Bravely Default Flying Fairy Vampire Job Class Guide: Genome Abilities and More

by

In the video game “Bravely Default Flying Fairy“, one fascinating job you can acquire is the Vampire. This role stands out for its versatility and operates in a way unlike many other jobs within the game. Starting the Vampire’s questline, however, requires some effort. You’ll need to travel around the world gathering keystones to unlock the seal leading to the Vampire Manor.

The role of a Vampire in this context resembles that of the Blue Mage character from the Final Fantasy series. What sets the Vampire apart is its Genome abilities, which enable you to acquire unique enemy skills. When an adversary employs a distinct skill on your team members, there’s a chance for you to learn a Genome skill while playing other roles. However, mastering the Genome Drain skill, a high-level competency exclusive to the Vampire Job class, is essential if you wish to learn skills from various classes.

The Vampire Questline

To initiate the vampire storyline, first, conquer the boss located at Eternia Central Command’s finale in Chapter 4. After successfully defeating the boss, make your way back to Eternia. Subsequently, follow the road leading to the Vampire Castle. Be aware that a Dragon Zombie may be encountered along this path; you might have already vanquished the dragon during gameplay.

After arriving at the castle, you’ll find the entrance is locked. To proceed, you must gather the keystones first. Each keystone is guarded by an elemental dragon when inspected. Once you’ve gathered all the keystones, return to the vampire castle and unlock the entrance. Venture deep into the castle, defeat Lord DeRosso, and you’ll receive the Vampire Job as a reward.

Note: If you progress to the next chapter, you will need to repeat the entire questline from the beginning. Or if you want to access the Vampire Castle again. 

Keystone Location

Previously discussed: To access the Vampire Castle, gather all the necessary keystones. Look over the specified locations to find them. While examining these stones, you’ll encounter an elemental dragon that needs to be defeated. It’s worth noting that these dragons can inflict various ailments, some of which may pose a significant risk if players are not properly prepared.
