Basic Information

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

Invigorates the Watchers, making them more treacherous than normal, but also making them worthy prey for a special hunt. 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.

Rotted Offering

Beckons ungodly forces, normally terrifying things, but also worthy prey for a special hunt.

Description	Effects	Non-Hintertomb	Hintertomb
This rite triggers one of, or a combination of, the following difficulty-increasing effects: The Eye Collector appears and summons Mad Ones. Tomb Prospector Hunters often appear as enemies. The Labyrinth Ritekeeper appears. It will patrol large rooms, gather other enemies around it and then strengthen them. Even when the Ritekeeper is killed, the enemies will retain their powered-up status. It also increases the chance of getting very powerful Blood Gem effects, but this comes at the cost of strong negative effects. The chances are different in Hintertomb dungeons compared to other types, but in all cases the total chance adds up to 100%, so one of the effects is guaranteed to occur.	Eye Collector	16%	24%
	Tomb Prospectors	17%	13%
	Labyrinth Ritekeeper	17%	13%
	Eye Collector + Tomb Prospectors	17%	25%
	Eye Collector + Labyrinth Ritekeeper	17%	25%
	Tomb Prospectors + Labyrinth Ritekeeper	16%	0%

Cursed Offering

Defiles dungeons in which hunters' HP is greatly eroded, but what better place to seek cursed blood gems but in the midst of defilement? The Cursed Offering adds by far the most challenge, because in Cursed dungeons your HP is cut in half. Unless you have exceptionally high vitality this will make even the most basic enemies deadly, and forces a more careful approach. As with the other offerings, it does come with some real rewards, though; enemies defeated in Cursed dungeons give 20% more Blood Echoes and the items you'll find will be of higher rarity. Blood Gems you find will have a very high chance of having the 'Cursed' effect. Updated: The guest player's HP will drop to 50% instead of 65% in a Cursed Chalice Dungeon.

Sinister Bell

Summons the Sinister Resonant Bell. The bell-ringing woman appears to be a mad Pthumerian. Note: Additional rite Sinister Bell is for online use only. the bell-ringing woman does not appear offline. With this rite activated, the Bell Ringers appear frequently in the dungeon. As long as they are alive, competing players can enter the same layer, with the goal of killing you in order to earn Insight. If you're playing offline, this offering will cause the Bell Ringers to summon powerful NPC hunters instead of other players. Sinister Bell is only possible in dungeons created from the 'Sinister' Chalice type, so it can't be combined with other Additional Rites. It is the best way to play extended sessions of PvP and gain Insight, but it doesn't come with any rewards, such as higher drop rates.
