Crucible Knot Talisman

Talismans

Removes the special headshot damage multiplier and the dedicated headshot reaction when the incoming hit qualifies. The hit still deals its normal damage. This is not a fixed percentage reduction to every attack near your head, and it does not prevent ordinary body-hit stagger, heavy knockdowns or critical attacks. Equipping another item with the same headshot protection does not provide another layer of this effect.

In-game description

A talisman fashioned from a bony knot that embodies the aspects of various creatures.

Said to have grown on the human body long ago.

Reduces damage and impact of headshots taken.

A vestige of the crucible of primordial life. Born partially of devolution, it was considered a signifier of the divine in ancient times, but is now increasingly disdained as an impurity as civilization has advanced.

Where to find

Omenkiller in the Village of the Albinaurics

Liurnia of the Lakes

Starting Site of Grace: Village of the Albinaurics

  1. Approach the southwestern lake cliffs and follow the rising muddy path beneath the huge rock overhang. The village is underneath the Moonlight Altar plateau, not on top of it.
  2. Activate Village of the Albinaurics and continue up the village path.
  3. Cross the stone bridge toward the fires and the Omenkiller. Dogs near the arena can join the fight, so deal with them before letting the boss corner you.
  4. Defeat the Omenkiller to receive the talisman. Albus's medallion quest is separate and does not need to be completed for this reward.

Notes

  • Removes the special damage bonus and dedicated impact of a qualifying headshot. The normal damage from the hit still applies, so this is separate from ordinary armor negation and is not a fixed 30% reduction to every hit near your head.
  • The hit must qualify as a headshot. This is not a general reduction to body hits, backstabs or ripostes.
  • Its headshot protection does not stack with Pumpkin Helm. Wearing both does not add a second copy of the same protection.
  • It does not increase your own headshot damage or prevent enemies from aiming at your head.
  • The Omenkiller in the Village of the Albinaurics drops it directly. Albus's medallion and Nepheli's separate quest rewards are not required for this drop.
