Arcane Lake | Bloodborne Wiki

Arcane Lake
A secret symbol left by Caryll, runesmith of Byrgenwerth. This transcription of the Great Ones' inhuman voices ripples like a watery reflection. This rune means "Lake", and those branded by it enjoy augmented defense. Great volumes of water serve as a bulwark guarding sleep, and an augur of the eldritch Truth. Overcome this hindrance, and seek what is yours.

Arcane Lake is a Caryll Rune in Bloodborne.
