V Rising puts the ‘vampire’ in a ‘vampire survival game’ by incorporating various abilities and game mechanics related to how vampires are portrayed in popular media. For example, players should avoid walking into sunlight or else they will take damage. Then there is the character's never-ending thirst for blood that needs to be quenched.

To survive in V Rising, players have to collect materials, craft items, and structures. One of the most important structures in the game is a castle. It becomes a player’s base of operations to improve their strength. It also serves as a getaway from the sun’s rays and the threat of death at the hands of living humans.

However, every vampire in V Rising starts from humble beginnings. Building a castle in the game requires a significant amount of effort from the player. Once players obtain a castle, they will want to do everything in their power to prevent it from decaying. Here is how players can make their castles last longer in V Rising.

Structures in V Rising do not last forever, like the stone ruins players will inevitably come across when finding a place to settle. In the game, decaying is an actual game mechanic that is intrinsically tied to the Castle Heart. Players can think of the Castle Heart as the health of a castle.

During the main quest, which every player has to follow, an objective is given to build a Castle Heart. To build a Castle Heart in the game, players will require the following items:

Both of these ingredients are found in the world. Stones can be collected from small, gray rock formations and Blood Essence can be obtained from killing creatures, humanoid or animal. Players should consider farming more Blood Essence than what is required to build the Castle Heart
