An **unholy blood** is a rare item dropped by [apostles](../../bosses/apostle). It is used as a crafting component for multiple endgame items.

## Obtaining

### Mob Loot

An unholy blood can be obtained only by defeating [apostles](../../bosses/apostle). One unholy blood is dropped each time; the dropped amount is not affected by the [Looting](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Looting) enchantment. The item is immune to [fire](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Fire) and [explosions](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Explosion), but not [cactus](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Cactus). When dropped by apostles, it will take 10 minutes for the item to despawn.

## Usage

Uses an assortment of [rituals](../../rituals/ritual-types).
