Blood Crystals are the latest resource to be added to Conan Exiles Chapter 3 that players can mine while exploring the Exiled Lands. According to the game's lore, the crystal formed after the Giant Kings had fallen, with their Ancient Blood flowing into the earth and beginning its crystallization before it was discovered.
So it's natural that you might want to know how to find Blood Crystals in Conan Exiles. To locate this item, you must locate the sorcerer Mek-kamoses in the Exiled Lands during a certain quest, after which they can be used in various applications. This guide will detail all Blood Crystals locations in Conan Exiles: Age of Sorcery Chapter 3, including how to use them.
5th May 2023 Update: We've updated this guide to reflect the possible locations to farm Blood Crystals on The Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah in Conan Exiles' Age of Sorcery Chapter 3. The original article continues below.
How To Find The Blood Crystals In Conan Exiles
Blood Crystals are a new resource in the Age of Sorcery Chapter 3 update, tied to the update’s expanded story. As the sorcerer Mek-kamoses continues his quest for absolute power, you can encounter him at Mek-kamoses’ Spire, where he tasks you with seeking this valuable resource.
As players pass through Mek-kamoses’ Spire to bring Mek-kamoses various items in exchange for rewards, you’ll likely have to bring Blood Crystals to Mek-kamoses. As for where you can find Blood Crystals, according to the recent Developer Livestream, they’re not quite readily found in The Exiled Lands, as the locations are where the Blood Crystal Rocknose and Golems spawn.
However, it’s worth mentioning that these spawn locations won’t guarantee that you can find them, according to the developers. Once defeated, it will take some time before they respawn, so we’ve highlighted the best spots using the Interactive Map to farm this resource in The Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah:

The best method to farm Blood Crystals is to have the Detect Resources spell equipped for your character. This can only be acquired by upgrading the Tome of Kurak to Level 6, where you can get the Word of Power: Detect Resources spell.
Once you’re at a farming location, cast the Detect Resources spell using the Arcane Staff, which reveals all Blood Crystals mining deposits. Then, using the harvesting tool, you can strike the deposit by which the number of crystals mined depends on your harvesting tool's power.
The advantage is a 50% chance of gaining bonus crystals based on the Harvest Amount Multiplier server setting for increasing resource farming and mining. You can use Blood Crystals mainly for crafting purposes that have yet to be revealed; however, it can be used in Golem Shaping, the game’s new mechanic, which lets you produce and assemble your golem.
