Caryll Rune

In-Game Description

    A Caryll rune that transcribes inhuman sounds.

    The "Clawmark" is an impulse to seek the warmth of blood
    like a beast. It strengthens visceral attacks, one of the darker
    hunter techniques.

    Although the difference is subtle, Runesmith Caryll describes
    the "Beast" as a horrific and unwelcome instinct deep within
    the hearts of men, while "Clawmark" is an alluring invitation
    to accept this very nature.
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

  • The Clawmark Rune increases the damage of your Visceral attacks. Given that staggered foes already take double damage from other attacks, it isn't always particularly useful. The main benefits of Visceral attacks are the knockback that they can cause and the invincibility frames that they give you. In a crowd of foes, they are a lot safer than performing a normal attack as a follow-up. If you are using other Runes to augment your Visceral attacks, Clawmark could be a helpful bonus.
  • Visceral attacks do good damage if your weapon isn't upgraded much or if your stats are still low. Once you have a maxed out weapon and appropriate stats, they tend to under-perform. They are, however, affected by damage multipliers like the Fool and Poorman gem effects, so using a Clawmark Rune can give them respectable damage with the correct gem effects. If you just want to deal a lot of damage but don't want to give up the Rune slots, consider using other attacks to follow up on a stagger instead.
