Beast's Embrace — Bloodborne

Effects by tier and acquisition

Effects · conditions and stacking (wiki)

New feature has been added in the Old Hunters expansion. Oath Rune obtained in the Hunter's Nightmare your character will transform into a beast, replete with a shaggy mane and fur physics. To make this new transformation complete you can equip the Beast Claw weapon to gain access to a completely unique and far more beastly moveset. To access this weapon, head for the Ailing Loran Chalice Dungeon and search the treasure room on Layer 2 just before that floor's first Lamp. The Beasthood system has been made considerably more useful through a series of improvements to the Beast Claw, Beast Blood Pellets and the accumulation rate of the Beasthood meter. All of these upgrades combined mean that you can reliably deal more damage for longer periods, making a pure beast-mode play-style not only viable, but a very strong tactic in many situations. While the increase to your Beasthood provided by this rune is only relatively small, it does have other rather more unique properties. Equipping the rune will cause your character model to undergo a slight transformation and take on a more beastly appearance, including a large fur mane. Additionally, if you have this rune equipped at the same time as the Beast Claw weapon, the moveset of the weapon will change, and you'll gain access to entirely new attacks. Character's dodge animation also change to fit new ghastly form.
