Vermin is a Consumable Item in Bloodborne. It was added with Patch 1.07.
Vermin Usage
- Crush this item to obtain +1 rank in the covenant The League
- Can be sold for 300 Blood Echoes
Location
- Obtained by completing a successful co-op session as a phantom whilst wearing the Impurity rune.
- Additionally if you are not a member of the league, but complete a co-op session with another phantom who is, you may receive one.
- You may also obtain Vermin for completing Chalice Dungeon objectives as a phantom whilst wearing the rune.
- Three Old Hunters in the Hunter's Nightmare drop Vermin. These hunters do not respawn, so a total of 3 vermin can be obtained this way. The aforementioned Old Hunters can be told apart, due to having red eyes. They are also stronger than the other Old Hunters in the area.
- One can be fought on a rooftop across where the player comes from at the gate square, before reaching the Nightmare Grand Cathedral. He wields a Boom Hammer.
- One can be fought guarding the Beasthunter Siaf. He wields a Beasthunter Siaf.
- One can be fought behind the Nightmare Church downstairs, where the Whirligig Saw can be found further down. He wields a Beast Cutter.
- One Vermin can be obtained by slaying Ludwig with Valtr summoned, provided Valtr survives.
- Another Vermin can be obtained in the same way by having Valtr survive the fight with Laurence.
Notes
- Successful co-op session meaning being summoned as a Confederate. The host does not get one vermin after co-op session, you must be the Phantom.
- There is currently a bug that will only count as +1 to the covenant, if you were to consume multiples of this item at once.
- Was able to obtain Vermin in the first level of the first Pthumerian Chalice Dungeon, without wearing any runes. It was dropped by an enemy during a co-op session.
- Seems like being summoned and defeating a boss with a Confederate still gives Vermin even with no Impurity equipped.
- Despite Old Hunter Yamamura being a summonable Confederate for the fight with Living Failures you do not get a Vermin for successfully completing the fight with him. Could be a possible bug.
- The idea of Vermin may have derive from Sunlight Maggots or "parasitic evil" - read more.

I had like 16 of these for some reason and never knew what they were used for and literally never went back to bucket head. Literally just crushed them in front of him a bit ago. I talked to him after crushing each one. Spoiler? Kinda. Found myself fighting a somewhat easy hunter at the lamp near bucket head. But I’m assuming he killed the good old bucket head man.. poor bucket head

So, I don't have ps+ but I had obtained 4 of these in the DLC (3 from NPC drops and one from valtr surviving through the ludwig fight), and I knew you needed 5 to get valtr's helmet or whatever, and I also knew I could get my fifth from summoning valtr for laurence and having him survive that too, which was my plan, but then he died when I had almost killed laurence. I actually considered just intentionally dying too to try again but laurence had been giving me such a headache at that point I just said screw it and killed him to be done with it. Any way to get that fifth vermin without online?

Not sure why, but I got one after fighting Father Gascoigne. First playthrough, no coop, came to the wiki page to see what this was. Weird.

How could one collect these without getting the DLC or PS+? If that's not possible, then do they at least carry over to NG+ if you haven't used them?

Does your ranking on the league carry over to a new character? Wanna make a new character but got 300+ crushed.

The vermin looks a lot like the Tingler from the old B movie with kind of the same background.
I wonder if it's connected?

I was able to receive a Vermin from the non-respawning hunters in the Hunter's Nightmare while I was in the Hunter of Hunters covenant.

Seems like a bug...18 Jul 2016 17:46
I didn't see it mentioned so I thought I'd give a heads up. After consuming my first 10 Vermin, individually but without Impurity equipped, there was no change in either Valtr's dialogue or my covenant standing. However, after applying the Impurity rune before consuming each Vermin my covenant standing progressed.

Vermin received without covenant05 Jul 2016 14:48
Just adding to Primera's part of the post saying that I also got a vermin from being summoned to a co-op session with a League member in it (not the host) without having any covenant runes.

Consumed 1 vermin in Old Yarnham but ...05 Jul 2016 14:48
I did not move up in rank after consuming it. Do you have to be in Hunters Dream or The Forbidden Woods when you consume it? I have consumed vermin in both of those places and then my rank went up. It seems dumb, but apparently where you are when you consume it affects whether or not it works.
