Learn how to get Unicorn Blood in Dead Rails, including all crafting methods and the easiest way without finding a unicorn.
Unicorn Blood is a key ingredient in potion-making in Dead Rails, and getting it might sound complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re brewing Devil Tears or Angel Tears, Unicorn Blood is a must-have. Here’s how to get it, including the fastest and most efficient methods without hunting down a real unicorn.
What Is Unicorn Blood Used For?
Unicorn Blood is a shimmering pink-purple liquid that acts as the base for most advanced potions in Dead Rails. It doesn’t do much on its own, but it’s essential for crafting some of the strongest concoctions:
| Potion | Requires Unicorn Blood + |
|---|---|
| Angel Tears | Blood |
| Devil Tears | Kerosene |
| Holy Water | Water |
| Primordial Soup | Milk |
If you’re serious about potion crafting, you’ll need a steady supply of this rare liquid.
All Ways To Get Unicorn Blood
There are two main methods to get Unicorn Blood in Dead Rails — one involves hunting unicorns, and the other is much easier, using lightning or tools.
Method 1: Strike Any Liquid With Lightning
The simplest and most consistent way to get Unicorn Blood is to strike any liquid with lightning. Here’s how:
Electrocutioner
- Pour any liquid (water, milk, blood, etc.) onto the ground.
- Equip the Electrocutioner.
- Shoot the puddle with lightning.
- The liquid transforms into Unicorn Blood.
Lightning Rod
- Throw Holy Water onto the rod.
- Wait for a lightning strike during a storm.
- If successful, the splash turns into Unicorn Blood.
Crucifix + Zombie
- Pour a liquid on the ground.
- Place a Crucifix over it.
- Lure a zombie to walk over it during a storm.
- The lightning effect can change the liquid into Unicorn Blood.
Note: These methods can fail, especially if the storm doesn’t cooperate or the hit misses the puddle. Still, they’re much faster than hunting unicorns.
Method 2: Kill a Unicorn
If you’re lucky enough to find a unicorn in the wild, you can get Unicorn Blood by killing it.
- Killing a unicorn drops around half a bottle of Unicorn Blood.
- Unicorns are extremely rare, and many players never see one during a full run.
- Be prepared, they’re fast and not easy to catch.
This method is best left to players who are already well-equipped and happen to spot one.
How To Collect It
Once the puddle becomes Unicorn Blood, use a Glass Bottle to collect it:
- If the bottle already contains another liquid, you’ll create a mix.
- To make potions, pour and re-collect the exact combination you need.
The easiest way to get Unicorn Blood in Dead Rails is by striking any liquid with lightning, using either the Electric Gun, a lightning rod, or a Crucifix during a storm. While killing a unicorn is technically possible, it’s not reliable due to how rare they are. Save yourself the trouble, create it the smart way, and start crafting those powerful potions.
