Unleash your darker side with Oni Masks, unique items dropped by defeated lesser demons, offering powerful abilities.
Each Oni Mask embodies distinct powers. For example, the Fire Oni Mask launches fiery projectiles, while the Void Oni Mask allows teleportation, giving you a tactical edge in battles.
