Blood Gems | Bloodborne Wiki

I'm convinced there is a secret hidden "luck" stat in this game and when you create a new character you're randomly assigned some luck. I've created loads of different characters over the years and some gave good drops, others very poor drops. There's no proof of course, just my own feelings and experiences from 1,600+ hours of play.

Honestly... so much cool variety but the attack boost gems are just the objectively best most of the time. What the hell Fromsoft... Correct me if I'm wrong because I want to be.

Submit

I have a physical 40.5% blood gem but my 22.3% blood gem is better why

Submit

Which one do you think tastes the best

Submit

Man I hope that if there’s a blood born 2 I REALLY hope these things aren’t tired to rng drops again. Make them rewards for dungeons in a guaranteed form

Submit

Would It be dumb to ONLY use cursed gems? (Only stamina curse ones) Or use a mix of basic & cursed gems?

Submit

I wish you could organize more the gems in you inventory, its such a mess after a while

Submit

Quick question: if I use a gem that converst phisical damage to elemental and only gives the weapon arc scaling, would putting a heavy or sharp gem on it as well make it scale with both arc and str/sex?

Submit

The 2nd reason of pvp being almost non-existant. The 1rst being the stupid bells.

Submit

Honestly if youre looking to get your damage up, but not willing to go through extreme chalice hunting, i recommend getting the 22% Droplets from the Winter-Lanterns lurking below the Old Hunters lighthouse. getting 7 droplets at around 22% with stamina curse to fully kit out 2 entire melee weapons and a firearm regardless of gem shapes is much more appealing to me personally. yes i miss out on 15% or so total damage compared to perfect 27% gems...but it takes a fraction of the grinding effort.

I found a farming spot for 25% radial gems 4aia3j3v Rotted,cursed,fetid Pthumeru Ihyll root chalice, head out to the left after the layer 1 lamp and enter the second door to the left, up the stairs there will be the lever and a fat one, kill it and it will drop it (sorry for bad english)

Submit

What is the inventory limit for blood gems? It seems to be insanely high.

Submit

Where could i find good bloodtinge+skill gems?

Submit

does anyone know any good false depth dungeons that are good to farm???

Submit

Sell thoses you don't need if your inventory is madness. Stunning Eyes Rune help ennemies to drop them more often just saying.

Submit

Way better system than titanite infusions. I just wish the inventory menu wasn't so archaic because i have way too many cursed gems and scrolling through takes forever

Submit

I managed to get a cursed fire blood gemstone to drop in the pthemeru root chalice. No rights active.

Submit

Why isn't the Cursed Pulsing (regen) Radial in this list? I didn't even know what dropped one when i saw it in my inventory, and now i want another and idk where to go.... and yes it's a radial with 5 hp regen, not a circle off the walking ritual master...

Submit

Is Winter Lantern the best way to farm Blood Gem without going to Chalice Dungeon?

Submit

I've just got a Tempering Abyssal Blood Gem (non cursed, rating 20) which is missing in this list. Dropped by final boss in Pthumeru Ihhyl Root with foetid and rotten offerings.

Submit

Someone please tell me the difference in "tier" and "rating" when it comes to this wiki. Ex. Says I can find tier 6-7 fire blood gems from beasts in frontier but I'm only finding (2)'s but rating says 6 or 7. is tier the same thing as rating or what???

Submit

I scoured all three Bloodborne wikis as well as Reddit for glyphs and the details about those glyphs. Then I checked every single one of them to see if they were still active, some of them twice just to make sure they were really dead. This is what I came up with; the fastest paths to all the Runes and Lost / Uncanny weapons as well as all the gem farming glyphs that are still active.

What if u put two elemental gem types on a weapon and the weapon was t converted to an arcane scaling weapon.But is still able to do the % elemental damage from the gem.Ex:add atk%+add fire atk along with add atk%a long with add bolt atk.Do they cancel out or do u do both damage?

Submit

For anyone who is wondering, you can get a cursed cold abyssal blood gem (65+ arcane scaling) from the last boss (pthumeru elder) from this chalice: 6fsa5tyt.

Submit

you get the gold blood gem for selecting the "use" over Vicar Amelia after she drops her gold pendant.

Submit

The shark Giants from the DLC routinely drop damp bloodtinge gems of a relatively high level (+14-22% blood atk up, +5-10 flat blood atk) and even some tempering damp bloodtinge gems rarely (+8-14% physical atk, +8-14% blood atk up)

Submit

There's one kind of Bloodgem missing from this list. I got a pulsating bloodgem from a random Bagman in the Lower Pthumeru Chalice once. I dont know any locations besides that but surely someone else has encountered them? Their effect seems to solely be HP regen.

Submit

Common locations (for Chalice farming)
Radial Gems: Pthumeru
Triangular Gems: Isz
Waning Gems: Loran
Circular Gems: Bloodlickers (Visceral attack everything, revisit rooms for decent chances of encounter.)
Additionally I recommend Root chalice diving due to high chances for ornate doors. (which lead to mini-bosses & gold coffins)

Outside of chalices it is also possible to find gems that are dependent on the enemies they drop from. (For example snakes in the garden er-forest I mean drop gems with slow poison buildup. )

Submit

I have once looted a bloodtinge bloodgem as a random drop from a cloacked beast in old Yharnam

Submit

For farming the Watchers, If you're not that great at visceral attacking (like me), Amygdalan Arm charged transformed attack pancakes them and has high range. Makes it an easy fight...space, pancake, dodge...repeat

Submit

I've noticed the 'Damp' prefix on some blood gems. I get the feeling that it just means that they're more powerful than 'dry' blood gems, but I don't know for sure. Can someone explain?

Submit

what do you do with the unwanted blood gems?

Submit

You can get the gold blood gem by defeating Vicar Amelia and using the gold pendant.

Submit

Is it me or does the Orphan of Kos's strange weapon thing almost look similar to a giant Waning Blood Gem?

Submit

I don't know if this was already said, or if this information is even helpful, but I got a Tempering Blood Gemstone from fighting the Executioner in Central Yharnam. It's random as far as I know since I was just getting Blood vials beforehand, but I got it before fighting Father Gascoigne.

Submit

Don't worry. I will change the blood gems back to english. :D

Submit

Whoever did the Radials in spanish, your a waste of space and time.

Submit

am i the only one who sees the radial gems in spanish

Submit

I think you get strength gems for bloodstarved beast. Can anyone confirm?

Submit

It would appear that the Hunter Enemies( Beastcutter variant at least) in Hunter's Nightmare drop some nice radial blood gems. I got my Chikage outfitted almost entirely thanks to this.

Submit

I have radial bolt gems on another character, but I cant remember how to get them. Any Ideas?

Submit

I actually have a Tempering Circle Gem with 8.8% Phys and 11.3% Blood Atk up. I just don't know where I got it.

Submit

at higher chalice maps, you got very powerfull gems. I got level (5) - (6) gems with a evaluation of 17 - 19 at defiled pthumeru and lower loran.

Submit

it appears that bloodgems are not consumed when placed in a slot ands can be easily added and removed at the workbench.

Submit

Does adding a gem that gives a weapon elemental damage negate the physical scaling of the weapon or just split the damage and make it scale with Arcane as well? I'm seeing different opinions about this and no one seems to have talked about it or added info on it here yet.

Submit

I put a slow poison in my weapon but i cant push the poison to any enemy. Why? (sorry for my english)

Submit

I noticed there is a gem type for every sub category except for bolt. Is it simply not been found, or does it not exist period. Also is there locations for these.. or is it random? My friends and I have got the same items off static chests (dead bodies) but I could see it being different on monster drops.

Submit

sometimes the endbosses of a depth 5 dungeon dropping a level 20 gem which have 2 primary effects. A level 20 radial gem has always physical atk up by % + an another effect like physical atk up by absolute number.

Submit

If someone's interested i got it with a tempering damp bloodgem (5)

Submit

Can any1 tell me if there are blood gems for dealing bleed or frenzy damage and any possible locations if so please please please.....

Submit

I got one of these from the chevaliers in the Cainhurst Castle.

Submit

I was wondering if I put two of the same gems on, ATK vs the Kin for instance, will the two equipped gem effects stack for higher damage?

Submit

i run a anti beast and anti human saw cleaver, using high level bloodgems +23,x% physical vs. reduced beast/human damage. both weapons have ~ 700 AR without weaponbuff. due to its moveset, attack speed and poise damage, its the strongest one hand weapon for pve in my opinion.

Submit

Does any body know where I can find a blood gem that adds arcane damage?

Submit

farming The brain guys at nightmare of mensis 2nd bonfire gives regular and or cursed droplet blood gems. droplet gems are the best since u can place them into any gem slot and they have really high stats on em. (ex. got a 19.8% attk up with a 2.7% stam increase) the dropped gems are purely random and can range from elemental, status effects and dmg.

Submit

Don't know if this is a bug or not, but I've noticed 2 types of gems with elemental types: 1 that "ADDS" elemental damage and another that "UPS" elemental damage (by percentage I believe). But when messing with the gems that "add," they instead completely replace physical damage (just like like the gems that "UP" damage) to that element EXCEPT any weapon that already has an elemental damage such as Logarius Wheel or Tonitrus--I actually could 'add' fire to this weapon according to the stats without replacing bolt :P Anyways, I believe the gems that are suppose to "ADD" elements should do just that...add along side physical damage. When I "add bolt ATK +12" to Holy Blade, stats completely change from: Physical ATK = 0.......Bolt = 190. But when I add to Logarious Wheel, I get: Physical ATK = 200 +194.........Bolt ATK = 12. Anyways, figured I would post this. Don't know if anybody has further tested this and know if it's bugged or not.

Submit

I'm just looking to see If I can put one on my rapier.

Submit

Just got this a few minutes ago from the Pthumeru Ihyll Root Chalice after beating the last boss which was a Bloodletting Beast and it's a Rating 20 Radial Blood Gem. Gave Physical AT UP +15.8% and WPN durability UP +5.6. Judging from the way gems are named, I'd guess that almost if not all Rating 20 gems will be Abyssal gems. Description: "A blood gem that fortifies weapons and adds various properties. Abyssal blood gems are eldritch gems with a dim radiance that only grow deep inside the labyrinth. Most radial blood gems have effects that bear upon physical attacks."

Submit

you can get them from the fire ball throwing witches from dungeon chalices.

Submit

I have one fire moon formed bloodgem with 2 effects FIRE attack 14.2 THUNDER attack 12.5 Which element is now

I've almost completed NG+ but the highest blood gem level I've got is 5. How am I supposed to find one that is level 15+? The chalice dungeons?

Submit

Where do i find gemstones that helps with healing ?

Submit

i picked one of these up for the first time and have never gotten one before after having many hours into multiple characters. unfortunately i wasn't paying attention from what enemy it dropped. anyone who has gotten one know from where (outside of chalices...chalices drop everything so that is redundant to say)

Submit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rky6pyFa0hU came across this, looks decent

Submit

Where's the best place to farm good radial gems? All the ones I have are rather weak and I'm nearing the endgame.

Submit

I don't have or seen any

Submit

From what I've seen so far, each of the 4 chalices give a specific shape of blood gem within their dungeons and with higher rating (better quality) further down the depth. Pthumeru: Radial Hintertomb: Circle Loran: Waning Isz: Triangular It would be great if this can be confirmed, as Hintertomb's max 3 depth doesn't look well for circle (left weapon) gems. As a side note, I'm definitely gonna go to first Isz dungeon for any future arcane builds first thing.

Submit

Can i sell bloodgems that are useless to me ? i have to many, makes scrolling a pain. there is no other use for bloodgems, right ?

Submit

I have Cursed Odd Bolt Damp Blood Gem at Radial form

Submit

Got a warm blood gemstone (circle) from those lickers from the chalice dungeon pthumeru

Submit

I got it from lower hintertomb with fetid and rotted after beating the blood starved beast

Submit

Anyone know where I can find the high level odd bloodtinge gems? According to the collectors edition strategy guide I downloaded from here http://bit.ly/1bOeIEn it's possible to get hold of odd bloodtinge gems that add 93.8 flat dmg to your gun, but I've been farming chalice BSB for hours and he only ever drops the percent ones. Anyone manage to get hold of one yet??

Submit

Long story short I got this burial blade that I hooked up some gems that add flat damage of fire and bolt to it so it covers all elements, so my question is will having too many damage types negate the other damage types in a weapon, or just all add up?

Submit

Here is a rough guide on which chalice dungeon bosses drop which kinds of gems. By no means is this a conclusive list, but it does offer a decent insight on how to get the higher level gems. Layer 3 and 4 bosses are the only way to obtain Abyssal (Rating 20 gems), but they honestly are not worth the effort involved. I kept it as short as possible so acronyms such as "Bsb = Bloodstarved Beast". Shouldn't be too hard to follow.

Is it safe to assume that the form of a gem is determined by chalice type? Because I think in Loran dungeons I only ever received waning, in Hintertomb I received an awful lot of triangular, Isz drops lots of triangulars too. Radials seem to come from Pthumerian. It might be confirmation bias... can anyone confirm/deny?

Submit

Bloodstarved beast with a head give them. The BSB with the worm gives heavy abyssal gems. You can loot radiant or waning form. The drop rate of abyssal gems is 33% in my experience. I got 12 abyssal gems in something like 30 th donjons. 42t2cns6 : L1Boar L2 Giant L3 BSB (head version)

To having sharp and heavy blood gems? It just seems like everything else will always out do them.

Submit

the odd or "+xx.x " blood gems, as far as guns go, are better for the "shotgun" weapons.... at least i think so.. adding 20 points to each "pellet" or whatevs.. better than 20% of 40, yeah?

What does this do to the gem?

When you put a gem that increases stamina cost it will increase the cost of stamina for run and side step as well regardless where its alocated.

Just got a bloodtinge gemstone off of an enemy in the old hunters dlc. I've been looking on the web to see where I could farm more but seems like they're very rare seeing as this site doesn't even have it. So I'm just letting people know they're out there. I'd add a picture of the gem description but I don't know how to, so this will have to do. Name: Damp Bloodtinge Gem (5) Rating: 16 Shape: Waning Effects: Blood ATK up +16.4%, add blood ATK +6.3
