A Steel Plate Helmet is a piece of heavy armor and part of the Steel Plate Armor set found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Locations[]
Unenchanted helmets will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 18 and enchanted variants can be found at level 19. These locations include:
- Blacksmiths and General Goods Merchants.
- Found as random loot in chests or as a world item.
- Commonly worn by high-level Bandit Chiefs.
- Atar at Karthwasten may wear one if the player is level 25+.
Smithing[]
A Steel Plate Helmet requires a Smithing level of 50 and the Advanced Armors perk to create. It can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 1 × Corundum Ingot
- 2 × Steel Ingots
- 1 × Iron Ingot
- 2 × Leather Strips
It can be upgraded with a Corundum Ingot at a workbench and also benefits from the Advanced Armors perk, which doubles the improvement.
Trivia[]
- On the brow, above the eyes, of the helmet there are Daedric letters engraved into it. The Daedric letters can be translated to "Nord Plate Nord Plate."
- The decorations over the ears appear to be spread wings, with another set going down the side of the cheek.
