Caryll Rune

In-Game Description

    A secret symbol left by Caryll, runesmith of Byrgenwerth.

    The rune for "Radiance," adopted by the sworn
    Executioners under Logarius' command.

    The executioners despise the impure Vilebloods,
    and no matter what the circumstances, would
    never cooperate with the bloodthirsty hunters
    who serve the undead queen, Annalise.
Note: Different in-game description (right) in US (1) & UK (2) versions (more). ✕

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 Radiance Oath effect increases the amount of HP your Blood Vials heal. This has a very obvious synergy with the Communion Rune. Sadly this effect in raw numbers increases healing effect of Blood Vial, which heals 40% of total HP, by around 2%. This Oath Rune will mark you as a Hunter of Vilebloods.
  • 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.
