Stone Mask

The Stone Mask is a mask made of Jade used in ancient rituals where the heart of a victim was offered to a dark god.

Game specific informationEdit

Castlevania: Symphony of the NightEdit

The mask first appeared in Symphony of the Night, where it gives Defense +2 and an Intelligence boost of +4. This is the same amount of defense that the other mask in the game, the Ballroom Mask, gives, although the latter doesn't give an INT boost.

Castlevania: Lament of InnocenceEdit

It's called Jade Mask in Lament of Innocence, where it can be used to cause candles to be destroyed by simply walking into them, making the collection of hearts much easier. This is available at Rinaldo's shop for 999 gold after the player beats the game, saves, and loads the cleared save file.

Castlevania: Curse of DarknessEdit

It also appeared in Curse of Darkness, where it gives both Strength and Constitution +5 and Defense +2, but it's also cursed and reduces Luck by 5. It can be created by combining Jade with Sun Tears. The Stone Mask can be immediately evolved to a Face Guard, which only gives +3 Defense and therefore has no use at this point of the game. The Stone Mask ultimately can evolve into a Masakado's Helm, which is a much improved version of the Stone Mask (STR +15, CON +10, DEF +10, LCK -10), or to a Pumpkin Mask, which can evolve to the Pumpkin Mace needed to gain the Pumpkin innocent devil. You should wait until you have all the materials necessary to evolve the Stone Mask to the Masakado's Mask before evolving it into anything else, since you will likely have no reason to equip any of the intermediate items.

Weapon CombiningEdit

The evolution is 1 Stone Mask + 1 Gano (2 Bronze + 1 Aluminum) → Face Guard (DEF +3) + 1 Spirit of Fuji → Tengu Mask (DEF +5) + Nodachi (1 Steel + 1 Spirit of Fuji + 1 Ancient Memory + 1 Wild Memory) → Topknot (DEF +1) + 1 Adamantine → Masakado's Helm.

Castlevania: Portrait of RuinEdit

Only Jonathan can equip the Stone Mask in Portrait of Ruin. It gives him Defense +3 and Luck +1. It can be compared to the Ballroom Masque, which instead of increasing Luck increases INT by 1 (and also gives a DEF +4). In this game, it's the Skull Mask the one which is cursed, which increases DEF greatly by 13, but at the cost of -3 to INT, MND and LCK.

Castlevania: Harmony of DespairEdit

The Stone Mask offers significant protection against Earth-based attacks in Harmony of Despair.
