Caryll Rune

In-Game Description

    A Caryll Rune that transcribes inhuman sounds.

    This red-smudged rune means "Hunter," and has been
    adopted by those who have taken the Hunter of Hunters
    oath.

    These watchmen admonish those who have become addled
    with blood. Be they men or beasts, anyone who has
    threatened the pledgers of the "Hunter" oath surely has an
    issue with blood.
Note 1: 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. They each provide an unique effect, but their main function is actually to identify your faction in multiplayer. For more details on the multiplayer system, check out PvP wiki page. Be careful when selecting one of the Oath Runes, or you might find yourself fighting another faction.
  • Beware! If you sell any Caryll Rune they will NOT respawn in New Game Plus.

Effects

  • The Hunter Oath increases your stamina regeneration rate; it synergizes with practically everything. If you use weapons that cost a lot of stamina to swing about, such as the Hunter Axe, this Oath can help you maintain enough stamina for defensive rolls... or more massive axe swings! It also works well with Beast Transformation; better stamina regeneration means more consecutive attacks, which it turn increases your damage multiplier from the Beast gauge. Utilizing this Rune marks you as a Hunter of Hunters.
  • Testing: Gif on the right side shows results of the test, without Hunter rune equipped (base) it took 105 frames to fully regenerate depleted stamina while when rune's effect was active it took 99 frames, making it ~6% increase of stamina regeneration.
  • UPDATE: From datamined param files you get +3 stamina regen when you have Hunter Oath Rune equipped.
  • Online Factional Conflict: Your Oath Memory Slot marks your factional alignment. There are four possible Oath types: 'Corruption' for Vileblood, 'Radiance' for Executioner, 'Hunter' for Hunter of Hunters, and 'None'. Executioner and Vileblood are naturally opposed to each other, and Hunter of Hunters has a set chance to oppose players with any of affiliations. By using the Sinister Resonant Bell, you have a 5% chance of becoming a "Blood Addled" Hunter, which is in opposition to Hunter of Hunters. If you attempt to join a co-op session as a guest and the host is a member of an opposing faction, you will instead be summed with the task of killing the host as a nemesis. For example, if you bear the Radiance Rune and the server's matchmaking pairs you with a player bearing Corruption, you will be summoned as a nemesis, even if you intended to join co-op play! Similar to using the Sinister Resonant Bell, the rewards for killing the host are 10% of the Blood Echoes they require to level up and 1 point of Insight.

Blood Addled Status

  • Blood Addled status is applied at a 5% chance when ringing the sinister bell. The player does not need to invade or kill another player to become flagged. One can ring the sinister bell over and over again and become Blood Addled.
  • Blood Addled status is cleared when killing a boss as a cooperator.
  • Blood Addled status is not cleared by hosting a cooperator and killing the boss.
  • Blood Addled status is not cleared in NG+.
  • Player will not become Blood Addled by killing NPCs in the story mode.
  • Player will not become Blood Addled by a Sinister Bell Maiden spawning in a Nightmare area or Co-Op. If invaded this way, killing the invader the player will not become Blood Addled.

Availability

  • Acquire from (Main Story): Eileen the Crow in Cathedral Ward Grand Cathedral [Blood Moon]. Speak to Eileen after defeating the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst

Notes

  • To host PvP with the beckoning bell using the Hunter Oath Rune, host must be "Blood Addled".
  • In japanese item description there is a line which explains Hunter rune mechanics better: 狩人狩りの敵は、血に酔い、不吉な鐘に共鳴する狩人である which roughly translates to "The enemies of the Hunters of Hunters are Hunters who become blood-drunk from using the Sinister Resonant Bell."
