Red Hood

Red Hood is one of the main characters in the BLACKSOULS series. She’s one of the fairytales in the game, and she can also be your companion. Red Hood is one of the rare human characters you can find in the game, and she’s probably the one with the most tragic backstory.

She’s based on Little Red Riding Hood, who appears in the Brothers Grimm version of the fairy tale.

Appearances | RHW

Red Hood makes her first appearance in the series in Red Hood’s Woods – a game dedicated to her and parts of her backstory.

You will be playing as Red Hood throughout the entire game.

The Beginning

When you start your playthrough you will wake up as Red Hood in her house.

The letter on the table downstairs is from Red Hood’s grandma, she tells Red Hood to not go outside because it will be raining the whole night and there’s also a Big Bad Wolf prowling outside.

When you read this letter the door to the kitchen will be unlocked and you will be able to go to the Basement, from where you start your adventure in Red Hoods Wood’s.

In the Basement, there are mirrors that lead to different areas. The only mirror that’s not broken leads to the Fog Woods and that’s where the player, i.e. Red Hood will start her adventures.

Poro will appear in the basement after progressing a little bit in the game. You can talk to him, trade with him, and reinforce weapons.

Red Hood’s Message

There’s a message from Red Hood written on a sign right at the beginning of the Dark Woods area.

The message is written by Red Hood, she’s asking if anyone knows where her mom and dad are, asking anyone to inform her if they know where her parents are.

Lost Memories

In the Snowfield area, there are various memories you can collect and visit. Each one will activate a specific cutscene showing a portion of Red Hood’s past.

There’s a memory from Red Hood’s past that shows an unpleasant encounter with her grandpa.

After everyone in the family fell asleep, she got called into her grandpa’s room to undress. Then the grandpa will be having forceful sex with Red Hood who’ll just stay silent, as if it was a normal occurrence. The grandpa will remark how the silence is nice because no one can hear them.

Another one of the memories shows Red Hood also being forced by her grandpa to have sex with him, and it’s quite graphic.

The third one shows also Red Hood being sexually harassed by her grandpa, and from that conversation, it’s revealed her parents died so he took her in.

Cheshire Cat

When you reach the Great Bridge after leaving the Dark Woods you will meet Poro again.

Red Hood will call out Poro by saying how he’s everywhere, and he will respond with “because I’m everywhere, I’m nowhere”. Red Hood will then tell him to stop imitating the Cheshire Cat, Poro will be surprised and ask Red Hood if she began to remember, not specifying what.

She will say she doesn’t know, and he will just say how “it’s close”, and that’s how he feels.

Red Hood Meets Poro

After defeating the Incandecent Demon King there will be a cutscene that shows how Red Hood and Poro met.

The scene will show Red Hood asking “mister Wolf” to give her a moment, so she will ask him if he can eat a person. Red Hood wants the wolf to eat her grandpa, but the wolf is too afraid to attack a human even when Red Hood tells him how she knows it’s hard for wild animals to get food.

So to solve this problem Red Hood will say how she will bring him food instead, and then the wolf will introduce himself as Poro, saying how he will wait for Red Hood to come with the food.

Red Hood will then go back to her grandpa and brutally stab him to death. So before going back to her grandma, she will go to Poro with the meat she acquired from her grandpa.

This made Red Hood so happy she even smiled.

At the end of the scene, she questions herself why did she even forget all that, ending the conversation with weird remarks about “grandpa’s meat in Poro”, “and I lived happily with grandma”, questioning where even is she.

Fighting Fenrir

After beating the Incandecent Demon King, Red Hood’s house will completely change and be a different area where you have to defeat the Zombie Dragon and the Hollowed Serpent to progress further.

This will lead you to Poro who’s starting to go insane, and that will initiate a fight with him where he will be fighting you as Fenrir.

After Red Hood calms Poro down both of them will make up, Poro will apologize for the trouble, and Red Hood will apologize for feeding him human flesh.

This will end with an NSFW scene between Red Hood and Poro.

When the scene ends, Red Hood will point out how the place where they are right now isn’t reality, but not state the exact name of their location. Red Hood will after that be able to summon Poro in her fights.

Fighting Grandma

When you reach the last area in the game there will be Grandma waiting for Red Hood to kill her in order to take revenge for the murder of her husband, i.e. Red Hood’s grandpa who got killed and whose meat got fed to Poro.

Grandma saw the entire thing Red Hood did to her grandpa. After that Red Hood saw that she was watching so she chased after Grandma until she slipped near a river.

Poro will call her out because Grandma isn’t Red Hood’s real grandmother. Grandma is still determined to kill Red Hood though, saying that this is her world and that Red Hood can’t do anything.

This will initiate a fight with the Grandma, who’s very strong so you should use Poro to help you against her as he’s a strong ally.

Grandma will transform into the Great Nightmare when you defeat her 1st phase.

After defeating the Great Nightmare everything will be over, and Poro will tell Red Hood how she will wake up from this “dream”. And then she and Poro will copulate on the spot to celebrate their victory.

Red Hood will wake up and the game will be finished. Room of Reminiscence will then also be unlocked and you will be able to see all the NSFW scenes in the game.

Appearances | BS1

Red Hood is a character you can have as your companion in the first BLACKSOULS game.

Getting to Red Hood’s House

To be able to get to Red Hood’s House, you need to defeat the Knight in Armor who’s located at Fort Ivern, just before the Gate of the Last Empire bonfire to be exact.

After this encounter with him and Belle, a boat will appear in the Holy Forest at the lake, and from there you will be able to get to the Observed River that leads straight to Red Hood.

To get to her house in the first place you will have to defeat the One Who Observes. This boss shares the same design as the Fog Monster from Red Hood’s Woods.

Meeting Red Hood

Red Hood has her own house and that’s the place you will most likely meet her for the first time. She’s sleeping upstairs in her room and you have the option to either wake her up or undress her.

When she wakes up she will act like you aren’t even there, remembering that she needs to feed Poro she will go downstairs.

Red Hood in the Kitchen

When you wake up Red Hood she will be in the kitchen downstairs feeding her wolf companion, Poro. Poro is her best friend and the only person she relies on and the only one she can fully trust – she has known him for quite some time and the beginning of their relationship is covered in Red Hood’s Woods.

When you come up to her in the kitchen she will be talking to Poro. Red Hood will be telling Poro that he’s a good boy, bringing up an idea to go on a picnic once the rain stops because then they will be able to go wherever they want.

Red Hood will then tell Poro that they’ll always be together and that it’s a promise, even though they’ll have to live in this world.

Red Hood will then notice that you’re in the kitchen as well, she will tell you that she’s busy, asking you to please come later.

When you back out of the dialogue options with her she will call you a “Good boy”.

Buying Red Hood

After some time passes after talking to Red Hood in the kitchen and after a certain amount of progression in the game, Red Hood will be upstairs in her room.

If you have a fairytale Red Hood will notice it and remark how it obviously wasn’t made for kids because the contents are too cruel, she will wonder who even wrote it in the first place. She doesn’t know much about fairytales but she feels uneasy because of them.

When you talk to Red Hood you will have the option to either buy her or assault her. You can buy her for 3000 souls and after that, you will be able to get her to join your party if you pay her enough.

If you say that you want to buy her again she will ask if you want her to become yours and if you say that you’re not kidding she will want to do it for 100000 souls.

If you give her 100000 souls Red Hood will be a little bit amazed that you were serious. She will say that she will follow you from now on but if you’re too cruel she will stab you through the back.

Poro will come too, and she will ask you to treat her and him well.

Red Hood in the Holy Forest

After buying Red Hood to be your companion, she will appear in the Holy Forest, a little bit above the Prayer Master and Leaf.

If Elisabeth is in the Holy Forest, she will notice that and ask you whether she should ignore her or go and talk to her. If you tell Red Hood to go and talk to her and come back later, you will notice that Elisabeth is missing from her usual spot.

Elisabeth really despises Red Hood, who’s allegedly her daughter, and she doesn’t want to see her at all. Afterward, you can go to the Forest of Abandoned and find Elisabeth there in her demonbeast form.

Hotel Poseidon

If you rescue Red Hood from her house and take her to the Holy Forest, when you get her to the 100th level you will be able to take her with you for some alone time in one of the rooms in Hotel Poseidon. Ask Pinocchio at the reception for a room, if he’s still alive of course.

The NSFW scene is quite interesting, to say the least, but you can kill her if you’re just looking for her fairytale.

Misc | BS1

Miscellaneous interactions with Red Hood.

Raping Red Hood

When you talk to Red Hood while she’s in her house you will have the option to rape her. If you do that you will get into a fight with Red Hood and Poro – if you win the fight you will assault Red Hood and she will be sad that Poro is dead.

She will say that she won’t break their promise and that they’ll be together, so Red Hood will slit her throat right in front of you, dropping the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale and dying.

Killing Red Hood

If you didn’t buy Red Hood you will be able to kill her later in the game. To have the option to kill her you must get the first 24 fairytales and put them all in the correct bookshelves in Alice’s Library. You have to talk to her once and have her notice that you have a fairytale with you.

When you try to kill Red Hood she will be surprised. She will ask you whether you’re still searching for the end because her tale reached its end a long time ago. She wanted to be loved by her family and to have a happy ending where her mother sent her to her grandmother and the Big Bad Wolf got slain by a huntsman.

That didn’t happen in her case, she says that her grandpa raped her and her grandma died.

She can’t tell apart reality, dreams, and illusions. Memories that she doesn’t remember sneak into her head as if someone was tampering with her brain. Red Hood says that if there’s a God who gave her this fate, she wants to slit their throat.

Red Hood will fight you alone, without Poro by her side. She won’t fight back, and will just look around. The fight is easy but it’s also depressing because at this point she has given up on everything.

Once her health gets low enough Poro will come to try and save her. Poro will be angry at Red Hood because she broke “the promise”, so she will call herself the worst and tell him to stop because she already decided. Poro will let out some kind of a cry and she will tell him that they don’t exist.

When you kill Poro she will tell him that they will be together again very soon.

Before Red Hood dies she will remark how she’s finally going to wake up from the nightmare.

Fighting Red Hood

The fight with Red Hood is difficult not only because she’s strong but also because she’ll be fighting you with her companion, Poro.

Killing Red Hood will get you the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale.

Playing in the Water

If Red Hood is in the Holy Forest, and on the 30th level or higher, you will be able to see her playing in the water in the southern part of the Holy Forest the next time you go there. If you have H scenes on, Red Hood will be naked. Poro is accompanying her as well, but only she’s in the water.

Red Hood will not mind you seeing her naked. She will wash her naked body, saying that she stinks of blood from all the fights with the demonbeasts. You will be a bit surprised by how hygienic Red Hood is, and she will remark that the fairies kept telling her that she’s stinky.

Red Hood will then tell you that you should head back before Poro wakes up, because he’s always in a bad mood when he’s getting up.

Red Hood in the Basement

Red Hood doesn’t appear in the Basement because when you rape her she will kill herself.

Appearances | BS2

Red Hood is a significant character in BLACKSOULS 2.

Reunion

BLACKSOULS 2 introduces the SEN mechanic, which is basically a meter of your sanity in the game. After a certain amount of SEN, you’ll see the world in a deluded way that’s far from reality.

When you enter Lutwidge Town from the Rabbit Hole, there’ll be a mirror from which Red Hood will appear. You will see her as a beast if your SEN is high, and then you’ll have to fight her if you don’t escape on time.

But if your SEN is low, she’ll immediately recognize who you are, and from then on, your storyline with her starts. She won’t be a deadly beast but rather just a human.

She’s usually by a bonfire in most areas, but some interactions aren’t a part of the bonfire dialogue.

Red Beast

If your SEN is high and you head towards the Lutwidge Town from the Rabbit Hole, right after defeating the Headhunting Beast, a beast that sorta resembles Red Hood will pop out of the mirror, and start chasing you.

At the same time, Detective Holmes will call out to you, to tell you to hurry up towards him down the stairs to escape the Red Beast. You can decide whether you want to confront the Red Beast, or if you want to go towards Holmes to save yourself from her.

If you initiate a fight with her, you’ll immediately recognize her as Red Hood in a different form due to how she looks.

She is incredibly strong, so you shouldn’t attempt to fight her in the first place unless you’re certain you can defeat her.

Bonfire Conversations

Red Hood will have interesting things to say at each bonfire.

Here are all the locations (bonfires) you can meet her at:

• Fuming Forest
• Rabbit Hole
• Liddell Cemetery
• Ripon Grand Cathedral
• Mushroom Village
• Slaughterhouse
• Red Castle Frissel
• Garden of Hearts
• Billingsgate Fish Market
• Carroll River
• Ruined Brothel
• Ox Ward Academy
• Duchess’ Mansion
• Beach of Grief

In the Fuming Forest, she will seem kinda tired but she will say that she doesn’t mind the heat and that there’s no need to worry about her.

In the Rabbit Hole, she will say that she doesn’t feel like attacking rabbits, and then she will go on to mention how before she came here she was saved by a white rabbit a few times. Red Hood will say that looking back at it now it may be thanks to that white rabbit that she came to Wonderland.

At the Liddell Cemetery, she will talk about how her consciousness dims and how her feet are unsteady. Red Hood knows that feeling because she felt it before so she says that this must be “their domain” and that they must’ve noticed her intrusion already but they leave her to it. She wonders if they’re letting her swim on a whim.

In the Ripon Grand Cathedral, Red Hood says that she wonders if a benevolent God really exists, she thinks all of them are bastards.

In the Mushroom Village, she will call the village nostalgic and remark how it changed quite a bit since the last time she visited, or perhaps she’s misremembering things. Either way, she doesn’t remember it all too well. The Mushroom Village was present in Red Hood’s Woods.

In the Slaughterhouse, Red Hood will talk about how “merciless imagination gives birth to masterpieces like Cinderella and Snow White”, but (while addressing you as Grimm) even she finds the “story of kids playing slaughtering to be terrible”.

At the Red Castle Frissel, she will say that the monarch is the heart of a kingdom, but once the heart goes mad it seems that the people, the soldiers, and everyone else turns weird all together.

At the Garden of Hearts, she will say how she left house-keeping to Poro. Red Hood will also say that Poro has been feeling lonely without you so she asks you to give him some good scratches when you all get back.

At the Billingsgate Fish Market, Red Hood will ask you if wolves eat fish, she’s wondering if Poro would enjoy them. But she corrects herself quickly saying that she should forget about it because the fish here is abnormal.

At the Carroll River, Red Hood will ask you if you remember the black knight, Lindamea. She says that he’s still searching for you even though the Black Trial is destroyed, although she doubts he’d follow you even here.

In the Ruined Brothel, after the whole Red Hood becomes Alice ordeal she will talk about how splitting up was correct, and that unless you two kill the mastermind quickly something terrible awaits you.

At Ox Ward University, she will say “A university? How nostalgic.” followed up by “…? Why did I just…”

In the Duchess’ Mansion, she will say that there’s no need for words to attack others, because “just stab to death those who stand in your way”.

At the Beach of Grief, Red Hood says that she doesn’t want to be near the sea, not because she’s afraid but because she hates it.

Red Hood Becomes Alice

In the Upper Lutwidge Town area, there’s a Ruined Brothel building where you can find a bonfire and Red Hood next to it on the second floor. Red Hood will only be there if Jack the Ripper is still alive, and if you already met her once.

Red Hood will talk about how the fog reminds her of the Lost Empire, mentioning also how the outside world is in a “miserable state” as well. But even though the outside world is full of maddened mobs and people turned beasts, she still claims it’s better out there than here in Wonderland.

Red Hood wants to find the cure for Grimm’s cursed body. After a bit, she will ask you how long have you been here in this world. You will only be able to respond with “Alice”, and Red Hood will be confused, but that will just end up with even more Alice-related dialogue options.

Red Hood will then state how you aren’t Grimm, and the only thing you will be able to do at that moment is to force yourself onto Red Hood. This will lead to an NSFW scene where you dress Red Hood in Alice’s clothing and then copulate with her.

Red Hood won’t be happy at all during this scene and she will not accept you calling her Alice and treating her like Alice. The scene will end with you choking Red Hood in a similar manner to when you choked Leaf during Ending C in the first game.

When the scene ends Red Hood will be quietly sobbing on the bed. The whole ordeal startled Red Hood and made her emotionally weak. She is glad that Grimm stopped and that his sanity returned, saying how “If you weren’t Grimm, you really would’ve killed me”.

Mother vs Daughter

If you meet Red Hood at least once and head towards the utmost south part of the Pond of the Bloody Tears, you will see a locked building you can get into, and there on the other side of the fog, you can see Red Hood who’s having a face-off with an iron maiden.

You have to have 0 SEN for all this.

You can come through the fog and help out Red Hood, which will initiate a fight with the Queen of Torture Tools. Even though she doesn’t look like Elisabeth, Red Hood will already know that’s her and will even address her as “mother”.

Elisabeth will then reveal her true form, she will regain all of her health and then proceed to fight both of you at once.

After the fight, if you defeat her, she and Red Hood will start talking about how it’s all Mary Sue’s fault that Elisabeth hates her own daughter. But Elisabeth will digress and say how she didn’t try not to hate Red Hood and that it’s just “what sort of character” she is.

Elisabeth will die then, and you will get her fairytale along with the Meteor Shower sorcery.

Red Hood’s Mark

To get Red Hood’s mark you’ll have to go to the Beach of Grief to talk to her.

You have to make love to her first (force her if she’s reluctant), and then you’ll be able to get a kiss from Red Hood, i.e. she’ll leave her “mark” on you.

This isn’t necessary for Endings F and G.

Carriage Scene

If you met Red Hood 10 times there will be a unique interaction at the far right side of Lutwidge Town.

She will be at the part of the area where there are few carriages – Red Hood will be on a platform, and below there will be a Beggar Wolf enemy who’s trying to reach her. If you approach him you will get into a fight with him, he’s not weak but it shouldn’t be too difficult to kill him.

After you kill him Red Hood will jump from the platform and suddenly kiss you.

This will lead to Red Hood taking you to one of the carriages, initiating an NSFW scene. Red Hood rarely ever invites Grimm to intercourse, and it will first be in the dark until Grimm turns the light on inside the carriage.

The scene will get emotional for Red Hood as she will proclaim that she feels happy, while also stating how she wants to have a baby with you. She wants proof that she lived so she can think that her life wasn’t meaningless. Red Hood only wants to have a child together with you, saying how even Poro won’t do.

Grimm will call out to her, and then she will apologize and say how it was selfish of her. Grimm will soothe her a little bit and Red Hood will also seem to enjoy herself which is quite rare. After everything is done Grimm will embrace her as she leans on him, and they both enjoy the comfort they provide to each other in that moment.

Hotel Poseidon

If you go to the Terrible Tragic Hotel secret area and trigger the Hotel Poseidon Flashback you will be comforted by Red Hood once it’s over. But this is only the case if you already met her and talked to her once.

Red Hood will be surprised to see you and she will remark how you’re sweating a lot, and then she will wipe it for you.

You will have certain dialogue options to reach with.

If you tell her that you killed your companions she will tell you that it’s not your fault and she will propose to look for a way to bring them back to life, since the fairytales they originate from must still remain there. She says the chance may be low but there’s still hope.

If you tell her you saw a terrible dream, she will say “Dreaming inside a dream. How wondrous”.

And if you ask her why is she here, she will say she saw you go under the sea, so she checked if she wouldn’t drown, saying how it looks like in this dream there’s no reason to worry about that.

After this short dialogue with Red Hood, she will still be in that room in the Terrible Tragic Hotel and she will make an interesting remark, saying how she’s glad this hotel is closed, remarking “its rules were in bad taste” and how “you’re wise to have never used it”.

Here you can see a unique NSFW scene with her.

Ending G

After triggering the events that precede F and G endings, you will be summoned to an area called the Little Girl’s Nightmare, where you will have to get through the majority of the characters in the game, but now they’re in their true forms.

They’re very strong, but you don’t have to fight them to get further.

After reaching Node and going past her, you will eventually encounter Red Hood, who’s all alone. When you start talking to her, though, another person will come to interrupt both of you – Mary Sue.

Red Hood and Mary Sue will be insulting each other, but then Mary will turn to you and thank you for saving her from jail. Red Hood will be surprised, but then you will get the chance to either save Mary Sue or Red Hood now that the world is ending.

If you choose Red Hood, it will anger Mary Sue a lot, and she will instantly get in a fight with you and Red Hood.

Red Hood is a useful ally, and Mary’s first form isn’t that strong. After taking out all of her health, Mary will turn into a demonbeast, and she will be significantly stronger.

After the fight is over, Mary starts going insane and reveals how Red Hood will automatically die when she turns 20, so she won’t even last half a year when everything ends. She says that Grimm will never be able to have a happy ending with any other girl, because it’s in his constitution that all heroines who come near him die in the end.

Mary will be laughing maniacally, so Grimm will step up and punch Mary straight in the face, and she will get thrown into a wall and presumably die.

Red Hood will quietly say that you two still need to deal with the mastermind.

As you two walk through the area, you and Red Hood will start talking about everything that Mary said just now. You will be able to either tell her that Mary lied and not to worry, or just say her name.

If you say that Mary lied, Red Hood will say that, as frustrating as it is, all of what she said is true. And if you call her by her name, she will laugh a bit and remark that you finally said her name.

Red Hood will say that she already found out about it while she was searching on her own. She knew about her lifespan and your predisposition, but she was too scared to tell you, so she will apologize.

Red Hood will then start talking about how both of you defiled your own souls over and over. She’s wondering just how many people you two have killed so far with no regard to how good or evil they were – she says that she lost count, and that there is no doubt whatsoever that countless grudges have piled on both of your backs.

But still, Red Hood will grab your hands and say that they’re very warm.

She says that the one who created her isn’t a mad god nor mother, but only you, she says that it was only you who created her, while addressing you as “Grimm”.

After that ordeal ends, she will say that it’s time to go.

Then, both of you will go through the exit and face Alice. You will make love with Alice because you don’t have another choice, but during the intercourse, instead of continuing if you back out of the dialogue options by pressing “X”, you will be able to kill her.

She will reveal her true nature and try to kill you, but Red Hood will slash her neck.

And then the real fight will begin, even Poro will come to assist you in your fight against Alice, or The Crawling One. Poro and Red Hood are very useful allies in this fight, as Alice is really strong in this form. After taking all of her health, she will activate her second form which is even stronger.

After the fight ends the entire world will start collapsing, that’s when all three of you will start running towards an escape. But then a giant object will fall and separate Red Hood and Poro from Grimm, with all other three Alices showing up and attacking them.

Grimm will leave them behind, and continue towards the real Alice who he will reach in the end. After Lewis Carroll comes out of Grimm and goes towards Alice, they will together go into the white void, but Grimm will continue further and wake up in a house in a totally different world.

When he leaves the house, he will find Red Hood, who has lost her arm, but at least she’s alive, and that’s where everything ends.

Ending H

Red Hood makes a crucial appearance during Ending H.

Red Hood Finds Grimm

After you defeat Grand Guignol, you will start to initiate the final moments and the completion of Ending H. You will first encounter Node, and she will say her goodbyes to you, and then Little Sister Alice will save you from Daughter Alice and Mother Alice trying to take you for herself.

You will be in a strange land that’s collapsing, jumping from platform to platform, and then, when you’re right about to fall, Red Hood will grab you by the hand and prevent you from falling into the abyss.

Red Hood will start saying how both of you will never leave each other ever again, and then Grimm will look down to see multiple Alices without faces dragging him down and not letting him go.

Red Hood won’t let you go, but you can stop her from holding you and save her by cutting off your hand, which will allow you to fall into the abyss.

Grimm Finds Red Hood

Appearances | DRH

Red Hood is the main character of a game in the BLACKSOULS series that’s currently in development – DEAD RED HOOD. For more details on things regarding that, check the DEAD RED HOOD post. When the game comes out, this section will be expanded.

H Scenes | BS1

Red Hood has nice H scenes.

Amount of H scenes: 7

H Scenes | BS2

More sex with Red Hood is available in the second game.

Amount of H scenes: 4

Personality

Red Hood appears to be emotionless, but there are meaningful scenes in the second game that show her true personality.

In general, due to her trauma, she kinda lost the will for any happy events in life. Her main goal is to fight and survive the cold world of Elysium and later Wonderland.

Her companion Poro (who’s a wolf) is her best friend, who’s almost at all times with her. When you meet her, they’ll be together, he’s her protector and vice-versa. They have a really nice friendship, which is probably what’s stopping her from suicide.

Design

The Red Hood of BLACKSOULS has a very iconic design that’s lewd and not easy to forget. She has short blonde hair and blue eyes – which kinda makes her look like Saber from Fate. She has a red cloak with a hood that has white fur on its edges.

Her cloak with a hood resembles a wolf, and under it is her naked body covered by thin lines of clothing that play a big erotic element in her design.
