fired from. The blade will hit targets repeatedly when it comes into contact with them, making it ideal to throw the blade so that the enemy is at the apex of the blade's trajectory.
Availability[]
- Dropped by:
- Revenant (12.00%)
Enhancements[]
Rank: Increases coverage.
Tips on gathering materials[]
- Steel: Drops from Blood Grinder Knight (5%) and Sabnock (8%) between Entrance and Garden of Silence, then drops from Buer Armor (8%) in later Garden of Silence and the early portions of Towers of Twin Dragons and Forbidden Underground Waterway. The Shovel Armor throughout the Waterway drops Steel at a 10% chance.
- Mithril: Found in blue chests in later Livre Ex Machina, Hall of Termination, and upper Dian Cécht Cathedral. Drops from Axe Outsider (10%) as early as the advanced enemy room above the "Sabnock chamber" in the Entrance, and later appears in the later portions of Livre Ex Machina and Hall of Termination.
- Crystal: Found in blue chests in later Forbidden Underground Waterway, Hidden Desert, Secret Sorcery Lab, Den of Behemoths, and Glacial Tomb. Can drop from Living Fossil (8%) in the Hidden Desert. If you are relying on using the entrance in the Hidden Desert to the Tunnels to rapidly farm a nearby blue chest for Gold, you will get loads of Crystal on the side.
Trivia[]
- This Shard's behavior is similar to the recurring Cross/Boomerang weapon from the Castlevania series. Fittingly, the enemy that drops this Shard, the Revenant, is a reference to the Belmont Clan, who is known for using a wide variety of items in combat, including the Cross.
