Black Iron Helm

In-Game Description

Helm of Black Iron Tarkus, a knight known
for his great strength.

Built of a special black iron and
providing strong defense, notably
against fire, but so terrible heavy to be
unwieldy to all but Tarkus himself.

Availability

Treasure from a corpse in Anor Londo, along with the rest of the Black Iron Set, the Black Iron Greatshield, and a Greatsword. The corpse is located to the left of the giant painting that leads to the Painted World of Ariamis, guarded by a Painting Guardian.
