Where to Find the Mask Fragment: Dragon
One of the pieces of the Dancing Dragon Mask is the Mask Fragment: Dragon. You can purchase this from the Dungeon Memorial Mob for 5,000 Sen. This merchant is located just beside the Abandoned Dungeon Entrance idol.
Where to Find the Mask Fragment: Right
The right piece of the Mask Fragment is sold by Pot Noble Harunaga. You’ll find him in the waters under the bridge on the first section of the Hirata Estate. He’ll sell the Mask Fragment to you in exchange for seven Treasure Carp Scales.
Where to Find the Mask Fragment: Left
The left piece of the Mask Fragment is sold by Pot Noble Koremori in exchange for 12 Treasure Carp Scales. This vendor is located beside the Near Pot Noble idol, on a cliff to the left of the palace.
Since both Pot Noble Haranuga and Pot Noble Koremori only take Treasure Carp Scales as payment for their wares, you’ll need to collect at least 19 of them to get the two Mask Fragments from them.

There are 44 Treasure Carp Scales in Sekiro, which means you’ll have more than enough of them to purchase two Mask Fragments.

Locations of Other Treasure Carp Scales
You can also obtain a multitude of Treasure Carp Scales while exploring the game’s various levels. Here’s where you can find or collect Treasure Carp Scales outside of just hunting Treasure Carps.
- Hirata Estate
There’s one Treasure Carp Scale at the side of the river left of the bridge at the beginning of the level.
- Ashina Depths
There’s one in the narrow pathway below the Mibu Village idol. It’s guarded by a Ministry Shinobi.
You can also obtain five more by giving the priest in Mibu Village the Water of the Palace. He’ll be in the house that’s surrounded by enemies beyond the bridge after Rin’s boss area. You’ll need to crouch and enter the house from underneath via a rotating door.
As for the Water of the Palace, you’ll find this item in the Fountainhead Palace.
Start from the Flower Viewing Stage idol and enter the garden behind you. There’s a building to the right with a hole in the ground. Dive here and you’ll find yourself in a room on the other side. The Water of the Palace is in this room.
Once obtained, give the item to the priest in Mibu Village. Then, reload the area and the priest will transform into an enemy. Defeat him to obtain five Treasure Carp Scales.
- Fountainhead Palace
The Fountainhead Palace is the most abundant source of Treasure Carp Scales in the game. You’ll find three of them in the same room where you also find the Water of the Palace.
You’ll also find five around the large body of water. Three of them are inside a house that’s sunken underwater, and two of them are on the seabed, on a giant carp skeleton.
