Caryll Rune

In-Game Description

    A Caryll rune that transcribes inhuman sounds.

    "Writhe" sees a subtle mucous in the warmth of blood, and
    acknowledges visceral attacks as one of the darker hunter
    techniques. Visceral attacks restore Quicksilver Bullets.

    Human or no, the oozing blood is a medium of the highest
    grade, and the essence of the formless Great One, Oedon.
    Both Oedon, and Oedon's inadvertent worshippers,
    surreptitiously seek the precious blood.

Overview

  • Caryll Runes are special items that you can attach to your character at the workshop in the Hunter's Dream. You can use up to four at onetime, and they provide a variety of very helpful effects. Use them tactically depending on the environments you plan to explore and the enemies you expect to face.
  • Before you can make use of Runes, you'll need the Rune Workshop Tool. This is found in Hemwick after defeating the Witch of Hemwick. After you have the tool, approach the Memory Altar in the Workshop and press X to equip Runes in your memory slots. You have three normal Memory Slots for basic runes, and a fourth "Oath Memory" slot. The basic runes are for use with normal Caryll Runes, and the Oath Memory slot is for Oath Runes only. Some runes have up to three different ranks, with higher ranked runes having more powerful effects.
  • Beware if you sell any Caryll Rune they will NOT respawn in New Game Plus.

Effects

  • Rear Visceral attacks can also trigger this effect, so staggering enemies from behind can lead to bullet restoration as well; that works well if you are using a weapon with a fast charged R2 like the Saw Cleaver. When combined with a powerful, high ammo consumption firearm like the Cannon, you can alternate between Rear Visceral attacks on weak foes and Cannon blasts on strong ones. All told, this is probably the most useful Rune that affects Visceral attacks. It can be used in combination with the others, though, to make Visceral attacks a viable tactic in many fights. Just beware that they won't benefit you as much against foes that can't be staggered easily.
