Mask of the Father is a Helm in Dark Souls.
Mask of the Father Description
"One of the three masks of the Pinwheel, the necromancer who stole the power of the Gravelord, and reigns over the Catacombs. This mask, belonging to the valiant father, slightly raises equipment load."
How to Get / Where to Find Mask of the Father
- Dropped by Pinwheel.
- Sold by Patches the Hyena in the Firelink Shrine for 8000 souls.
- Drops from Pinwheel Servant (2% Chance - Tomb of Giants).
Notes
- Cannot be upgraded.
- Increases Equip Load by 5%
- Stacks with Havel's Ring and Ring of Favor and Protection.
- The extremely slight benefit combined with the small defense and 0 poise of the armor piece make it a poor choice for optimization, and is completely unused for optimization in PvP.
Trivia
- On October 31, 2012, the YouTuber OnlyAfro released a video presenting a build called GiantDad using this mask. He has since clarified that the purpose of the video was to ridicule the build "because it was so actually bad". It consisted of the Father's Mask, a fully upgraded Giant Armor Set, a +10 Chaos Zweihander, a Grass Crest Shield, Havel's Ring, Ring of Favor and Protection, +5 Ascended Pyromancy Flame, two Black Flames; starting with the class Bandit and reaching a Soul Level of 99 (48 Vit, 12 Att, 66 End, 16 Str, 10 Dex, and base stats for the rest), and using the "Well! What Is It!" Gesture. This build quickly grew in popularity and is often considered the most popular meme of the Dark Souls series.

I don't even know what pkcs stands for so I think I'm on the right track, maybe.

I found Giantdad build is only good for killing new player, when it comes to 1v1 with DWGR duelist, this build is completely outclassed by ninja flip backstab build. Giantdad fast roll has nowhere agile as ninja flip, which means you will always fail to escape backstab compare to DWGR user, while DWGR user will always successfully dodge/trade backstab you due to zweihander slow movement speed.
Overall, Giantdad is a good min/max pvp build, but definitely nowhere near the top tier duelist build

Just fought my first giant dad yesterday. I was farming souvenirs so I could get the darkmoon talisman since I got pretty high faith when unbeknownst to me I had sinned at some point and the beast appeared in my world.
I unfortunately leveled Dex and like to ninja flip so I got stun locked and was quickly killed.
Long story short this guy scary

Every true Giantdad needs to level red once to wield the Zweihander, assuming they choose the bandit class. Lol

Players don’t cosplay as GiantDad, his soul possesses them to bring forth his physical presence.

I seriously never heard or saw this Giant dad before until today.
Reason could be that I don't play online and watch muchDark Souls related stuff

I trick people with my giant dad build by putting my shield in the right hand and the chaos zweihander in the left. It always tricks people.

i don't get why people treat giant dads like its literally the dad of every dark souls player, you can feel the boomer aura in the air from miles away when they start saying stuff like "giant dad would be proud of this"

Perhaps the mask of the father is Nito's distorted memory of his former face and the baby skeletons in his lair are an attempt to find his lost child

is there any information as to where the art direction came from for the design of this mask? it looks similar to some stone carvings of vulcan/hephaestus from around 1 BCE.

Anyone who uses the term "casual" as an Insult inadvertently reveals their lack of a meaningful existence. One day you'll realize you wasted your life. Thank God you don't reproduce. Fucking Rotondo clones.

In the age of consoles when Dark Souls had yet to come to PC, three terrors emerged from the catacombs where the bodies of long dead giants dwell and each wore one of the three faces of the necromancer Pinwheel. But it was not these masks from which their true power dwelled but in an enchanted ring of dark wood.
The Havel Mother with her great crystal club and rock hard magic bane armor crushed new players into bloody pulp and fed on their humanity like a demon of yore. Nothing could stop her, not even Crystal magic or pyromancy and miracles. She is the Juggernaut of the unholy three.
The Hidden Son with his chaos blade, black set armor and ring of fog wrecked havoc on players in true troll fashion for he was dexterity incarnate for no one could lock onto him and his stamina was almost unlimited as he danced around players and drove them hollow. He is the Ninja of the Unholy Three.
And last was the giant father encased in a suit of giant armor with a chaos zweihander and black flame pyromancy wrecked destruction on players and mercilessly hunted them down. No shield could block him, no roll could dodge him and no spell could stop him for he was relentless in his ravenous hunt for humanity. He is the Legend of the Unholy three.
Then a day came when the gods nerfed the dark wood ring and their power was halved. Even in their diminished powers are they still a force to deal with and are still feared to this day.

Looks somewhat similar to Saturn in Francisco Goya's painting. This was probably somewhat intentional.
