Corrupted Fish are part of the Oakveil update in V Rising 1.1, and they’re quite a bit more than just gross collectibles. You can press them into Venom Sap or feed them to prisoners to raise their blood quality… With a small chance of disaster, of course.
Here’s where to find Corrupted Fish and how to use them smartly.
Where to Find Corrupted Fish
Oakveil Woodlands
Corrupted Fish spawn in Oakveil fishing spots.
Focus on tainted or foggy water pools, especially ones near the Venom Mixing Outpost.
Reports suggest they appear most in Brighthaven Docks fishing holes if corrupted fog is active.
Not every fishing spot gives them—stick to Oakveil and keep casting.
Drop Chance and Tips
Low spawn rate. Expect to fish 10+ times before seeing one.
Use lures or fishing boosts to increase your odds.
Bring a high gear score—many Oakveil areas are packed with high-level enemies near the water.
Try fishing during nighttime, which seems to slightly improve rare catches.
What to Do With Corrupted Fish
Blood Press
Press 1 Corrupted Fish = 12 Venom Sap and 2 Fish Bones
One of the best passive sources of Venom Sap for advanced crafting
Prisoners
Feed to raise blood quality over time
Has a chance to increase health, decrease misery, and slowly push toward 100% blood quality
Careful: there's a 1% chance the prisoner dies per feeding
Best used on low-misery prisoners with decent starting blood
Final Blurb
Corrupted Fish are ugly, rare, and slightly dangerous—just like most good things in V Rising. If you’re farming Venom Sap or chasing perfect blood, it’s worth braving the fog, grabbing your rod, and seeing what Oakveil spits back at you. Just… don’t eat one yourself.
