Acquired From

• Griggs of Vinheim

Notes

• The effect is similar to the Alluring Skull, but it affects a larger variety of enemy types.
• A laughing sound can be heard from the location of the impact, which will divert the targets attention and attacks toward it.
• When used against Shield and Spear Soldiers, they will often turn their backs against the caster, leaving them open to a backstab.
• Aural Decoy is helpful in the Tomb of the Giants when trying to obtain the Large Divine Ember from the room full of giant skeletons if using a bow/magic to take them out from safety.
• Aural Decoy is also very useful against the giant sentinels in Anor Londo, often disrupting their attack patterns and also causing them to turn around, which exposes them to easy attacks from behind.
