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.

Posted Jan 12, 2022This 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.

Posted Sep 26, 2022The 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

Posted Jan 31, 2023Theoretically, 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
