About this armor
Raises Intelligence by two while worn. Removing the helm removes those points, including any requirement you were meeting with them.
The two Intelligence points can help meet a sorcery or weapon requirement. They do not add a separate percentage bonus to every sorcery.
Weighs 8.1 and provides 10 poise. It is a heavy headpiece for a two-point attribute bonus, so account for that weight before choosing it over lighter clothing.

In-game description
Head covering made from the largely unaltered head of an impish golem.
Resembling a cat, it holds trace amounts of feline intelligence.
Where to find
Stormfoot Catacombs imps
Limgrave
Starting Site of Grace: Stormfoot Catacombs
- From Church of Elleh in Limgrave, ride northwest to the cliff and find the doorway into Stormfoot Catacombs. Activate the grace inside.
- Descend past the closed boss doors into the first imp rooms. Look for small stone imps with cat-shaped faces, including enemies hiding around corners and on walls.
- Kill the cat-faced imps and collect their loot, then return to the entrance grace and rest to repeat. You do not need to open the boss doors or defeat the Burial Watchdog for this farm.
Notes
- Raises Intelligence by two while worn. Removing the helm removes those points, including any requirement you were meeting with them.
- The two Intelligence points can help meet a sorcery or weapon requirement. They do not add a separate percentage bonus to every sorcery.
- Weighs 8.1 and provides 10 poise. It is a heavy headpiece for a two-point attribute bonus, so account for that weight before choosing it over lighter clothing.
- Cannot be altered. Its bonus comes from the headpiece alone, with no matching outfit required.
- Cat-faced imps have a 0.5% base chance to drop it at 100 Discovery. Higher Discovery helps, but repeated kills can still produce no headpiece. Other imp faces have different drops.
