Guidance


A Caryll rune discovered by the old hunter Ludwig along with the Holy Moonlight Sword.
Boosts amount of life recovered by rallying.

When Ludwig closed his eyes, he saw darkness, or perhaps nothingness,
and that is where he discovered the tiny beings of light.
Ludwig was certain that these playful dancing sprites offered "guidance"
They could empty Ludwig of his fears at least in the midst of a hunt.

Guidance is a Caryll Rune in Bloodborne. It is part of The Old Hunters DLC

 

Guidance Effects

  • Boost rally potential by +10%, +20% and +30%*

 

Location

  • 10% Dropped by Carrion Crow on top floors of Research Hall
    • Once you raise the stairs and gain access to the very top part of the rafters, there will be a single crow on a ledge, with its back turned to you, close to the windows. It will drop down as you approach, seemingly escaping, to the platform below with the Enlarged Head NPC and two other crows.
    • This rune is the only rune in the game that drops more than once in each subsequent playthrough. In each new game, the crow will drop the same rune.
  • 20% Dropped by Ludwig, The Holy Blade
  • 30% "Code for the 3rd Tier Guidance Rune exists in the game but that it has no drop table" = not obtainable. 

 

Notes

  • To memorize this rune, you must have the Rune Workshop Tool.
  • *The term "rally potential" is confusing; this rune boosts the amount of health recovered per hit on a rally, not the total "rallyable" health (the orange section after taking damage) or the uptime of rally.
  • A third guidance rune does exist (30%) in depth 5 root dungeons as listed in the dlc game guide, but no one has managed to discover it as of yet.
  • Lore theories can be found under Ebrietas Lore and The Fool.

      The rune itself looks like a Coldblood flower. Considering what became of Ludwig's "honorable spartans" and their research, it could be some form of foreshadowing.

        "When Ludwig closed his eyes, he saw darkness, or perhaps nothingness,
        and that is where he discovered the tiny beings of light"

        In most cases, light phenomena such as lightning are caused by mechanical effects on the retina. Cracks or detachments in the retina, e.g. after injuries or traction-related with pronounced myopia, are characteristically associated with the perception of bright light stimuli. But detachment of the vitreous can also lead to lightning. The flashes of light mostly emanate from the same place in the field of vision and appear above all in the dark or when the eyes are closed. Since the sight of lightning is an alarm signal for an imminent or existing retinal detachment

        • basically, the rune doesn't increase the amount of HP you can get back or increase the window of time in which you can rally, it increases the amount of HP regained per hit.

            Wait, so do you recover an extra 20% of the health your weapon would normally recover, or an extra 20% of the health you lost?

              Regardless of if it "says on the page/rune" or not, it can still be interpreted wrong. Does it increase the rate you heal with rally? Does it increase the amount of potential you can heal with rally? Does it increase the duration rally is available? What does "potential" mean?? Try to actually help other players who don't fully understand.

                Pathetic! The rune was found in 2016. Glyph: oamlyya | Area: Lower Defiled Isz Root Pre-boss bonus area L5. I totally lost my trust in this wiki. The "awesome" comment function doesn't let me post the link here.

                  Wow, a lot of noobs in the comments. This rune is fantastic. A good player rallies their health back, not wasting vials. If you play aggressive, this is the rune for you. You can always use the stamina and hp runes but they're so boring and bland.

                    To those who still think this rune is terrible, wake up as this rune is broken with Gherman's Scythe, as you can full heal any lost HP within 1-2 hits if you stay aggressive and never back off to heal, the Rally mechanic is insane when using this rune.

                      keep wanting to think that, as some kind of twisted joke, the day before the release of Shadows Die Twice, From will put out an update file for Bloodborne that puts the third rune on an actual drop table, thereby truly freeing people from this nightmare I blame Micolash for all of this

                          Guidance +3 doesn't exist in game files. There's an entry for +1, +2, but no +3.
                          Someone far smarter than I has delved into the actual item values below to prove it.

                                So apparently this whole time it can't be obtained. That is unless you have a debug copy of the game. For whatever reason it is only able to be found in the debug version of the game.

                                  Son of a *****... I actually have the third rune, but I have absolutely no clue where I got it. I wish I'd known it was this elusive before I got it. I'm sorry, Bloodborne community, I have failed you.

                                      Maybe what we are missing is the middle rune and not he max rune? We have the 10% and the 20%, maybe we are missing the 15%?

                                          I have a feeling that Milkweed is the correct oath rune that you need to have in order to find the third guidance rune, and I'm just speculating you can agree or disagree, and please reply with whatever thought you have on it. But milkweed makes you glow in the dark which I seem to find not to be a coinsidence when guidance rune mentions that ludwig found hope even at the darkest places or kinda like that reasoning, plus read the milkweed rune discription, as it mentions almost the same idea revolving around the guidance rune. Its what I'm doing so far, even though nothing new was found, yet I'll give it a shot since it might make a difference.

                                                  If nobody has found it yet it has to be for sure behind a hidden wall, they are difficult to find as there are hundreds of walls to hit. Did anybody even try to hit all walls?

                                                  • I've been making and grinding through Depth 5 dungeons the past few weeks and still no lvl 3 rune.

                                                    I'm starting to think it may be the same case as the Pendant from DS1 because of this.

                                                      If it were possible to get this rune I'm sure someone would have found it by now, I mean, the DLC has been out since what? November? I suspect the rune isn't even in the game. I think the developers plan on releasing a new chalice dungeon or something and that it will be available then. I know they said they wouldn't do another major DLC, but I don't think a new chalice is out of the question.

                                                        Check this video on youtube http://youtu.be/okEL7SyiZ5o. I've opened a similar root chalice, even though its a normal Isz root chalice ( no offerings ) rather than being a Lower Ailing Loran. It has 4 layers, and on layer 4, I can go to a room exactly like the one shown in this video, and can find the exact item inside the pillar. But I've tried everything I can in both chalice dungeons, with no ability to break the wall and get that item. In case you wanted to check my dungeon instead of that video, or even make sure that they're the same, then my chalice glyph would be: 29mvkbhc

                                                          Given this game's obsession with eyes, is it possible that what Ludwig saw was Muscae volitantes? Or floaters?

                                                            Am I the only one who thinks that saying that the 30% rune can be found "in depth 5 root dungeons" is a little vague? I don't own a copy of the official DLC guide, so I have no idea what it actually says about this rune, but I do own a copy of the official guide for the main game and it's always mentioned in which root chalices which of the runes can be found. Like, it always says "Acquired from" and then "Depth 5 Isz Root Dungeon Treasure" or "Depth 5 Loran Root Dungeon Treasure" etc.

                                                            • I'm at school rn, but I think I figured it out. Can someone please test this out for me? So, you know all those runes on Lady Maria's clocktower, well, there is that one rune sketch that we can't figure out. It is reasonable to assume it is the third level guidance rune. I beleive it is in the Isz chalice due to many things, BUT, since the rune is in Maria's place, this could mean that it has something to do with her. Now, yesterday, I was in the Isz, and after I killed the 2nd layer boss, noticed that a bloodlicker was there! Maria hates blood?! i never killed it, is it inside it?
