About this armor
Raises Faith by two while worn. Removing the helm removes those points, including any requirement you were meeting with them.
The two Faith points can help meet an incantation or weapon requirement. They do not give a separate bonus to a particular incantation school.
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 the visage of a corpse, it holds trace amounts of lingering faith.
Where to find
Dark side alley beside the main avenue
Leyndell, Royal Capital
Starting Site of Grace: Avenue Balcony
Before you go
- Collect it before defeating Maliketh.
- Before defeating Maliketh, start at Avenue Balcony in Leyndell, Royal Capital. Go southeast up the stairs to the main avenue.
- Follow the avenue northeast to the large closed door at the eastern end of the city. Turn right before the door and follow the wall south into the lower alley.
- Clear the soldiers guarding the bushes and loot the seated corpse for Imp Head (Corpse). It is a fixed pickup, so there is no imp to farm.
Notes
- Raises Faith by two while worn. Removing the helm removes those points, including any requirement you were meeting with them.
- The two Faith points can help meet an incantation or weapon requirement. They do not give a separate bonus to a particular incantation school.
- 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.
- Collect it before Maliketh changes the Royal Capital to ash. This fixed corpse is different from the farmable Cat, Fanged and Long-Tongued heads.
