Gloria Helm

The Gloria Helm is a Helm found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. It can only be found when dropped by an Aka Manah in Mars Lighthouse, although this happens very rarely. Being a Helm, it can be equipped by Isaac, Felix, Garet, and Piers.

The Gloria Helm increases the wearer's defense by 49, the highest defensive rating of all headgear in the game (with the exception of the Demon Circlet, which is cursed). Also, the wearer recovers 10 HP each turn, greatly increasing their chances of survival. The Gloria Helm can be bought for 13800 coins and sold for 10350 coins.

The Gloria Helm is one of the best pieces of armor in the game, considering its high defensive rating and HP recovery rate. In fact, the only other equipment available to the Adepts listed above that automatically recovers HP is the Erebus Armor, which only restores 6 HP per turn. However, the Erebus Armor may be considered more valuable by some players as there are several Crowns that automatically recover PP, but there are no pieces of Armor or Clothing that do the same. Regardless of a player's preference, multiple Gloria Helms and Erebus Armors can be obtained, further increasing their value.
