Idol's Chime is a Sacred Chime and one of the available Weapons in Dark Souls 2. Idol's Chime serves as a catalyst for Miracles and Hexes. You can acquire it by either speaking to Licia of Lindelt with at least 30 Faith or by killing her during your first encounter with her or when invading with the Crushed Eye Orb. The Idol's Chime is considered the earliest hex-dedicated chime that players can obtain if they raise their faith enough. When combined with Felkin's hexes, it can be very powerful. However, it is not as effective as the Dark Black Witch's Staff or Dark Caitha's Chime.

Sacred chime of Licia of Lindelt. A catalyst for miracles and hexes.

In any town there will be a few folk with unusual urges. They either endeavor to resist these urges, or act upon them out of the view of others. The world is not so welcoming they may bare their souls true. 

How to get Idol's Chime in Dark Souls 2

• Speak to Licia of Lindelt with at least 30 Faith. (base faith, Ring of prayers +5 boost does not count)

DS2 Idol's Chime Hints and Tips

• The earliest hex-dedicated chime you can obtain if you raise your faith enough. Combine it with Felkin's hexes and it can potentially be very powerful.

• Oddly, the bashing damage is higher than Caitha's Chime.
• Upgraded with Twinkling Titanite
