Pungent Blood Cocktail Pungent Blood Cocktail Attract certain enemies - / 10 - / 99 Finite A mature blood cocktail, thrown to attract beasts

Pungent Blood Cocktail ❘ 匂いたつ血の酒

Consumable

In-Game Description

    Mature blood cocktail that releases a pungent odor when
    thrown that attracts blood-thirsty beasts.

    A precious tool in sadly short supply.

    In Yharnam, they produce more blood than alcohol, as the
    former is the more intoxicating.
Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓
Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓

Effects

  • When locked-on, Pungent Blood Cocktails are thrown toward the enemy in a forward arc. When not locked-on, the cocktail will move in the direction your character is facing. The camera's orientation can also effect the height of the throw; you can use this to throw them over walls and other obstacles. For extra precision, you can use the Monocular for manual aim. You can hold up to 10 at one time.
  • Pungent Blood Cocktails attract certain enemies, and they do so to the extent that the enemy will completely ignore you during its effect. It only last for a few seconds, but it's usually enough for you to either perform a deadly R1 combo or a charged R2 for a stagger. The best part is that these cocktails work on some of the strongest enemies in the game, including the Beast Claw wielding Hunter in Yahar'gul, Unseen Village (Blood Moon).
  • For more information about hidden enemy attributes and immunity to status such as Pungent Blood Cocktail effect visit the Hidden Enemy Attributes wiki page.
