Bloodlust

Bloodlust is a katana from EpicFight Nightfall. It is weapon 17 of 42 in Path of the Samurai, a Pursuit of Mastery quest chapter. A cursed tachi that pays for its power in health, it hits harder the more of its wielder’s blood it spends. Its in-game name is Bloodlust, but its item id is efn:air_tachi, and the game’s advancement for obtaining it is called “Bloody Killing”. It has a twin, Carnivorous Osteofrenzy, with the same stats and skill.

Obtaining#

It is made at a Smithing Table with Soulrend’s upgrade recipe. The base is a Netherite Tachi, the template a Crimson Ingot and the addition Fleshy Cloth. The upgrade keeps the base’s enchantments, gems and affixes (see Upgrading Gear).

Crimson Ingots are smelted from Demonite Chunk. Fleshy Cloth drops from the High Priest and can be found in the chests of the weak cult structures (Cult of the Weak).

Stats#

Usage#

Its tooltip reads “A skeletal hand clutches the cursed blade shrouded in blood rust…” and hides its innate skill, BLOODRUST, behind Left Shift. The skill’s text says: “Awaken the blade with bloodshed. Each slash carries sanguine power at the cost of continuous HP drain. Reactivate to end this state.”

Activating the skill gives the Bloodlust effect, and the effect does two things:

• Cost. Starting it costs 15% of your maximum health (at least 4 HP), and every second afterwards costs 5% of it (at least 1.5 HP). Neither payment can kill you; the effect stops short of your last 1 HP.
• Bonus. While it lasts, your attack damage, Epic Fight armor negation, impact, stun armor and stamina regeneration are each raised by 20%.

Reactivate the skill to end the effect early. If Invincible’s key 1 isn’t bound to Left Click, the tooltip adds a warning telling you to set it. The rest of its skill is described under Moveset.

Moveset#

In Epic Fight it is a tachi. Its default Two Handed style has a five-hit basic combo and the innate skill BLOODRUST. It also has a passive skill.
