Caryll Runes in Bloodborne Bloodborne Guide

The Memory Altar allows you to reinforce the form of the Caryll runes.

In Bloodborne, there are special runes that can aid you in certain situations. The runes play the role of gadgets and allow you to reinforce some of your attributes, attacks that you collect with the Blood Echoes or resistances against given types of attacks. You can find runes in several locations and each has a different effect.

After the fight with the Hemwick Witch, remember to collect the Rune Workshop tool, in the room at the end of the corridor, past the lit lamp.

To use runes, you require the Rune Workshop Tool. You can obtain the items quite early into the game, after you reach Cathedral ward and open the gate to the man yard. You can then go to Hemwick Charner Lane and fight the boss - the Hemwick Witch. After you kill her, enter the room that you unlocked and collect the item from the skeleton.

After that, you can use runes in Hunter's Dream, in the chapel, at the table in the center (Memory Altar).

There are for available rune slots. Three of them correspond to the runes that affect your character and his statistics, whereas the last rune corresponds to the oath (they are different in color and they are connected with the covenant you choose; in general, you cannot find them and you can only obtain them, by meeting certain requirements, regarding certain characters). Runes come in varieties - for example, a rune may have three different types of reinforcements, (e.g. to constitution by 10, 15 or 20 per cent). Some of the runes, especially the more potent ones, can be found in Chalice Dungeons.

You can change the active rune at any time, also the one connected to the covenant - however, to do his, you need to return to Hunter's Dream.
