For the dragon priest, see Krosis.

Krosis (Dragon Language: , "Sorrow") is a dragon priest mask found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Acquisition

This dragon mask can be acquired from Krosis, one of the eight named dragon priests of Skyrim, upon his death. He can be encountered at the Dragon Lair of Shearpoint in the company of a leveled dragon, typically perched atop the word wall.

Enchantment

Krosis is enchanted with a 20% bonus to Lockpicking, Archery, and Alchemy. This translates to increasing these skills by 20 points when wearing the mask:

• Fortify Lockpicking: 20 points
• Fortify Archery: 20 points
• Fortify Alchemy: 20 points

Smithing

It can be upgraded with an iron ingot at a workbench, and also benefits from the Daedric Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.

Usefulness

This mask is ideal for those playing as thieves, as its enchantments and light armor classification fall under it. In particular, Argonians, Bosmer, and Khajiit may find it more valuable, since they are more naturally inclined to stealth than other races. The mask is also good for other races that wish to use stealth skills peripherally to more combat- or magic-oriented gameplay.
