| Effect | Cursed, causes permanent confusion on wearer. |
The mask is cursed, causing the wearer to be permanently confused and not able to cast spells outside of battle. However, it provides an amazingly high Defense boost of +255. It is found in the Cave Northeast of Jipang.
Despite causing confusion, the mask is actually of immense value in solo playthroughs, due to the fact that a befuddled character will never strike themselves. This makes the mask particularly valuable for players who wish to either speedrun the game or simply defeat Zoma with a single character.
A shop will pay one single gold coin for it, but this is a horrible waste of a golden opportunity.
