Symbol of Avarice | Dark Souls
Symbol of Avarice is a Helm in Dark Souls. This headpiece resembles a monstrous treasure chest and can be obtained from Mimics found in Sen's Fortress, Anor Londo, and the Oolacile Township. Despite its fearsome appearance, the helm offers impressive Physical defense and poise, making it a sturdy choice for melee combat. However, it has low resistance to Fire and Lightning. One notable downside is that it drains your HP at a rate of approximately 5 points per second. On the plus side, it significantly boosts Item Discovery, increasing your chances of finding rare items.
"Monster head resembling a treasure chest. Once an ancient god, it is said this is the symbol of shame imposed on a long lost clan, exiled for the sin of avarice
Wearing this slightly raises soul absorption and item discovery, but also affects its wearer with the curse of the branded."
