Tips

Player skills requiring Head are mostly skills that heals or skills that inflicts Ailments. All Runemaster and Hexer skills and most Medic and Sovereign skills use Head, so having these classes Head Bound can make them useless.

Like other Binds, the player can inflict Head Bind on monsters to prevent them from using specific skills.

To get a Sealed Cap a Cursed Shroom must be defeated while it is Head bound. To get a Sealed Neck a Mandrake must be defeated while it is Head bound.
