The Empty Phantasm Shell is a Hunter Tool in Bloodborne.

Description[]

In-Game Description

Empty invertebrate shell that is said to be a familiar of a Great One. The Healing Church has discovered a great variety of invertebrates, or phantasms, as they are called.
Shells with slime still harbour arcane power, and can be rubbed on weapons to imbue them with their strength.

Location[]

  • Byrgenwerth:
    • Go inside the building, climb the stairs, climb the ladder, and at the very top, there is a chest. The item lies within it.

Characteristics[]

Casting it acts as a buff to imbue a non-infused weapon with 80 Arcane damage for 3 Quicksilver Bullets, lasting for a minute.

Notes[]

  • Particularly useful against Pthumerian opponents, since they are weak to Arcane damage.
  • This is the only Hunter Tool that provides a set amount of bonus damage without any sort of scaling.
  • It is functionally identical to Fire and Bolt Paper, though it costing much less to use, yet at the same time draining an important resource.

Trivia[]

  • The buffed weapon will emanate a pale blue light that will emit a strange ringing sound.
  • Despite being called a shell, it seems as if it were sort of cocoon or exoskeleton that housed a larva. The shape of it seems to most likely imply that this being became a butterfly.
  • The appendages draped across the Madman Garb resemble this shell.
