So playing the game without these runes would be a cat-astrophe hey Darryn?

violent past.
if waste of skin has minimal arcane/bloodtinge stats it would be a no brainer. Too bad these stats are too high in waste of skin

Half of this information is either off or completely wrong. Please actually play the game.

You can find the eye rune when you kill the old lady sitting before you fall and fight Rom, the vacuous Spider. I got lucky and killed her thinking she was the boss and she dropped the eye rune!

Your information is bad, or at the very least poorly thought out. There’s multiple runes of some. Moon for instance I have 3 versions. I have 2 anti-clockwise runes that I’m using. A couple of the visceral grants more souls.

On your guide you said “Moon, increased def +3%”. On my game the Moon rune says “more echoes from slain enemies”. If I remember I got this rune from when I got kidnapped by the bag man and taken to that prison.
I got Lake rune from the graveyard, it’s at the edge of the map just before the sea drop, it does “Phys. DMG reduction +3%
