Bloodstained Ritual of the Night is an exploration-focused, side-scroller action RPG set in England around the late 1700's. You play as Miriam, an orphan woman who has awoken from a decade-long coma only to find that she has been scarred by an alchemist's curse that is slowly crystallising her body. These crystals that are infusing her body give Miriam the ability to harness demonic power which she must use to battle her way through demonic castle that has emerged from the remains of the Alchemist Guild. Check out our Bloodstained Ritual of the Night walkthrough and guide to help you save Miriam and stop hell from being unleashed on the world.

Try Different Weapons

There is a whole array of weapons that Miriam can use, these include swords, guns, battle-axes, knives, maces and whips. Each of these weapons has a different damage output, reach and speed. Make sure you try out as many different types of weapons as you can so you can find the ones that best suit your play style, whether it's keeping your distance with a gun or getting up close and personal with a dagger.

Explore Areas

Explore the different areas in the castle as thoroughly as possible so you can find new items, discover hidden upgrades and fight enough enemies to level Miriam up. The map is full of save points, teleportation rooms and shortcuts to previous areas which you will not find if you do not explore. Check out our Shard Location Guide to find out where you can find this resource that gives Miriam special abilites.

Search for Breakable Walls

Everything may not be as it seems when you enter a room that appears to be a dead end. Many rooms will have valuable items hidden behind breakeable walls. Identifying these breakable walls is not easy as they look identical to their sturdier counterparts and the only way you will be able to tell if it is breakeable is by hitting it with any weapon you have equipped. If a wall begins to crack you can be sure it is hiding a secret.

Study Enemy Patterns

The enemies in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night can be punishing if they hit you so make sure you avoid them whenever possible as you never know where the next health-restoring save point might be. The best strategy to defeat them without sustaining damage yourself, especially during boss fights since they are capable of dealing huge amounts of damage in a short period of time which even healing potions will not full replenish is to spend time studying their patterns to see if they have a weakness you can take advantage of.

Pay Attention to Doors

You will encounter two types of doors in the game: silver ones with red outlines and black ones that have yellow-orange flame patterns. The silver doors with the red outlines are safe and signify that a new area lies beyond. The doors with the flame patterns however indicate a boss fight is about to happen. Before engaging in this boss fight it is advised that you go back and save, check your equipment, and level up as much as you can. There are also certain doors in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night that require keys to access them.

Inaccessible Areas

You will come across some areas that will initially be unaccessible and will require the right tools to access them. These include locked doors, gaps that are too far for a human to jump, and platforms that are too high to reach. When you get to these areas make sure you add a marker on the map so you know where to return when you have what is needed to access them.

Talk to NPCs

After major boss fights you will often be given helpful information by NPCs regarding how to reach the next area. Although they will not tell you exactly where to go they will give you clues such as items you might need, or obstacles you can now traverse. Two NPC's who are good sources of information are OD, the vampire who lives in the library, and Dominique, the Church agent in Arantville. Check out our How to Collect Movement Powers to find out how you can obtain them all to get the good ending.

Level Grinding

The easiest way to level up in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is to find a room that is preferably near a save point that houses a horde of XP-rich enemies that you can defeat. Then once you have defeated them, exit and immediately reeter the room to get more XP from them as they will have respawned.

Boss Fights

Although bosses guard essential upgrades and always give massive amounts of XP it is advised that you avoid the temptation of trying to take them on straight away and instead thoroughly explore every room on the level so you gain all the items and XP you need to defeat the boss. If you are still struggling to defeat a boss you may wnat to consider checking out our Unlock Codes page to find a cheat that will help you.
