Caryll Rune

In-Game Description

    A Carryl rune that transcribes inhuman sounds.
    This rune, discovered inside the forbidden beast eater, came
    to symbolize "Impurity," and the oath of the League.

    Confederates of The League cooperate with hunters from
    other worlds, and hunt to discover vermin.

    Vermin writhe within filth, and are the root of man's
    impurity. Crush all vermin without hesitation.
Note: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓

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

  • To obtain the Impurity rune you'll need to travel to the Forbidden Woods Lamp and enter the small windmill building nearby, where Valtr, Master of the League now resides. Once there, speak with him and agree to join the League to receive the rune. Equipping the rune has the added benefit of giving you an extra 2% HP during any coop session, but the main reason to equip it is so that you're identified as a Confederate of the League during coop and as such successful co-op session when this oath rune is equipped will reward you with vermin which can be crushed for ranking up at League's leaderboard.
  • Testing HP boost effect: Cooping within the Blood Level range in the main game and Chalice Dungeons with 50 VIT (1500 HP), during coop you have 1050 HP without and 1071 HP with Impurity oath rune equipped, it is exactly 2% boost of max HP during cooperation. Impurity has no effect on the HP when you get summoned into the Chalice Dungeon with Cursed rite, during the testing both cases with and without the rune had the same value of 750 HP.
  • With patch v1.07 a wide variety of new and existing NPCs have been added to the main game, the Old Hunters areas and the Chalice Dungeons to aid you during the hunt, particularly during boss fights. The conditions for summoning these allies vary; the “Old Hunter Bell” is a universal requirement for calling any of them, but you must also equip the "Impurity" rune in order to summon League Confederates. In certain cases you must begin or complete specific quests before summoning a particular character, such as Henryk and Valtr; in others you will lose your opportunity to summon the NPCs in question if you've already killed them, such as the younger Madaras twin. In some areas you may be able to summon up to two NPC Hunters.
