All Bosses in The V Rising: Invaders of Oakveil Update

The Invaders of Oakveil update for V Rising introduced a boatload of free content, from weapons, a deep woodland biome, and, of course, more V Blood bosses. Players can expect the latter to give them a run for their money, as so far, they've proven to be rightfully difficult.

There is a staggering number of bosses in V Rising, and the Invaders of Oakveil update just made that roster even large. Not all the update's bosses are locked behind the endgame, though, and if you want to prepare yourself for the challenges to come, here are all the bosses you can expect to fight courtest of the Oakveil patch.

All Invaders of Oakveil Bosses in V Rising

There are seven bosses in total from the Invaders of Oakveil update, and you'll start seeing them as soon as you enter the Dunley Farmlands. As always, make sure to upgrade your gear and get a functioning build before attempting boss fights.

Sir Erwin the Gallant Cavalier (Level 46)

Location: Horse Racing Track (Western Dunley Farmlands)
Unlocks: Cyclone, Ball Lightning, Discharge, Stables (and Stable decor)

Sir Erwin is a unique enemy in the sense that he is an actual mounted knight. He fights on horseback, making him fairly annoying to fight as a pure melee character since he moves around so much. Maces and axes are fairly decent at sneaking in some hits against Sir Erwin, though a ranged weapon like a bow or crossbow should be much more useful in this fight.

Gaius the Cursed Champion (Level 55)

Location: Colosseum (Northeast Dunley Farmlands)
Unlocks: Bone Explosion, Corrupted Skull, Ward of the Damned, Arena station (and decor), Twinblades

Interacting with the war banner in Colosseum in the farmlands will unleash Gaius, a gladiator armed with Twinblades. Unlike Sir Erwin, he's much easier to beat, as you can simply bait him into the edge of the arena and knock him back into the miasma, making him take severe damage.

Beating Gaius unlocks the Arena Station, which players can use to challenge other vampires to a duel.

Stavros the Carver (Level 75)

Location: Carver's Logging Outpost (West Oakveil)
Unlocks: Rain of Chaos, Void, Chaos Barrier, Advanced Sawmill, Purple Castle Teleporter, Weapon Coatings

Stavros is a tricky opponent. Most of his attacks leave lingering pools of venom, making melee combat very difficult. Ranged weapons and magic are the key to winning here, though a splash of patience will also help a lot.

Beating Stavros unlocks Weapon Coatings, which lets you imbue your weapon's next attack with a special effect.

Jakira the Shadow Huntress (Level 75)

Location: Patrolling the roads of South Oakveil
Unlocks: Curse, Mosquito, Mist Trance, Slashers, Elixir of the Twisted

Much like Tristan and Jade, Jakira can be found roaming roads and hunting monsters, such as yourself. She's a stealthy fighter who can turn invisible, making her a bit annoying to go up against. Damage-over-time effects from Chaos magic and spells that leave damaging fields can potentially reveal her location, though.

When defeated, players will unlock the Slashers as a craftable weapon type as well as the recipe for the Elixir of the Twisted, which increases Spell crit chance and crit damage for one whole hour.

Lucile the Venom Alchemist

Location: Venom Mixing Outpost (Central Oakveil)
Unlocks: Carrion Swarm, Blood Fountain, Sanguine Coil, Blood Homogenizer, Stand with Flask and Burner

Lucile is a ranged fighter who summons Golems to fight by her side. She'll be a bit hard to catch since she moves around a lot, but you can still get some hits in with a bit of patience. Summoning undead minions is a great way to force her attention away from you.

Defeating Lucile unlocks the Blood Homogenizer, which you can use to combine the effects of two different Blood Potions.

Dantos the Forgebinder

Location: Venom Blades Bastion (Oakveil)
Unlocks: Crystal Lance, Arctic Storm, Frost Barrier, Fusion Forge, Ember Glass

The fight against Dantos is an interesting one. His moves are fairly simple, but the arena itself is a weapon that he uses against you. It may take a while before you can completely pin down how his environmental attacks work, but once you beat him, you'll unlock one of the best features in the game.

The Fusion Forge lets you combine Ancestral Weapons or Jewels to create more powerful versions of them. Through this process, you'll be able to make the best gear possible for your builds.

Megara the Serpent Queen

Location: Venom Blades Bastion (Oakveil)
Unlocks: Pedestal of the Serpent, Dracula's Leggings (Shadow, Grim, Maleficer, and Dread variants)

The de facto final boss of the Invaders of Oakveil update is Megara, and the fight against her is nothing short of epic. She'll test both your build and your own skills in a large arena at the heart of the Venom Blades Bastion, and once you defeat her, you'll get the Soul Shard of the Serpent (assuming no one on the server has gotten to it first).

Soul Shards are immensely powerful items that grant significant stat boosts and powerful active skills. By default, only one type of each Soul Shard can exist at a time, and players will have to fight others if they want to claim the shards for themselves.
