How to Get Blood in Conan Exiles

Learn how to get Blood in Conan Exiles! Discover the best methods using the Fluid Press and Grinder, plus tips on where to find Blood-Sacs and what Blood is used for.

Alright, so you need Blood in Conan Exiles, huh? Don't worry, it's not as grim as it sounds and it's actually pretty essential for some key crafting recipes. We've got two main ways to get it consistently, plus a couple of lucky breaks. You'll want to get a Fluid Press and a Grinder set up as soon as you can. Sometimes, you can also find Blood-Sacs in treasure chests from enemy camps or as drops from exotic creatures, but these can sometimes contain Demon Blood or Black Blood instead of the regular stuff.

Build a Fluid Press

The Fluid Press is your go-to for reliable blood. You'll need 50 Shaped Wood, 10 Twine, and 10 Iron Bars to build it. Once it's up, you'll be hunting creatures. Not everything drops blood, but Human Flesh is a sure bet. So, keep an eye out for humanoid camps near your base – they're your best bet for a steady supply. Generally, if you loot the head, carcass, or sometimes even the liver from a creature, you'll get blood from the Fluid Press. For anything else, it's worth tossing it into either the Fluid Press or the Grinder to see what you get; you've got nothing to lose by experimenting.

Build a Grinder

The Grinder is a pretty basic station, requiring 50 Bricks and 10 Branches. It's great for breaking down resources. You can grind various body parts like Severed Arms or Severed Legs, and there's a decent chance you'll get blood from them. This method isn't as consistent as the Fluid Press, but it's a good backup when you need to maximize your blood production. Honestly, just throw everything you get into both stations – you might be surprised what you end up with.

What Can Blood Be Used For?

Blood is super important for making Potent Compost, which you'll need to grow rare plants like Lotus Flowers. These flowers are key for crafting powerful potions that heal you, boost your stamina, or increase your damage – super useful for tough fights or dungeons. You can also use blood for basic food like Blood Sausage, which restores health and hunger. Plus, it's used in cosmetic recipes like warpaint and even for sorcery tomes. So yeah, you'll be needing blood for a good chunk of your early-to-mid game progression. Make sure those Fluid Press and Grinder stations are ready to go!
