Gloria Helm

A Gloria Helm is a Helm found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. In each game they appear in, Gloria Helms are acquired as monster drops: The Aka Manahs of Mars Lighthouse in The Lost Age (weak to Mars); The Fury Demons of Apollo Ascent in Dark Dawn (weak to Jupiter). Being a Helm, they can be equipped by Isaac, Felix, Garet, Piers, Matthew, Tyrell, and Eoleo.

A 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.

A 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.
