Caryll Rune

In-Game Description

    A Caryll rune envisioned by Adeline, patient of the research
    hall.

    A transcription of the inhuman, sticky whispers that reveal
    the nature of a celestial attendant.

    Those who take this oath become a lumenwood that peers
    towards the sky, feeding phantasms in its luscious bed.
    Phantasms guide us and lead us to further discoveries.
Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓
Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓

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

  • Equipping this rune will cause your character to take on the unique appearance of a lumenwood, overwriting your existing character's facial features, head and hand attire. Once you're in this state you'll be able to tap into the hidden powers of the otherwise unimpressive Kos Parasite weapon, unlocking its full potential. As an added benefit you'll also gain a small increase to item discovery. Character's dodge animation also change to fit new lumenwood form. Obtaining this rune will mean aiding Adeline in the Research Hall, because only once you have given her three of the Brain Fluids she wants will she hand the rune over to you.
  • Get Accursed Brew: If you talk to the Fishing Hamlet Priest while you have the Milkweed Caryll Rune equipped, he will react to your Lumenwood appearance and speak to you differently. At the end of that dialogue he will give you the Accursed Brew.

Availability

  • Acquired from (Old Hunters DLC): Adeline, Research Hall Patient, you need to give her 3 Brain Fluids in the Research Halls. All three can be found in the Research Hall.


Notes

  • This Item is part of The Old Hunters DLC
  • Video: Bloodborne The Old Hunters - How to get "Milkweed" Rune + All 3 Brain Fluid Locations by tassssssssss
  • Equipping this Oath Rune will not make you vulnerable to Kinhunter effect of blood gems or benefit from curse effect that reduces damage against kin.
  • Current hypothesis is that Item Discovery may simply alter the loot tables of SOME enemies given certain minimum thresholds are met. More on Runes and Item Discovery research here: [Reddit] More Than Meets The Eye (Rune) and another study Bloodgem Rating and Discovery conducted by Lake of Mud.
  • An undocumented feature of Bloodborne's Chalice Dungeons is that the Curse rite applies an invisible modifier to the player character's Discovery. More information on Item Discovery in Chalice Dungeons wiki page.

Movement iFrames Roll Cancel Hyper Armor Notes
Standard
  • Roll Cancel: Roll cancel is the moment of the table that allows you to cancel the current animation into backstep, rolls or dashes.

  • Hyper Armor: It's a hidden statistic that prevents character from flinching or stumbling.

  • Bloodborne & Dark Souls 3 comparison:

  • DkS3 fast roll = 13 iframes, 21 frames roll cancel, (16 iframes bloodring)

  • DkS3 med roll = 13 iframes, 21 frames roll cancel, 12-20 frames hyper armor, (16 iframes bloodring)

  • DkS3 fat roll = 12 iframes, 28 frames roll cancel, 12-25 frames hyper armor, (15 iframes bloodring)

  • Consecutive BB forward dashes are 3 frames faster than DkS3 rolls. Consecutive BB bone forward dashes are 5 frames faster than DkS3 rolls. Both dashes have 2 frames and 5 frames less i-frames respectively than DkS3 rolls.
