What does dipping my head in wax do?

Question

So I'm in the Grand Archives, and I came across a pool of wax I can dunk my head into. When I do so, I get a nice fancy looking head covered in wax.

So, that looks pretty fancy and all, but what exactly does this do?

Answer 1

The waxed head will make you immune to the damage and curses those Ghost Hands inflict, as seen below. The buff only lasts for a few minutes, but there's a couple pools spread throughout the grand archives, so you don't need to always run back to that one to reapply the buff.
