Bandana

The Bandana is a piece of cloth designed to protect the forehead in Castlevania.

In Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, it is a relatively high grade head protector, giving Defense +2 and Intelligence +1. It's usefulness is in between the two masks which give the same Defense boost, the Ballroom Mask (no Int boost) and the Stone Mask (INT +4).

In Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Jonathan can equip it for DEF +3 and DEF and CON +1. It is somewhat less useful than the other head gear that boosts these three physical attributes, the Combat Beret (+2 each).
