Sullied Bandage
Bandage worn upon awakening to the nightmare of blood
and beasts. Terribly worn and unsanitary.
A faint memory recalls blood ministration, involving the
transfusion of unknown blood.
Not long after, the nightmare began.
Communion Rune
A secret symbol left by Caryll, runesmith of Byrgenwerth.
Several runes relate to "Blood," including "Communion,"
which raises the maximum number of blood vials
one may carry.
The rune represents the Healing Church and its
ministers. Blood ministration is, of course, the pursuit
of communion.
Blood Vial
Special blood used in ministration. Restores HP.
Once a patient has had their blood ministered, a unique but
common treatment in Yharnam, successive infusions recall
the first, and are all the more invigorating for it.
No surprise that most Yharnamites are heavy users of blood.
Sedative
Liquid medicine concoted at Byrgenwerth.
Calms the nerves.
Those who delve into the arcane fall all-too-easily to
madness, and thick human blood serves to calm the frayed
nerves of these inquisitive minds. Naturally, this often leads
to a reliance on blood ministration.
Gehrman dialogue:
After defeating the Blood-starved Beast and recovering the Pthumeru Chalice:
"The Healing Church, and the Blood Ministers who belong to it…were once guardians of the hunters, in the times of the hunter…Ludwig. They worked, and forged weapons, in their unique workshop. Today, most ministers don't recall the hunters. And so, heed the message of your forebears. Ascend to Oedon Chapel."
Gilbert dialogue:
Upon speaking with him (Second time)
"Paleblood, you say? Hmm… Never heard of it. But if it's blood you're interested in, you should try the Healing Church. The church controls all knowledge on blood ministration, and all varieties of blood. Across the valley to the East of Yharnam lies the town of the Healing Church, known as the Cathedral Ward. And deep within the Cathedral Ward is the old grand cathedral. …the birthplace of the Healing Church's special blood, or so they say. *coughs* Yharnamites don't share much with outsiders. Normally, they wouldn't let you near this place, but… The hunt is on tonight. This might be your chance…"
