Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Stormhill Shack

Before you go

• Crafting Kit
• Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook [7]
• Ingredients per batch: 1 Herba, 1 Cave Moss and 1 Land Octopus Ovary

1. From Stormhill Shack, follow the road north toward the broken bridge east of Stormveil Castle.
2. Pass the Finger Reader Crone and walk toward the collapsed end.
3. Check the corpse at the bridge's edge and loot the cookbook.
4. The route around Stormveil continues below the bridge, but the book is on the bridge itself.
5. Buy the Crafting Kit from Kalé at Church of Elleh for 300 runes if Item Crafting is unavailable.
6. Collect 1 Herba, 1 Cave Moss and 1 Land Octopus Ovary. Outside combat, open Item Crafting and select Stanching Boluses. One batch makes 1.

Medicine Peddler's Bell Bearing shop

Capital Outskirts and Roundtable Hold

Starting Site of Grace: Hermit Merchant's Shack

Before you go

• Defeat the Bell Bearing Hunter at Hermit Merchant's Shack.

1. Reach the northern part of the Capital Outskirts and find Hermit Merchant's Shack beside the road northwest of the capital's outer wall.
2. Activate the grace, speak to the merchant, then pass time until night. Rest again or reload the area so the merchant is absent.
3. Approach the shack and defeat the Bell Bearing Hunter that appears. Collect the bearing awarded for winning.
4. Offer it to the Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold to open the medicine stock.
5. Open the unlocked medicine stock and buy Stanching Boluses for 1,200 runes each. This stock is unlimited.

Nomadic Merchant on the western Limgrave beach

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Coastal Cave

Before you go

• 600 runes per item.

1. Use the sloping route down to the western beach near the First Step. Do not jump from the high cliff above the water.
2. Follow the shore southeast from Coastal Cave until you find the merchant's campfire.
3. Choose Purchase and buy Stanching Boluses for 600 runes each. The merchant has 3; resting does not replenish that stock.

Notes

• Clears Blood Loss buildup before Hemorrhage triggers. Use it while the red buildup bar is still filling.
• Hemorrhage deals its burst when the bar fills. This item cannot undo that burst or return the HP afterward, and it does not give lasting bleed immunity.
• This is an immediate cure, rather than a resistance buff. It does not replace a cured-meat resistance effect or make the next incoming ailment harmless.
• Using one costs no FP and consumes the prepared boluses. Carry up to 99, with another 600 in storage.
• The cookbook and Crafting Kit are kept. Each listed batch makes one, and the ingredients are consumed when crafting.
• Each craft uses 1 Herba, 1 Cave Moss and 1 Land Octopus Ovary.
• Medicine Peddler's Bell Bearing unlocks unlimited purchases from the Twin Maiden Husks for 1,200 runes each. Killing the ordinary Hermit Merchant is not the bearing reward; defeat the nighttime Bell Bearing Hunter.
• The western Limgrave beach merchant also sells 3 for 600 runes each. This smaller stock is cheaper than the unlimited bearing shop and does not refill when you rest.
