About this armor

The extra point can help meet an Arcane requirement. It only improves weapon damage or eligible status buildup when the equipment actually scales with Arcane; it does not add universal bleed buildup.

In-game description
Mask in the image of a white-haired young noble.
Customarily worn by the head of House Marais.
Increases arcane.
The Marais family has a dual history spanning generations, serving as both executioners and castellans of the Shaded Castle. This mask bears the likeness of the first of their line.
Where to find
Maleigh Marais west of The Shaded Castle
Altus Plateau
Starting Site of Grace: Shaded Castle Ramparts
- From Erdtree-Gazing Hill in Altus Plateau, ride east down into the valley, then follow it north between the cliffs. Stay on the lower ground rather than climbing toward Mt. Gelmir's campsites.
- When you reach the castle swamp, go around the outside to the west instead of climbing inside. Find Maleigh Marais on the open ground west of the walls, near the giant golem.
- Defeat Maleigh for the mask and robe. You do not need to defeat Elemer inside the castle for these two pieces, and the golem is not the opponent that drops them.
Notes
- Raises Arcane by 1 while worn. The robe is not required for the attribute bonus.
- The extra point can help meet an Arcane requirement. It only improves weapon damage or eligible status buildup when the equipment actually scales with Arcane; it does not add universal bleed buildup.

- Dropped with the robe by Maleigh Marais outside the Shaded Castle. It is separate from Enia's Briar armor shop after Elemer.
