How to Unlock All Achievements in Vampire’s Blood: Lord Rising [EA]

Last Updated on 24 February, 2026

This journey is just beginning! Because the game is still in active development, things like achievements and world map details might change. We’ll be right here updating the guide with every new update. Ready to dive into the night and master it all?

Storyline Progression Achievements

You will unlock the following achievements by simply engaging with the story progression, forming necessary alliances, and rebuilding your strongholds.

Humble Beginnings
You must complete the early quest titled “From Ashes We Rise.” You will unlock this achievement entirely naturally through your early story progression, making it one of the first milestones you hit.

The Road Goes Ever On
You earn this achievement by completing the introduction of the game. It unlocks automatically for you right after you finish the tutorial section and complete the opening sequence.

Reveka’s Favor
You must successfully form an alliance with the character Reveka. The game awards you this story progression achievement naturally as you advance the plot.

Craita’s Favor
You must successfully form an alliance with the character Craita. Just like the previous alliance, you will unlock this achievement through standard story progression.

Malak’s Favor
You must successfully form an alliance with the character Malak. Following the main narrative path guarantees you will earn this story progression achievement.

The Bloodlord Rises
You must complete the entire Early Access Story Arc. This major achievement unlocks only after you complete all the currently available story quests within the Early Access version of the game. To earn it, you must actively follow the main questline, complete the various objectives scattered in each region, and progress through all available story content. The achievement will trigger automatically for you immediately after the final story sequence currently present in the game.

General Gameplay and World Achievements

These achievements require you to interact with the inhabitants of the world, gather information, and sometimes execute them.

Gossipmonger

You must collect exactly 20 rumors to earn this achievement. You do this by approaching the villagers in human settlements and pressing the ‘E’ key to speak directly with them. When you ask them what is new in the village, they may decide to provide a rumor regarding another villager. These rumors hold significant value because they typically reveal a villager’s specific skills and outline their potential usefulness as a future servant. Additionally, you can pay certain non-player characters, such as local vendors and innkeepers, to provide you with extra rumors. Once you collect a grand total of 20 rumors, the achievement will unlock.

Butcher of Medresti

You must kill 10 villagers to claim this achievement. The game provides you with two ways to do this. While operating in Hunter Mode, you can choose to feed on villagers to drain their blood, which results in their immediate death. Alternatively, you can attack them directly using your equipped weapons or special abilities. Every single villager you killed counts toward the final achievement tally. You must remain aware that killing villagers carries severe consequences. If anyone spots you in Hunter Mode or sees you feeding, the entire village will become alerted. This panic state can significantly reduce the wealth income you normally receive from that settlement and may cause the terrified villagers to alert the Inquisition. However, for the specific purposes of this achievement, you merely need to kill 10 villagers regardless of your detection status.

Medresti Fried Chicken

You must drink the blood of 5 chickens. You can find chickens wandering freely throughout various human settlements. Enter Hunter Mode and feed on the chickens to kill them and progress toward the achievement. Unlike murdering human villagers, killing chickens does not trigger a massive hostile response from the surrounding town. However, if villagers spot you operating in Hunter Mode or feeding on the animals, they may still become alerted. This alert can reduce your village wealth or trigger further negative consequences. Fortunately, chickens respawn regularly, making this achievement incredibly easy to complete over time.

Combat Mastery and Inquisitor Achievements

Combat plays a massive role in your vampiric journey. These achievements focus on executing enemies and wiping out the dangerous Inquisition forces.

FATALITY!
You must perform a successful Finisher. Finishers only occur during active combat after you damage an enemy enough to trigger the specific finisher prompt. When the prompt finally appears on your screen, you must press both the left and right mouse buttons at the exact same time using the default controls. Your character will then perform a brutal finishing move and instantly kill the targeted enemy. You must pay close attention because the timing can feel quite strict, and the prompt itself may not appear frequently. You need to continue engaging enemies in combat until the perfect opportunity presents itself.

Dread of Inquisitors
You must kill 50 inquisitors to earn this first tier of the combat achievements.

Slayer of Inquisitors
You must push your kill count higher and eliminate 200 inquisitors to claim this second tier.

Doom of Inquisitors
You must completely devastate the enemy ranks and kill a massive total of 500 inquisitors.

Inquisitors represent the primary hostile combat enemies in the game. You will find them stationed in camps and walking along patrol routes. Because they respawn regularly, you will find plenty of targets to hunt. The enemy types you will encounter include standard Infantry units, defensive Shield Infantry units, and highly dangerous Elite units.

Base Building and Castle Achievements

Building your vampiric empire requires resources and patience. You can capture and control three distinct castles by playing through the main story. You will unlock the stronghold achievements either by building a castle from the ground up or by paying the necessary resources to have it fully built for you.

Lord of Hell’s Chasm
You must rebuild the Stronghold located in Hell’s Chasm.

Lord of the Grove of Sorrows
You must rebuild the Stronghold located in the Grove of Sorrows.

Lord of the Fey Marshes
You must rebuild the Stronghold located in the Fey Marshes.

Lord of All Lands
You must rebuild all strongholds across every single region currently available in the game.

To earn the placement achievements, you must place items around your main base. These items accumulate over time, and a convenient counter in the top right corner of the building screen displays exactly how many items you have built.

Noble’s Castle
You must build 100 castle objects.

Baron’s Castle
You must build 250 castle objects.

Count’s Castle
You must build 500 castle objects.

Margrave’s Castle
You must build 1,000 castle objects.

Duke’s Castle
You must build 2,500 castle objects.

Lord’s Castle
You must build 5,000 castle objects.

Bloodlord’s Castle
You must build an incredible 10,000 castle objects.

Servant Command and Management Achievements

A true vampire lord needs loyal followers. These achievements revolve around biting mortals and commanding them.

Circle

You must command 3 Vampire Servants.

Coven

You must command 7 Vampire Servants.

Court

You must command 12 Vampire Servants.

Dominion

You must command 20 Vampire Servants.

To recruit these servants, you must enter a human populated area, activate Hunter Mode, and bite a mortal to give them the Gift of Eternity. Your player character bites the mortal and drops them to the ground, applying the vampiric effect immediately. The new servant will then automatically relocate to Castle Hill to await your further instructions. You must remember that getting spotted in Hunter Mode will alert the villagers and actively reduce your overall wealth.

Every servant possesses unique skills. You can check your Management tab to see exactly where they can prove the most useful. By gathering rumors, you will reveal which mortals act as trained guards, who can brew the best options, and who excels at collecting rocks. You also maintain the option of dismissing them once you gather more useful servants. Servants operate on a loyalty meter ranging from 1 to 100, with 100 representing the absolute maximum. As of the Early Access build, they only need a coffin to remain permanently loyal, but the developers note that this specific mechanic may change with the full game release.

Caring Parent

You must equip a Vampire Servant with an outfit and a tool. You must approach one of your servants while they stand idle and interact with them to open their inventory menu. From that screen, you must assign one outfit and one tool. The achievement unlocks immediately after you equip both items. You cannot interact with servants while they rest inside their coffins, so you must make sure they remain awake and fully idle before attempting this.

Arcane Tears and Vampire Ability Achievements

Unlocking your magical potential requires exploring the world for hidden power sources and upgrading your skill tree.

Collector of Power

You must absorb 10 Vampire Tears. Vampire Tears appear throughout the game world as glowing blue orbs. You will commonly find them situated at points of interest, hidden within Inquisitor camps, or tucked away in remote locations. You must interact with them directly to absorb the Tear. Each collected Tear counts toward the achievement and provides the currency you use to unlock upgrades in the Arcane skill tree. At the time of writing, evidence suggests some Vampire Tears may respawn after a period of time, but the community has not fully confirmed this detail yet.

I Can Fly!

You must transform into a Bat. This achievement unlocks the very first time you use the bat transformation ability. Once you unlock it, you can transform into a bat to travel rapidly across the map. This action consumes blood over time, so you must make sure your blood reserves remain sufficient before using it. Simply unlocking and activating the transformation once will trigger the achievement. Please note a current bug: there is a high chance of a Fatal Error and a complete game crash when you turn into a bat.

Instinct Awakened

You must unlock all Beast’s Vision upgrades. Beast Vision represents an Arcane ability that reveals nearby enemies, containers, and resources. When you activate it, targets appear highlighted briefly, making it significantly easier to locate useful objects and hidden threats. You must fully upgrade the Beast’s Vision path in the Arcane skill tree using Vampire Tears. You do not need to unlock every Arcane skill, only this specific branch.

Let It Bleed

You must unlock all Scarlet Vortex upgrades. Scarlet Vortex acts as a powerful Arcane ability that rapidly drains health from the enemies surrounding you. You must fully upgrade the Scarlet Vortex branch in the Arcane skill tree using Vampire Tears to unlock this achievement.

Now You See Me, Now You Don’t!

You must unlock all Phantom upgrades. Phantom serves as a stealth-based Arcane ability that allows you to temporarily become invisible. While the ability remains active, enemies cannot detect you, your movement becomes quieter, and stealth actions become significantly easier to execute. The stealth effect ends abruptly if you attack an enemy or after the ability duration finally expires.

Master Skill Progression Achievements

To claim the Master Skill Achievements, you must reach Level 100 in each respective skill category. Each skill increases dynamically through specific gameplay actions.

Master Explorer
You must reach level 100 Explorer. Players typically find this the easiest skill to level up during standard gameplay. You increase your Explorer rank by actively gathering resources such as stone, wood, clay, and sand. You also increase it by reading skill books.

Master Artisan
You must reach level 100 Artisan. Building frequently throughout your playthrough will naturally increase this skill. You increase your Artisan rank by building structures, crafting base objects, and reading skill books.

Master Guardian
You must reach level 100 Guardian. Utilizing combat-heavy playstyles will level this skill much faster than passive play. You increase your Guardian rank by constantly fighting and killing members of the Inquisition or by reading skill books.

Master Hunter
You must reach level 100 Hunter. Feeding regularly while you explore the open world helps progress this skill very quickly. You increase your Hunter rank by feeding on animals, feeding on villagers, and reading skill books.

Master Enchanter
You must reach level 100 Enchanter. This specific skill progresses much slower if you only rely on crafting. However, drinking potions levels it up as well. You increase your Enchanter rank by crafting potions at the alchemy table, crafting clothing at the loom, drinking blood potions, drinking non-blood potions, eating hearts, and reading skill books.

Survival and Immortality Achievements

Staying alive, or returning from the dead, provides its own unique set of milestone challenges.

What Doesn’t Kill Me…
You must simply die and respawn. You can die from losing a combat encounter, having your blood or existence meters completely deplete, or by standing outside in the deadly sunlight. When you eventually die, the game will respawn you directly from your closest available coffin.

I Am Eternity
You must survive 10 Nights Without Dying. To earn this impressive achievement, you must survive ten consecutive nights without dying once. To actively increase your chances of survival, you must avoid unnecessary combat encounters entirely. You also need to feed regularly to maintain your blood levels, return to your coffin safely before sunrise, and immediately retreat from dangerous fights if needed. The achievement unlocks right after you wake up following the 10th consecutive night.

Missable and Contextual Achievements

You must pay close attention to these specific actions, as missing the required window means you will have to start a new playthrough to claim them.

No Mercy!
You must kill the very first villager you encounter in the game. After reaching the first village on the map, you must enter Hunter Mode and drain the villager completely.

Blessed Are the Merciful
You must spare the very first villager you encounter. To do this, simply avoid draining the villager and carefully leave the area completely undetected.

Nosy
You must read Iuliu’s letter. You can find Iuliu’s letter during the specific quest where you must defeat him in his encampment. After successfully defeating him, you need to look for a nearby table inside the camp. The letter sits located right there, and you can interact with it directly. Reading the letter will immediately unlock the achievement.

Time for Reflection
You must spend 3 full minutes inside a graveyard. Although you will find a few graves scattered throughout the game world, there is only one true graveyard. Standing completely still inside of it for three continuous minutes will unlock this final achievement.

Conclusion

Conquering the world of Vampire’s Blood: Lord Rising requires a sharp mind, a thirst for blood, and excellent base management skills. By carefully following the requirements outlined in this guide, you will rebuild the ancient strongholds, master the Arcane skill trees, and eliminate the Inquisition forces standing in your way. Keep an eye on the Early Access updates, carefully manage your growing coven of servants, and never forget to return to your coffin before the sun rises. Good luck out there in the dark!
