Troubleshooting
Enia does not give the pouch
Confirm two shardbearer Great Runes are in your Key Items and exhaust Enia's dialogue at Roundtable Hold.
I missed a pouch
Later progression safeguards may make a missed pouch available through the Twin Maiden Husks; check their shop after the relevant boss state.
