There are a lot of cool helmets and headpieces inElden Ring, but few are as grossly incandescent as theRadiant Gold Mask, worn by the eponymous,ever-brilliant Goldmask. This talkative, energetic character wears simple clothes to contrast the ornate mask in an ensemble that every Faith player surely covets.

Thankfully, players don’t have to kill Goldmask to get his set, unlike most NPCs inElden Ring. Instead, his mask and clothes are found in two separate locations: the mask is found near the beginning of his questline, and the rest of his set is found at the very end.
Goldmask’s Armor Set Passive Effects And Stats
Goldmask’s Setis not so much “armor” as it is clothes. Goldmask dedicates himself full-time to wiggling his finger and studying the Golden Order, so he has little time for Elden Bling. It’s ironic, then, that he has arguably the most iconic headpiece inElden Ring. While the rest of his armor set has no passive effects, the Radiant Gold Mask can bevery useful for certain builds.
The Radiant Gold Mask has the passive bonus of enhancing Golden Order Incantations by about 10%. Fundamentalist Incantations include many versions of Rings of Light, Order Healing and Law of Regression, and Order’s Blade and Immutable Shield. Players going for a 50/50 split between Faith and Int can make good use of the Radiant Gold Mask, though because many Golden Order Incantations are strict debuffs that don’t scale, it only increases damage output for the Rings spells and the effectiveness of Immutable Shield and Order’s Blade.
How To Get Goldmask’s Armor Set (And The Radiant Gold Mask)
The Radiant Gold Mask is found separately from the rest of Goldmask’s simple armor set. In the Altus Plateau, head to the north side of the Writheblood Ruins and the sunken area to find half of a greatbridge jutting out over the landscape. This iswhere players first meet Goldmaskat the end of the bridge. Drop off the end to lower platforms here to find the Radiant Gold Mask on a body - don’t drop all the way or you’ll miss it as it’s found on one of these ledges.
The rest of Goldmask’s armor set is found at the very end of his questline. Without spoiling too manydetails ofElden Ring’s endgame, you find Goldmask’s armor set near the Leyndell Colosseum for a second time after the Royal Capital has changed. Goldmask will only spawn here for a second time if you have solved the Statue of Radagon puzzle and progressed his questline past the Mountaintops of Giants.
