Lore
A malformed vertebra found by the mad, with a
queer symbol on its inside, proof of the shackles
of the Gods.
Increases physical damage by 5% whilst worn.Enables the collection of Vertebra Shackle from
enemies.The mound-makers wish only to add to their
mounds, becoming mad spirits whether summoned
as co-operators or invaders. They are blithe to
those around them, for in their minds, any kill
might lead to another shackle.
Availability
Given by Holy Knight Hodrick in the Undead Settlement before defeating the Curse-rotted Greatwood, or obtained after helping Sirris of the Sunless Realms defeat Hodrick.

Notes

- Areas where enemies constantly respawn (like the graveyard outside of the Cleansing Chapel bonfire) switch the covenant material drop rate to 1%.
