About this armor
Raises Strength by two while worn. Removing the helm removes those points, including any requirement you were meeting with them.
The two Strength points can help meet weapon requirements and improve attacks with Strength scaling. The helm does not add damage to attacks with no Strength scaling.
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.

Where to find
Cliffbottom Catacombs imps
Liurnia of the Lakes
Starting Site of Grace: Cliffbottom Catacombs
- From Liurnia Highway North grace, descend along the outside of the eastern cliff. Loop around the sloping rock at the bottom and look back along the cliff face for Cliffbottom Catacombs.
- Activate the entrance grace and take the lift down. Clear the imps in the first corridor, including the one hiding around the right corner. Descend to the locked boss doors, then take the passage to their right.
- Farm the fanged stone imps in these first passages, collect any dropped loot and rest at the entrance grace to repeat. Stay in the entrance rooms if you only want the head; the Omen-filled lower chamber and dungeon boss are unnecessary.
Notes
- Raises Strength by two while worn. Removing the helm removes those points, including any requirement you were meeting with them.
- The two Strength points can help meet weapon requirements and improve attacks with Strength scaling. The helm does not add damage to attacks with no Strength scaling.
- 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.
- Fanged imps have a 0.5% base chance at 100 Discovery. A cat-faced or long-tongued imp does not drop this version; identify the face before settling on a farm.
