Alright, gamer! You’re looking to delve into “The Blood” in *MIO: Memories in Orbit*! That’s a crucial part of your journey to save the Vessel. Just a heads-up, “The Blood” isn’t a literal pool of crimson liquid, but rather a significant location and one of the five celestial overseers, or “Voices,” you need to find. Think of it as a powerful entity or area you must access to progress.

Here’s the detailed breakdown on how to enter The Blood’s Sanctum:

**1. Reach The Blood’s Sanctum Attuner:**
Your first step is to navigate back to The Blood’s Sanctum Attuner, which is located in the left section of the Metropolis area.

**2. Acquire the Strider Ability (Highly Recommended!):**
The primary challenge in reaching The Blood’s Sanctum is overcoming powerful air currents that will try to push you back. The game intends for you to have acquired the **Strider ability** to successfully traverse these sections. This ability allows you to push through strong gusts of air. If you don’t have it yet, you’ll want to prioritize finding it!

* **Tip for Strider-less entry (Advanced/Cheese):** While not the intended method, some players have managed to “cheese” their way through the air currents without the Strider ability by performing precise attack combos and dodges. However, this is significantly more difficult and the Strider is the designed solution.

**3. Push Through the Air Currents:**
Once you’re at The Blood’s Sanctum Attuner and equipped with your Strider ability, you’ll need to use your striders to stand your ground and push through the intense air currents.

**4. Continue Forward Despite Warnings:**
As you make your way through the air currents and deeper into the Sanctum, you may encounter a voice urging you to turn back. Ignore these warnings and continue pressing forward.

**5. Encounter Liho, The Blood:**
Upon successfully navigating the treacherous air currents and reaching the end of the path, you will find Liho, who is “The Blood.” This encounter will trigger a cutscene, and you will then carry the “Voice of The Blood,” marking a significant progression in your quest.

After acquiring the Voice of The Blood, you’ll typically need to return to the Nexus Attuner and speak with Shii to sever the Pearl, and then Shii will direct you to the Vaults to find Dr. Halyn, The Hand.

Keep exploring, little robot! The Vessel holds many more secrets and challenges for you to uncover!
