Use this on father ariandel,it melts him

Slay

Do you think this goes well with Raw caestus in a non luck build? I can apply any resin to them, but bleed seemed like the most convenient for bosses.

Submit

With ~40 luck it increases to ~26 on hollow weapons. So from gutter tier to gutter tier+. Well worth the 40 stat points.

Submit

this vs blood infusion?

Submit

Does the 20 bu scale with luck?

Submit

hollow affects the bleed aux exactly like shriving stone does so basicly it doesnt nerf the bleed aux like other infusions but not to say that it buffs it in any sense. though it is better than keeping it normal since a hollow infusion can still be buffed with carthus rouge and the higher the luck the more effective rouge so luck will end up buffing your dmg, your natural bleed aux and the carthus rouge buff.

Submit

speaking of strike weapons person below this comment, i put some of this one a strike weapon and NOTHING bled, yes it was enemies who could bleed, but like, are strike weapons incapable of bleeding enemies with rouge or something?

Submit

putting this on a strike weapon is nonsensical and silly, and i love it

Submit

Believe it or not, this works well on guts greatsword. Specially with spinning stomp wa.

Submit

Imagine if Dark Souls had a competent developer who knew how to balance things.

Submit

I gave the shrine maiden the Grave Warden ashes, but she still doesn't sell it.

Submit

Praise the Sun!

Submit

my carthus rouge is all black and doesn't bleed anything?

Submit

I wanted to do a holes build but I’m not sure which is better. Heavy flamberge with Carthus or hollow flamberge with Carthus. In SL 200 if that has any impact

Submit

what?? carthus rouge add 45 bleed effect when you use it !!

Submit

The only reason why I use this is because I envy those filthy clerics spamming lighting blades. Doesn't really matter, though. Buffed or not I still rip em apart like kfc mcnuggets. What the ***** did I wrote?

Submit

Hollow carthus curved great sword with 60 luck str and dex plus carthus rogue buff does 600+ damage not including damage from insanely high bleed build up.. probably one of my favorite weapons for bleed build

Submit

Added luck scaling information

Submit

with this on a 40 luck hollow build corvian scythe i bleed people in heavy armor ( like exiles ) in 5 hits

Submit

People crying about the nerf on this make me laugh.. acting like theres no good bleed weapon that has high damage.... your prayers were answered long ago, blood astora gs does good damage and has higher bleed then hollow weapons ever had to begin with. poison is also extremely high on that infusion for it, pair them together and wreck face.

Submit

My Hollow Great Corvian Scythe Approves the use of this item! :D

Submit

so this was nerfed pretty hard then. guess my flamberge is just a particularly sexy greatsword now, with the old stuff it was still insanely difficult to bleed without any multihit combos on that thing. rip bleed greatsword, though i'm fairly certain it was never really 'alive'

Submit

Rouge only adds 20? That's practically useless, even innate bleed weapons have at least 32, man that sucks. So rouge is poinltess, unless you use hollow warden twinblades with rouge I suppose. I do quite a bit of damage with those, but it's hard to argue with Anri's doing 404 AR at SL 87

Submit

All they had to do was tweak it so Onikiri and Ubadachi didn't instant proc with the weapon art and now they can't even follow the same train

Submit

The nerf has hit this buff so hard... Right now, a hollow build NEEDS to use Blood infusion in order to bleed someone, instead of relying in a Hollow infusion+Carthus Rouge, which was the main point of using Hollow infusion. Greatshields are basically cancer right now, to such point where I'm always keeping handy any SS or GS with the guard break WA. So sad.

Submit

So what exactly did they do to carthus rouge to nerf it? I would like to know if anyone has details that would be great.

Submit

WHAT THE ***** AM I SUPPOSED TO DO AGAINST GREATSHIELDS NOW!?

Submit

From needs to stop listening to whiners/casuls and nerf everything people have fun with.

Submit

Seriously From can't get anything right it's there you to OP, or nerfed into utter uselessness my bleed build is *****ed now, oh well back to quality.

Submit

FROM making this big of changes(nerfs) in a year old game... seriously? wow! lame AF.

Submit

RIP Carthous Rouge, it went from being super op to probably the most useless buff in the game.

Submit

Think it's useless in PVP now.
I got Crow Talons buff with carthus land a full weapon art on me and I'm not bloodlost it's around 60-70% to get proc.
So now bleed build is suck not only this buff but Bleed is suck now that very fkin hard to bloodlost player if they smart enough to care about bloodlost.

Submit

CE shows 20 bleed now by the way.

Submit

Needs new information post patch 1.11.

Submit

Does luck have any merit on carthus rogue?

Submit

Bleed Users:
Cesspool of degenerates

Submit

Did they nerf this thing? If I remember correctly, it added 45 bleed, not 35

Submit

I haven't played in a while, and I thought you could apply carthus rouge to the chaos blade. Is that not the case anymore?

Submit

"If you use Carthus Rouge to buff the Warden Twinblades or Onikiri and Ubadachi, each hit of the dual wielded L1s/L2s adds 35 bleed" what about claws and manikin claws?

Submit

I remember how in dark souls 1 if you got bleed, your pretty much always dead instantly

Submit

Apply to Kirks Sword. Melt bosses. A refined kirks sword +8 plus carthus rogue can annihalite the crystal sage in the archives with less than 10 hits. Stacking over 3000 dmg on ng before he could teleport

Submit

I can't buy more than 5 at a time if I do it won't go into my storage and disappears. Anyone else have this problem?

During some testing on how bleeding works, I've also done a few tests with the carthus rouge. Here is how it works:On a normal weapon it is rather simple. It adds a bleed value to the weapon, allowing you to build-up bleed and do bleeding damage. I haven't fully tested it with none-bleed weapons yet, but I asume this value will also be affected by luck, but my best guess is that the base value is 33 bleed.On a weapon that already has bleeding it will increase the build-up speed, but bleed damage won't be increased. It'll take the bleed value of the weapon the determine the damage.Thus, I believe that the carthus rouge does add both build-up and damage. However, the build-up is allowed to stack, while the damage only takes into account the highest source of bleeding. Bleed damage is always determined by which weapon you use to proc the bleed on the target, all strikes that happened to build the bleeding up don't mather when it comes to the damage your bleed will do. So far example, you hit 3x with bandit's knife. Your next strike will bleed. You can now do a final attack with the knife for 297 dmg, or you can swap to another weapon with higher bleed like the Corvian Scythe to deal 340 bleed dmg. (numbers used based on tests with +0 normal weapons).You cannot add Carthus Rouge to a weapon that already is infused, however, one might find merit in using a fast weapon to build-up bleed stacks with the use of carthus rouge (perhaps even proc 1 time) and then finish off their opponent with a final strike of a slower, but higher bleed weapon infused with blood.Simply put. Blood vs Carthus Rouge comes down to this:Blood: More damage, less build-upCarthus rouge: More build-up, less damage. Can add standard build-up to none-bleeding weapons.

There's no way this applies +45. Maybe it brings any weapon up to 45% bleed because if it was +45 then my wardens would be doing 52 base bleed + 45 carthus and my bleed should theoretically pop for 97% which doesn't happen it seems to always chunk for just about half in PvP

Submit

If I have lots of luck, do these scale and do more bleed?

Submit

Anyone have any idea why they're not being sold after handing in the Grave Warden's Ash?

Submit

How much does it buff your bleed? Is it worth putting a bleed stone on my morning star or should i just stick to using these? The bleed stone only buffs bleed by like +4

Submit

After turning in the Grave warden's Ash, she now sells this item along with the kukri for 1000 and 50 souls a piece, unlimited stock.Gravewarden Ash is obtained in the Catacombs

Submit

Some of the taller skeleton men in the Catacombs were dropping these.. or maybe the skeletons were? I can't confirm either right now, but I've gotten a few drops just killing skeletons in the Catacombs

Submit

Who drops this?

Submit

Are these dispensable, anybody know of a farming location/vendor?

Submit

Anyone know if these can be purchased from an NPC?
