Caryll Rune

In-Game Description

    A secret symbol left by Caryll, runesmith of Byrgenwerth.

    A transcription of the roar of a labyrinth beast, the bearer of
    the "Beast" rune has accentuated transformation effects.

    "Beast" is one of the early Caryll Runes, as well as one of the
    first to be deemed forbidden. The discovery of blood entailed
    the discovery of undesirable beasts.
Note: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓

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

  • This rune directly increases your Beasthood stat. As a result, you'll have a higher maximum attack boost while in the Beast Transformation state. This is only helpful when you are using Beast Blood Pellet or the transformed mode of the Beast Claw. Furthermore it isn't that difficult to maintain high Beasthood without this Rune. You can equip armor with high beasthood, and maintaining low levels of Insight will also help.

Availability

  • Tier (1): Dropped by (Main Story): Beast-possessed Soul, base of the Tower in Healing Church Workshop.
  • Tier (2): Dropped by (Main Story): Afflicted Beggar in Forbidden Woods Windmil Balconies, near where Cannon can be found. Cathedral Ward Outside Oedon Chapel, after telling him about this safe place.
  • Tier (3): Treasure in (Root Dungeons): Lower Loran; yzskxt9c, F/R Lower Loran L1, bonus area before layer lamp [tested May 12, 2020]; alternatively found in False Depth Dungeon, z57ajjqd, Lower Loran L1, side area before layer boss [tested May 12, 2020]

Notes

  • The Beast rune has a hidden effect that reduces falling damage by a percentage amount equal to the bonus it gives to Beasthood. The Beast +20 rune would reduce falling damage by 20%, while the Beast +100 rune will negate all falling damage. Falls from a fatal distance are still lethal.
  • In-game description was slightly different on version 1.0 than what there is now on version 1.09. [image]
  • By sending the Afflicted Beggar to the Iosefka's Clinic he will be turned into a Small Celestial Emissary and is easily killable without triggering his beast transformation.
