About this armor
Weighs 8.6 and provides 12 poise. Include the weight of your weapons and talismans when checking your equip load.
Its elemental protection is strongest against fire (4.9) and weakest against lightning (4.5). Choose the piece around the damage you are facing.
Costs 1,000 runes from the merchant described below. The shop has one copy of this piece, so resting does not refill it after purchase.
In-game description
Iron mask forced on a prisoner convicted of an appalling crime.
Thick, heavy, and utterly stifling.
A foul creation designed to torment the wearer, either slowly fermenting hatred within their heart, or a spiritual fervor that is near indistinguishable from it.
Where to find
Merchant beneath the ruins
Ainsel River
Starting Site of Grace: Ainsel River Sluice Gate
Before you go
- Have 1,000 runes.
- Find Ainsel River Well on eastern Liurnia's high ground and ride its lift underground. Activate Ainsel River Well Depths grace at the bottom.
- Take the tunnel guarded by giant ants, rather than the dead-end water passage. Watch the ceiling and draw the ants down separately if you want to fight them.
- At the first lit fork, take the right branch. Continue into the room with piles of corpses, then follow the passage toward the stone sluice structure.
- Climb the stone ramp and cross the bridge. Activate Ainsel River Sluice Gate grace in the cave ahead, then take the nearby lift down into Uhl Palace Ruins.
- Pass the slow Claymen and go through the large entrance into the next cavern. The hanging creature above the far ruin fires volleys across the room. Move between ruined walls and pillars for cover, then enter the sheltered room directly beneath it.
- The merchant is inside that room, beside the Ainsel River map pickup. You do not need to defeat the Dragonkin Soldier or advance Ranni's quest to reach this shop.
- Open Purchase and buy Prisoner Iron Mask for 1,000 runes.
Prisoner starting equipment
- Choose Prisoner when creating your character to begin with Prisoner Iron Mask.
Notes
- Weighs 8.6 and provides 12 poise. Include the weight of your weapons and talismans when checking your equip load.
- Its elemental protection is strongest against fire (4.9) and weakest against lightning (4.5). Choose the piece around the damage you are facing.
- Costs 1,000 runes from the merchant described below. The shop has one copy of this piece, so resting does not refill it after purchase.
- Has no passive attribute or attack bonus and cannot be reinforced with Smithing Stones. Mixing it with other armor does not remove a matching-set bonus.
- The iron mask weighs 8.6, more than the clothing and trousers combined at 5.2. Replacing it is a useful way to reduce equip load without removing the rest of the outfit.
