The Blood Cloak is a Cloak that converts damage taken into either Hearts or MP. It is similar in appearance to the Crimson Cloak, which only modifies statistics.
Game specific information[]
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night[]
The Blood Cloak converts each point of damage taken into Hearts. It gives CON +4, which is one more CON than the Reverse Cloak and one less than the Elven Cloak. While it is just slightly below average in regard to defense, this actually works for the better, as when sustaining more damage the player will regenerate more Hearts.
Due to its ability to restore Hearts, the Blood Cloak is arguably one of the most useful Cloaks in the game. Since Cloaks are mainly used for just a bit of added defense, it is well worth the sacrifice in exchange of the potential ability of having a good supply of Hearts most of the time. This is especially useful when using sub-weapons that consume large quantities of Hearts (like the Cross, which uses 100 Hearts per use), as well as to quickly restore Hearts after boss battles.
The Blood Cloak can be obtained relatively early in the game. It is located in the basement torture room of the initial section of the Colosseum (past the Paranthropus). This area can normally first be entered after obtaining the Leap Stone in the Castle Keep to double jump past the moving statue in the clock room of the Marble Gallery. However, if the Form of Wolf jump kick trick is used to kick the wall candle in this location, the Colosseum (and the Blood Cloak) can be reached earlier than intended.
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence[]
Called Bloody Cape in this game, it also converts damage to Hearts as it did in Symphony of the Night. It gives no stat boosts in this game.
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair[]
Wearing the Blood Cloak while taking damage causes the MP meter to fill up. The cape is otherwise unremarkable (+3 to HP, MP and DEF) and is the only cape that does not offer protection against some kind of attack.
