Zahkriisos(
) is a dragon priest mask found in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn. Zahkriisos can translate to either "sword blood" or "bloody sword" in the dragon language, which is likely a reference to the sword associated with the burial place of its wearer.
Acquisition
This dragon mask can be acquired from the remains of Zahkriisos, one of four named dragon priests on Solstheim. Zahkriisos can be encountered in the Nordic ruin of Bloodskal Barrow during the quest "The Final Descent"
Enchantment
Zahkriisos' unique enchantment is called "Dukaan's Fury" [note 1]. It grants bonuses to shock damage and resistance:
In addition, weapons that bear a shock damage enchantment are also boosted by 25%. Like most unique enchantments, Zahkriisos cannot be disenchanted.
Smithing
It can be upgraded with an ebony ingot at a workbench, and also benefits from the Daedric Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.
Usefulness
Much like its counterparts Ahzidal and Dukaan, Zahkriisos is useful for a mage who favors shock spells, though the shock resistance may make it less useful than the other two masks, which offer resistance to the more commonly utilized fire and frost magic.

Footnotes
- ↑ According to the game data, it seems the name of the enchantment has been mixed up with Dukaan's Mask, which itself bears Zahkriisos' enchantment called "Zahkriisos' Ire".
