A new Skyrim mod inspired by Stone Masks of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure turns Dragon Priest skins into a freaking JJBA cosplay. An overhaul of the RPG gameplay transforms simple armor skins into powerful and dangerous artifacts that bond with the wearer and imbue them with the spirit of dragon priests.
Creator Grascid’s Curse of the Dragon Priests mod takes inspiration from the popular manga and anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, specifically the stone masks that appear in its first two episodes. Like the JJBA skins, these new Skyrim skins cannot be simply equipped from your inventory. Instead, when activated, the mask is forcibly bonded to your face, “causing the Dragon Priest to possess and completely change your flesh.”
The longer you wear the mask, the more its power will increase, reaching 4 times the base power and in some cases gaining additional effects. For example, the Volsung mask, which gives you additional cargo weight, lower store prices, and underwater breathing, also adds the ability to walk on water from the third growth stage. Making the wearer immune to all forms of disease and poison, the Mask of Hevnorak also improves the effectiveness of your armor as it grows stronger.
It’s not all fun and games: the mod’s description warns that, if left unchecked, the dragon priests’ influence can eventually “leave you a soulless shell if you let the mask (and, by extension, the dragon priest) grow too “. powerful.” Once the mask reaches its most powerful form, there is a random chance that the corresponding mask’s priest will take full possession of your body, causing you to become a disembodied soul.
In this state, you must fight a full-powered Demon Priest (yes, they are full-fledged Demon Priests now) in a battle to regain your corporeal form. If that seems too intimidating, you can try unmasking your face first, but it’s not an easy process; after all, you let this thing stick to your head forever. Removing it requires an exorcism process using a release spell that causes the ghostly demon priest to be banished from your being, in which case it must be defeated (though hopefully at a lower power level than otherwise). ).
It’s not all fun and games once it’s over. Even successfully removing the mask (remove seems like a lame term for what we just described, honestly, but you know what we mean) leaves you with debuffs that mirror the benefits the cursed artifact previously granted you. . After all, such power comes at a price, and wielding these dangerous relics drains your life force.
It’s a fantastic risk-reward system that highlights the greedy power-hungry JJBA’s Dio Brando, who wields the power of the Stone Mask in the events of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. We certainly know how tempting this ever-increasing flow of power can be, but be careful how deep you go…
If you want to become even stronger, one of the Skyrim mods will allow you to transform into a dragon. If you prefer to work on your skills, another mod for Skyrim turns the College of Winterhold into a real school. If you’re looking for a safer way to unlimited power, our list of Skyrim console commands and cheats should give you what you want in an open world game; just remember that with great power comes great responsibility.
