1. Echoes Of Mutilation Dash in to stack Bleeding on a whole group. With Rending Mutilation and the three hit increases, one cast fills the Bleeding cap in the video. 3:38
2. Tendon Slice More Bleeding. 2:00
3. Savage Claw More Bleeding. 2:00
4. Shadow Convergence The finisher. Wait for at least 16 Bleeding unless the target is almost dead. Hit at 8 or more Bleeding for the delayed burst from Harvesting Convergence. 2:46

• In the game files, Murder Tempo gives 20% Attack Speed and 15% Critical Damage for 4 seconds after a critical-hit kill. Zelendes describes it as more critical damage on every critical hit. 2:27
• The build takes all three Harvesting Convergence increases, so Shadow Convergence consumes more Bleeding. 3:20
• Zelendes picks Repeating Mutilation because an afterimage repeats the strikes when the dash ends. The game files add that it halves the Double Strike stacks the spell grants, and the afterimage hits at 40% damage. 4:00
• The Carrion Parrot pet swoops on Bleeding enemies and adds Bleeding to the target and one more enemy nearby. Zelendes is unsure where they found it. The game files place its unlock in Wildwood Forest part III; after that Myrll sells it for 50 gold once Myrll has joined your base. 4:09
• Zelendes thinks Savage Claw comes from the wolf boss. Brutalclaw makes Savage Claw apply 5 more Bleeding at 3 pieces and deal 33% more damage at 5 pieces. The game files list Brutalclaw as a drop of Wildwood Wolf Alpha. 6:15
• The codex screen lists Gorehorn as dropped by Wildwood Wolves and Wildwood Aetherfang Wolves, and found in Wildwood Forest chests. 6:43
• Blood Rage Potion gives 5 Rage, which raises Physical Damage, according to the video. 7:09
• The pet slot holds a level 8 Carrion Parrot named Waffles. 4:34
• The set icons on the tooltips show where each set sits. Gorehorn fills seven slots: the rune, undercoat, charm, both rings, one amulet and one bracer. Pitfighter has one amulet and both badges, and Thornborn has the belt and the other bracer. Zelendes opens only one badge, so the second badge has no row. 5:00
• Four pieces are at +11: the Pitfighter amulet and badge, the Gorehorn amulet and the Thornborn bracer. The rest are at +0. That fits Zelendes saying some of the gear is not upgraded yet. 4:41

The video does not show these, so this guide leaves them out.

• Where the Carrion Parrot is. Zelendes points at the map but is not sure.
• The main stat and extra stats of the second badge.
