Octopus Head | Elden Ring Wiki

I spent all day at work thinking about the ocean man technique, so I decided to try it. 107 discovery, set a timer, and got the drop within 23 seconds. 23 seconds… I died laughing, I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in a while.

Submit

I assumed this helm was a joke based on all the Ocean Man comments.

So I went to the octopus site by Alexander's first spawn, put on my item discovery stuff(242 discover), put on Ocean Man, and started farming.

Got the helm from a small one on my second run..

Ocean Man, lead me to the land indeed

Submit

man what kind of magic is this ocean man
I just got 1 drop after 2 minutes with this method
thanks to this community

Submit

Literaly only 20 mins with ocean man in the background...for real

Submit

Guys it’s octopi not octopuses

Submit

Can confirm, turned on ocean man and found this in like 3 minutes.

My first run through Siofra River looking for the helm yielded nothing. However, once I played Ocean Man I was able to find the helmet right before the song ended! Listening to Ocean Man confirmed for legit farming strat

Submit

Can confirm ocean man 1 hour loop will get you it within 10 minutes.

Submit

Made a tuna melt.

Ate it.

Immediately got 4 of these in a row. No joke

Submit

It's a decent helm for a mage looking to cosplay an Oolacile sorcerer. I'm currently looking farming one myself. Best of luck with the drop rate, though.

Submit

The ocean man exploit seems to work even if the video is muted, I got one almost immediately.

Submit

can confirm ocean man works, started it near the end of a temple quarter run and decided to move to saints bridge, one wave of gold later and i picked it up.

Submit

I got 2 in a row the moment I stopped listening to Ocean Man lol

Submit

Imagine the smell

Submit

Nothing for 15 runs. Put Ocean Man on loop, got my tentacle helm the following try. Finished the cycle anyway and got a second one.

Submit

On my 5th run, on my way to do patches assassination request, i got this and i didnt even know it existed.

Submit

Ocean man confirmed, got it first run

Submit

Put on one hour loop of Ocean Man, hopped up to the pond above Saintsbridge. 3 minutes 43 seconds later (3rd clear), I had one.

Submit

Ocean man made my drops worse all the runs i did with it before pretty much all the little dudes were dropping ovaries or strips of white flesh. During ocean man? Nothing

Submit

Ocean man confirmed. Put it on then first run I got the drop.

Submit

An octopus whelp? That's another name for puppy! I am delighted to know that they're called octopus puppies, you can guess what that'd make their mothers called

Submit

I didn't believe this helm was real, I thought the devs were trolling players like they did with the pendant in the first dark souls. I've never seen a white or red shadow of another player wearing one and I've never seen one in coop.

I was farming pinion feathers along the edge of the cliff and on the beach west of the church of Elleh. Before I fast travel back to the grace at the end of each run I kill the giant octopus and land octopus on the beach for the crafting ingredients they drop as well.

I'm not exaggerating in saying I've easily killed over a thousand of the smaller ones whenever they are near me or in my way, they don''t hit hard but they can interrupt any casting and they can be a pain in the arse, so I kill them with a bow whenever they are in my way.

The point is none of those I've killed during my playthrough dropped the octopus head helm. Until last night, one dropped it for me on the beach at Limgrave. It looks a bit odd, it has no hidden passive effect to make it stand out, and its stats as a helm are not that great but I'm wearing it anyway. I'm quite happy to have one.

Submit

Ocean man works. Just confurmed

Submit

Wtf, I thought it was just a joke.. but as soon as I put Ocean Man on it dropped.

Submit

Ocean man actually increases drop rate. Don't doubt it's power.

Submit

Confirmed ocean man works

Submit

DYI Mogh Head

Submit

Was farming for this for 2 hours at saints Bridge and decided to test if playing ocean man helps and can confirm that I then proceeded to get it instantly. 269 discovery

Submit

Behold helm!

But visions of good luck…

Submit

Why doesn't this have the highest strike damage negation?

Submit

I was skeptical at first but then I played ocean man at the saintsbridge site and I literally got it first run..

Submit

Can confirm playing Ocean Man does help. Took about 7 runs at the saintsbridge area. Took me several hours to farm imp heads. Guess this is my karma.

Submit

I went my whole first playthrough not knowing this existed. Now that I've found it in ng+, it is never leaving my head.

Submit

k

Submit

This goes really nicely with the black flame monk armor

Submit

it is a simple fact that you will immediately get this item while farming if you play ocean man lmaooooo i got 2 the second i played it

Submit

3 can be found on a small rock area south of seaside ruins in limgrave for an early farm, I got mine here so I can confirm it drops in this location.

Submit

Ok but listening to ocean man actually works

Submit

I’m getting 2 of everything in the game got one of these on accident and then a play through later I get it again first try I also have 2 noble estocs and noble straight swords I’m pretty lucky no gonna lie

Submit

Mine disappeared in NG+. It's gonna be a ball break to get it back

Submit

I have become John Bloodborne

Submit

seeing as how rare this is it would be if the larger ones ignored you if you wore the little one on your head.
not complaining, just think it would be a neat hidden mechanic.
also car we get a rune bear head helm? that would be cool too.

Submit

In the hidden path to the Haligtree, killing all the little Octopus dudes, I got 2 of them in one site of grace sitting...

I was an Arcane Build with 80 Arcane and a Silver Scarab equipped, but still... I feel so happy.
Now time to sell one of them.

Submit

I've been farming this for hours with no luck... >:O

Submit

The average Albinauric mask fan VS the average octopus head enjoyer

Submit

Perfect for cosplaying eldritch abominations! Thanks Elden Ring

Submit

This+rusty hook+jellyfish shield = ocean man

Submit

Siofra River, took me 5 runs with 243 discovery

Submit

So glad I got this drop. Now my holy paladin is an octopus man and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Submit

Accidentally got this. What does it do?

Submit

Bruh this must be the rarest item in game wtf

Submit

I just had this drop randomly on my fourth playthrough. I knew the Black Dumpling existed, but this... came as a surprise. Praise the head!

Submit

farmed this for a bit with no luck
switched locations and put Ocean Man on in the background
got the drop right as the song ended
10/10 game

Submit

got this by just killing the first 2 octopus in hidden path to the haligtree with wave of gold

Submit

Siofra River. Open the map and you see a capital letter F made by the bridge above. There's about 20+ Land Octopus between the fork part of the F. Clear them with Sacred Relic Sword.

Submit

"Octopus head is an *incredibly* fashionable helm in elden ring"

You don't say?

Submit

Got it when farming a small lake south of Tombsward Site of Grace, handy place because you can get ~10 Gold Firefly at the same time, took 6-7 runs, 274 discovery.

Submit

Going to start using an elder one build. This + dragon occult seal + any flame-throwing incantations = wrathful lovecraftian horror!! Have fun cosplaying this helmet with your friends.

Submit

with this, my pirate set up is complete. Rusty Anchor, Jar Cannon and maybe the leather armor set

Submit

this plus the finger maiden dress and madness spells is perfect for a winter lantern cosplay

Submit

Squidward of catarina confirmed.

Submit

My theory is it will as an additional I-frame on rolls. Hoping it gets tested to find out more

Submit

Does this helm actually reduce strike damage as the discription suggests? "Those who can withstand the smell will find its organic elasticity excellent for negating strikes."

Has anyone tested strike reduction?

Submit

I farmed the big and small variants near the Temple Quarter grace until I had nearly 300 ovaries with no drop. Tried the Hidden Path to the Haligtree and got it within 5 tries. Not sure if it’s just a much higher drop rate with these two or if I’m unlucky, but something to keep in mind if you’re trying to get this piece.

Submit

at first thought it was just from giant octopus but then got it from the little ones after farming the two big ones in limgraves for lol oops shouldve checked first

Submit

142 ovaries in so far and no helmet but it's worthit for a the jiggle physics

Submit

Hidden Path to Haligtree grace site has 2 land octopus about 10 feet from the grace site. Pop a Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot, kill them and run back to the grace site.
It took me 7 minutes to get it to drop with the silver scarab, silver tear mask, silver foot, and arcane of 23.

Submit

I finally found it. My Illithid madness monk is complete! THAT'S MIND TAKIN' BABY!

Submit

Got this drop on my very first Giant Land Octopus kill, attempting to equip it crashes the game.

Submit

I run around limgrave with this on!

Submit

I found this, came here hoping there was a whole set of octopus stuff, and now I am upset that there isn't.

Submit

Grant me eyes

Submit

I got by accident from just messing around

Submit

forsenJAM waves keep on washing over me forsenJAM swim out swim out forsenJAM glide into the open forsenJAM cool are the currents of the sea forsenJAM swim out swim out forsenJAM deep into the ocean forsenJAM

Submit

Temple Quarter in Liurnia has like 15 small octopus nearby.

Submit

got it from a small octopus compeltely random.

Submit

Got this by accident when picking up the serpent god's greatsword. Put it on my head and immeidately said "This is so gross, I love it"

Submit

Best part is the fact that you even get a little beak :D

Submit

111 ovaries and 39 strips of white flesh later I can definitively confirm that the small octopusses can drop this item, severed tentacles do NOT drop ANY item (tested with item discovery maxed on every tentacle in Liurnia 4x per octopi, twice. That anon must have hit a hidden small one), octopodes not on the beach can drop it despite the current description (confirmed at pond south of Saintsbridge/Deathtouched Catacombs), and the drop rate is ~2%.

Best of luck with the Ocean Man cosplay, I've found it looks great with blue-grey skin and the Mushroom set.

Submit

Farmed the octopuses outside of Coastal Cave on the western coast of Limgrave. It dropped from a small one. Took a few hours of farming but it was worth it because not only is it an octopus on your head... It also has jiggle physics!

Submit

This **** right here, it's peak fashion!

Submit

Ocean man, take me by the hand
Lead me to the land that you understand

Submit

Dropped from a small octopus for me. So you don’t have to just try to farm the big guys for this.

Submit

Where's the best place to farm this? I know the pond south of the Saintsbridge site in Limgrave has a decent amount of octopi (around 8 or so) but I haven't gotten the head yet.

Submit

I pray to god either it’s just a head or I get to me a cathullu monster

Submit

Got it from cutting off one of the land octopus's tentacle.

Submit

Dropped by land octopus confirmed. idk how to edit lol
