What are Imp Heads and How to Find them

Discover the Imp Heads in Elden Ring! Learn about their stats, attribute boosts, and where to find each unique helmet, from early-game cat variants to late-game wolf designs.

Hey Tarnished! Let's talk about the Imp Heads in Elden Ring. These aren't just any helmets; they're unique headpieces, each modeled after a different creature. You'll find six distinct types: Imp Head (Cat), Imp Head (Corpse), Imp Head (Elder), Imp Head (Fanged), Imp Head (Long-Tongued), and Imp Head (Wolf).

What makes them stand out? Well, they're all pretty heavy, weighing in at 8.1, but they offer decent defensive stats to make up for it. Plus, each one gives you a sweet +2 bonus to a specific attribute, which can be super helpful for fine-tuning your build. Here's the breakdown:

Now, how do you get your hands on these? The main way is by defeating Jade Goblins. Keep an eye out for these guys because if they're wearing an Imp Head helmet, they have a chance to drop that exact helmet when you beat them. It's a bit of a gamble with the RNG, so be prepared to farm a bit!

Ranged attacks and magic are your best friends here. Jade Goblins love to ambush you and hide on walls, so picking them off from a distance makes the fight much easier. They can be found in various catacombs scattered across the Lands Between. Some are farmable pretty early on, while others won't show up until much later in the game. Honestly, they're more for collectors or those who really want that specific attribute boost, as their weight might be a dealbreaker for many.

Where to Find Each Imp Head:

• Imp Head (Cat): This is a rare drop from Jade Goblins. You can start looking for them in catacombs like the Stormfoot Catacombs, located northwest of the Church of Elleh, near the Stranded Graveyard.
• Imp Head (Corpse): Head to Leyndell, Royal Capital. Search the darkened alleys south of the East Capital Rampart Site of Grace; you'll find a corpse hidden in some bushes that has it.
• Imp Head (Elder): You'll need to venture into the Consecrated Snowfield Catacombs. Be warned, it's guarded by an Erdtree Burial Watchdog (though not a boss, it's still tough!).
• Imp Head (Fanged): Farm the more challenging Jade Goblins found in the Cliffbottom Catacombs in Liurnia.
• Imp Head (Long-Tongued): These are found on Jade Goblins in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds within Leyndell, Royal Capital.
• Imp Head (Wolf): Farm the Jade Goblins in the Minor Erdtree Catacombs located in Caelid.

So, happy hunting! These helmets might not be game-changers, but they're a cool addition to your collection and can offer a nice little stat boost if you're willing to put in the work to find them.
