Blood Stone Shard | Bloodborne Wiki (2024)

Blood Stone Shard
A solid shard that forms in coldblood. After death, a substance in the blood hardens, and that which does not crystallize is called a blood stone. At the workshop, these bloodstones are embedded in weapons to fortify them.

Blood Stone Shard is an upgrade Item in Bloodborne.

Notes

• An efficient, relatively early place to farm is Hypogean Gaol lantern. Immediately down the stairs are two snatchers, who almost always drop blood stone shards (when they don't, they drop twin blood stone shards). Further down the stairs, through the first available doorway, are two more snatchers, with the same drop rates.
