Twin Blood Stone Shards ❘ 血石の二欠片

Upgrade Material

In-Game Description

    A solid shard that forms in coldblood.

    After death, a substance in the blood hardens, and that
    which does not crystalize is called a bloodstone.

    At the workshop, these bloodstones are embedded in
    weapons to fortify them.
Note: Different in-game description (right) in US (1) & UK (2) versions (more). ✕

Overview

  • Twin Blood Stone Shards are the material you'll need to fortify weapons up to +6, which you should start working towards after getting through the first couple of areas in the game. The earliest point you can reliably pick up some of these items is in Hemwick Charnel Lane, and then you'll be able to find an abundance of them in the Forbidden Woods. If you obtain the Cosmic Eye Watcher Badge this item will be added to the Bath Messenger's shop inventory at a cost of 10,000 Blood Echoes each, and once you've progressed far enough to advance the time to Blood Moon, you'll also be able to get them from the Insight Trade for 2 Insight.
  • The Large Huntsmen and Church Giants in the Forbidden Woods have a good chance to drop them when killed, but you may also want to seek out the Lost Children of Antiquity in Forsaken Cainhurst Castle (or Kidnappers, especially those found in Chalice Dungeons), as they have higher drop rates. Alternatively, if you're venturing into depth 2-3 Chalice Dungeons, you may also get one of these as a drop from the bosses you defeat there. You'll be able to buy them from the Insight shop before you can get them from the Bath Messengers.

Blood Stones: Drop Pools

  • For the most part, items dropped by enemies are decided simply by a random percent 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 Blood Stone Shard in the Depth 1 Pthumerian Root Labyrinth, but would drop a Blood Stone Chunk instead in a Depth 5 Pthumeru Ihyll dungeon.
