Dragon Priest Masks
Getting Konahrik
Every once in a while, you might encounter a Dragon Priest near a Nordic ruin sporting a unique name. These are one of Skyrim's eight named Dragon Priests. They are powerful enemies that often cap off a difficult challenge and are accompanied by a small pile of treasure within a conveniently placed chest.

The treasure that they do have often pales in comparison to their Dragon Priest masks. These masks come with some of the game's most powerful enchantments Getting all of them is not so easy because they are not tracked by quest markers and must be discovered organically.
Dragon Priest Masks
There are nine Dragon Priest masks in Skyrim, all found in locations related to the old Dragon Cult that dominated Skyrim centuries ago. You will likely encounter them during your adventures at times that you do not expect.
There is only one of each mask. You will not be able to find a copy if you lose one.

Many of the masks provide protection as either Light or Heavy helmets. Their armor ratings will be affected by the relevant perks and skills.

Getting Konahrik
The hardest mask to get in Skyrim is Konahrik because you need to get all eight masks to trigger a mechanism to get it. You will need to go to Bromjunaar Sanctuary, an unmarked building in Labyrinthian.
You will need to look for a Wooden Mask and a row of Dragon Priest busts inside the Sanctuary. Wear the Wooden Mask in front of the busts to be transported back in time. Place each mask on its corresponding bust to complete the set and unlock Konahrik.
The masks will revert to their default form, losing any Blacksmith enhancements that you might have placed on them.
