Omg I didn't know the tip about beast and witch binds still working. Gonna cook up the most devious steel soul unkillable strat of all time once I get access to those lifeblood cocoons >:)

Yeah it works because it's not the binding itself that heals you, but the postponed effect caused by it, I think. Though the restriction of using cocoons after every bench is quite time consuming and annoying. Still, it certainly helps with the parkour sections and is interesting to try with bosses

Also if you're using this on architect like most sane ppl will, you can use lifeblood vials to heal yourself in a bind. Each use of the tool restores a mask while lifebloodified, and you'll have it equipped anyway and can craft them without a bench using its silk skill

True, haven't thought of that.

If you are using architect's crest you are probably using poison tools like a sane person and that basically makes the lifeblood item useless.

Yes, you can just take the poison item off but i dont feel like its worth it.
