Exploring Skyrim's Legendary Relics in a Modding Resurgence
Players revisit classic quests, driving fresh interest in rare collectibles. The Rarest Mask in Skyrim (And How to Get It) sits at the top of many wish lists.
The Rarest Mask in Skyrim (And How to It) is the Mask of Clavicus Vile. This Daedric artifact is obtained during the "Barbas Awakens" quest by choosing to kill the spirit dog. Studies indicate this dramatic choice makes the mask a prized centerpiece for collectors.
Acquisition Through a High-Risk Quest
Accept the quest from priest Tember in the Anvil cellar. Talk to Barbas, then decide between saving the maid or claiming the mask. Research suggests this moral choice amplifies the reward's appeal.

What happens if you refuse Barbas?
You lose the chance to obtain the Mask of Clavicus Vile entirely.
Can this mask be duplicated or altered?
