Trivia

• This badge features the Cainhurst coat of arms. It can be found throughout Forsaken Cainhurst Castle, on the stagecoach the player boards to get there, and even on the Obelisk where said stagecoach arrives, at Hemwick Charnel Lane.
• It adds a clapping Messenger that lies down to the Bath's edge, behind and off to left of the original Messenger of the Bath Messenger. Interestingly, this new Messenger follows the player with its gaze, turning his head to face him, just like the Cosmic Eye Watcher Badge and Spark Hunter Badge.
• The Japanese name for this badge is 'カインの証', essentially meaning 'Cainhurst Badge' or 'Mark of Cainhurst' except 'hurst' is dropped from 'Cainhurst' so it would just be 'Cain Badge' or, funnily, 'Mark of Cain'.
  • All the other badges, in Japanese, have '狩人' in their name, the Cainhurst Badge is the only one that does not have it, '狩人' meaning 'Hunter'.
