Beast's Embrace | Bloodborne Wiki

Got invaded in Mensis by someone using this + beast claws, I have never been shredded so fast

Submit

Thought this would turn me into a furry instead it just gave me gigantic amounts of body hair

Submit

Use the harrowed pants for this if you don't care about stats and just want to look like a beast that ripped through their clothes

Submit

Turned Living Failures into a 1v1

Submit

I hoped we would get a more cleric beast or wolflike head... The moveset and gameplay is super fun but the face looks more like a crack addict than an actual beast.

Submit

Dark Souls allows you to transform into a humanoid dragon. Meanwhile, Bloodborne turns you into a beast man. And a mushroom.

Submit

I wish it made you look more like the cleric beast by changing the face a little more.

Submit

Sidestep/backstop is farther but more delay as far as I know

Submit

Abhorrent my arse. I think I look quite handsome.

Submit

every beast has its claw, but not every claw has its beast...

Submit

Looking closer, doesn't this rune look a little like the Living String? In fact, if you zoom in on Living String, you can see that inside the jar, the string branches out similarly to the rune's "claw."

Also kind of peculiar how this rune was originally called "Embrace," and symbolized the foray into blood healing; the Living String is mandatory in order to access Great Pthumeru Ihyll, where Queen Yharnam resides. Naturally, blood healing began with the discovery of old blood and the "holy medium" within the tomb, likely referring to Yharnam and/or Mergo. Similarly to the rune itself, old blood failed in its intended purpose of eradicating beasthood, but instead resulted in the beast scourge...

Submit

Players with this should be affected by Beast UP and serrated weapons, but not by beast DOWN, that would be to op. Would have fit the theme better, and would have balanced out giving innate beasthood to all weapons

Submit

It looks vaguely like Baoh from Baoh: The Visitor

Submit

I've noticed in certain situations having this active can inflict the status ailment: Framerate DOWN

Submit

It’s a shame it doesn’t turn you into a mini cleric beast with horns and the shrieks.

Submit

If it were Ea or Activision, they would sell this feature as a single dlc. Never change From

Submit

"especially while wielding a beast weapon." 'A'beast weapon. Implying beast claws weren't there only intended ones. I bet beast weapon was planned tobanother 'hidden' damage bonus like serrated and righteous.

Submit

ofc....so much endgear equipment just lies around in the DLC....but for this we have to kill Laurence. The living furnace... fuc* my life.

Submit

Does it bug anyone else that tops which show skin fail to recolor to the gray skin tone? Wearing something like Madman's robe or Beast Hide garb makes it look like you're wearing a cheap Halloween mask. They did it for the pants, just not the shirts. So you have to create a character with gray skin if you want full fashion potential.

Submit

fun tip. noticed when trying to be cool, that doing the forward R2 attack over and edge can deal extra damage. it doesn't launched you through the air as you might think, but try to think of it more as an advanced plunging attack. it can hit multiple times and works especially well on large enemies where you can hit them even more times.

Submit

I couldn't help but laugh when I was using this rune with beast claw, killing the Ashen Hunter. As he died he said "you're the beast". I do feel this is stronger than using milkweed with Kos Parasite, that moveset is slow and it is very difficult to grind for decent arcane gems - especially at level 20

Submit

Does the form look different for female characters?

Submit

To get the maximum beasthood meter, use the Brador's Set, but use the Ashen Hunter chest piece. It has higher beasthood than the Beast Hide.

Submit

I think there was a huge missed opportunity with the design aspect of this rune. The character looks pretty sweet, which is why I use this rune above the others, despite not even using the beast claw's too much. With that said, how badass would it have been if, say, while using the beast claws, the character would sprint on all fours to further imply that you've transformed? What about innately slouching forward while the player is idle? Also, why does beasthood increase only when used with the claws? It should be a constant benefit (or disadvantage) having the beasthood meter rise while doing damage, with any weapon. I think there should've been an additional effect once the beasthood meters fills up completely, maybe some strong, red glowing eyes? A more noticable, more convincing aura around the character? I don't know. The character looks cool, don't get me wrong, but it could've been so much better.

Submit

When I'm in beast form things seem to one hit me :c

Submit

Does anything look good with this rune equipped....?

Submit

Who do you think would win in a fight? beasthood or kinship? Both have maximum stats.in this scenario.

Submit

I guess father gascoigne was right about us "being one of them, sooner or later"

Submit

personally when i look at the ghastly beast, it makes me think of a younger Cleric Beast. it is almost as if u r a premature Cleric beast.

Submit

Not gonna lie, but the way the hair looks in the first pic resembles Goku's SSJ 3 hair...

Submit

If no one has noticed yet, you can backstab enemies by using the jump attack on their back. Has anyone found if there's a new way to parry with beast's embrace yet?

Submit

How does the L2 roar work? I've tried using it like Beast Roar at the end of a R1 combo, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Does it just block projectiles?

Submit

When i got this rune and used it a bit with the Beast Claws I realized thaz it gives the Claws a permanent beathood meter in both forms transformed and untranformed. Maybe someone can add that

Submit

The ultimate fursuiter

Submit

Is there any effects other than changing one's appearance and the beast claws moveset? Like an increase of taking damage to fire? I've also noticed my dodges on a certain boss in my playthrough have been more on point with this rune on as opposed to without it. Could there be more i-frames or it could just be all in my head from a placebo effect of transforming into a beast finally. :) Sorry for the double post thought the reply was the discussion box...

Submit

Is there any particular rewards for this covenant, in PvP ? Or is it just pure fashion with a nice add of gameplay ?

Submit

...reminds me of Ergo Proxy's mask.

Submit

the long ive used this i started to realize it kinda makes your character look like a small cleric beast crossed with a small abhorrent beast

Submit

It seems that the Beast`s Embrace also reduces your fall damage. Atleast I took only like 10-15% damage jumping down to the old Workshop.

Submit

there's no proof there's any 'covenant' called 'The Blood Beast'. Until someone posts an image source, or verifiable source can we avoid making up covenant names and confusing players? It's bad form to post to a wiki without factual information. Maybe the Future Press guide will explain it better, but please no more guessing.

Submit

Is there any video evidence of the "vs Beast" damage modifier doing anything to someone wearing this rune? I saw one video by a forum user that showed using "vs beast damage down" bloodgems didn't affect it at all. Stat pages also don't point to a change in fire resist.

Submit

Seriously. It takes longer to actually go off and when it does, it just staggers them a little. Like if they were hit by a simple r1 swipe. The reason the item beast roar is so good is that it actually knocks them down so you can regain your stamina. All it does is take away our good old L@ that was so great at building the meter up... bleh.

Submit

Has anybody tried entering old Yharnam with this rune equipped? Does Djura have any kind of Reaction to it?

Submit

I was hoping this would make a beasthood build that wasn't dependent on constantly choking down blood pellets, but no matter what I try I still don't have a beasthood meter with anything other than the beast claw (which has it already.) Seems like a bit of a waste...

Submit

You take wayy more damage, tested it out with my friends new character that is lvl 50 and almost killed me in 3 or 4 hits ad my character is at lvl 253 then we tried it without and she could barely make a dent in my health. The same also goes for enemies they do a hell of a lot more damage too.

Submit

For the final cutscene, I know it will show whatever helmet you have equipped but does it show the effect of the Beast's Embrace?

Submit

Does this rune have any conflicting covenants?

Submit

Something not mentioned in the wiki is that with the rune on there is a transformation attack from 1 hand to 2 hand. It does not have that with out the rune on.

Submit

This rune+all three Beast Runes+maxed Beast Claw=Fun and lots of it. Weapon is pretty speedy making it easy to stunlock enemies. In most falls you take no damage. The claws can be enchanted, too.

Submit

Fighting a Beast's Embrace hunter: oh god no, the stunlock beastblood is real! Fighting a Milkweed hunter: hahahahahaha wait that flailing dancing lunatic just killed me?

Submit

When you do a leap attack, you can change your direction at the top of your jump.

Submit

As I do not have the dlc and thus no manner to know myself, is the hair color of this beast form affected by your characters hair or is it always that muddy look?

Submit

Would this rune have any negative effects, like weakness to fire, or more damage from things that increase damage to beasts?

Submit

It seems that when you have high insight the eyes in beast mode turn from red to Blue.

Submit

What if you were to use the Beast Hide Set with this? Beast Claws, Beast Hide Set, and Beast's Embrace

Submit

Did some cleanup duty, and with the changes I made to the Beast Claw page, I think this page will see some revisions in the future.

One thing I wish I could verify was whether or not a certain amount of insight would change the eyes to a blue color (like the ones found in the Upper Cathedral Ward). This would be a cool easter egg.

It would be nice if people would test things before posting a bunch of bull***** on the wiki. People use this as a resource, and that kinda flies out the window if you just ASSUME ***** and put it on the page.

Thanks,
