Sage's Hair ❘ 聖者の頭蓋	Ritual Material

In-Game Description Special material used in a Holy Chalice ritual. A body part of a saint, sacrificed by the Healing Church in their search for Truth. The additional rite Fetid Offering invigorates the Watchers, making them more treacherous than normal, but also making them worthy prey for a special hunt. Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ Overview Conducting a ritual to create a Chalice Dungeon is fairly straightforward; when you've got a Chalice and the required ritual materials, approach a Chalice altar and select the Chalice Ritual option. In the Chalice Ritual menu you'll see the list of all your collected chalices in the large window on the left of your screen. Along the top of this window are four tabs, one for each class of Chalice, which affects the area that labyrinth will be set in. The central window shows the details of the ritual, including the Depth of the created dungeon, which is essentially the difficulty level, with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the maximum. The depth affects the required level for certain Basic and Rite Materials. For example, Depth 2 labyrinths will require Ritual Blood (2) and Tomb Mold (2), which can be acquired from the corresponding depth labyrinths or from certain chests and enemies from the previous Depth. The cost in Blood Echoes is also shown, along with the required materials, both for the ritual and any possible Additional Rites. If you have all of the required materials and are certain you want to use them, select the Conduct Ritual option to create the dungeon. Basic and Rite crafting materials can be found mainly in the Chalice Labyrinths from loot chests or enemy drops, with the rarer ones required to craft specific labyrinths also found in the main quest. Progressing though the game, acquiring Hunter Badges, defeating bosses and clearing labyrinths will also unlock certain Basic Materials in both Bath Messenger Blood Echoes and Insight shops in the Hunter's Dream. Ritual Blood and Tomb Mold basic materials have a numerical value in brackets next to them. These correspond to the depth/difficulty of a labyrinth, and can also be found on the same depth or one depth below. The highest level of both of these items (5), can be purchased from the Bath Messengers since Patch v1.07 (available on NG+). When using a Root Chalice to create randomly generated dungeons you'll usually have the possibility to conduct Additional Rites, at the cost of more materials. These rites add effects that can drastically change the conditions within each dungeon, usually making them much more challenging. They do carry some reward, however, usually in the form of increased item drops and Blood Echoes. There are four possible Additional Rites: Fetid Offering, Rotted Offering, Curse & Sinister Bell. Effects Sage's Hair are used to create additional rite "Foetid offering" for depth 4 and 5 root chalice dungeons. Enemies are strengthened when this rite is used. They will have their stats boosted and appear with a smoky red visual effect to signify their upgrade. This makes the dungeon harder, but rewards you with more Blood Echoes. It also increases the amount of items that will drop from defeated enemies, making it very much worth the effort to kill those powered-up enemies. Use Pthumeru Ihyll Root Chalice Rite materials required: Sage's Hair x3 To conduct additional rite: Fetid offering. Lower Ailing Loran Root Chalice Rite materials required: Sage's Hair x6 To conduct additional rite: Fetid offering. Pthumeru Ihyll Root Chalice Rite materials required: Sage's Hair x6 To conduct additional rite: Fetid offering. Isz Root Chalice Rite materials required: Sage's Hair x6 To conduct additional rite: Fetid offering.

Sage's Hair: Drop Pools

For the most part, items dropped by enemies are decided simply by a random per cent chance from that enemy's own list of potential items. When an enemy appears in a dungeon, it sometimes has one or more of its drops determined by the dungeon's Depth, in order to give better rewards for more challenging dungeons. Such items are selected from a pool of similar items, and these pools are shown here. The upshot of this is that an enemy might drop a Tomb Mold (1) in the Depth 1 Pthumerian Root Labyrinth, but would drop a Tomb Mold (5) instead in a Depth 5 Isz Gravestone dungeon.

Pool Name	Depth 1		Depth 2		Depth 3		Depth 4		Depth 5
Sage's Wrist Pool		Blood Vial Depth 1		Sage's Wrist Depth 2		Sage's Wrist Depth 3		Sage's Hair Depth 4		Sage's Hair Depth 5
