Revision as of 15:43, 8 June 2020

The Ancient Nord Helmet is a piece of heavy armor and a part of the Ancient Nord Armor set found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

It is a variant of the iron helmet and has similar base attributes. However, what makes it superior is that it benefits from the Daedric Smithing perk, which vastly improves its armor rating when upgraded. This makes it comparable with some of the higher tier armors.

Physical appearance

It bears a resemblance to the decayed helmets worn by some draugr, however, what makes it relatively rare is the fact that it cannot be taken from defeated draugr or crafted under normal circumstances.

The helmet also differs in appearance depending on the gender of the wearer. Male characters have two curved horns, much like the iron helmet. Female characters have a helmet with what appear to be deer or Elk antlers.

Locations

Smithing

This item can only be crafted at the Skyforge once the Companions' main questline has been completed. It can be created with the following components:

It can be upgraded with an iron ingot at a workbench, and also benefits from the Daedric Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.

Variants

Trivia

  • This Helmet resembles the playable helmets of The Elder Scrolls: Arena, in which all plate helmets worn by the Eternal Champion were identical in shape and the only difference was the color (depending of the material; for example, the Dwarven helmet looked like a golden version of the plate version).
