Most players beat Dracula and think they're done. They're not. There's a secret final boss hiding in Blood Hunt, and his name is Kingpin. If you've been hearing Wilson Fisk's voice the whole run, well, surprise, surprise, he's the one you actually needed to worry about. Here's exactly how to find Kingpin as a hidden boss and complete the achievement.
You Need 3 Golden Keys First
To unlock the hidden boss Kingpin in Blood Hunt, you first need to complete the three hidden objectives in Extreme mode. Each one drops a golden key. Get all three, beat Dracula, and instead of the Victory screen, you get teleported to Times Square for the real final fight.
Miss even one key? Kingpin won't appear. Simple as that.
How To Complete All 3 Hidden Objectives
Phase 4 (The Bridge) — 90 Seconds
You have 90 seconds to destroy a barrier at the end of the bridge and reach the target point.
The biggest mistake most teams make here is stopping to fight enemies. Don't. Just run straight to the dome-shaped barrier, dump all your damage into it, and move to the target point right after. The timer is tighter than it looks, so every second spent fighting random enemies is a second wasted.
Note that there are four very strong enemies in front of the gate. Make sure to level up first so you can withstand their attacks and deal enough damage to break the barrier in time.
If your team can’t even destroy the barrier within 90 seconds, it means you need to grind more and level up, preferably by playing on lower difficulties.
Phase 7 (The Ruins) — No Timer
No time pressure here, which is a nice break. Your job is to find and destroy the Bloodclot Buds, glowing red flower-looking things scattered around the area.
The catch is that the number you need to destroy scales with your team size:
- Solo: 1 bud
- Duo: 2 buds
- Full squad of 4: 4 buds
They're not hidden in a tricky way, but you do need to actively scan the area instead of just following the main path. Once you know what they look like, you'll spot them pretty fast.
Phase 12 (Castle Entrance) — 120 Seconds
This is the hardest one. You have 120 seconds to destroy blood crystals that keep spawning around the area to break a sealing magic circle.
The crystals respawn quickly, and there's a lot going on around you, so it's easy to lose focus. The key is simple: ignore everything else and only hit the crystals. If you're in a team, call out the crystals to each other so nobody wastes time on enemies. You have more time than Phase 4, but the chaos makes it feel shorter.
What Happens After Dracula
Once all three keys are collected and you beat Dracula in Phase 13, the run doesn't end. You get pulled back to Times Square, and Kingpin walks out to meet you. It's a great moment, especially after listening to him talk the whole time like he's on your side.
How To Beat Kingpin
Kingpin isn't as menacing as Dracula, but he has two moves that will instantly kill you if you're not ready.
Watch out for these:
- Trance + Beam Attack — He locks you in place with his cane. Spam your movement keys (WASD or left analog stick) as fast as you can to break free. If you don't, the beam that follows is a one-shot.
- Jump + AoE Explosion — He leaps into the air, lands, and puts up a shield bubble that charges into a massive explosion. When he is charging inside the bubble, quickly deal a lot of damage to stun him.
Outside of those two, he also does a charge attack. Just keep moving and keep your distance, and his health will drop steadily.
Good luck, and enjoy the real ending of Blood Hunt.
