How to get and use EMP in V Rising Oakveil Update
V Rising players diving into the Oakveil Update will stumble upon advanced defenses powered by steampunk contraptions and magical currents that block progress. EMP cuts through all of that chaos by delivering a burst of raw electromagnetic energy. Picture yourself creeping through shadowy corridors of an industrial stronghold, planting a small orb that will shatter every mechanical lock and stun every lightning guardian in its vicinity. This guide shows how to obtain that tiny powerhouse and wield it like a true master of the night.
Getting EMP
To claim the EMP recipe you must hunt down Voltatia the Power Master deep within the Transcendent Power Plant. Once you extract her V Blood you gain the schematic for EMP. Before you can craft you also need to unlock the Fabricator station by defeating Ziva the Engineer in the echoing halls of the Ironworks Foundry. Only then will the blueprint transfer into your crafting menu and let you begin assembling the pulse devices.

Crafting EMP
At the Fabricator you will need four Power Cores and twelve Iron Ingots per batch. One craft attempt yields five EMP units ready for deployment. The process takes a brief moment as gears whir and coils charge, filling the chamber with electrical hums and sparks. Remember to stockpile cores by harvesting from lightning storm locales north of Gloomrot and smelting iron in your furnace ahead of time to avoid mid-battle shortages.

Using EMP
Select EMP from your inventory and place it on the ground near any locked gate, turret, or mechanical foe you wish to neutralize. Then step back and strike the device with a ranged spell or firearm to trigger the explosion. The pulse wave radiates outward, cutting power and silencing devices for a short window. Use that moment to slip through sealed doors or finish off stunned protectors before they reboot.

Where to use EMP
EMP shines brightest at Doctor Blackbrew’s Castle where electrified gates bar the path to Adam the Firstborn. You can also disable Lightning Protectors roaming the courtyard or shut down arcane power conduits lighting up forbidden vaults. Strategic placement near groups of automatons allows you to clear entire wings without drawing their wrath one by one.

Carry extra EMP units and keep an eye on the crafting queue so you never run dry when storm clouds gather. Bat Form can help you bypass first gates if you want to save an EMP for the castle door itself. Timing your pulse to hit mid-attack on mechanical guardians ensures they remain disabled long enough for you to reposition and land finishing blows.
EMP transforms daunting electric defenses into trivial obstacles and opens new paths in the Oakveil Update. By hunting the right bosses, unlocking the Fabricator, and mastering pulse placement you’ll sweep aside steely foes and explore every hidden corner. Gear up, strike swiftly, and let the power of EMP light your way through the darkest machinery.
