Crown of Dusk | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

This is so ugly, I will keep the witch hat for my character, those extra damages arent very important anyway

Submit

Pros: you'll recieve +20% damage boost for all your magic attacks and sorceries
Cons: lowered defence + you'll look like an owl that just got eaten and sh** out by a bear

Submit

Ah yes, the "helmet" which every sorcerer is basically required to wear looks f***ing stupid.

Submit

So this means that Farron Keep (the place you find this) is totally Oolacile/ Darkroom Garden, right? Makes sense of why the Abyss Watchers are found fighting the abyss here

Submit

In Dark Souls 1, this increase pyro and miracle dmg as well? Does it do that in DS3, it just stated https://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Miracles
under Miracle Enhancement Items that Crown of Dusk is one of them.

Submit

i will personally moonlight vortex anyone who uses this headpiece

Submit

Anyone know if this crown is like the blindfold mask? As in, when broken the damage vulnerability is only 15% and not 30%?

Submit

It should emphasize “keep ruins” bonfire. I wasted time looking and wasting moss from the “farron keep” bonfire

Submit

someone listed this as boosting miracles. pretty sure it doesn't

Submit

Rather Annoying that it just boosts Spell Magic Damage, DS1 at least it gave a boost to any catalyst's magic adjust

Submit

anyone how if it stacks with the "Dusk Crown Ring"

Submit

I don't know...10% damage increase is not enough to wear this abomination instead of Karla's Hat, Sage Hat or Firewitchhelmet...
Maybe for sweating hard in arena...

Submit

so much ruined fashion souls potential because of this thing, i wish it gave no dmg bonus so I could use whatever without knowing im gimping my damage. still wear it anyways qq

Submit

Just so all of you know, the crown of dusk increases MAGIC DAMAGE. Which means it can increase magic damage of miracles like darkmoon blade too, it's not just sorceries that get buffed. If you don't believe me, read the description.

Submit

These comments are hilarious. I play mostly as a female cus if I’m gonna get my ass kicked, at least I’ll look pretty doing it. But even I hate the look of this thing!

Submit

Nya~

fuk absorption, I'm Harry Potter

guys guys use this with archdeacon set on male character (and make a young and not that ugly one) and it feets perfectly, fashion souls are safe

Submit

its a troll from Miyazaki cause sorcery is for pssies

Submit

As a dude, i consider it humiliating, that i have to turn into a catgirl, for 10% bonus damage... i still do it uwu

Submit

S U C H S T Y L E

Submit

As of this date, does NOT affect dark sorceries (tested with Affinity and Dark Edge, on drakeblood knight)

Submit

Putting this on is the equivalent of wearing a dunce cap

Submit

Does the damage buff apply to pyromancies?

Submit

On a game with no compass you should say left or right when exiting a door not northwest there is no bearing.

Submit

Doesn't work with dark spells

Submit

*laughs in pure melee INT build*

Submit

Can someone drop me this and the Young Dragon Ring pls

Submit

Does it affect darkmoon blade?

Submit

Does this work like the blindfold mask where if it breaks you only get -15% to magic but the buff stays?

Submit

I need this for my faith build but damn this will hurt my fashion souls

Submit

Is it only spells or is it just magic damage in general? For example would I get the boost on something like the Moonlight Greatsword

Submit

Does the broken one that reduces the -30 by -15 still give the boost .

Submit

Dark Souls needs a hide helmet option.

Submit

*Pale Pine Resin buffing intensifies*

Submit

Can someone drop me this and the Young Dragon Ring pls

Submit

Can someone drop me this and the Young Dragon Ring pls

Submit

if you don t speak to the archer giant, he'll practically kill the crab for you Theres a spot where the crab gets stuck and the giant shoots it if you set up correctly

Submit

You guys are crazy, maybe your character is ugly in general. But with this, my male character looks flipping adorable.

Submit

Rip fashion.

Submit

It looks pretty nice on my trap character

Submit

Honestly i don't understand why people are calling it ugly i personally think its really cute and looks great on female characters i completely understand not liking not cause of how stupid it looks on male characters

Submit

Northwest. With what compass?

Submit

Worst item in the entire game simply due to the fact that it forces sorcery users to look stupid.

Submit

Why split the sorcery damage in one ugly helm, and carry this***** though the 2 best games of the Dark Souls series? From sucks

Submit

does this boost pyromancy?

Submit

I have not seen it mentioned, but I am getting 20% increase in souls from enemies while wearing the Crown.

Submit

Try with Smough set for wtf look

Submit

This is listed as an item that boosts miracles

Submit

crown of dusk boosts the ar of weapons that deal magic damage, but not even close to the claimed 10 % :

- greatsword of judgement with 250 magic AR -> +12 ar
- crystal mail breaker with 180 magic AR -> +9 AR
- moonlight greatsword with 325 magic AR -> +16 AR

tested without any ring to prevent hidden interactions

that means the true bonus to magic dmgs is actually 5% , not 10%

Submit

The crown doesn't boost the damage of dark Sorceries. Already tested too, so if you need to try it too to test, try it.

Submit

You know what would have been actually cooler , if this boost was on sage's big hat or karlas pointed hat or all of them cause they are hoods anyway.

Submit

wtf the game data shows this only mutiplies magic attack by 1.04. when did they nerf it?

Submit

Directions to items shouldn't be given in terms of cardinal directions. There's no unambiguous "northwest" without an accompanying map.

Submit

does it work for miracles as well or no?

Submit

So how's this sound for a maximum-magic-destruction setup?
1. Wear Crown of Dusk (+10% magic dmg)
2. Equip young dragon, bellowing dragoncrest, and magic clutch ring (a whopping 47% magic dmg boost for all 3!!) In the 4th slot i would probably equip ROSP, lloyd's sword ring, or chloranthy.
3. Hold Scholar's candlestick in your offhand for another 12.5% magic dmg if you are casting sorceries like CSS, but if you are gong for melee like me, just buff your weapon of choice with darkmoon blade (scholar's candlestick only affects your currently equipped catalyst's spellbuff, so you can't cast a buff like DMB and then switch to the candlestick for the damage boost).
4. Watch your enemies' life bars melt away as you obliterate them a total magic dmg boost of 57%, or 69.5% (!!!) if you use the candlestick.

I'll be trying this setup on my current character as soon as I have all the items (still need to farm concords for DMB). There aren't many enemies in this game that are weak to magic (I don't believe there is even a single boss who is weak to magic unfortunately), but i'm betting that the potential 70% boost will make magic more effective even against bosses like the dancer and abyss watchers, who are extremely weak to fire and lightning, respectively. To anyone who's already tried setups like this, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Submit

This is perfect to cosplay as a gardevoir

Submit

Edgy, dark and climate veils, hoods, crowns, diadems or great mage hats. Yet, you still have to wear this crap cause you cant live without maxed dmg... especially while in DkS3 magic is so underpowered.
BTW it used to give a whole 25% bonus in DkS1, even while magic was good on its own.

Submit

Beats by Dusk

Submit

Why does they have to kill my friend if i get this item? My poor fren. He just wanted to help

Submit

Really wish they just made the Sage's Big Hat have this buff instead.

Like WTF

Submit

...Am I the only person who actually likes how this looks?
I wear it just becaues I like how it looks actually..

Submit

A true Dark Souls classic, this utter piece of crap makes you look like some hideous clown sulking in deepest corners of hell, yet you will wear it because it buffs your casting skill up to heavens. A moment of silence for Dark Souls2 pyromancer handcuffs.

Submit

also i use these rings1 magic clutch ring which increases your damage by 15%2 sage's ring which increases your casting time.3 young dragon ring which increases your damage by 12%4 bellowing dragon crest ring which increases your damage by a further 20%all the damage stacks btw

Submit

if you are like me you're probably here trying to figure out what items will help you be a boss sorcerer. well i'm going to save you the trouble. there are only two items that boost your damage (besides rings) 1 being the crown of dusk and the other being the scholars candlestick, dropped by the wax covered scholars in the grand items. it raises your damage by about 25%.

Submit

does this stack with magic clutch ring and does it apply to moonlight greatsword?

Submit

The boost isn't worth ruining my fashion souls

Submit

Does this helmet also increase tha magic damage of weapons buffed with pale pine resin? any1 knows?

Submit

I will try to see if it affects DMB or not, if it does, this could make my build alot better.

Submit

since crown boosts Darkmoon Blade damage (it's a miracle) https://youtu.be/ldagh80glf8

Submit

...you have some reflective armor on. I am currently wearing it with Fire Witch's Armor, Fire Witch's Gauntlets and Archdeacon Skirt. Makes you look like a sort of Sorcerer Prince. This way it doesn't make me wanna rip out my eyes every time I see it. It's still ugly, but it suits the rest of the armor.

Submit

Darkmoon blade is a miracle spell but it adds magic damage to your weapon, so would crown of dusk boost that damage as well?

Submit

I would recommend linking much more precise videos of the locations for specific stuff.Never found anything with this 2h video skip fest.

Submit

The Crown of Dusk doesn't boost sorceries, but rather it boosts magic damage like the Magic Clutch Ring.

Submit

RIP

Submit

Doesn't work with Dark Magic? Tried testing it with Great Deep Soul and Deep Soul, with and without my dragon ring(s), with and without my Scholar's Candlestick offhanded, and never got the buff?

Submit

no buff for dark sorcerery,pyromancy and miracles...

Submit

If you are making the crown of dusk as part of your build make sure to use a shield with Spell Parry, either Golden Eagle shield or Golden Crest shield, as they send spells back to their sender.No idea wheter the spell buff helps make the sent spells stronger.

Submit

Does it Apply to Soul Dregs and Mercury ... i guess not because it boost magic weapon damage too hmmm ...any one tested it?

Submit

Does not seem to affect dark sorceries either. Tested using Soul Dreg on hollow in High Wasl of Lothric; same damage without it as with it on. Tested Great Soul Arrow alongside it on the same enemies and there was a difference with the Crown on. So it seems to be confirmed that Dark Sorcery is unaffected by the Crown of Dusk.

Submit

I freaking loved the extra perks on the helms in DS2. Like Straids Black Hood. I boosted INT and Spell cast speed plus it looked badass. It was super light but had great weight to defense ratio, add with Vestaldts Chest combo it looked and added up to one bad ass flowing caped mage knight. If I miss one thing its those cool caster hoods...

Submit

Does not effect dark sorcery

Submit

Does the whole set need to be on or just the helm

Submit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii0Zo7QQXVA

Submit

I hope there is any armor buffing pyromancy, increasing int or giving a attunement slot. Something useful for magic users ;).

Submit

I hope it's not the only one helmet boosting sorcery... my sorcerer will look plain ridiculous in this stuff... it's not very gender universal.

Submit

Found next to a white tree to the far right of the giant door that has to be opened by extinguishing flames. It is guarded by a giant crab

Submit

Crown of Dusk is found beneath a tall white tree that stands alone. In stark contrast to the swamp around it. Not far from it are the mushroom people. If you put these things together, it is possible Dusk was transformed into the tree like Elizabeth was a mushroom. Pure speculation, but food for thought.

Submit

Seems to give a 10% increase only to sorceries. No damage increase with pyromancies or miracles.

Submit

Just curious if this still provides boosts to mriacles, pyromancies, and non magic dmg type sorceries, or if it is damage type exclusive now
