Caryll Runes | Bloodborne Wiki

"Come on Cohaagen, you got what you wanted. Give these people Heir!"

Submit

If it’s an enemy you have learned to parry well then heir rune will give more than moon runes for example early game I easily reached level 80+. Before shadows of yharnam by farming the moon executioner dude in the begging of forbidden woods and lets you farm decent early gems ended up getting 5000 - 9000 blood echoes each time. Which on first playthrough that early is pretty good.

Submit

The Moon runes stack! Go into the cummmfpk dungeon, light the lantern, take a few steps forward, you’ll see an enemy health bar draining to your left, when it dies you get 146,000 blood echoes. Bold hunters mark, repeat. 146,000 blood echoes every 30 seconds!

Submit

clawmark,blood rapture,hunter and guidance are my favorites

Submit

I love the communion best, not only for healing but extra bullets too. Gotta put that A Call Beyond I grinded 40 arcane for to good use.

Submit

formless oedon, communion and guidance

Submit

My Runesetup is always Clockwise, Anticlockwise and Great Lake. I like to have some defensive boosts with me. Covenant Rune is Corruption because of free Insight after a Hunter kill.

Submit

will elden ring's covenants act the same way bloodborne's do? i'd hate to have yet again all my characters in the same covenant just for the sake of faster stamina recovery

Submit

"On a theoretical physicist level, your character memorizes swift lines and fridge drawings created by gods for passive bonuses that works regardless of weaponry.
My favorites are more money, more money, and MORE MONEY- they stack."

Submit

When it comes to covenants

Submit

Really annoying that the runes aren’t in order lol

Submit

I would love to see this system improved upon in a possible Bloodborne sequel or successor

Submit

its sucks that they gave ps+ owners have easier time to get tier 3 runes than whom do not

Submit

To the guy asking about Willem rune drop, yes it drops every NG all the items respawn including runes / unique items in every NG + you will just end up with duplicates if not sold.

Submit

What if i killed Willem and take the top Eye rune, will he drop it again in the next ng IF i sold or discarded the Eye rune i took before?

Submit

Thanks Fromsoft for making the two PvP covenants beside HoH absolutely useless. Corruption rune - whether you have 5% HP or 12% means nothing in PvP, and also in PvE unless you're significantly overleveled in earlier game areas, but at that point nothing is even capable of getting your health so low anyway. The Radiance rune increases the HP healed by a whopping 12 points on 50 VIT. Not surprising that nobody uses them, as it's a good waste of a slot that's much better used on a nice stamina regeneration bonus or beast/kin cosplaying.

Submit

i *****ing hate dungeons lol. everytime i check this page for something im lookin for it turns out to be in depth 7473743839 layer 737482828447 nalabalabalabal. Is there a way to skip these painful amounts of dungeon runs

Submit

thanks

Submit

Thanks for the info, really helpful when designing new builds. One slight lore note, Iosefka isn’t the one you kill in the clinic. Iosefka drops her blood vial as kin. The rune is dropped by some member of the Choir (not sure if she’s named in game).

Submit

It's a shame that all the base-game Oath Runes (Corruption, Hunter, Impurity, Radiance) offer virtually non-existent benefits, especially given by what's required by the player in order to obtain them, and where they're obtained over the course of a play-through. Corruption regenerates 1 HP per second when below 12.5% max HP, virtually useless because nearly anything can kill you at that low HP. Hunter increases Stamina regeneration by 6%, which is marginal at best, given how fast Stamina regenerates already. Impurity increases a summon's max HP by 2%, again, an effectively non-existant benefit. Worst of all; Radiance increases HP restored from Blood Vials by "2%". The in-game description says "2%", but doesn't specify that it's actually a 2% multiplicative of the 40% that Blood Vials restore. So it's actually a 0.8% increase in how much HP is restored per Blood Vial. Which translates to a flat +12 HP restored per Blood Vial.

Submit

I'm kinda surprised there aren't any videos on YouTube that aren't just dedicated to showing where all the runes (and each version) are. Also, hello person who is reading this that might feel like they missed everything because they're looking at an "outdated" game. Don't feel bad! We're always here in spirit!

Submit

All Dungeon Chalice runes are locked away in root chalices. Are they guaranteed to spawn or are these random as well? I really don't feel like making multiple chalices to try and get these. Online play is not an option unfortunately.

Submit

I fought my way through most of the dungeons (loran & isz) I didn't get any runes yet! What am I doing wrong?

Submit

Thanks

Submit

Increase physical defense, increase all defense, increase hp, cainhurst armor, shield. "Who says you can't play as a knight in Bloodborne?"

Submit

Just gonna throw this statement out there since i hardly see any...."Thank you for all the easy glyph locations guys."

Submit

Best runes are: first place for Clockwise Metamorphosis and Anti-clockwise Metamorphosis in second place. Third could be Clawmark or Lake' runes family (Lake, Great Lake especially). The other are just situationals. If your temporary goal is farming, Moon and Heir are suited for it. If you fight a easy parryable boss (as Maria, Gehrman or Gascoigne), Blood Rapture and Oedon Writhe are good (in sinergy with Clawmark). If you wear clothes with high levels in beasthood, Beast is a plus. But, as I said, the Metamorphosis, the Lakes and Clawmarks are useful in each situations.

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. Enjoy! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O8N7xnoSS935oL6eqfqDngmK0bUqqYpy1Ytoc5_cwwQ

Is caryll a male or female and does any one have in game evidence??

Submit

Oedon Writhe is missing

Submit

same with moon rune.

Submit

Did anybody else receive the "Clawmark" rune from the beast the jumps out of a window in central yharnam.You know the window you talk to the guy with a flamesprayer.

Submit

Is it possible that runesmith Caryll is based on Carroll from H.P LoveCraft's book "At the Mountains of Madness" I haven't finished the book yet, but this is just a theory.

Submit

the moon rune description lists the Brain of Mensis as "mother brain". this should really be changed . people are looking for factual info not nicknames

Submit

The moon rune is so op.. Im blood lvl 150 and only just beat the one reborn on ng +, been using one at least one variation of it since I first found it on my first playthrough wish the silver serpent ring in dark souls did this much

Submit

Don't you get a rune by killing the NPC in the Cathedral Ward right next to the lamp?

Submit

Yuck! the best variants are in Root Chalices, i'll just Get Good instead

Submit

Would be nice if it had a rune that grants you with more blood resistence.

Submit

Is there any way to expand the amount of Caryll Runes you can use? Say from using 3 of the typical ones (not counting Covenant runes mind you) to maybe being able to use 4 or 5 of them at once? Just wanted to ask. Thanks in advance for the help. Much appreciation.

Submit

so when you get a rune and click "use" is the boost temporary or permanent? Like does it stay with me forever after I use it or only for a short time? Like idk the communion rune gives me a higher blood vial maximum, so does my maximum gets upgraded for the rest of the game or is it only for a limited amount of time?

Submit

How does that work? Do they have upgrades in the world? Is that what happens when you equip a rune in the blue slot?

Submit

So I sent the old lady to the cathedral ward. Then i sent the beggar (who semester to be eating corpses in the forbidden woods to the cathedral ward. He kille (suposedly) the lady and when attacked (hes passive and you can speak to him) Outside the ward, he turns into a huge beast that drops beast +50 upon death

Submit

Beast rune adds stats to TRANSFORM!?!?!

Submit

If you kill the priest/pope that's right before the Spider Boss in the Burgenworth he drops a Rune called Eye which, as the text description describes, lets you "Make additional discoveries." No idea what that means but I'm using it now.

Submit

Star increase discovery by 70, dropped by Npc in bygernwyth before spider boss(must kill npc)

Submit

from the hunter you kill at the last part of the eileen the crow questline

Submit

Someone with a better working knowledge of the wiki table format needs to re-sort these and organize the table, it looks really rough. They should at minimum be sorted according to the game's default order; i.e. Lake, Dissipating Lake, Fading Lake, Arcane Lake, Deep Sea, and so on...

Submit

found in high level chalice (first playthroug): great lake -> reduces all damage recieved by 3%.

Submit

i obtained a +3 version of this rune from killing the "helper" in Oedon chapel, cathedral ward

Submit

I found one in one of the large chests in a Depth three hintertomb chest.

Submit

I've counted about 7 in my inventory that didn't make the list, wish there was a complete list already, if you want to know which ones your're missing I will let ya know

Submit

I noticed that Odeon Writhe LVs weren't being noted here, so I added a note to differentiate between the two and how to acquire them. Does anyone know if there are any tiered runes? - PSN: NIKTENDO1

Submit

Found rune that can be obtained only from chalice dungeon. Layer 1. Follow sub door between chamber of seal lamp and layer 1 lamp. Pthumeru Ihyll chalice, glyph nmvnj2eg

Submit

You can get a claw mark from central yharnam. After defeating a boss (vicar amelia? ?) A small wherewolf will spawn next to the lantern and try to kill you

Submit

Any info about Great Deep Sea rune? Have done NG and NG+, still don't have this OP rune. More then 25% buff to all resistances? - Yes, please.

Submit

The rune that drops from Willem grants 70 item discovery and the one from the Nightmare Men's is grants 50.

Submit

The Arcane Lake rune that's 7% is found in Byrgenwerth, not in Yahar'gul, Unseen Village (nightmare version). I think you have those switched.

Submit

Can anyone confirm having a +2 version of this rune and where they got it? Contrary to the table above, the Chapel helper drops the +3 one, and there is no NPC in Iosefka's clinic that drops a rune of this type.

Submit

is there a rune that helps with health recovery?

Submit

Just found a 5% damage in a chalice dungeon, it is not on the list!

Submit

found in the cathedral ward going up the elevator half way up roll out when you see an opening to do so, there you will find yourself at the top of the ward where you will collect the odeon whrithe

Submit

someone had to have found it, which chalice dungeon

Submit

This list doesn't contain almost any of chalice dungeons runes. So here less then half runes of the game. Every rune has top tier version with star in the middle and saturated colours, just version with saturated colours and grey version(low quality version). But some of runes can have up to 5 versions, like communion 1-5 and Formless oedon 1-5.

Submit

cannot find Great Lake +3% in Hemwick Charnel Lane, only Lake can be found, so where is the Great Lake +3%

Submit

i found a rune great deep sea which add all type of res +50 in hintertomb

Submit

How much does this rune increase recovered HP? I didn't notice any changes (though they could be slightest)

Submit

Is there a rune that increases Arcane damage output? I don't see one on the list and wondered if anybody has seen one.

Submit

since i haven't seen anything to clarify, can i equip multiple runes of the same strength (e.g. 3 strong clockwise metamorphosis runes as opposed to 1 weak 1 normal and 1 strong clockwise metaphorsis runes)

Submit

I can confirm that several runes (those not found in the main game) are among the random treasure generated in root chalice dungeons, where they appear is dependent on the depth of the dungeon and their strength where; low strength rune = layer 3, medium strength = layer 4 and high strength rune = layer 5. These chalice runes also seem to appear quite often but only one per floor (generated dungeon?) and can be missed by the player just as often, remember to fully explore the dungeons and check for fake wall by hitting walls with no tree roots inside rooms. I can't currently confirm if offerings affect rune appearance. Also I can't confirm if some of the runes are in the normal chalice dungeons or are root chalice dungeon only. I can also corroborate the existence of the runes: -arcane, fire and electric damage reducing runes have a 5%, 7% and 10% level of strength each. Fount the electric and fire 7% runes in root chalise dungeons. -all damage down 3% exists and is among the layer 3 root dungeon runes. -slow poison, fast poison and frenzy have a +100, +200 and +300 iterations. found those not in the main game in chalise dungeons.

Submit

This needs confirmation yet??? "Make sure to get all runes possible in your first play-through. Any rune not obtained in new game, becomes insight in new game +." The runes of the chalice not obtained disappear too????

Submit

Found the great lake 5% reduced damage taken in Great ISZ root chalice (foetid, rotten and cursed). It was in the sarcofaghus after the 2nd boss, i believe layer 3

Submit

the last bullet point at the top simply isn't true. i have all three moon runes equipped right now. like a boss

Submit

None of the oath runes are working for me. Is it a bug? They show no effect, and even the stat page doesn't list the effects.

Submit

Got Fading Lake from chalice and it's only 7%, not 10% like listed above

Submit

Dunno how to add them with proper formatting. I tried to add a row but it *****ed up the headers so w/e. Can someone else do it? -Great Deep Sea (Add all types of RES +50): not sure where I found this -Formless Oedon (Max QS Bullets +2): not sure where either -Blood Rapture (V.ATKs restore HP +250): Just found this recently in a chalice dungeon

Submit

Huh strange.... just found a Formless Oedon Rune which gives Max QS bullets held up+2 in the foetid version of Lower Pthumeru Root Chalice in a Layer 4 sarcophagus, find it rather strange that in a depth 3 chalice dungeon i find the weakest version of a rune. Did I overlook something or would that one not be listed yet? Perhaps there are other weaker versions of runes which aren't listed yet?

Submit

+50 all RES Rune found in Fetid Lower Hintertomb. Glyph kbzmr4m4

Submit

that you get those oath runes from npc quest I killed all my npc's...Well it was worth it

Submit

Can someone edit and update the rune? I got it from killing Gascoigne's daughter after I sent her to Iosefka's Clinic by not giving her the Red Jeweled Brooch. You need to do the earily exploit, kill the fake Iosefka who stands on the clinic bed and get One Third of Umbilical Cord in order to make Gascoigne's daughter reaching the clinic alive.

Submit

so i just killed the shadow of yharnam and the blood rapture rune isn't there, isn't in my inventory, or in the hunter's dream. am i screwed?

Submit

I ran some testing to find what each rune gives, the lowest gives +30% and the middle gives +40%. I haven't found the third but I'd assume it's +50%.

Submit

Found great lake rune (+3%) in sinister Hintertomb

Submit

Found a stunning deep sea rune of +300 in Lower Loran. will provide glyph later

Submit

Found Beast (+100) in Sinister Lower Ailing Loran Root Chalice

Submit

its by a ledge where all the old ladies are go through the gate where the executioners stalk about keep walking forward there be 4-5 dogs with one hag and by the ledge it there i just picked it up 15 min ago

Submit

I'm 90% sure you get the rune from sending the little girl / Gascoigne's daughter to the clinic instead of choosing either of the other options. Confirmation from other sources would be appreciated.
