Riftstalker Bloodfiend

Riftstalker Bloodfiend is the boss of the Vampire Slayer. It lives only in the Rift, at Stillgore Château.¹ You earn the quest's Combat XP there by killing the Château's vampires (Thralls, Fledglings and Splatters).² Unlike the other slayers, quests cost Motes instead of coins: 2,000 for tier I, rising to 10,000 for tier V.¹ Once the boss spawns, the other vampires nearby leave you alone.¹

The fight

The Bloodfiend's health and damage are counted in Rift hearts. When it's low enough, a hit with a Steak Stake deals a big burst of Rift damage and finishes it.¹

• I: it drains your hearts every second and sometimes turns into a bat to reposition. At half health it becomes immune for 26 seconds (Mania) and draws a ring of blocks: stand in the safe ring at the right moment, and don't leave the circle.
• II: every 7 seconds it throws two claws, one forward and one back. After Mania, Clotgoyles spawn and each takes one of your hearts until killed. Its Stonewrath slam destroys their corpses for good; corpses it misses come back to life.
• III: two Manias, during which you must obey quick commands (click up, click down, jump or sneak). It also throws a candle spring that you must squash by alternating left and right clicks within 15 seconds, or everyone dies.
• IV–V: less time for the commands and heavier hits. Tier V adds a blood ichor that you must break within 25 seconds by making the boss's claws hit it.

Slayer XP and the RNG meter

As with every slayer, only bosses you spawned yourself count for Slayer XP, and levels unlock recipes and permanent stats.³ Tier III and higher kills fill the Vampire RNG meter. Your chosen target drop gets up to three times likelier as the meter fills and is certain once it's full; getting it spends its cost from the meter.⁴
