An ugly effigy of the deity of destruction.[1]

The mendacious statue is located on lowest basement of the Sea Cave. It is guarded by two wrecktors who must be defeated prior to receiving the item. The False Idol is used to open the Cave to Rendarak. It should be used while standing in front of where the entrance is hidden to reveal the cave.
