The Ruins of Mortium is the region of Vardoran taken over by the Legion of Noctum. The sun doesn’t shine there, and only those loyal to Dracula call it home, plotting the return of their master. These are all the enemies, V Blood bosses, resources, and camp locations in V Rising Ruins of Mortium area.
V Rising Ruins of Mortium Region Guide
The Ruins of Mortium area is to the east of Dunley Farms, above Hallowed Mountains. It ‘s a mid to late game region, with enemies starting at level 50 and going above level 80.
Dracula’s fanatical followers frequently open tears to the Shadow Realm, allowing his soldiers to pass through to Vardoran. Once there, their aim is to collect enough V Blood to resurrect Dracula. These tears are at the center of the new world events dubbed Rift Incursions.

Ruins of Mortium Resources
The single resource you can only find in the Ruins of Mortium is Bleeding Heart, a flower used in alchemical crafting. It’s similar in appearance to the background flowers accenting the land, so you’ll need to pay attention to the red glow around the plant.
They grow throughout the region, but if you really want to find them, Dracula’s Castle Garden is the best place to go. The plant is there in high numbers, which makes harvesting a large amount easy. I find this is one of the easiest flower resources to keep a high stock of because of this.
Additionally, the following resources can be harvested in Rise of Mortium:
- Blood Rose
- Stone
- Sulphur Ore
- Iron Ore
- Gems
- Wood
- Quartz
- Plant Fibre
Even though some of the ponds in the region aren’t frozen, there are no fishing spots in Ruins of Mortium.
Ruins of Mortium Locations
There are a number of camps in the region, including Vampire Merchants that you can purchase specialized weapons from. However, the main focal points are Dracula’s Castle, the courtyard, and the garden area. The closer you get to the castle proper, the more difficult the enemies become, with the Gargoyles and Sanguinary Guard looming over the entrance.
There are multiple ruins throughout the area, along with two Vampire Merchants and a Frozen Lake.
