Every shield guardian has an amulet magically linked to it. A shield guardian can have only one corresponding amulet, and if that amulet is destroyed, the shield guardian is incapacitated until a replacement amulet is created.
A shield guardian’s amulet is subject to direct attack if it isn’t being worn or carried. It has AC 10, 10 hit points, and immunity to poison and psychic damage. Crafting an amulet requires 1 week and costs 1,000 gp in components.
A shield guardian’s solitary focus is to protect the amulet’s wearer. The amulet’s wearer can command the guardian to attack its enemies or to guard the wielder against attack. If an attack threatens to injure the wearer, the construct can magically absorb the blow into its own body, even at a distance.
Do you have to make the Shield Guardian Separately or What
yes
ok just curious
Is this different than the other amulet?
Is this in the DMG? Too lazy to look right now.
The source is at the bottom right beside the picture (on the right)
Do you have to wear or carry this amulet so it is easily visible?
how much is the shield guardian
This item is very cool and one of my favorites, but I have a hard time finding where it is supposed to be, here it says it's in the basic rules, but when I Ctrl + F the PDF I only find the amulet of health, Amulet of the planes and the Amulet of Proof against Detection and Location, furthermore the stat block for the shield guardian is listed in many books but none of them have the description for the master's amulet.
I can't seem to find this in any book I have looked everywhere DMG, MM, RotFM, etc. does anyone know where it is?

Its existence as a magic item is inferred. According to the linked thread, it isn't described in print anywhere.
When the guardian is reduced to 0 hp, what happens? Destroyed? Returns to amulet for 7 days?
The most logical price seems to be 5000, the cost for a rate magic item. The reason why I think that is that the amulet itself only costs 1000 gold, so presumedly the shield guardian is the actual rare magic item.
If course, that would be really cheap for creating a cr 7 creature in my opinion. Most of the time you’d probably need to find the materials, if not just the guardian itself, rather than make them yourself.
edit: the price is confirmed on the wiki, although it requires special knowledge and a suitable lab
This isn't even attunment! Good lords this item is lovely
Theoretically, like it says in the guardians sheet.
It comes to you, so its a free guardian, But for all sakes and purposes. Who knows what it might bring with it
