Bloodveld are a type of demon that use their long tongues to attack their victims. Being a Slayer monster, Bloodveld require a Slayer level of 50 to be damaged by players. As a demon, it is affected by demonbane weapons. Bloodvelds are popular among many players for their high hitpoints and low Defence, thus making them good sources of experience.

Bloodveld are one of few monsters that attack with magic-based melee, meaning that despite it using melee attacks against the player, it is the player's magic defence (rather than their melee defence) that is used to determine the accuracy of the Bloodveld's attack. As such, it is recommended for players killing Bloodveld to equip armour with decent magic defence, such as dragonhide, as they are relatively accurate in combat. Players using Prayer should still pray melee instead of magic to nullify damage.

There are many locations to kill bloodvelds, though the most common one is the Stronghold Slayer Cave, due to its close proximity to a bank. The bloodvelds can also be killed here with a dwarf multicannon, making them more AFK. The Meiyerditch Laboratories are notably multi-combat and cannonable. It is not recommended to kill bloodvelds elsewhere, as these spots either do not allow the use of a cannon; notably, the God Wars Dungeon does not allow the superior Insatiable Bloodveld to spawn there, so it is not recommended to do tasks at the dungeon.

Players can also kill Mutated Bloodvelds in place of normal bloodvelds. These bloodvelds have even more hitpoints than their non-mutated counterparts and a vastly improved drop table to make up for their difficulty. Mutated bloodvelds are primarily found in the Catacombs of Kourend, though players who have made partial progress in Sins of the Father can access a second location in the Meiyerditch Laboratories. Both of these locations are multi-way areas, though the laboratories allow for the use of a cannon, thus making them more AFK there than in the catacombs. A third location is offered in the Iorwerth Dungeon, requiring completion of Song of the Elves. This location is a single-way zone, but bloodvelds here can occasionally drop crystal shards.

Monster variants[edit | edit source]

Monster	Combat level	Slayer XP	Locations	Notes
Bloodveld	76	120	Meiyerditch Laboratories Slayer Tower (1^stfloor^[UK]2^ndfloor^[US]) Slayer Tower (basem*nt) Stronghold Slayer Cave	For each tier of the Morytania Diary completed, players receive an additional Slayer 2.5% experience for Bloodveld slain at the Slayer Tower. Each tier completed results in an additional 3 Slayer experience per kill.
Bloodveld	81	134	God Wars Dungeon Wilderness God Wars Dungeon	The slightly-stronger God Wars Bloodveld variant are followers of Zamorak, and will be aggressive to the player unless the player has a Zamorak item equipped.
Insatiable Bloodveld	202	2,900	Meiyerditch Laboratories Slayer Tower (1^stfloor^[UK]2^ndfloor^[US]) Slayer Tower (basem*nt) Stronghold Slayer Cave	Superior slayer monster variant, which has a chance of spawning on a Bloodveld's death after purchasing the Bigger and Badder unlock for 150 Slayer reward points from any Slayer master. Cannot spawn from the Zamorak-aligned Bloodveld in the God Wars Dungeons.
Mutated Bloodveld	123	170	Catacombs of Kourend Iorwerth Dungeon Meiyerditch Laboratories	Mutated Bloodveld in the Catacombs of Kourend can drop ancient shard and dark totem pieces, and can be killed in multicombat. In the Iorwerth Dungeon mutated Bloodveld can drop crystal shards, and this location can only be accessed after completion of Song of the Elves. The Meiyerditch Laboratories location is the only place where a dwarf multicannon can be used to kill mutated Bloodveld, and the area is only accessible with partial completion of Sins of the Father (after giving Saafalan the book).
Insatiable mutated Bloodveld	278	4,100	Catacombs of Kourend Iorwerth Dungeon Meiyerditch Laboratories	Superior slayer monster variant, which has a chance of spawning on a mutated Bloodveld's death after purchasing the Bigger and Badder unlock for 150 Slayer reward points from any Slayer master.
Reanimated Bloodveld	N/A	35	Dark Altar Other (see notes)	Using the Expert Reanimation spell on an ensouled Bloodveld head, players can reanimate a Bloodveld for greatly reduced slayer experience. However, the player also receives 1040 prayer experience for each kill. If the spell is not cast within a reasonable amount of time of picking up the head, or if the player trades the head or teleports away, then the user will need to reanimate the heads at the Dark Altar in Kourend.

Location comparison[edit | edit source]

Location	Map	Amount	Multicombat	Cannonable	Safespottable	Notes
Catacombs of Kourend	Maplink	18 Mutated	Yes	No	Yes	The tunnel to the south-west is a safespot for the player to use.
Iorwerth Dungeon	Maplink	12 Mutated	No	Yes	Yes	The mutated Bloodveld section of the cave is split into two sections, both of which contain 6 Bloodveld and a safespot. This section is very close to the entrance of the cave, meaning it is easy to leave and come back.
God Wars Dungeon	Maplink	16 Bloodveld	Yes	No	Yes	Both a Saradomin item and Zamorak item are required to use this safespot. Rope (to access the dungeon itself for the first time) - Two more ropes will be needed if venturing into Saradomin's Encampment on the first visit. Superior version will not spawn in this location.
Meiyerditch Laboratories	Maplink	4 Bloodveld 7 Mutated	Yes	Yes	Yes	Since this area is multi-combat it is the best place to use a dwarf multicannon providing the highest slayer experience per hour for this task. The drops will cover the use of the dwarf multicannon. This location is somewhat hard to reach.
Slayer Tower (1^stfloor^[UK]2^ndfloor^[US])	Maplink	15 Bloodveld	No	No	Yes
Slayer Tower (basem*nt)	Maplink	12 Bloodveld	No	No	Yes	The Slayer ring can be used to teleport to the main entrance of the tower. Fairy ring code CKS lands you in the west of Canifis, just south of the tower. Since this area is only accessible to those on a Slayer task, it may be less busy.
Stronghold Slayer Cave	Maplink	12 Bloodveld	No	Yes	Yes	Use a Slayer ring to teleport directly to the entrance by Nieve. Use the Spirit tree to the Tree Gnome Stronghold and run south-west. Use the Necklace of passage to Teleport to 'Outpost' and then run north-east.
Wilderness God Wars Dungeon	Maplink	5 Bloodveld	Yes	No	Yes	Using the Agility shortcut from Trollheim puts you much closer than running directly from Edgeville, but requires 64 Agility. All monsters in the dungeon are aggressive to any player unless they have equipped at least one item that is devoted to their god.
