Pearl's Pearl is an item exclusive to DST, introduced in Return of Them. It can be obtained from the Crabby Hermit by following her questline.

Its main purpose is to be socketed into the Crab King for the boss fight. Socketing the pearl buffs the Crab King significantly, but it makes the King drop the Inactive Celestial Tribute. When the Crab King is defeated, Pearl's Pearl turns into a Cracked Pearl.

WX-78’s quote for the Cracked Pearl may be a reference to the Call of Duty death message when the player dies from falling.
