Enlarged Head ❘ 肥大した頭部	Attire

In-Game Description An enlarged head of a patient of the Cathedral, with a cavity that just happens to fit a human head, although one would be mad to try it on. But if you do, listen carefully, for the sticky sound. Drip, drop. As water, seeping up from the depths, slowly, steadily. Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ Overview Each piece of attire contributes to your overall defense and changes your character's appearance. While different pieces of attire do have different effects, the changes are typically not drastic enough to override aesthetic considerations. Information on highest defense combination of attire can be found on Highest Defense Armor Sets page. Enlarged Head Sound Effects: As in-game description suggests if you listen carefully you can irregurarly hear drip, drop sounds [video (0:10, 0:54) & video (0:02, 0:16)] while Enlarged Head is equipped. After extensive testing, it seems that only male characters can hear these sounds while female characters don't. If it is intentional or mere bug is currently unknown. Availability Treasure in (Old Hunters DLC): Research Hall, patient side room on the fifth floor. Clothing Defense Clothing Defense is a percentage reduction after Physical DEF is applied. "Every 10 points of defense is 1% damage reduction." Each type is specific and separate in this category. The entry for "Physical" (read as, Physical damage that's not specifically Thrust or Blunt) doesn't apply to Thrust or Blunt damage, as they each have their own separate numbers. Separate items of clothing stack multiplicatively, rather than additively like you might expect. Hat, chest, arms, legs of 50, 100, 40, 40 respectively for example, would yield 212, or 1000 * (1 - (.95 * .9 * .96 * .96)), rather than 230. Caryll Runes that affect damage resistance stack on top of your Clothing Defense. Note that the "Physical" defense rune increases Physical, Thrust, Blunt, and Blood. "Arcane" only affects Arcane, but not Bolt and Fire, which each have their own rune. These also stack multiplicatively on top of clothing (and each-other). A 5% rune would be like adding a clothing item with 50 defense in that category. In the example above, you'd go from 212 to 251 with a +5% rune. More information can be found in damage reduction page. Hidden Equip Load Despite hidden "Equip Load" being removed for stamina regeneration with patch 1.04 (more information on Weight System page). It does affect the fall damage. Equip Load gets higher by equipping pieces of attire, right and left hand weapons, furthermore in case of the weapons even unequipped ones in your quick menu count. Higher the hidden "Equip Load" the more damage will your character take from the fall damage. Interestingly enough pieces of attire from The Old Hunters DLC has no weight penalty, therefore as if you would fall naked (more information on Fall Damage page). Notes This Attire is part of The Old Hunters DLC. Video: Bloodborne The Old Hunters - "Enlarged Head" Gear Location / Preview by tassssssssss.

The higher this attribute, the more resistant you are. Y is Rapid Poison resistance to rapid poisoning. The higher this attribute, the more resistant you are. Z is Frenzy resistance to the lure of frenzy. The higher this attribute, the more resistant you are.	The higher this attribute, the closer you are to beasthood when temporary transformed.
