AnonymousThe game sure gives you a lot of these for how rarely they're actually useful.

It actually does make sound, but holy hell does it have to be close to the enemy for them to hear it break, and you can't even manually aim it. The only real use I found for this is when I'm hiding in flora, I can lock on to an enemy and throw it at them, making them come toward my direction out of suspicion. When they turn around to go back to where they were, I go for the kill.

Not all that useful since Sekiro throws it about as far as an elementary school girl

This is another instance of From Software putting misleading crap in item descriptions. The 'satisfying crack' of it breaking does NOTHING to alert enemies whatsoever. This is a Bloodborne style Pebble, nothing more. Toss it at an enemy to lure them towards you; useful for getting the occasional stealth kill, and not much else besides.

Don't be like basically every single person that first got this item. Don't treat it like the empty magazine in Metal Gear Solid. Treat it like the stone from Bloodborne. It produces zero sound when thrown at an enemies feet.

So... anyone find out how to actually use these effectively without having to jiggle your char around to get the right angle?
It's amazing how underrated this item is in the comments for how brutally effective it is at thinning crowds and even backstab-cheesing much tougher mobs, especially if you even remotely know how to manually aim it (pro tip: it's the same way you manually aim pots in Elden Ring, albeit with a straighter arc). Now if only I knew what mobs dropped it the most in the early-game so I could farm it out...
