Vampires: Bloodlord Rising is an open-world RPG game featuring both single player as well as multiplayer modes. In this game, you play as Dragos, a vampire who has to rule three different areas. For more information about the game, head over to its Steam page.
As this is an RPG game, your choices will matter a lot. There are going to be quite a few twists and consequences based on your choices. Also, it is an open-world game, so it may get confusing from time to time. For that reason, here, I will provide you with a walkthrough of the Prologue in Vampires: Bloodlord Rising so you can have the best possible experience.

Vampires: Bloodlord Rising is an open-world RPG, and this walkthrough is based on my personal playthrough. Your experience may differ depending on how you approach the game. The game also features choice-based decisions that can influence the main story and lead to different outcomes. I generally chose options that result in positive consequences, but you’re free to make any choices you feel are better suited to your playstyle.

Ghosts Of The Past

The first main objective of the prologue is going to be Ghosts of the Past. You will have to complete several sub-objectives to complete it.
Leave The Crypt

As you start the game, you will find yourself in the underground area. Your first objective will be to leave the crypt, so head up the stairs and blast away the debris ahead. Then, you will find yourself in the open world, and the sub-objective will change.
As you leave the crypt, a pop-up will appear telling you about Blood and Existence. After that, you will have to drain blood from an animal. You can find a rabbit just ahead, so drink its blood, and the next objective will be to get to Castle Hill. Follow the directions, and you will be there in no time.
Defeat Inquisitor Patrol

Your next sub objective will be to defeat the Inquisitor Patrol. This will be your introduction to the combat mechanics, so start fighting the enemies ahead. Do note that a counterattack can only happen when you see a yellow flare. This will also appear at the command you are supposed to enter to counterattack.
You cannot drink the Inquisitor’s blood as they have poisoned their veins. So, after defeating them, you need to get out of the Chasm. However, before you do that, make sure to grab the Vampire’s Tear, which is the bluish, flashy object.
Get Out Of The Chasm

Keep going ahead, and eventually, you will face two more inquisitors. Defeat them, pick up another Vampire’s Tear, and keep going ahead. Now, on the left side, you will find some Limestone. Get some materials and then follow the path to the right.
Go up the stairs, and once you are at the top, follow the quest marker to complete the sub-objective.
Should You Drain The Blood From The Villager Or Let Them Live

Now, the next objective you will have is going to make you think a bit. You can either drain the blood from the villager or let him live. As this is a choice-based game, it depends on which option you want to choose. However, I recommend letting the villager live. For that, simply go past him while hiding in the bushes, and the objective should be completed.
Also, on the opposite side of the village is Medresti Mausoleum, where you can find loot and rest in the coffins inside. After you have completed the objective, head to the stone bridge, but make sure to stay hidden.
Get To The Ruins On Castle Hill

As you reach the stone bridge, you can run ahead to the ruins on Castle Hill. You will eventually reach there and meet Razvan. Talk to him. After you have talked to him, your objective will be updated, and now you have to pour blood into the core.
You can fill the core with your blood, and if the red bar on the left side is just over the drop, you will be able to fill it. However, then you will be left with no blood, so you will need more blood. That said, after pouring the blood, talk to Razvan again, and the Ghosts of the Past quest in Vampires: Bloodlord Rising will be completed.
Then a cutscene will trigger, and you will see a pop-up of the lands you have to rule.
From Ashes We Rise

The second main objective of the prologue in Vampires: Bloodlord Rising is From Ashes We Rise.
Talk To Razvan
Your first task in this main objective is going to be talking to Razvan. After talking to him, you will have to build a Crypt. For that, you need some materials. There is plenty of Limestone in the area, so destroy the ruins to get some.
Get Wood, Clay, And Sand

Then, there are plenty of trees around from which you can get the wood. So, get the wood, build a crafting station, and then make some wood planks. When done, you will have to head over to the river to collect sand and clay. So, head over to the stone bridge, go down, and collect some sand and clay.
Do note that there are going to be some inquisitors down there, too. So, defeat them, and this is probably where you will be able to use your first finisher. After you have collected enough sand and clay, make sure to collect the Vampire’s Tear and then teleport back to the base.
Make Mortar In Crafting Station

Now that you have sand and clay, you can make Mortar in the crafting station. Now, you can build almost all of the Crypt, but do note that you will have to do it manually. Once done, collect the roof tiles around the area, and you will be able to finish building the Crypt.
Build A Chest And A Coffin On The Catafalque

You just need wood planks for the chest, so it will not be an issue. The same is the case for the coffin. You just need the Limestone and wood planks to make one. Do so, and the quest From Ashes We Rise will be completed.
Kiss Of Eternity

Kiss of Eternity is the third and last main objective of the prologue in Vampires: Bloodlord Rising, which starts right after finishing the Crypt and making a coffin.
Talk To Razvan
Now that you have made yourself a Crypt, it is time to talk to Razvan, as he may have something helpful for us. After talking to him, he will give you one of Vorago’s old robes. You can now change your form and either be an Aristocrat or a Hunter. The former can talk to the villagers and collect rumors, and the latter can fight and sneak, but your presence will cause fear.
Get To Medresti

Now, head to Medresti and talk to the villagers. Alongside that, there are going to be two optional tasks: visiting the trader and the innkeeper. The trader will be on the left side as soon as you enter the village. Talk to her, and while she will see through your disguise, she seems to be an ally.
Gather Rumors To Find Yourself Some Worthy Servants

You can now either buy some things from her or just hear gossip. The innkeeper Boian will also be marked. Head over to him, and you can collect tax from him (80 gold), and you can also ask him what is going on in the village. He will tell you about three people. After that, talk to the NPC outside, and you are likely to get two more.
Do note that you can talk to more villagers and get even more options to choose from.
Create Vampires Using Kiss Of Eternity

Now, mark the people you want to turn into a vampire on the compass and head over to them. Note that you need to be in Hunter mode in order to use Kiss of Eternity. Once you have selected two candidates, make them into vampires, and they will be awaiting your orders at Castle Hill.
As this is the start of the game, you can go with anyone, but it is better to go with the one who can perform better tasks. Once you have two servants, make two coffins for them. Then, assign them the coffins from the management tab and assign them what they need to do. You also need to assign one of them to destroy the ruins.
Craft Wood Planks With The Help Of Your Servant

You can assign one servant to two tasks, so assign one of them to the crafting station and then assign wood planks to the first slot. Then, you will have to make a Gathering Station, which will cost 40 planks, and assign one of the vampires to it. After that, assign a vampire to feed the core.
Once you are done with all of these objectives, talk to Razvan, and the Kiss of Eternity quest will be over. With that, the Vampires: Bloodlord Rising Prologue will be complete.
