The Mask of the Father is a unique piece of head armor in Dark Souls.
In-Game Description
- One of the three masks of the Pinwheel, the necromancer who stole the power of the Gravelord, and reigns over the Catacombs.
- This mask, belonging to the valiant father, slightly raises equipment load.
Availability
- Dropped (at a one in three chance) from the Pinwheel boss fight at the end of the Catacombs.
- Rare drop from the Pinwheel Servants in front of Gravelord Nito's tomb.
- Sold for 8,000 souls by Patches once he becomes a vendor at Firelink Shrine.
Characteristics
The Mask of the Father increases the player's maximum equipment burden by 5% (down from 15% pre-patch 1.06). However, it offers negligible defense and cannot be upgraded.
The Mask of the Father's burden increase perk stacks with those of other items: Havel's Ring (+50% equip burden) and the Ring of Favor and Protection (+20%). These effects stack multiplicatively rather than additively, which can make for very potent armor combinations. This is often employed as a build strategy for characters with high Endurance, as they can obtain heavy defenses and immense Poise while retaining speed and mobility.
Upgrades
Cannot be reinforced.
