Sacred Grail Drops can increase the recovery amount when players use Blood Bottles, and the increase is based on a percentage of the player's health/blue volume.
An unenhanced drop recovers about 200 health per use.
So, at this point, a +2 drop can recover at least 300+ health in one go.
Considering Lao Ju's current total health just over 600.
It would take three bottles of unenhanced drops to heal from low health, but after enhancement, just two bottles would be enough to fully recover.
The improvement is quite significant.
Besides this, Lao Ju also checked the ashes he carried with him.
In "Elden," there is a summoning mechanism to help players alleviate the pressure of the game's difficulty and reduce the frustration of constant failure.
Once summoned, the ashes will join the battle as a 'pet', attracting the BOSS's aggro for the player.
Moreover, ashes are not just punching bags.
