"Headgear that uses Guardian parts to decrease the damage from ancient energy attacks."

— In-Game Description

The Ancient Helm is a helm found in Breath of the Wild. It has a base defense of 4 and decreases damage taken from Guardian laser attacks. This headgear can be obtained by visiting the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab and speaking to Cherry, and exchanging 20 Ancient Gears, 5 Ancient Shafts, 3 Ancient Cores, as well as 2000 Rupees for it. This trade can only be completed after the Ancient Furnace outside of the lab has been lit.

In terms of effects, the Diamond Circlet is interchangeable with the Ancient Helm as part of the Ancient Set, and follows the same strength levels. However, procuring diamonds may prove more time-consuming in comparison, as the Helm requires more readily available ancient parts to upgrade. Aside from that, using the circlet in the set deprives it of the Ancient Proficiency weapon bonus.

Set

The Ancient Set (also including Ancient Cuirass and Ancient Greaves) increases damage done to Guardians and damage using Ancient and Guardian Weapons, when all equipped pieces have been enhanced at least twice.

Enhance Path

Enhancing Armor requires that Link has unlocked as many Great Fairy Fountains as the desired star-level.
