Vampirism

Vampirism is a perk which allows you to heal yourself by consuming blood. Blood can be consumed from a Potion or directly from the ground, the health restored will be the same — approximately 4
for 10% of a Potion flask's worth of blood consumed (approximately 100 pixels if on the ground).
Tips
- The removed maximum health is calculated from your current total maximum health. When possible, picking up the Full Health Regeneration after picking up the perk will result in more maximum health than taking the regeneration before the perk.
- The same applies to regular Health Pickups as well. If you know you will take Vampirism, you should avoid picking up too many health pickups until after taking the perk.
- When possible, it's a good idea to fill a potion flask with blood and drink from it, rather than the ground directly. This will prevent you from getting
Food poisoning due to accidentally eating Rotten Meat, will allow you to 'filter' what you end up drinking, if other liquids are in the vicinity, and eliminates difficulties drinking from deep pools of liquid.
- Alternatively, Iron Stomach can be picked as a synergy that does away with dangers of accidentally drinking or eating harmful substances.
- Emerald Tablets can be used to stand on and drink from pools of blood that are slightly too deep, or used to block blood from flowing off to undesired locations.
Interactions
- Taking the More Blood perk will help ensure a plentiful supply of blood.
- Liberal use of spells which deal Slice damage will ensure you get as much blood from your enemies as possible.
- Chainsaw is an especially useful tool to slice up corpses and generate large amounts of blood.
- Unlimited Spells will allow you to make the best use of blood-based spells, such as Blood (Spell) and Blood Cloud, which ordinarily have limited uses.
- Doesn't work well with Eat Your Vegetables, as blood will no longer be useful for increasing Satiation to gain the damage buff of that perk and avoid starvation.
- Avoid taking Freeze Field when playing with Vampirism, as it makes collecting blood significantly more difficult: all nearby blood will freeze in your presence, and getting blood into a flask will become significantly more difficult.
- Remember that frozen liquids can generally be melted with Fire.
- Exploding Corpses makes it difficult to utilise Vampirism, because corpses will always explode and produce very little blood.
- Lowers your Halo value by 1.
- Vampirism grants immunity to Food poisoning and prevents Fungal Shifting. The
Vulnerable status from Turvattomuusmestari projectiles re-enables these effects and allows a shift to happen.
