Lamenting Visage

A stone lantern carved to resemble a lamenting human head, the eyes vacantly beaming out light. Can be raised up when equipped in the left hand, illuminating more of the surrounding area. The unusual expression somehow imparts a sense of contentment. The languid ease of one who needs not sight.

Inside a room on the lower level of the Lamenter's GaolGrace, hidden behind an illusory wall. In the area you fall through the floor, go up the stairs and into the first doorway. Roll into the end of the passageway and use the Gaol Lower Level Key to open the door. Weapon Skill: Blindfold of Happiness. Makes the user harder to detect. This torch cannot be infused with No Skill. Can't be buffed by Magic or Consumables. Lamenting Visage can be upgraded by using Somber Smithing Stones. Scales with Strength and deals only physical damage when used as a melee weapon. At 80 Strength, the Lamenting Visage has 444 AR while one-handing and 478 AR while two-handing. When raised, Lamenting Visage also acts as a shield that blocks attacks against it, which also allows one to use Guard Counter (main hand weapon strong attack upon successful block). Its poor defensive stats however only make this useful in emergencies. Because the weapon art makes it harder for enemies to detect the player, the item is helpful for sneaking through the Abyssal WoodsRegion.
