Blood Gems — Shapes — Bloodborne

The five shapes

Choose the variant before farming

Normal, Uncanny and Lost versions have the same stats; only the slot configuration changes. Choose the one that accepts the most accessible shapes for your setup.

Shape does not determine damage. Fire radials exist, as do physical triangles. Unusual shapes are rare: planning slots around typical drops avoids a much longer search.

Gem effects and acquisition

Shape determines the compatible slot, rather than damage type. A radial can therefore provide fire.

First choose a weapon configuration that accepts the usual shapes of your desired gems.

The three slots of a compatible right-hand weapon can hold identical or complementary effects.

• Unusual shapes exist but are rare. The illustrations show shapes; their colour does not define an element.
