Greathood

A standalone, oversized hood. It is medium weight for a head piece and has strong magic and holy defence. It raises both Intelligence and Faith but lowers maximum HP, so it is aimed at hybrid casters.

Where to find it

The reward for solving the Sorcerer painting puzzle on the Mountaintops of the Giants. The spot to view it from is a bridge north-west of Stargazer’s Ruins; the hood appears on the ground once you reach the painter’s spirit.

Item description & lore

Notes & tips

  • Worn by Esgar, Priest of Blood.
  • The large hood slightly blocks your view.
  • Because the HP penalty is a percentage, it hurts more the higher your Vigor is.
