Unlike other legendary gem, it can only be inserted in the helm slot. Doing also gives you a special transmog. (Obviously a reference to the Diablo 1 ending that the hero plunged the soulstone into his own head.) Its AoE damage is decent. However, the proc rate is quite low it is on a long timer. Also, every time it procs, the player character is stunned briefly.
Wirt's Leg:
- Check the corpses in Tristam for hints (optional)
- Find the Black Mushroom in labyrinth level 9 (0:36) and get the Rotten Mushroom.
- With the Rotten Mushroom in your inventory, go back to Tristram, then go east and find Adria's hut. Click the cauldron to get the Witch's Brew.
- Go back to Tristram and click on the corpses one by one according to the hints. Finally Griswold's corpse drops the plan for Wirt's Leg.
- Learn the plan at the blacksmith. Craft the Wirt's Leg (it is a mace) and you get the new transmog.
Royal Calf:
- Salvage the Wirt's Leg to get Map of the Stars.
- Go to Tristam, follow the east road and find the corpses of three cows.
- Click the corpses in order according to the hint of the Map of the Stars: 2, 1, 3: which means middle, left, then right. The entrance to Abandoned Farmstead appears.
- Enter the Abandoned Farmstead. A chest is in the center of the area containing the Royal Calf pet. Right click the Royal Calf pet to add it to your pet collections.

It is dropped by the special event Diablo (not the normal Diablo in act 4) in the 4th video above.

Enjoy!
The Red Soul Shard gem doesn't have a proc rate, it's on a timer.
Me and GF equipped them roughly at the same time, and consistently for hours mine would go off a second after hers.
Also a word of warning, do not put it in leoric's Crown, damage isn't boosted and it costs 50k to remove.
Oh great, I put it in Leoric's Crown on my DH. I should remove, even though it costs a lot?
Good stuff. Here is the icy veins guide I used (I had nothing to do with making it- just reposting here).

"Son, you got a panty on your head..."
Woah, nearly missed the royal calf! That would have annoyed me... Thanks for the heads up!
