Not like this, lad, not like this.

I fear to ask, but w-what did I miss? Scrolling through the previous thread doesn't seem terribly enlightening.

Can anyone explain chalice dungeons? How do they work?

Which part? I don't see an explanation of chalice dungeons. I gather that you have to create them using ritual items (wtf?) But like once you create one, is it permanent? Or does it disappear after some period of time? When should I do them? What's up with the root dungeons? What's up with the ID codes in the OP and elsewhere? It's all rather weird tbqh.

Chalice dungeons are optional areas into which you can go, essentially long dungeon crawler areas which contain some unique bosses, a few unique items (two armour sets, one weapon and the best runes) and most importantly, the best gems. There are four types of 'story' Chalice Dungeon, Pthumeru, Hintertomb, Loran, Isz, each one being made of several layers of varying difficulty, denoted by 'depth', depth 1 being piss easy, depth 5 being bastard hard. You will also receive, in these dungeons, root chalices which are randomized versions of the dungeon you're in. You can, when making a root chalice, add certain conditions to make the chalice harder and thereby get better items from it, you can make Foetid, Rotted and Cursed (FRC) Dungeons, Foetid and Rotted spawn harder enemies more frequently and make them stronger, Cursed dungeons halve your health but also allow you to receive Cursed Bloodgems, the best type of gems, but beware as they come with a negative attribute, anything from damage vs beasts going down to your health depleting.
You can completely ignore the other of the headstones on which you make them, I'm guessing it was something never implemented.
Lore-wise, Chalice Dungeons are where the ancient Pthumerians lived and the places Byrgenwerth discovered all the horrible bullshit that resulted in this game.

Thanks based user!

What chalice did you guys farm off-shape blood gems? Because I'm using: y592byza And I've got about 3-4 radials and tris and 15-20 waning gems. It's getting silly now. The last 10 million echoes earned from farming them have been nothing but waning gems.
