How to catch Corrupted Fish in V Rising

For starters, you will require a fishing rod before you can even begin to think about catching Corrupted Fish. This can be crafted at a Woodworker's Bench using 120 Wood and 4 Coarse Thread. The two required resources can be found fairly commonly during the early hours of the game. The workbench, on the other hand, requires a bit more effort, as it is unlocked after defeating Rufus, one of the several V Blood bosses roaming the lands.

Once you have a fishing rod, you should visit the Oakveil Woodlands. The shallow, bubbling fishing spots there have a chance to spawn Corrupted Fish, especially during nighttime, when it is safer for your in-game character. Note that it is a rare fish, so several attempts may be required before you manage to catch one. We also recommend that you use bait.

The Corrupted Fish is a creepy-looking fish with a purple hue and a ghostly visage. Here's the in-game description for this fish in V Rising after catching it:

"A corrupted fish that can be pressed into Venom Sap using a Blood Press. Some fish are edible and have various effects, for human beings that is."

The fish has two purposes:

• Can be turned into Venom Sap
• Can be fed to Prisoners

Venom Sap is a resource used for alchemy crafting, from making Ember Glass and various types of Coatings to crafting buildings like a Purple Castle Teleporter and the Blood Homogenizer. To turn Corrupted Fish into Venom Sap, simply transfer it to the Blood Press machine (or the Advanced version of it).

Prisoners, meanwhile, are subdued beings caged in Prison Cells that the undead protagonists of V Rising can use for a variety of purposes. They are primarily used as handy meat sacks to be ravaged for blood as needed. Corrupted Fish can be fed to Prisoners to randomly alter their attributes, such as health, Misery status, and Blood Quality.

Feeding them this fish can enhance their Blood Quality, eventually up to a 100% rating; however, the Prisoner has a 1% chance of dying each time this is attempted.
