The Bloodless | Small quests Darksiders 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Unlocking the quest
You can unlock this quest during a conversation with the trainer Draven in the [Eternal Throne] in the Forge Lands. Select The Kingdom of the Dead (the above screen) in the dialogue and you'll be asked to track down and destroy the titular Bloodless.
Note - every time you decide to start looking for the Bloodless, you're going to have to make some preparations. Open your Inventory and go the Talismans tab. Equip the Bloodless Talisman - otherwise you won't encounter any of them in the designated locations. Once a "hunt" is over, you can of course take the talisman off because it doesn't have any protective properties.
There are six Bloodless in total to exterminate - three in the Forge Lands and three in the Kingdom of the Dead. Their locations are detailed below. Make sure to examine the area after each battle because every defeated creature should drop some valuable loot.
Exterminate the Bloodless in the Forge Lands
All Bloodless in the Forge Lands are Ethereal Stalkers (ghostly versions of Stalkers).
1) [Stonefather's Vale] - explore the north-eastern part of the vale. You'll find the Bloodless in the same spot as a Book of the Dead page.
2) [Charred Pass] - the Bloodless resides in the ruins along the main trail. Watch out, because the area is also patrolled by numerous Constructs.
3) [The Fjord] - get to the ruins in the southern part of the Fjord, right by the water tank (screenshot 1). Examine the north-eastern part of the ruins (watch out for Stalkers and Prowlers!) to find a wall with an interactive handhold (screenshot 2).
Check out the upper balcony and you'll find your monster.
Exterminate the Bloodless in the Kingdom of the Dead
All Bloodless in the Kingdom of the Dead are Scarab Hulks.
1) [Lair of the Deposed King] - explore the second level of the dungeon's basement and you'll find a hall with a closed door (you need a Skeleton Key to open it).
2) [The Maw] - explore the north-western part of the Maw. Stay on your guard, because apart from the Bloodless there are also powerful variants of Skeletons here (mainly Skeletal Champions).
3) [Boneriven] (a dungeon you get to by going through [Sentinel's Gaze]) - get to the last chamber on the third level of the basement.
Return to Draven
This objective will appear in your log only after exterminating all six Bloodless. Travel back to the [Eternal Throne] in the Forge Lands, talk to Draven and select I've destroyed the Bloodless dialogue option. The rewards are 3500 XP and 15000 gold.
