If you’re diving into V Rising, you’ve probably got your eye on the legendary shattered weapons. But before you can get to grips with these epic tools of destruction, you’ll need to unlock the Ancestral Forge.

Ancestral Forge is essential for anyone in the endgame who wants to repair one of their broken weapons. Unlocking the forge itself isn’t too difficult, but it does mean planning ahead and gathering specific resources. It’s perfect for those who’ve been grinding for ages and are ready for a new challenge.

First up, you’ll have to face Raziel the Shepherd, a formidable level 57 boss in the Dunley Monastery in the Dunley Farmlands region. Raziel is known for his crowd control skills and powerful Crimson Beam attack, which can drain your life if you’re unprepared.

However, Dunley Monastery is a dangerous place for vampires in V Rising because it is filled with Holy Radiation. This radiation quickly drains your health, making it essential to protect yourself. The solution? Holy Resistance Potions.
