<\/figure>\n

Powerful undead who once served the Dragon Cult, Dragon Priests rank among\u00a0Skyrim’s<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>most difficult enemies. Armed with high resistances and powerful spells, battling them is a challenge for every player\u2014but the rewards are often worth it. Each Dragon Priest wears a mask bearing his name and offering a powerful enchantment.<\/p>\n

These effects range from simple stat boosts to near-godlike properties.\u00a0Players may find masks to be more or less\u00a0helpful depending on their play style,\u00a0main skills, and armor preferences. However, some Dragon Priest masks have more\u00a0practical applications than others. From worst to best, here’s a list of every Dragon Priest mask in\u00a0Skyrim<\/em> and their effects.<\/p>\n

13 <\/span>Morokei<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Found during the College of Winterhold questline<\/a> and boasting a 100% magicka regeneration increase, Morokei looks pretty appealing to mages. However, the single-effect enchantment pales in comparison to some of the other Dragon Priest masks. Additionally,\u00a0its armor rating is by far the lowest of any mask, at a measly 5 points.<\/p>\n

Plenty of items provide a Regenerate Magicka boost, usually with additional effects as well. The Archmage’s Robes, for example, bear\u00a0the same\u00a0effect as Morokei in addition to +50 magicka and reduced casting cost for all spells.<\/p>\n

12 <\/span>Miraak<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

For such a formidable foe, Miraak’s Dragon Priest mask is a little disappointing. Increasing the wearer’s magicka by 40-70 points, it can certainly be useful; however, like Morokei,\u00a0this enchantment is far from unique.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0Skyrim: How To Obtain Miraak’s Sword<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean Miraak’s mask is inconsequential. It manifests as either light or heavy armor, depending on which of the player’s skills is higher. Both the light and heavy versions boast the highest armor rating of any headgear of their type. However, unlike\u00a0every other mask, Miraak cannot be improved through smithing, rendering this distinction moot.<\/p>\n

11 <\/span>Rahgot<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Found in the ancient tomb of Forelhost, Rahgot provides the\u00a0Dragonborn with an additional 70 points of stamina.\u00a0Like all Dragon Priest masks in the heavy armor class (except for Miraak and Konahrik), Rahgot boasts the same armor rating as a Daedric helmet.<\/p>\n

The enchantment is nothing to sneeze at, and can be extremely useful for power attackers, archers,\u00a0or any heavy-armored character. Yet, like Morokei, Rahgot’s single effect is a bit of a letdown compared to some of the other mask enchantments.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Hevnoraak<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Whether it’s crippling Rockjoint or a chaurus’ acid attack, disease and poison can cripple the Dragonborn in tough fights. Hevnoraak prevents both, giving players two less things to worry about as they pick their way through trap-filled crypts.<\/p>\n

For players strong enough to defeat a Dragon Priest, though, disease and poison\u00a0usually aren’t huge concerns. Potions of Cure Disease are cheap, while poisons can be weathered with high HP. However,\u00a0this mask can be useful when playing through\u00a0Dawnguard<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0for those who wish to\u00a0avoid Sanguinaire Vampiris.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Vokun<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This mask decreases the cost of Alteration, Conjuration, and Illusion spells by 20%. As such, it\u00a0can prove useful for mages\u2014but mages generally don’t favor heavy armor<\/a>. In fact, many Alteration users\u00a0prefer\u00a0the Mage Armor perk,\u00a0making protection spells like Stoneflesh up to three times as powerful if the caster wears no armor.<\/p>\n

Battlemage-style wizards may find this\u00a0piece of heavy\u00a0headgear useful; however, such builds tend to favor Destruction over other magics. Thus, while Vokun bears helpful enchantments, its utility is limited based on play style.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>\u00a0Zahkriisos<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Dragon Priest Masks of Solstheim bear similar effects, but for different elements. In his attack spells\u00a0as well as\u00a0his mask’s enchantments, Zahkriisos focuses on shock.\u00a0His mask provides a 50% resistance to this element, while\u00a0increasing all shock\u00a0damage by 25%\u2014including damage done by weapon enchantments.<\/p>\n

Since shock spells consume the most magicka of the Destruction elements, Zahkriisos helps give mages an extra bang for their buck. However, shock is the least common magic encountered in\u00a0Skyrim<\/em>, making shock resistance less useful than fire or frost.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Dukaan<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Dukaan yields the same effect as Zahkriisos, but for frost instead of shock. Considering the stamina drain and maddening slowed movement of frost spells, as well as their frequency in the game, frost resistance can be highly advantageous.<\/p>\n

Enemies weak to frost are rare in the frigid land of Skyrim; however, what with the damaging frost effects named above,\u00a0the Augmented Frost effect\u00a0can still come in handy. For\u00a0mages or\u00a0players with a frost-enchanted weapon,\u00a0Dukaan provides an extra edge\u00a0against foes who rely on stamina.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Ahzidal<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The most menacing<\/a> of the Solstheim Dragon Priests, Ahzidal’s element is fire. His mask provides the same resistance and damage boost as the others do for their respective elements.<\/p>\n

Fire is the most common Destruction element encountered. For many players, it’s also the most dangerous, causing lingering damage and leaving the Dragonborn more vulnerable to attacks from weapons. Thus, fire is often the most useful resistance.\u00a0Additionally, Ahzidal\u00a0provides an advantage\u00a0for vampires trying to offset their fire weakness,\u00a0and for any player wielding Destruction magic or a flaming sword.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Volsung<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One of few masks in the Light Armor category,\u00a0Volsung grants waterbreathing, 20% better prices, and a +20 increase to carry weight. Its enchantments are more situational than some others, but for players who love to pick up and sell off everything they see, it’s handy to have around.<\/p>\n

Along with Krosis, Volsung has the highest base armor rating<\/a> of any light headgear in the base game, at 21 points. Meanwhile, a Dragonscale helmet, the highest-rated craftable light headgear, ranks at only 17.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Krosis<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Obtaining this mask is no easy feat. Atop Shearpoint, the Dragonborn fights not only the Dragon Priest Krosis, but a leveled dragon as well.\u00a0The battle, however, is well worth the reward: a mask bearing three\u00a0highly useful\u00a0enchantments.<\/p>\n

Providing a 20% boost to alchemy, lockpicking, and archery, Krosis is\u00a0indispensable\u00a0to thieves. It\u00a0is tied with Volsung for the highest armor rating of any\u00a0light headgear, and can be upgraded with ever-plentiful iron ingots. All things considered, it’s incredibly valuable for any light-armored character.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Nahkriin<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Mages are often characterized as fragile in fantasy RPGs, sacrificing defense for magical offense. This heavy-armor mask is incredibly beneficial\u00a0for players looking to challenge that assumption. Nahkriin’s enchantment boosts magicka by 50 points, while decreasing the cost of all Restoration and Destruction spells by 20%.<\/p>\n

Like some others, Nahkriin’s utility is a bit limited by play style, as few mages use heavy armor. However, for players looking to build a powerful battlemage<\/a>, this mask is an indispensable piece of gear.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Otar<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Made to be worn by powerful wizards, many of the Dragon Priest masks focus on enhancing magical abilities, and\u00a0may not be as useful for players who don’t focus on magic. Otar, on the other hand, is useful for any play style.<\/p>\n

Providing a 30% resistance to fire, frost, and shock, this mask raises magical defenses in every area and can prove especially helpful when fighting other Dragon Priests. Most Dragon Priest\u00a0masks appeal to specific builds; Otar, meanwhile is an invaluable\u00a0asset for any heavy-armored Dragonborn.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Konahrik<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Konahrik is obtained a bit differently than the rest.\u00a0After collecting all eight masks in the base game, the player must\u00a0travel to Labyrinthian and place all the other masks on a unique shrine. Only then is Konahrik available.<\/p>\n

If the player falls below 15% health, this mask has a 15% chance to cast Grand Healing and Flame Cloak, replenishing HP and damaging nearby enemies.\u00a0Besides\u00a0rendering the wearer near-immortal<\/a>,\u00a0it also includes a 3% chance to summon a spectral Dragon Priest ally. Lastly, Konahrik boasts the highest armor rating of any headgear in the base game.<\/p>\n
