Type Head Armor

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

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.
