Overview
- Caryll Runes are special items that you can attach to your character at the workshop in the Hunter's Dream. You can use up to four at onetime, and they provide a variety of very helpful effects. Use them tactically depending on the environments you plan to explore and the enemies you expect to face.
- Before you can make use of Runes, you'll need the Rune Workshop Tool. This is found in Hemwick after defeating the Witch of Hemwick. After you have the tool, approach the Memory Altar in the Workshop and press X to equip Runes in your memory slots. You have three normal Memory Slots for basic runes, and a fourth "Oath Memory" slot. The basic runes are for use with normal Caryll Runes, and the Oath Memory slot is for Oath Runes only. Some runes have up to three different ranks, with higher ranked runes having more powerful effects.
- Beware if you sell any Caryll Rune they will NOT respawn in New Game Plus.
Effects
- The Arcane Lake effect reduces the damage you take from arcane attacks. When you are facing enemies that deal arcane damage, this is very useful; the rest of the time, it does absolutely nothing to benefit you. That said, there are some extremely dangerous arcane attacks throughout the game. Some of the most notable ones are listed here: Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos, Martyr Logarius, Celestial Emissary, The Witch of Hemwick, The One Reborn, Amygdala, Rom, the Vacuous Spider, Gehrman, The First Hunter

Notes
- One of the five Lake Caryll Runes, the other four are Lake, Dissipating Lake, Fading Lake and Great Lake.
- Clothing Defense is a PERCENTAGE reduction AFTER Physical DEF is applied. "Every 10 points of resistance is 1% damage reduction." Each type is specific and separate in this category. The entry for "Physical" (read as, Physical damage that's not specifically Thrust or Blunt) doesn't apply to Thrust or Blunt damage, as they each have their own separate numbers. Separate items of clothing stack multiplicatively, rather than additively like you might expect. Hat, chest, arms, legs of 50, 100, 40, 40 respectively for example, would yield 212, or 1000 * (1 - (.95 * .9 * .96 * .96)), rather than 230. Caryll Runes that affect damage resistance stack on top of your Clothing Defense. Note that the "Physical" defense rune increases Physical, Thrust, Blunt, and Blood. "Arcane" only affects Arcane, but not Bolt and Fire, which each have their own rune. These also stack multiplicatively on top of clothing (and each-other). A 5% rune would be like adding a clothing item with 50 defense in that category. In the example above, you'd go from 212 to 251 with a +5% rune. More information can be found in damage reduction page.
