How to get Daggers in V Rising Oakveil Update

     So you're on the hunt for a weapon that screams speed, stealth, and stylish combos? Look no further than the Daggers in the Oakveil update of V Rising. These aren’t your average stabby tools - nope, they’re precision instruments of pain, perfect for hit-and-run tactics and mid-range chaos. But before you start slashing your way across Vardoran, you’ll need to track down a tricky V Blood boss who plays a dangerous game of hide and seek.

 

 

 

Where to find Daggers

 

     The Daggers are locked behind a boss named Bane the Shadowblade. Sounds spooky, right? Well, this guy lives up to his name. He doesn’t chill in one place like some other bosses. Instead, he roams around the roads of Dunley Farms wearing a cloak and pretending to be just another wandering traveler.

 

 

     It’s a whole hide-and-disguise game, and if you aren’t paying attention, you’ll walk right past him. The best way to find him is by using your Blood Altar and tracking his scent. Once you’ve got the trail, head to spots like the Dunley Monastery, Dawnbreak Village, and Bastion of Dunley - he usually follows a circular route connecting these areas. Keep an eye out for a cloaked figure that glows faintly with a purple mist. That’s your guy. Once you land a hit, the disguise drops and the real battle begins.

 

 

 

How to defeat Bane the Shadowblade

 

     Alright, so the fight with Bane? It’s chaos in a trench coat. The moment you trigger the fight, he’s going full aggro mode - spamming daggers, teleporting, and summoning a whole bunch of decoys to mess with your head. You’ll want to keep your distance early on. Ranged weapons like Crossbows and Bows are solid picks to start chipping away at him. But don’t get too comfy from afar.

 

 

     If you let up for even a second, Bane will dash in and throw a roundhouse AoE that can knock you on your vampire butt. He also drops a ‘disguise trap’ move where he poofs out and surrounds you with multiple copies. Only one is real, and if you hit the wrong one, boom - skeleton ambush. The real one always glows with a purple mist and stands out if you look close. Focus him down, dodge the dagger storm, and keep the pressure high. Be careful, though. If you wander too far from the original fight spot, he’ll just vanish and reset like a slippery eel.

 

     Once you’ve sent Bane the Shadowblade back to the grave you’ll unlock the Merciless Dagger blueprint for crafting at any standard crafting station in your castle just like other weapons. Gather four iron ingots, two bloodstone shards, and six leather scraps in your inventory. Approach a Smithy, open the weapons tab, select the Merciless Dagger recipe, and hit craft to forge your new twin blades of vengeance.

 

 

 

How Daggers work

 

     Now these weapons are a bit different. They’re not just about whacking things - they’re tactical. The Daggers store up to four ghostly blades over time while you’re not attacking. Then when the moment’s right, you unload them in a rapid burst.

 

 

     Think of it like loading a slingshot, holding tension, then releasing it right in someone’s face. You also get two slick skills: Rain of Daggers and Release Daggers. Rain of Daggers is a flashy leap-and-throw move where you jump up and toss four daggers in a spread. Each one deals damage and snares enemies for two seconds.

 

     The daggers then stay embedded in the ground like little landmines waiting to be called back. That’s where Release Daggers comes in. It yanks all nearby daggers back toward you, slicing through anything in their path, dealing bonus damage, and reducing the cooldown of Rain of Daggers. Plus, each returning blade gives you one stored dagger stack. It’s a rhythm of toss, trap, release, and repeat.

 

 

 

Best builds for Daggers

 

     Daggers love speed. The faster you move and the more often you strike, the better they perform. If you’re aiming for a strong PvP or PvE build, you’ll want to combine high attack speed with movement speed and cooldown reduction. Brute Blood is solid if you want healing and extra survivability, but Rogue Blood might be even better if you’re going for pure movement speed and crits.

 

     Use Storm Veil to zoom around the battlefield like a blur, or Frost Veil to chill enemies and slow them down so they can’t escape your flying daggers. For spells, Blood Rage is a killer pick. It boosts attack speed and can even apply a fading snare, which pairs perfectly with your hit-and-run playstyle. Phantom Aegis can also keep you alive longer in PvP since it gives you a quick shield and lets you trade more aggressively.

 

 

     Don’t forget about Veil of Storm if you want extra stun potential and a chance to dash in, unload a combo, and dash out before your enemy even realizes they’ve been hit.

 

     The Daggers are all about movement and momentum. Don’t stand still and trade hits. That’s not what they’re made for. Think like a ninja. Get in, drop Rain of Daggers, back off, then dash in with Release Daggers to punish and escape. Rinse and repeat. Try setting up your fights near terrain or obstacles. Since the daggers stay in the ground, you can bait enemies into bad positions, then pull them back through with a perfect Release.

 

 

     When fighting bosses, dance around their big telegraphed moves, toss your daggers, and pull them back when it’s safe. In PvP, aim to stay on the edge of combat, chipping away and forcing enemies to make mistakes. Your burst is sneaky strong if you time it well. You can also mix in Frost Bat or Wraith Spear for quick CC setups that make landing dagger combos a breeze.

 

     The Daggers in V Rising Oakveil update are the perfect weapon for players who love speed, strategy, and style. From their unique blade storage mechanic to their high-skill ceiling in both PvE and PvP, they reward players who stay mobile, think ahead, and strike surgically. So go track down Bane, unlock your inner assassin, and dance through the battlefield with blades in hand.
