Basic Information

Icon	Name	Effect	No. Held	Stored	Usage Type	Note
	Beast Blood Pellet	Increase ATK power Decrease DEF [60 seconds]	- / 10	- / 99	Finite	Giant medicinal pellet that grants short-lived beasthood

In Game Description

Large medicinal pellets, supposedly formed of coagulated
beast blood. Banned by the Healing Church due to
their unclear origin. Grants a spurt of beasthood.

Ripping apart the flesh of one's enemies and being
rained upon by their splattering blood invigorates
one's sense of beasthood, feeding strength and
euphoric feeling alike.

Effects

These pellets temporarily awaken your inner beast and increase your attack power for 60 seconds. While under their influence, each successive hit will build up your beast gauge. Your physical attack power will increase depending on how much you fill your beast gauge; but be warned that your defense will fall as well. There are six levels of attack bonus; check out the table.

Note that the maximum level you can reach is limited by your character's Beasthood stat. Equipping certain attire will increase it and having high Insight decreases it. If you want to maximize your Beasthood, you'll want to keep 0 Insight Consider equipping the Ashen Hunter Garb - it has the highest Beasthood of any attire.

Having a high maximum doesn't help much if you can't fill your gauge, though. Attacks fill the gauge, but it automatically depletes over time, (R1) attacks don't fill the gauge much; (R2) attacks are generally better for this purpose. Multi-hit attacks also do well. The best weapon in the game for filling the meter when using Beast Blood Pellets is Logarius' Wheel; the transformed mode's (R2) attack fills the gauge very rapidly. The downside is that Beasthood only benefits physical attack power, while the Logarius' Wheel deals a lot of arcane damage, You can actually swap to another weapon after filling the gauge, though! You won't lose your Beasthood for swapping weapons if you used a pellet. Choose your favorite physical weapon and have it equipped in a quick-change slot.

You might think to use the Beast Claw in combination with the Beast Blood Pellets, but there is no benefit in doing so. The transformed state that enables you to increase your beast gauge does not stack with the pellets' effect. It is, however, worth using Radiant Gems to reduce the stamina costs of your attacks. The Anti-Clockwise Metamorphosis Rune to increase your stamina also helps. This will enable you to keep attacking and get as much damage out of your beast-state as possible. The Beast Runes also augment your transformed state.

Use these pellets whenever you want to do more damage and don't expect to be hit much; co-op with an NPC or another player is a perfect time to try them out. Let the other player get the boss's attention, and then let loose! The more you can attack, the better. Unleash the beast!

Cosmic Eye Watcher Badge: This badge can be found in Upper Cathedral Ward. Although you won't be able to reach it until very late, picking it up allows you to purchase Twin Bloodstone Shards from the shop. This will allow you to experiment with a wider variety of weapons. The Sedatives it unlocks are also useful, as any hunter who has stared down a Winter Lantern should know!
