As each player progresses in V Rising, they’ll begin to see that they have access to a plethora of different gameplay items, castle additions, and more. V Rising uses a boss system, which you can access from a Blood Altar, to progress the game. Essentially, once you defeat a boss, you’ll unlock a different recipe. Sometimes, this recipe is for an item that’s required to increase your gear score, and other times it’s a recipe for a station in your castle. The Alchemy Table is a station that’s unlocked through defeating a specific boss but it’s also a part of a main story mission in V Rising.
As with other unlockable stations, the Alchemy Table serves a very specific purpose. However, unlike something like the Blood Press, this particular station allows you to access an entirely new fleet of items to make your combat and building experiences much easier. To see exactly how to unlock and build the Alchemy Table in V Rising, check out the guide below.

Unlocking the Alchemy Table
In order to unlock the recipe for the Alchemy Table, you need to defeat the boss Clive the Firestarter. Clive has a recommended level of 28-30, so it’s unwise for any player under that threshold to try and track him down from their Blood Altar. Once players are ready to defeat Clive, they can use their Blood Altar to track and travel to his location on the map. If you want to make the process go quicker, you can find Clive in the Bandit Sulphur Quarry in the far western part of Farbane Woods.
This particular boss has several other mob enemies defending them, so it’s recommended to take out the henchmen first before attacking Clive the Firestarter. Once you’ve done that, you can focus on the boss themselves. Clive likes to use AoE attacks in the form of bombs. You will need to dodge quite a bit in order to survive the fight with the firestarter. You can easily go in to attack Clive during the cooldown between his bomb attacks. However, don’t get too overzealous, or else you’ll get caught in one of the red circles where his bombs come down. You could also use a crossbow to attack from a distance and simply dodge when the boss is attacking. If you’re curious about all of the different weapons in V Rising, check out our previous guide.
Upon defeating Clive, you will immediately unlock the recipe for the Alchemy Table, along with several other items, such as the Minor Explosive Box, Enchanted Brazier, and Sulphur Crafting Recipe. In regards to the Alchemy Table, it requires the following materials to build:
12 Sulphur16 Planks100 Blood Essence
All of these materials are fairly easy to obtain, especially now that you have the recipe to create sulphur. With the Alchemy Table constructed, you can now craft items like explosives and potions. These can make a giant difference when fighting bosses, so you should try and stock up on the different offerings to make sure you’re ready for your night fight.
