Topknot

The Top Knot is head protection in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. It can be created by combining Nodachi with a Tengu Mask. It only gives a Defense boost of +1 and is basically just something that needs to be created before evolving a Stone Mask into a Masakado's Helm. The Top Knot can evolve into a Masakado's Helm by adding Adamantine.
