Blood Rose

"The vines speak to me. They tell me of an abomination: a Blood Rose. Through the rose the blood flows to her, feeds her. It must be cut down."

- Hemlir^(src)

The Blood Rose, Vessel of Rebirth is a monster encountered in Diablo Immortal.^[1]

Lore

"So this is the source of the Dark Wood's corruption. Come then, monstrosity. Meet your end."

- An adventuer^(src)

While the Countess lay entombed in her tower, carnivorous plants broke through the soil to feed upon her body. In time, their vines were bound to her thoughts, and they spread across the Dark Wood to steal blood from the living.^[2]

Most prominent among the vines was the Blood Rose, located near the Sanguine Ruins,^[3] and the source of corruption that had gripped the forest. It collected the blood that was spilt within the forest, and fed it to the Countess. As long as it continued to feed her blood, the Countess could not die, and the corruption would never end.^[4] The Blood Rose itself resided in its own pool of blood.

History

"From the stump of the Blood Rose oozes a foul and black ichor—bane to flesh and blood. Blade and hide treated in the toxics are worth the fortunes of kings."

^(src)

The Bloodsworn, having ambushed a group of Rogues in the Sanguine Ruins, took their captives to the Rose so that they might be drained of their blood. However, the Bloodsworn were killed by the Shard-seeker, and the Blood Rose itself seemingly slain. However, Lakrii offered herself to the creature, and after draining her of her blood, was revived, forcing the hero(es) to do battle against it once more. However, it was again slain, this time permanantly.^[3]

After its end, the Blood Rose remained in place for decades, well into the Great Enmity, until it was naught but a stump. The stump oozed a foul and black ichor that was highly toxic. Blade and hide treated in this toxin were so valuable they were said to be worth the fortunes of kings.^[5]

In-game

Diablo Immortal

The Blood Rose is a boss in Diablo Immortal. It is found in the Sanguine Ruins during the "Blood Resurrection" quest, specifically in the Lair of the Blood Rose sub-zone. It is immune to knockback. It has two phases, the second triggering after Lakrii's offering.

In the first phase, it has the following attacks:

A sweeping stream of blood. Fired twice in both directions.
Balls of blood fired as projectiles from its two side tentacles
Five rows of thorns summoned from the ground.
Eruptions of blood at the player's location.

At ≈69% total Life (2¾ health bars), the Blood Rose summons Bloodsworn Simulacrums to attack. From then it's attack speed will increase, and more simulacrums will occasionally be summoned. In addition to its previous attacks, the Blood Rose can go into a feeding frenzy; where it draws players to itself, where which little creepers will viciously bite them. Any life a player loses in this attack is used to heal the Blood Rose.
