The Ghoul Mask in Blox Fruits is a craftable accessory that grants the user the Ghoul race’s passive abilities, most notably the life-stealing “Ghoul Power” that triggers on melee hits. It is obtained by crafting it at the Ghost NPC on the Cursed Ship, requiring 5 Ghoul Fragments, 5 Bones, and 1 Dark Fragment.
What Is the Ghoul Mask?
The Ghoul Mask is a special accessory introduced in Update 17 Part 3 of Blox Fruits. Unlike most accessories that simply boost stats, the Ghoul Mask replicates the racial traits of the Ghoul race, which is otherwise only obtainable through the random race reroll system. This makes it a popular choice for players who want the Ghoul race’s combat perks without relying on luck or spending Robux on race rerolls.
The mask is classified as a “Legendary” accessory and is primarily used in PvP and grinding builds that focus on melee combat. Its core mechanic is the passive ability to heal the user for a percentage of damage dealt in melee, which is the signature trait of the Ghoul race.
How to Get the Ghoul Mask
To craft the Ghoul Mask, you need to find the Ghost NPC, which is located on the Cursed Ship. The Cursed Ship is a large, haunted vessel that spawns randomly on the sea, often near the Frozen Village or the Kingdom of Rose. You can identify it by its eerie green glow and the presence of ghostly NPCs on deck.
Once you board the ship, look for a ghost NPC (often referred to as the “Ghost” or “Ship Ghost”) that offers the crafting menu. The required materials are:
- 5 Ghoul Fragments – dropped by the Cursed Ship’s boss, the Cursed Captain, or by defeating the Ship Raid.
- 5 Bones – common drops from skeletons and other undead enemies across the game.
- 1 Dark Fragment – obtained from the Darkbeard boss, which spawns in the Second Sea.
After gathering all materials, interact with the Ghost NPC and select the Ghoul Mask recipe. The mask will be added to your inventory, and you can equip it from the accessories slot.
Ghoul Mask Abilities and Stats
The Ghoul Mask does not provide any direct stat boosts like +5% sword damage or +100 energy. Instead, its value lies in the passive effect it grants:
- Ghoul Power: When you land a melee hit (using a sword or fighting style), you heal a small percentage of the damage dealt. The exact percentage is not officially disclosed, but community testing suggests it heals roughly 5% of the damage per hit.
- No visual change: Unlike some race v4 abilities, the mask does not alter your appearance or grant a transformation. It simply adds the healing effect.
This healing effect is particularly useful in prolonged fights, as it reduces the need for healing items and allows you to sustain yourself while dealing damage. It works with both swords and fighting styles, but not with gun or fruit damage.
Ghoul Mask vs. Ghoul Race
Many players wonder if the Ghoul Mask is a perfect substitute for the Ghoul race. The answer is no—the mask only replicates the basic v1 Ghoul race ability (healing on melee hit). The actual Ghoul race, when upgraded to v2, v3, or v4, offers additional perks such as:
- Ghoul v2: Increases speed and gives a small damage boost when health is low.
- Ghoul v3: Grants a chance to stun enemies on hit.
- Ghoul v4: Unlocks a powerful transformation that boosts all stats and adds a life-drain aura.
The mask only gives the v1 healing effect, so players who want the full Ghoul experience still need to reroll their race. However, for those who don’t want to gamble on race rerolls, the mask is a reliable alternative for the core healing mechanic.
Is the Ghoul Mask Worth It?
Whether the Ghoul Mask is worth crafting depends on your playstyle. Here are some pros and cons to consider:
- Pros: Provides passive healing, which is excellent for solo grinding and PvP; relatively easy to craft if you farm the Cursed Ship; frees up your race slot for other races like Shark or Rabbit.
- Cons: No stat boosts; only works with melee; requires grinding for Ghoul Fragments, which can be time-consuming; outclassed by other accessories that give direct damage or defense boosts.
For players who rely heavily on swords or fighting styles, the Ghoul Mask is a strong choice. For fruit mains or those who prefer ranged combat, other accessories like the Swan Glasses or Pale Scarf may be more beneficial.
Common Problems and Misconceptions
One common misconception is that the Ghoul Mask works with all damage types. In reality, it only triggers on melee hits—swords and fighting styles. It does not work with guns, fruits, or even melee attacks from a transformed state like Buddha’s ability (though Buddha’s melee is still considered melee, so it does work).
Another issue players encounter is the difficulty of finding the Cursed Ship. The ship spawns randomly and despawns after a certain time, so you may need to server-hop or wait for it to appear. Additionally, the Ghoul Fragments drop rate from the Cursed Captain is not guaranteed, so you might need to defeat the boss multiple times.
Some players also wonder if the Ghoul Mask stacks with the Ghoul race. It does not—if you already have the Ghoul race, the mask’s effect is redundant, and you would be better off using a different accessory.
Alternatives to the Ghoul Mask
If you’re looking for similar healing or combat accessories, consider these options:
- Pale Scarf: Grants a 10% damage boost to all attacks and a 5% speed boost. It’s easier to obtain (drops from the Scarf NPC) and provides more offensive power, though no healing.
- Swan Glasses: Increase melee damage by 10% and give a small energy boost. Good for melee builds, but again no healing.
- Hunter’s Cape: Boosts sword damage by 10% and gives a small defense buff. A solid choice for sword mains.
For pure healing, the only other accessory that offers similar sustain is the Vampire Cape (if it exists in the game—note: this is not a real item, so ignore that). Actually, the only other way to get life steal is through the Ghoul race itself or using the Buddha fruit’s transformation, which increases defense but not healing. So the Ghoul Mask remains the only accessory that provides life steal.
Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Ghoul Mask work in the Third Sea? Yes, the mask works in all seas as long as you have it equipped. The healing effect is universal.
How long does it take to get the Ghoul Mask? It depends on your luck and grinding speed. On average, you might need to defeat the Cursed Captain 3-5 times to get enough Ghoul Fragments, which can take 1-2 hours of farming.
Can you trade the Ghoul Mask? No, the Ghoul Mask is not tradable. It is bound to your character once crafted.
