Warrior's Helm

The Warrior's Helm is a Helm-class piece of armor found in Golden Sun and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. It is found in a treasure chest in Lalivero in Golden Sun, accessible by climbing to the roof of Faran's house and jumping onto the yellow wall that serves as the town’s perimeter. In Dark Dawn, it is found in a chest in the Teppe Ruins. Visually, the Warrior's helm resembles a red helm with horns that almost resemble eyes.

The Warrior's Helm features a relatively high defense rating of 35. It increases the wearer’s Venus power by 10 and increases the rate of Critical Hits and Unleashes by 10%. It is bought for 10000 coins while its resale value is 7500 coins.

The Warrior's Helm, as a Helm-class item, is wearable by Isaac, Garet, Felix, and Piers. It is one of Golden Sun's best pieces of headgear, perhaps the best headgear for Isaac to wear, period. It increments Isaac's high Venus power even higher and increases his critical hit rate; combining this with the Gaia Blade will make Isaac a very powerful warrior at the end of Golden Sun. It would be outperformed at the end of Golden Sun: The Lost Age, namely by the Mythril Helm.

In Dark Dawn, the Helm is equippable by Matthew, Tyrell, and Eoleo. Though it is not the strongest helm by Defense rating, it is still an excellent choice for Matthew. The increased Venus power helps increase the damage he can do with the Gaia Blade and the Sol Blade's Megiddo. The Warrior's Helm is also useful in that it is the only Helm-class item in Dark Dawn that also raises the critical hit rate. Thus, it is a necessary part of an equipment setup designed to raise the Unleash rate of the Sol Blade, which only Matthew can use. Combining the Helm with the Valkyrie Mail, Ninja Sandals, Aegis Shield, and Lord Sun's Ring allow for a nearly 100% Unleash rate.
