The Mask Fragment: Right is a crucial key item obtained from Pot Noble Harunaga in exchange for Treasure Carp Scales. This fragment, when combined with its counterpart, allows Sekiro to unlock powerful new abilities, making it a vital collectible for character progression and combat effectiveness.
Acquiring the Mask Fragment: Right
The Mask Fragment: Right can be purchased from Pot Noble Harunaga. He is a merchant found in various locations throughout the game, often near bodies of water where Treasure Carp reside. To trade with him, you will need to collect Treasure Carp Scales, which are dropped by defeated Treasure Carp. The Mask Fragment: Right costs 7 Treasure Carp Scales.
Where to Find Pot Noble Harunaga
Pot Noble Harunaga's location can vary. One common spot is in the waters near the Mibu Village area. Keep an eye out for his distinctive pot and the shimmering scales of the Treasure Carp. Other Pot Nobles may also appear in different regions as you progress.
What are Treasure Carp Scales?
Treasure Carp are special, elusive fish found in specific bodies of water. They are typically encountered in areas like the Sunken Valley and near Mibu Village. Slaying them requires careful timing and often the use of specific tools or strategies to catch them. Each defeated Carp yields a certain number of Treasure Carp Scales.
The Purpose of Mask Fragments
Mask Fragments are unique items that, when collected in pairs, can be used at the Dilapidated Temple. By speaking to the Sculptor and selecting the option to 'Break the Mask,' Sekiro can combine two Mask Fragments to create a complete mask. These masks are not for cosmetic purposes; instead, they unlock new Combat Arts or provide significant passive bonuses. The Mask Fragment: Right, when combined with the Mask Fragment: Left, unlocks a powerful new ability.
Combining the Fragments
Once you have acquired both the Mask Fragment: Right and the Mask Fragment: Left (which is found elsewhere), return to the Sculptor. He will offer to break the mask, allowing you to use its power. The specific ability gained depends on which fragments are combined, but they are always significant upgrades to Sekiro's combat repertoire.
