In-game description

A skull with meekly lingering souls.
Throw to shatter and spread souls to
attract certain types of enemies.

Souls are a concentration of life, and the
life-starved Hollows are lured by its power.
Not effective for all enemies.

Where to find

Merchant purchase

Firelink aqueduct / Lower Undead Burg

Cost: 500 Souls · Stock: ∞

Requirements

  • Keep the female Undead Merchant alive and friendly.
  1. Use the Basement Key from Undead Parish to open the Lower Burg descent near the Hellkite bridge. Continue past the dogs and assassin ambushes toward the Capra Demon fog.
  2. Take the stairs beside that fog down toward the Depths entrance. Follow the adjoining tower stairs up to the aqueduct passage.
  3. Speak through the bars to the merchant, then open the nearby shortcut door back toward Firelink. Her stall can be revisited through that shortcut.
  4. Buy Alluring Skull from the female Undead Merchant's purchase menu.

Merchant purchase

Royal Wood

Cost: 800 Souls · Stock: ∞

Requirements

  • Access Artorias of the Abyss.
  • Keep Marvellous Chester alive and friendly.
  1. Free Dusk in Darkroot Basin and obtain the Broken Pendant from the first Crystal Golem in the Duke's Archives. Return to Dusk's cave, use the portal and defeat Sanctuary Guardian.
  2. Cross Royal Wood to the stone arena where Artorias waits. Before entering the boss fog, cross the nearby bridge and find Chester leaning against the wall. Speak to him and open his shop.
  3. Buy Alluring Skull from Marvellous Chester's purchase menu.
  • Killing the real Chester removes this shop. His separate invading phantom is a different encounter.

Treasure pickup

Undead Parish boar courtyard

  1. Reach the courtyard with the armored boar before the Parish church. Take the right-hand stairs up to the crossbow Hollows on the walkway above it.
  2. Clear the shooters and collect the skulls from the corpse on that upper walkway. You can throw one toward the courtyard fire to draw the boar into it.

Notes

  • Lure: Throw to distract susceptible enemies toward the impact point. Hollows and the early armored boar are useful targets; many enemies and bosses ignore it.
  • Limits: The distraction lasts briefly and does not guarantee safety if you stand beside the lure. It does not prevent attacks from enemies outside its effective area.
  • Not a spell: Uses an inventory item rather than an Attunement slot. Aural Decoy has a different set of enemies that respond to it.
