Vertebra Shackle Usage
- Used to increase Mound-Maker Covenant allegiance at the Sacrificial Altar in Undead Settlement, Pit of Hollows.
Vertebra Shackle Location
- One is gained from defeating mad spirit Holy Knight Hodrick after he invades in the Undead Settlement. A Vertebra Shackle will not be obtained upon killing him after summoning him near the Crucifixion Woods bonfire.
- +Item Drop from Carthus Swordsman Skeleton in the Catacombs of Carthus (Very Rare, ~0.8% at 100 Kills with Item Discovery of 100, tested on 100 Kills with 499 Item Discovery).
- +Item Drop from Carthus Gravewarden Skeleton in the Catacombs of Carthus (1-2% chance - based on 100 kills).
- Test 2: 3% Chance (Based on 100 kills with 486 item discovery).
- Addendum: A good place to farm these offline is just outside and to the right of the first Catacombs of Carthus Bonfire. Equip the Crystal Sage Rapier, Symbol of Avarice and switch to a luck build. Run past the rolling skeleton ball and pull the two Gravewarden skeletons into the path of the returning ball. Simply run back to the bonfire, rinse and repeat.
- Test 2: 3% Chance (Based on 100 kills with 486 item discovery).
Notes
- You will earn a Vertebra Shackle after you fulfill your duty when invading as a mad dark spirit (by killing the host of embers or by killing enough phantoms).
- Defeating an invading Mound-Maker as a Host of Embers will reward you with a Vertebra Shackle.
- This does not apply if the invading Mound-Maker invaded by means of White Sign Soapstone.
- You can also earn one by defeating a Mound-Maker as a defending Blade of the Darkmoon, alongside the normal Proof of a Concord Kept. (There may be more ways to earn as a phantom, this is the only one I have experienced).
- You can also earn one by dealing the killing blow to a mad dark spirit as a phantom.
- A cheesy way to farm Vertebra Shackles is to get a friend to summon you via the Red Sign Soapstone and allow you to kill them repeatedly while you are a Mound-Maker. They do not need to have their Ember to summon you, and if they stay near a bonfire they will have no risk of losing any souls they may have. They don't even have to be near your level. Set a password so only they can summon you, and farm away. Profit.
- You may offer these in mutliples of 10 by pressing LB - 10 and +10 RB.
- One may be offered to Pickle Pee, Pump-a-Rum Crow to receive the Lucatiel Mask once per playthrough.
- This item is not able to be given to other players.

lol do this on NG cause i'm overlevelled on NG+ trying to invade for these and everybody's wearing havels and has uber stats. so my only option is to farm, and these are ****ing awful. why tf did they put a mmo grind in an action game, even with maxed discovery on a luck build you probably see 1 shackle for every 3 concords or 5 sunlight medals it's actually so aids

Took me about 3 days of invading while casually going through NG++ at the same time, SL120. It was a lot of fun tbh. If you're just focusing on this by itself, not gonna be fun.

Garbage way to force players into buying console subscriptions because farming these offline are near impossible.
The platinum trophy ain't worth it.

Just go to the ringed city or pontiff and keep on invading and you'll get all 30 eventually. Took me around 4 or 5 hours divided into two sittings. Also pvp is fun so it wasn't that boring. For optimal amounts of invasions either be lvl 120-125 with a +10 weapon or be a lower level with a weapon upgraded to roughly what others around that level would have. A lot of people don't max out their weapons until very late (for some reason) so the optimal weapon level is usually lower than you'd expect. For example lvl 60 with a +5 or 6 weapon or lvl 90 with a +8-9 or 10 weapon.

Almost done farming these offline, just need 2 more. I don’t think it’s mentioned here, but the resetting trick that this site mentions for getting Proofs actually seemed to not help me at all there, but it did wonders for farming shackles. The trick is to wait until you get two shackles, then reset the game, then keep going until you get two more shackles and reset again, over and over. It doesn’t guarantee anything, but I had two recent sittings where I used this method and got 7 shackles in less than an hour. Any time I don’t do this method, deviating in any way, I’ve only gotten one or two even if I work at it for hours
