Where to find it

Dropped by Erdtree Burial Watchdogs that carry it. An easy farming spot is the Giant-Conquering Hero’s Grave: in the first big open room there is a Watchdog near a circle of Rosus’s light. Lure it into the light and it staggers, giving you free damage. If you drop down from the high windows behind it, you can deal with the two imps in the room first.

Item description & lore

Carried by the stone Watchdogs that guard Erdtree burials. Its watchful eye was pried out by graverobbers, leaving just a hollow and a lump of stone.
