Third Umbilical Cord ❘ ３本目のへその緒	Consumable

In-Game Description (1) Abandoned Workshop A great relic, also known as the Cord of the Eye. Every infant Great One has this precursor to the umbilical cord. Every Great One loses its child, and then yearns for a surrogate. The Third Umbilical Cord precipitated the encounter with the pale moon, which beckoned the hunters and conceived the hunter's dream. Use to gain Insight and, so they say, eyes on the inside, although no one remembers what that truly entails. Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ In-Game Description (2) Arianna's Celestial Child A great relic, also known as the Cord of the Eye. Every infant Great One has this precursor to the umbilical cord. Every Great One loses its child, and then yearns for a surrogate, and Oedon, the formless Great One, is no different. To think, it was corrupted blood that began this eldritch liaison. Use to gain Insight and, so they say, eyes on the inside, although no one remembers what that truly entails. Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ In-Game Description (3) Impostor Iosefka A great relic, also known as the Cord of the Eye. Every infant Great One has this precursor to the umbilical cord. Provost Willem sought the Cord in order to elevate his being and thoughts to those of a Great One, by lining his brain with eyes. The only choice, he knew, if man were to ever match Their greatness. Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ In-Game Description (4) Mergo's Wet Nurse A great relic, also known as the Cord of the Eye. Every infant Great One has this precursor to the umbilical cord. Every Great One loses its child, and then yearns for a surrogate. This Cord granted Mensis audience with Mergo, but resulted in the stillbirth of their brains. Use to gain Insight and, so they say, eyes on the inside, although no one remembers what that truly entails. Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ Effects There are four versions of this item, and each one has a different description. In order to get the final ending, you must use (whenever) at least three of the four before speaking with Gehrman by the big tree in the Hunter's Dream at the end of the game. Remember: if you want to fight the true final boss, you need to acquire and use three of these in one playthrough. Gain +3 Insight when used. Insight is inhuman knowledge and represents your awareness of the nightmare's effects. In addition to its use as a currency at the insight shop and during multiplayer, acquiring more insight provides certain benefits but also poses a few risks. High levels of Insight will decrease your Beasthood stat, and while that does mean that you will fill the Beast Gauge faster, you won't be able to reach the later damage modifiers that come with a bigger gauge. Your Frenzy resistance is also heavily dependent on how much Insight you have, and the more you have the more susceptible you will be to getting Frenzied. Some enemies and aspects of the environment will also change at particular insight thresholds, such as the Church Servants in the Cathedral Ward gaining powered-up weapons and new attacks; with extremely high insight you'll also become able to see things during the day which would otherwise only be visible when the Blood Moon is out. Availability Impostor Iosefka Quest [x1]: kill Impostor Iosefka during the Blood Moon when she has gone insane. Arianna Quest [x1]: kill the Celestial Child after completing Arianna, Woman of Pleasure quest in Oedon Chapel Basement. Treasure in (Main Story): Abandoned Old Workshop; on altar inside the Workshop. If you need further assistance to find the cord, you can follow the full Abandoned Old Workshop Map. Dropped by (Main Story): Mergo's Wet Nurse in Nightmare of Mensis. Notes To trigger true final boss [Moon Presence] of Main Story you need to consume at least three of four Third Umbilical Cords before defeating [after refusing his offer] Gehrman by the big tree in the Hunter's Dream. In Lecture Building 2F | Room next to Nightmare of Mensis Door there is a note "Three third cords.", inspiring player to collect three cords for special ending. Third Umbilical Cords don't transfer into next New Game cycle. US and UK versions names are different, One Third of Umbilical Cord [US] and Third Umbilical Cord [UK].
